Today I got to tell a story no one in my family had heard before.

I used to live in Virginia and would travel odd hours on little back roads that never had cell signal when you needed them (usually, the military interfered with cell signal). My car was in the process of catastrophic electrical failure which wouldn’t be diagnosed for the next couple of weeks. So naturally, late in the evening, my car died on the side of the road at a stop sign in the middle of nowhere where I couldn’t call, and I started walking to the service station a few miles up the road.

A car pulled over and a guy about my age rolled down the window and asked if the car back the other way was mine, and if I needed a lift. I said sure - just to the gas station because I know that’s where the signal comes back, and hopped on in.

The guy was very nice, a little socially awkward but aren’t we all - and in an attempt to make a joke, he said: “I’m a little surprised you accepted the ride - aren’t you afraid I might be a serial killer?”

and without turning, I laughed and said: “Nah -what’re the odds we both are?”

Man, I wish I had a picture of his face...

#it was like when you don't know what to do with a compliment #or weird fact you didn't need to know #followed by abject horror as it clicked in what I had just said #and he had to stop and think if *I* was joking or being serious #I like to keep people on their toes #I thought it was funny #AND IT WAS #IT WAS HILARIOUS AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME OTHERWISE #And I was not unarmed #I had three knives on me in various places and probably outweighed him by forty pounds and had just enough rage #to fight a bear if I needed to #I was in no hurry to get back to base #if I went to jail for murder well that was a pretty solid excuse for not showing up to duty

Sword II is coming along! My clay slabs aren't firm enough to start the next step but this is good progress. I don't know what to name it yet; suggestions welcome

#like a lot of what i make this sculpture does a lot of its talking through what ISN'T present #no opponent. no other weapon.#so then the question is: whose sword is that? is it his? was there someone else? was he unarmed or disarmed? is this self inflicted?#is he pulling the sword into himself or drawing it out #i like it when art gives you an emotional response without an answer

After the confession, they still had to run.

#dbda #dead boy detectives #reverse verse #payneland #edwin x charles #i think i accidentally made it so that edwin only smiles when he's trying to be reassuring #oh well #also i hadn't considered this but actually #since the bag of tricks in this universe is Charles' hat #that means edwin went into hell completely unarmed #charles probably dropped the hat when he was dragged back but edwin wouldn't know how to use it #anyway yeah edwin giving the crucifix to charles in hell was decided long ago #it's something meaningful to him. something that's meant to protect him #and charles may not believe the crucifix has any power but he does believe edwin will do anything to keep him safe #i mean he just went TO HELL for him #keep in mind this is immediately after the confession #charles is having a day

Hans to Henry: Why the hell can't I save you for once?

Also Hans:

#kingdom come deliverance #henry of skalitz #hans capon #hansry #I feel like someone else has made this post so apologies if that's so #I'm replaying KCD2 and man the opening sure is catnip #cocky brash Hans is so gentle to Henry even when he's scared out of his wits #he takes charge and leads Henry to safety and takes on a bandit unarmed to save Henry's life

I feel like most of the Wyll x Gale/Bladeweave content I see focuses on "Look at these two charming gentlemen! Lovely fancy lads <3" and like yes, totally, but also. Also.

These two would be such a sassy, bitchy, passive-aggressive couple

Gale "I won't take this lying down. That seems more your style" Dekarios and Wyll "I was wrong about you. You aren't actually insufferably randy. You're just insufferable" Ravenguard?

Gale "I'd wish you a bright future, but as you cannot escape your own company that would be a futile gesture" Dekarios and Wyll "I used to think first love was unsurpassable but you're much more tolerable now that you've found your second" Ravenguard?

