Beautiful City

Beautiful city, beautiful city dressed in stone and glass,where people sleep on cardboard boxes showered with spit from a dirty look of a man in suit, Beautiful city, beautiful city dressed in stone and glass,where people line up for scraps we know as jobs and promised a morsel of bread and the rest to for taxes, Beautiful city, beautiful city dressed in stone and glass,where potholes are like…

Danny: Hey, I need you to be my boyfriend for a week.

Jason: What.

Danny: My parents are coming over and I've apparently accidentally talked about a partner more than once and only realized when they said they wanted to meet them.

Jason, currently still solidifying his power as a Crime Lord: Excuse me?

Danny: Let me get this out of the way, I do not consider you at all a person of romantical interest and a friend. But I need you to act as my partner for only a week until my parents go on their merry way over to my sister, okay?

Jason: Is there, quite literally, no one else to ask this?

Danny: You're my only friend who lives in Gotham, plus we share the same apartment.

Jason: That's almost sad.

Danny: You in?

Jason: Sure, why not.

Maddie: Danny, honey.

Danny: Yes mom?

Maddie: I don't mean to.... question, who you choose as your parent but. Well, me and your father was just wandering if he was a... [Maddie gestures with her hand] you know, one of those.

Danny, uncomprehendingly staring at his mother's hand: What.

Maddie: Oh dear, how do I bring this up. You know, one of those.

Danny: Mother I need more context.

Jack: If your boyfriend a crime lord!?

Maddie: Jack!

Jack: What? Beating around the bush wasn't helping!

Danny: Say WHAT?

===

Danny: Hey dude, thanks for helping with this even though you didn't need to!

Jason: No problem, I wasn't doing anything too [Crime Lord activities flash through his mind] important.

Danny: Can you believe my parents thought you were a crime lord though? Weird am I right?

Jason:

Danny: Jason. You are scaring me.

Jason: Haha, yea that's weird isn't it?

Danny: Jason.

Jason: Well, I have to leave now to attend to my totally real and totally not crime related job at the ice cream shop.

Danny: [Squints eyes]

Jason: [Internally sweating bullets]

Danny: Suuuuure, bring me back some ice cream though.

Jason: [Thumbs up and leaves]

What's up guys I'm going to be a panelist at RATIOCON 2024 giving an improvised presentation on how silly and weird this guy is

[lurking-loaf]

Have you ever drawn and hidden little doodles of the DCA while at work?

Just scribbled one or two during a moment of free time and tucked them someplace?

There are now 19 of these silly things scattered around a 136 sq. ft (41.45 sq. m) space.

The thing I'm unsure about is whether I gather them up or leave them for future employees to find when the time comes for me to move on from this job.

"don't waste my time, darling. you'd better make for a good fight."

lunette strikewhite, better known as just lunette, is a key character in reassassination. prideful and smug, she fights without gloves, leaving her life and career on the line just for the excitement of it all.

[sendmyresignation]

i think there's really something to be said about how there has never been a record i've encountered where people wanted justification or excuse to refuse to acknowledge the intention and seriousness of the project itself like danger days by both defenders and haters. i find it so incredibly bizarre and strange and partially fascinating.

Veilguard has a sort of "mass effect 2 meets oceans 11" vibe to it that would be fun but it doesn't. quite land.

First, Mass effect 2 structure. To quote shepard, the setup to the game is because "i'm going to need an army. Or a really good team". Its shep vs the an entire planet, but the alliance can't help, the council WONT help, and the guy bankrolling you does espionage shit, not combat. You gather a team of the best of the best at whatever tf they do because there will be no one else in the final battle. This is ALL you've got. You are assigning people jobs bc they are the only people HERE. But when veilguard hits the last gambit, you. Aren't alone. You've got half a dozen factions all itching to go. They ARE an army. So why does rook have to assign their handful of teammates to hold the hands of these other leaders?? Ireline and Strife do this shit all the time, why do they need someone else watching over their shoulders? The wardens are a mini army like evka says, adding someone new now is just going to throw them off. And im leaving EVERYONE downstairs but you still need one of my measly 6 squadmates to take point?? Really?? Rook's gonna DIE isabela, they have to FIST FIGHT A SUN GOD BELA

Second, the Oceans' 11-ness. You put together a team based off specific jobs you need done to handle this problem. Great, cool. But then. No one gets to do them. "Aw shit two magical gods. We need the best mage-assassin ever". Except you don't actually ask lucanis for his expertise or let him make a plan to kill the gods in their lairs, you just. Give him the knife and throw him at the gods. We could have taped the dagger to Manfred and thrown him at them. Rook even kills elgar'nan themself, Lucanis didn't get to do anything!! "We need a fade expert" for what?? Its not like emmrich is figuring out how to put the gods back in their prison or rebuilding the veil or trying to find solas. There are FOUR blighted dragons running around and taash only gets to lead the fight on one of them!

These guys are a great, really bad ass team of very competent people but why'd we hire them as if they'd be leading missions for us on their expertise if we. Weren't gonna do that

Yall, I'm literally so proud of Emma!!!! She's still constantly showing how much progress she's made. We had friends over last much - she's met the mom K & one kiddo (12 years) once before, but we also had dad G & kiddo's bestie along.

From beginning to end, she handled it SO well. She immediately darted up to kiddo to sniff her before I even got back to the couch with her. When K sat next to me, Emma immediately leaned, wanting to sniff, so I took her arm & brought her hand over for Emma to check out. She did the same thing later with G.

They arrived around 6:30, so it was pretty close to dog dinnertime at 7. But after the initial intros, settling, and such, when Addy started moving around, getting excited for food, Emma also hopped right up and started wagging & dancing around some, never mind to the kids that were on the couch right there!

She ate her dinner! Sat next to me in her safe corner, but she steadily ate with few concerns, with the kids on the couch near us & the adults in the kitchen talking.

Multiple times people stood up next to us, walked around, we were eating food around them, we had Ripley up from the basement..... she handled ALL of that pretty in stride. No lunging at Ripley (though I had to keep a close eye & offer support), no barking at anyone, no shaking. She even did silly snuggles with me a couple times.

Most astonishing of all - she took treats from both K's and G's hands, AND...... she actually let K pet her, with one finger, very carefully. She wasn't really happy about it - it was a similar reaction to initial petting from most of us, kind of ".... really? Why. Can you stop please" side eye. But she didn't flinch, jump away, no major reactions, and just went back to snuggling with me after.

They were over for over 5 hours, and she did get a little jumpier at the end - I sat in the Wrong Place at one point & she got a little frantic over that for a moment before I moved. But she was SO brave and handled it all SO fucking well. And of course, she was very ready for bed after they left & practically led Jack to the bedroom.

But even today, she's not had any major increases of stress reactions - immediately tackling me for morning snuggles, played with Spring, even wanted to participate in a training session (though her threshold for that was definitely lower), and handled cat proximity to me & to treats with very limited reactions.

Sorry for the long post, just!!!! Ahhhh!!!!
