Made this centaur cleric and designed some armor for him. I would love to see your take on armor for centaurs. I use so many of your references and I'm so happy every time I see your posts!

just a LITTLE past the ask, but I happen to be playing dress-up with my centaurs so I snuck in a couple armour options to think about as a preview :)

I didn't realize it until rewatching season one and two but Alex improves his marksmanship off screen. In season one he doesn't know how to hit a moving target, in season two he does it with ease, and in season three he is very well practiced and a good shot. I wonder how he practiced?

Latest Eagle Times explores Infinite Possibilities of the Universe, and small corners of the classic comic, too

A quick look at the latest edition of Eagle Times, the magazine of The Eagle Society, available now

Reflecting its main purpose as the magazine of The Eagle Society, the latest issue of Eagle Times, available now, is dominated by reports from a recent gathering of membership in York. However, there’s plenty for the more casual fan of the Dan Dare-led comic to enjoy about this edition, if you weren’t part of that get together, and the reports themselves may encourage you to get to their next…

Okkk I know in the au I previously posted abt yassen forgives John, but then John sorta struggles to forgive himself and that's a thing. What if, alternatively, in a sadder au, Yassen and John meet again but.....

John, in a mission situation after being presumed dead, holding a gun up to a person he doesn't recognise but knows is extremely dangerous: Hands behind your head and turn around

Yassen, who could never forget the voice of his mentor:... John?

John, surprised to know yassen became such a cold, cruel assasin: what on earth happened to you? Why have you become this?

Yassen, who angry and hurt, because the one person after years of looking for someone to give half a damn a out him betrayed him then proceeded to die, but turns out he's been lied to *again* and John actually left him, like everyone else. Who is furious that John manipulated him, left him, then had the nerve to ask *why* he is like this. Who blames John, as much as misha dementyev, Julia Rothman, sharkovsky, etc. for who he became, became yassen thought John gave a singular damn about him, but then realised he was just a part of a mission:

YOU MADE ME INTO THIS!

Yassen, tired of everyone's bs, disarming John and placing the gun against John's head: Now deal with the monster you created

John is too shook and saddened by this to even say anything

Yassen, who is still freaking irate, and wants John to do *something*

Beg for mercy

Fight back

Something- he's tired of not having closure from John, not knowing whether he was a obstacle to overcome, or a genuine friend. But he knows [thinks he knows] that he was never really close with John. But he wants that aknowledged first.

Yassen, who is finally letting go, and letting his anger consume him, not caring to get information for the mission, not caring about *anything*, after being tied to his work for years, and is breaking after ignoring the hurt he felt from constantly being used, who is whacking John with the gun, prompting a response

Then there's John, who is still like a statue, internally screaming at himself, tearing himself apart, because it was his fault [to him], because he failed to save yassen from the dangers of Scorpia, and from himself, because he realised that he sat idly by, while yassen was struggling, and that he was about as kind as Dr three,

John who is silent while tears slowly slide down his face, knowing *he* is the villain in this is situation, and there is nothing he can do about it. Even though he really did care for yassen. Even though he still loves his student, like his own kid.

He realises he hurt yassen so, so much, and he hates himself for it. Because if anyone, *ever* harmed yassen, he'd hunt them to the end of time, but he's the reason of his pain. He failed

He failed for his mission to succeed

And he'll accept whatever punishment yassen gives him, without fighting back.

But he also wants to comfort yassen and help him, he wants to protect him again

And Yassen wants John to feel the pain inflicted on him, wants to break him like he was broken

but yassen wants John to do something, after all, he looked up to his mentor since he always had a plan.

They're both internally struggling and it's so freaking sad

With Stanley Jordan Co-piloting, Phil Lesh & Friends Find the Promise of Darkstarathon

Everyone except Grahame Lesh was seated when Darkstarathon episode 7 began its journey across the cosmos.

And of course drummer John Molo, keyboardist Jason Crosby and pedal-steel guitarist Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz were. And being 84, Phil Lesh can do whatever the fuck he wants.

Which brings us to Stanley Jordan, whose unconventional playing style lent a bit of jazz to the proceedings as Lebowitz, Crosby, Molo and Lesh the elder kept things misty and primordial while Lesh the younger occasionally quoted the titular song.

Before long, even he was seated on his amp as this Darkstarathon lived up to the series’ initial promise of a never-ending “Darkstar.” Episode No. 7 is 27 minutes of instrumental music in which the spirit of adventurism ruled and in-the-moment composition and improv was all that mattered.

A hint of “West L.A. Fadeaway” bubbled to the surface around the 13-minute mark before elements of “Slipknot!” emerged over Molo’s marching fills.

As this dissolved, Lebowitz switched to acoustic and the band gurgled back down to formlessness as young Lesh strummed major chords and the sextet remained on the fly.

“Cassidy?”

No.

“Scarlet Begonias?”

No.

“I Know You Rider?”

Yes. But wordless with the guitarists lightly tracing the vocal lines.

Minute 23: “Darkstar” re-re-emerges; Grahame Lesh, Lebowitz and Jordan “singing” with their respective six-strings.

Shall we go?

Indeed.

I've been reading an obscene amount of Top Gun Maverick fan fiction and it's the only thing my brain can currently focus on.
