What if when Michael got Distortioned he/they/it/(?) had just kept showing up to work? Imagine Gertrude comes into the archives and finds a bunch of paperwork filled out in yellow highlighter and folded into impossible shapes, and then Michael-Distortion just walks into the room door-style and sits down at his work computer so it can email Gertrude a phishing scam.

Silly references of characters from favorite game

Wait WHAT

[ivan-fyodorovich-k]

I only knew four other people who had read or seen Scott Pilgrim and consequently I missed that apparently this film--featuring a thoroughly whatever dude ending up with, let's be honest with ourselves, a bog standard "scene" girl--somehow has caused unimaginable human suffering

he had a dream about springtrap

[send-me-a-puffalope]

ever since i saw this concept i was unable to stop giggling about it so here. low effort shitpost time

HELPAHSDOISJDOJ this is exactly what I imagine, this is THE funniest part of transing any character.

i think that by the time that sarah and marjolein got to the playhouse, before that all the other posties were very used to finding raven and lloyd just fiercely making out in random locations of the playhouse. this was their normal. they just left. marjolein sees this for the first time and is like 'oh god sorry sorry i gotta go' and dips. sarah sees this and goes 'wait.' and is like. 'putting this into the back of my mind for later'

"You Gotta Either Be Blind or Stupid to not See Me" 😡

For 2025 can we get more of this energy from other drivers when Max shoves them off the track? More whimsy and less whinging.

Wanted to show off the texture/details of these two lovely Drakengard dragon companions. 🐉 💕

Which was sadly lost in the printed versions. But was really fun to draw! :’)

I also wanted to get pop out fancy with Angelus’ scales, because I drew Mikhail first, and made his flat. So I wanted that visually appealing variance.

i do find it funny how in trying to make ein's writing less weird they made zack a less interesting character

Song Review(s): Widespread Panic - “Walk On” and “Ain’t Life Grand” (Live, June 24, 2023)

Though it isn’t credited, an instrumental version of “(Turn on Your) Lovelight” is unmistakably tucked inside Widespread Panic’s just-released, in-concert version of “Walk On.”

The Neil Young cover - like the original “Ain’t Life Grand” issued around the same time - is culled from the group’s June 24, 2023, Red Rocks gig and shows two sides of the veteran band.

The former finds the Panics burrowing into a deep groove and giving Young the Widespread treatment. They almost imperceptibly pick up the tempo and transition to the aforementioned “Lovelight,” which remains for a few minutes before the band shifts back down to finish “Walk On.”

This is how a jamband should do it.

“Ain’t Life Grand” is the Commander Cody-influenced, early iteration of the band. And while it’s played with gusto, John Bell’s falsetto vocals are jarring and reveals a song lacking for the absence of Michael Houser’s vocals, even as Jimmy Herring steps up with welcome axe swinging.

As always, the Panics sound nothing but Widespread.

Grade card: Widespread Panic - “Walk On” and “Ain’t Life Grand” (Live - 6/24/23) - A-/B-

4, 7 and 10 for the comfort character ask: for Rose from Legend of Dragoon

oooh, Rose is a fun character

4. what about their personality i like I loved watching Rose go from this "mysterious, cold, closed-off" warrior to slowly becoming more trusting and open as the story progressed. Like, all the stuff she does in the world's history aside, seeing her regain that sense of "humanity" before the story's ending was nice, and I think works the best for her character arc. But also makes me wish we got a prequel bc it's suggested that Rose was this warm and kindhearted woman, who was deeply in love and full of hope before the Dragon Campaign, and then had to kill off that part of herself to bind herself to her destiny. She's a fairly complex character, and her entire arc is really interesting.

7. the moment of theirs that made me the happiest The scene at the end of Chapter Two, where she's alone in the guest room of Fletz Castle and Rose laughs to herself, and then realizes that she laughed. Like, it's small, but it's the first indication that she's begun to break away from the fate she's been tied to.

10. my favorite moment with them in canon Hmm...probably her conversation with Dart in Ulara, which is also when the flashback cutscene to her duel with Dart occurred, because it's such an interesting and pivotal point in both her and Dart's character arcs, as well as their story. Like, on one hand we have Dart and his recurring theme of choosing not to claim vengeance despite his motivations throughout the story being vengeance (against both the Black Monster and Lloyd), and how he chooses not to kill Rose because "the Black Monster is already dead," instead accepting her as she is, because, unforgivable as her actions are, he also understands why she chose them. And given that the world is very close to ending, Dart knows that now, more than ever, they need to work together as a team. And for Rose, it's this moment where she's able to truly begin to separate herself from her fate as the Black Monster, to move on from being the crux of the world, and return to just being Rose. And while she can't forgive herself really, she's at least able to face and move towards the future instead of remaining stagnate, as she had been. It's just...not the type of story arc I see explored a lot, and it's messy, but at the same time it was nice to see that for all that occurred, Rose was still given the chance to return to moving forward, to return to living.
