very evil of storage units to be almost entirely made of Metal, inside and out. id like to have a talk with whoever made that building decision. a friendly talk. ignore the barbed wire baseball bat its unrelated
the buddy system is a powerful thing blessed be this team's love and friendship for one another even on a day as charged as this one aka all hail the united front ☝️
lombo trying to get in a word edgewise to stenny (a sentiment that he'll wait for him presumably) but the reporter's already talking so he just tries his best to get stennys attention to his own utter detriment because stennys too focused
bless lombo trying to be sweet but his efforts arent acknowledged because said person its supposed to be acknowledged by is busy doing his job lmaoooo
lombo hearing his name "yeah" yep thats the one word i understand yup that checks carry on i need everyone to know that THATS the one i got
even stenny cant help but chuckle a bit. are you charmed by his airheadness? are you? are youuuu??? is he endearing??? does his antics amuse you?????
the reporter saying "very good" like hes talking to a kid I WANT TO CRYYYYYY we have to praise efforts to be engaged in pressers like yeah you know what gold star for that one bonus points if you make everyone erupt into giggles
as you can see hes not sure what hes doing here except be eyecandy to stennys eyecandy but hes trying his best and maybe hes a little nervous but its the thought that counts
"thank you ryan for setting up the question appreciate it!" "no problem! great question 😃👍" said with tonality of a man who absolutely does not know what was said other than his name. oh bless his heart hes trying <3
STENNY DO YOU THINK HES FUNNY DOES HE AMUSE YOU GREATLY DO LIKE HIS SILLYISMS
if i had nickle for everytime a baddy, who usually has a stoic approach to media scrums, get a smile milked out of them by their shorter sillier companier id have two nickles. which isnt a lot. but its weird that its happened twice. unfortunately its a pattern this team is wrought with that narrative oh my god.
Has anyone ever felt sad that their WOY OC isn't actually canon, but think to yourself that they would've had the chance to be one by the show producer at one point but like- you beat them to it and now you think you might've screwed them over cause they would've been real in like 6 years later?
I don't have many characters in Granblue that work well together yet because I just started playing so I've just been kinda smashing SSR dudes together into a party and seeing how it works out and I made a REALLY fun one that's like a masochistic glass cannon
Gran - He's kinda my ??? here in this build because there are SO MANY classes to make him that I'm still playing around with them all. But for this party I've got him as Weapon Master for that nice double attack buff, attack damage buff, and HP boost. He's got a dark axe equipped.
Lucio (grand) - His shield/heal ability is sooooo important to this build. Everyone in the party gets 2000 shield and recovers some HP each turn. Some multi attack boosts here too.
Lich (grand) - Oh my god Lich is so much fun lmao. This party's built around her insane mechanic. EVERYONE GETS POISON YIPPEE!!! No healing, but poison and other DOT effects heal the party for the damage they do instead. Somehow Lucio's healing works despite this..? Because the whole team is covered in stink gas, the enemy takes a huge amount of bonus damage at the end of the turn. Juicy.
Fiorito (holiday) - She melts her own face off and does like 6 attacks in one turn it's nuts. She's made out of tissue paper though, so if anything hits her before the healing brings her HP back up she dies lol
This party is super jank and not optimized at all, but I'm having a blast joining raids with it, exploding half my own HP, dropping an evil ghost-themed nuclear bomb, and then crumbling into dust the second anything sneezes in my direction
🚨Iran's Navy took back its stolen oil tanker from the US.
Resistance News Network:
At 3:30 GMT, a security incident was reported in the Gulf of Oman. In a special operation, the Iranian Navy boarded the St. Nikolas ship, previously named the Suez Rajan, as it headed from Iraq to Turkey with 145,000 tons of crude oil.
Last October, the US claimed that the Suez Rajan violated its sanctions by loading Iranian oil. To resolve the case, the ship was illegally seized by the US in April 2023, forfeited along with the Iranian oil loaded in it, to the US Department of Justice before it was renamed.
In August, at the call of US senators, the US Navy unloaded stolen oil from an Iranian ship without considering the consequences.
It is far from the first time that the US has stolen oil, either from ships loading Iranian oil, or through its continuous theft of 80% of Syria's daily output.
This morning, the St. Nikolas was seized and transfered back to Iranian ports in light of escalating regional tensions, especially on the water.
Let me get this straight... The US Navy is conducting continuous operations of FUCKING PIRACY without anyone batting an eye to steal oil?
i'm trying to make my worldbuilding make sense while i write the next chapter of ex nihilo and oh boy, it's not easy, my outline is so disorganised and i forgot about some stuff i included in the early chapters, it's terrible
but i'm having fun! so here we go, the clarifications on terms i've been using in my fic:
House: Magical family recognised by the government. In Magical Britain - also called Albion by the most old-fashioned-, it is generally used for Houses with a title or connexion to the Lordly Council and later the Wizengamot.
Clan: Magical community with common ancestry that is recognised by its government. The clan’s head acts like a Head of House.
Coven: Old magical practice dated from the times before the construction of the first magical schools and institutes, consisting of wixen of the same religions and practices gathering to perform magic, socialise and educate their youngest members. While it is still common to form covens in some places, most magical communities only form temporary covens to perform rituals.
Ancient House/Clan: House/Clan whose lineage can be traced more than forty generations. They were given seats on the Lordly Council after the extinction of several Noble Houses and Clans during the reign of William the Conqueror to compensate for the induction of French Houses into the Council and maintain a native majority
Noble House/Clan: In Magical Britain, it designates a House or Clan that was granted a seat on the Lordly Council of Albion. It tends to refer to similar positions of power in other magical communities.
Ancient and Noble House/Clan: In Magical Britain, it refers to a House old enough to have sworn allegiance and been titled by the Pendragon dynasty before its extinction in the sixth century. Exceptions are noted for Houses like the Malfoys, Rosiers, Sinclairs and Lestranges who came from France with their titles and Houses that merged with Ancient and Noble British Houses but kept their names like Houses Nott and Potter.
Lordly Council of Albion: Founded after the deaths of Arthur and Mordred Pendragon (marking the end of the last Magical Dynasty of Albion in the 6th century) out of the survivors of the Knights of the Round Table, it was the sole mode of magical government on the Isle until its dissolution in the 18th Century following the civil war started in opposition of the Dark Lord Ramsey Lestrange. It was repurposed into the Wizengamot and the position of Minister of Magic was created to work alongside it.