These two would go to a ball, take a few turns around the dancefloor, have a lovely evening, and then spend the entire trip home living their best Statler and Waldorf lives just roasting everyone who annoyed them

And gods help you if you manage to genuinely piss off both of them. Forget swords and spells, they'd eviscerate you with their words alone

They may not be as openly catty as Astarion, but their gentlemanly demeanor just means when they roast someone they do it ~eloquently~, and I for one love that for them

#gale dekarios #wyll ravengard #bladeweave #gale x wyll #to be clear i say this with all the love in my heart #but yeah these two are exactly the kind of little shits to say 'i'd challenge you to a battle of wits but i see you're unarmed' unironically #tbh everyone in this party is Real Sassy when they want to be #but yeah despite their surface politeness these two know how to Roast

A few interesting parallels in the SoC duology that I don’t think I’ve seen anyone talk about yet

(Analysis/discussion of these parallels/quotes may come later if anyone's interested)

“These creatures were made to be weapons” - Jarl Brum on Grisha, Six of Crows chapter 35

“He looked like what he truly was: a weapon” - Jesper Fahey on the Khergud, Crooked Kingdom chapter 36

“Welcome to the Hellshow” - Kaz to Nina, Six of Crows chapter 6

“Welcome to the Ice Court, Nina Zenik” - Matthias to Nina, Six of Crows chapter 34

“Is this a play?” - Alys Van Eck “Yes love, and you’re the star” - Jesper Fahey, Crooked Kingdom chapter 8 when Alys is taken captive

“What was this but a play Kaz had staged, with that poor sucker Kuwei as the star?” - Jesper Fahey on the auction plan, Crooked Kingdom chapter 36

“he looked like a priest come to preach to group of circus performers” - Inej on Kaz’s appearance in comparison to the rest of the Barrel, Six of Crows chapter 2

“started to preach” - Inej on Kaz leading a coup against Per Haskell, Crooked Kingdom chapter 27

“Whoever he had become, Matthias was not going to shoot someone unarmed. He'd not yet sunk so far” - Matthias Helvar, Six of Crows chapter 29

“I am unarmed” - Matthias Helvar, Crooked Kingdom chapter 38

"I didn't even know the rules of Makker's Wheel" - Jesper Fahey on his first night gambling in the Barrel, Six of Crows chapter ()

"He knew his guns better than he knew the rules of Makker's Wheel" - Jesper Fahey on the concept of aim and its relationship to his life and his zowa/Grisha abilities, Crooked Kingdom chapter 36

“a tiny voice inside him said he should offer to take the drug as well […] maybe he could have helped to draw the parem out of Nina’s system and set her free. But that was a hero’s voice and Jesper had long since stopped thinking he had the makings of a hero�� - Jesper Fahey, Six of Crows chapter 44

“Matthias gave you the remaining parem, didn’t he?” “So?” “[…] I can’t let my father down again. I need the parem as a security measure” “No” “Why the hell not?” - Jesper and Kaz in discussion about the auction plan, Crooked Kingdom chapter 30

I'll probably be back to add more, feel free to add your own as well

#prepared to cry every time the unarmed quotes come up omg #and i love parallels we all know that but also #another thing from chapter 36 that we do not talk enough about #'it's not a gift it's a curse' but when it came down to it Jesper's life had been full of blessings #His father his mother Inej Nina Matthias leading them across the muddy canal #Kaz even Kaz #with all his cruelties and failings had given him a home and a family in the dregs when Ketterdam might have swallowed him whole #and wylan #wylan who had understood before Jepser ever had that the power inside him might be a blessing too #like this quote????????#it's so underrated?????????????#in fact stay tuned because now that I'm thinking about it it's probably about to get its own post #six of crows #crooked kingdom #grishaverse #jesper fahey #leigh bardugo #kaz brekker #inej ghafa #wylan van eck #nina zenik #matthias helvar #soc meta #six of crows analysis #kanej #wesper #helnik #this has been in my drafts for months and months and months literally just because i couldn't be bothered to find the chapter references lo

I don't think we talk enough about stiles fistfighting werewolves??? I know his bat is iconic and the amount of strength needed to reduce a baseball bat to splinters is WILD, but like.

