#The Original Me Ann

[ratgrinders]

Ok here's an updated timeline of the Rat Grinders based on the new info we got this episode:

Freshman Year

On the first day of classes Kipperlily and the others meet and form their adventuring party. Kipperlily comes up with the name the High Five Heroes.

Kipperlily excels academically, but the High Five Heroes only go on easier adventures, presumably to ensure they will succeed rather than fail at something challenging.

Ruben is primarily an acoustic/soft rock musician.

Kipperlily begins to have childish rage and resentment towards Riz and the other Bad Kids, which start out petty but gradually grow in intensity over the next couple years.

Sophomore Year

An increase in hostility, one of the first meetings Kipperlily has this year is being jealous that Riz's dad was killed by Kalvaxus, that if a person has suffered immense magical hardship it is an unfair advantage in adventuring.

Kipperlily tries to find evidence of conspiracy with her parents and is enraged that they are boring.

A week after spring break the High Five Heroes go on their first quest to the mountains of chaos, chaperoned by Jace Stardiamond.

After this, the High Five Heroes seem to undergo a shift where their rage is amplified. Kipperlily's counselor files become much more venomous towards the Bad Kids, Ruben shifts to emo music, etc.

At some point after this Ivy and Oisin propose changing the name to the Rat Grinders. Kipperlily opposes this and Lucy is on her side, but Ruben votes against her because it makes her upset and Mary Ann also votes against her but doesn't explain her reasoning.

A piece of paperwork is submitted for Lucy to change her god, but another piece of paperwork is filed afterwards rescinding that application, presumably by Lucy herself changing her mind.

Towards the end of the year, after grades are finalized but before classes are over thus avoiding the pass/fail penalty, Lucy dies in the far haven woods near Aguefort. Presumably, she could have been resurrected in service of this unnamed rage god, but chose not to. She "stuck to her guns".

Kipperlily's rage towards the Bad Kids has transitioned from childish to venomous, she "hates them".

Junior Year

At some point between the end of Sophomore year and the beginning of Junior year, the Rat Grinders specifically request Buddy Dawn join their party as a cleric.

At 8:01 am, the first day of classes, Kipperlily goes to Ashgrove to dig up the rogue teacher's grave, thus forcing her to reveal herself and granting Kipperlily a pass for all her rogue classes for the year. Presumably she was aware of the rogue teacher's grave beforehand (information only available in Arthur Aguefort's office) but waited until the start of Junior year so she could pass all her classes for the year.

Kipperlily announces her bid to run for student council president, with a platform based on equity, equanimity, and fairness.

Kipperlily asks Jawbone about the creation of Yes! and the events of prompocalypse

Her counselor notes become extremely enraged, with her straight up wanting to kill Kristin and being angry that she can't get to her thanks to Fig's protection.

Oisin, Ivy, and Buddy are seen at Fabian's house party during the first week of classes. Kipperlily is not seen but is possibly there invisible. The Bad Kids are asked to do drugs but decline. That same night, mephits steal part of a cloud rider engine kept in Seacaster Manor.

At the school assembly the following day Principal Grix reveals he was notified of students doing drugs off campus, meaning its possible the Rat Grinders tipped him off in an attempt to get the Bad Kids in trouble.

Ruben performs presumably some kind of ritual at the Frosty Fair Folk festival, with the other Rat Grinders conspicuously absent. Simultaneously, Yolanda Badgood falls dead in the same place where Lucy Frostblade died, after Yolanda had been made aware of Lucy's change in god and was investigating it. Yolanda also refuses to be resurrected in service of the rage god.

The Rat Grinders are seen at the assembly addressing Yolanda's death and how all clerics would be moved to pass/fail. Most look bored, Mary Ann isn't paying attention, and Buddy is unconcerned.

Kipperlily and Oisin get caught trying to sabotage the Bad Kids' Last Stand exam, and Kipperlily kills Buddy. Ten minutes after the Bad Kids plane shift away, Buddy is revived by an unknown figure and he pledges his allegiance to the rage god.

Now the Rat Grinders are scheduled for another trip to the Mountains of Chaos and are on complete lockdown, hiding all of them from Adaine's divination magic.

I have amassed enough Black Sails crack edit ideas to make a compilation. Return again in 1 year and I may have enough to make another. 😂

Thinking about how Mary Ann would never have gotten mad at Gorgug for not prioritizing saying goodbye to her over saving his kidnapped friends

i love that lestat wakes up in a completely unfamiliar place after having his blood sucked by a vampire and his first thoughts are "i want a cold drinky drink" and "i want a fucking bowl of soup" and only after that is he like "oh yeah that vampire who bit and kidnapped me last night" and remembers to be scared. deeply relatable

alright guys so who’s making quokki pets a thing let’s get on it

[miayakooko]

guys.. I just had an episode idea | ⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️

So, we all know Abbott is a comedy, but it has its serious moments here and there. Growing up I had attachments to teachers because I didn’t have the best relationship with my mom, and knowing this I’d seek affection to teachers or women who gave me the attention and affection I wanted from my mom.

With that being said, I think they should do an episode about teacher attachments. Having a student in the 8th grade (yes, we remember Abbott goes up to 8th grade) that student has had an attachment to Melissa since we canonically know that students go and talk to Melissa during their break. That student realizes it’s their last year at Abbott before they go to High School and they are progressively seen as clingy to Mel throughout the season. But in one of the last episodes, since last episodes are typically the end of the school years, Melissa gets an explanation to why that student is so clingy. And it’s because Melissa has been a mother figure to that student for all the years that they’ve been at Abbott.

I think this would be sweet because you rarely see teacher attachments being explained in media.

And to be fair, guys I can pass as an 8th grader. Sign me up!

We all get the betrayal part of the Judas kiss parallel, right? But to me the most insane part of that parallel is that both Jesus and Louis accepted it. “He forgave me for it”. Louis stayed with Armand for 77 years. The resignation, the passivity, the inevitability. The “Jesus replied, "Friend, do what you came for” of it all. Insane, it makes me cry scream throw up

Inktober Day 10 - 12

I have failed the previous 3 days and I'm a bit late with posting the rest buuut- we keep going! Needed to boost the morale though so for this batch you get my own OCs-!

I think I've already posted them but they all got a bit of a redesign so that's also a way to finally show them off again. (From top to bottom: Father Coprinus - a Shaggy Inkcap priest, Aidivni - a demon of envy, Fiore - my Flower Kid from Smile For Me :>)

Explanations under the cut for those interested as always-

Queen Anne's Lace "Sanctuary" The fronds of this flower offer protection for the smallest animals, it's also called "bird's nest" for that reason. Coprinus is a priest but most importantly a protector against demons and other malignant spirits, so I thought he'd fit the flower quite well.

Rue "Regret" More than for expressing regret, this flower was often sent as a threat as in "you'll regret what you've done". Symbolically, the piece represents the moment Aidivni fell. They stare at their reflection in remembrance of what they can now only envy.

Buttercup "Radiant with Charm" Its name comes from a children game in which a child puts a buttercup up to their chin to see if the yellow will reflect on their skin. With such a cute origin story, I decided to draw Fiore for it! Especially because of their face vitiligo that forms a lil' flower on their mouth.