He repeatedly just socks werewolves in the face?? regular ass human decks an alpha werewolf just because. this happens ALL THE TIME HES BONKERS

weres stiles has hit with his bare hands (both canonically and. not) : Scott, Derek, Theo, Liam (immediately did the "you can hit me back, don't tell Dad" thing), Derek again, Peter, Donovan, Derek for a third time, Ethan, KATE ARGENT

he's too powerful, that's why he's not in the movie. the nogistune would have this whole speech, stiles clocks it in the face, family guy death pose instantly

#teen wolf #stiles stilinski #mieczyslaw stiles stilinski #i dont think that list is accurate but it is in my HEART and thats what's important #mieczyslaw mischief stilinski #mischief stilinski #saw a gifset of stiles fighting werewolves and an ALARMING amount of them hes completely unarmed its fascinating #were vs were fight very serious very deadly were vs stiles fight cartoon violence

Do not let acolyte be what shapes your understanding of the Jedi, because acolyte does not understand the Jedi

#i mean seriously #it thinks Jedi let their opponents have their weapons back because #“Jedi don't fight the unarmed”#it made that up based on a mangled understanding of the Jedi trying not to kill their enemies filtered through (shudders) fanfiction #pro jedi #in defense of the jedi #anti acolyte #anti the acolyte #the acolyte critical #acolyte critical #wooloo-writes #wooloo writes #star wars #sw

"Please! We come from a peaceful planet! We mean you no harm. We're unarmed!"

#Takashi Shirogane #Shiro #You're nothingness but shining and everywhere at once.#Voltron: Legendary Defender #Mine.#And so begins Shiro's Year in Hell.#(And cue the usual suspects making their tasteless 'you're not unarmed yet' 'jokes'.)#Still not as appalling as the video that likened Shiro's electro-stim bracelets keeping his muscles loose to a fabric tube man that flails #and flutters about outside of car dealerships.#Yet pretty damned awful all the same.#I don't know why Shiro's trauma is a joke while certain other characters are treated like they're #the biggest victims in the entire universe but this IS The Fandom Straight From Hell we're talking about.#All Shiro wanted to do was go on what very well might have been his final mission into deep space #maybe even one of his final flights as a pilot at all #before his body started to fail him.#He lost his long-term partner over this mission.#It was supposed to be routine.#And instead he gets abducted by universe-conquering tyrannical monsters and spends an entire year being tortured #experimented on #and having to fight for his life and kill or be killed for those monsters' entertainment.#Trauma isn't a damn contest but if it was #Shiro is racking up gold medals left and right while everyone else- aside from Allura and Coran- barely snags a bronze.#Sidebar: I love the animation on his hair as he falls.#Why did Studio Mir have to consistently make Shiro look so pretty as he's suffering?#All I want is to fly with queue.

All these drawings of my boy and I realize I haven't really drawn crazed resonant eyes on him before.

So here's him based on the idea that he's guarding the WoL and holding something up while they're wrapping up some other job.

#ffxiv #fan art #digital art #zenos yae galvus #adventurer zenos #guard dog zenos guard dog zenos #magitek unarmed zenos- the absolute menace #I also find it so funny that he accidently inherited soulsight from his great-grandfather #and I do not doubt for a second that he'd learn how to abuse it in a fight #I enjoy drawing him being a feral dork but I always characterize him being a lot calmer as an adventurer

#star wars #andor #mon mothma #cassian andor #this is the second time in a short period of time where mon mothma has not only seen someone killed directly #but also specifically because of her #the first time was someone explicitly threatening her and others #but this one was someone who appeared to be unarmed and was not a direct threat #and I think it brought a lot of things home to her all at once and genevieve o'reilly's expressions all throughout #but particularly in these moments was so visceral and real you could see her truly understand in a way she may not have before #what was happening and what was involved

Adar's Search History #2 - S1!Edition

Part two of Adar's search history, again inspired by this post by @valar-did-me-wrong. It felt wrong to exclude Adar's s1 shenanigans, those were pretty petty as well after all. Enjoy! <3

Bonus:

TROP x search engine meme (screenshots via cap-that.com) (the meme template I used (and modified)) (my other trop memes)
