Hi Ace, i really like your gifs!

I'm humbly asking if you would be inclined to gif a bit of Law&Order whump? Season 22 Episode 21, where Det. Cosgrove get's shot and collapses?He is kind of badass in that scene and the complete opposite in the hospital scene after that. Almost spilled my tea.

Aw thanks!!

I am HAPPY to gif that for you!! I havent watched a single episode of Law & Order but now that Jeffrey Donovan is in it that might change lol. And I am always happy to gif Jeffrey Donovan whump!! If there's any more from L&W you want giffed I'll happily make it! This whump was so good! And there's a hospital part! And the sling he wears in court! Ahh! And that run on adrenaline until collapsing moment was fast but sooo good. I've made you a few sets. They are in the queue :)

Being Frank 2

This post would be TOO long, so I’m breaking it up into two parts. Frank continues:

   “The next project was to get timber for the floor joists. Where I got most of it for the subfloor and the joists was from the power line that was put through. The trees were cut down and left lay. I didn’t have a truck to haul these logs, but there was a 1952 Chevy two ton with the motor shot. I went to Saccos salvage and got a motor out of a Chevy that was wrecked. It fit in the truck and I used that to haul the logs to the sawmill in Palo Alto. It was twenty dollars a thousand board feet to have them sawed. I worked by myself logging. I drug the logs down and backed the truck into a ditch. I played out cables across the bed and used the tractor to winch the logs up in the bed; that was how I loaded them by myself. I had excess lumber after milling. Mike C. approached me to take down a silo and he put it up at his house. It was forty feet high. I had to take all the excess lumber and build a wooden scaffolding inside the silo. I got paid 500 dollars and I hired two guys who were tree trimmers to help. They were used to working high in the air. It took me two days to master myself to go all the way to the top of it. In those days I was afraid of heights! Everything had to go in those manholes and they’re not big! You put a round of scaffolding around every six feet. That’s how I got more seed money to build the house. I had no deadline and that was key. You can eat an elephant one bite at a time. It was a labor of love. 

   Now I began my hunt for other materials, wherever I could get them. After the trees from the farm, I bought a stone ranch house up on Brown Ave that was going to be demolished for Interstate 68. It was on a concrete slab and all stone exterior. I paid 100 dollars for it. All I wanted was the stone, rafters, paneling, 2x4 studding, and  bathroom fixtures. I sold the windows, doors, and roof to a friend of mine who was building on Oliver Belt Rd for $100. So I got my money back on that deal. I hauled all that stone and material out here on that old truck, loading and unloading by hand. The basement of this house was studded out with the 2x4s and the paneling from that house. The bathtub was square and had two seats in it. The fireplace insert came from that house. I did have an old man, Elsy C., help me haul the stone. The stone for the planter came from Costello Construction, which was located on Valley Street, and I purchased other building material for the meat shop at the same time. The planter here, Max, laid that for me. He was a mason.

    I was deer hunting over at the Gordon farm, now Hemmis, and found that big stone out front to the left. The one downstairs over the fireplace came from Cosgrove’s farm when I was plowing. There are some fossil stones on the patio that came from Wills Mountain. All the stone windowsills and lintels came from a building on Bedford street that was a tombstone company. When they were being demolished, I was able to get all the windowsills. I saved a pile of money on that! The stone slabs approaching the porch came from the parklet next to Times News when they were renovating. I bought all the cement I needed to lay the block and stone for 15 dollars from the B&O railroad damaged freight depot. Their freight agent was Tom R. One corner of the freight car got damp and I removed all the cement and cleaned the car out. When I was using the cement I had to take a window screen and put it over a 50 gallon drum. I had to screen all the cement so there wouldn’t be lumps in it.

   The steel beam needed to run the entire 48 foot length of the house. Moore farm was having a sale where the current AC College is. I bought a two steel beams there that would cover the length and hauled them on the old Chevy. I also bought a stack of pine 2x10s. The beams were over the top of the truck and 5 or 10 feet out in front. I put a flag on the longer piece and hauled it on Sunday morning when there was no traffic. I put the beam on a wagon and brought it around to the back of the house with the tractor. I had pipes on the wall and slid the ends on one at a time. I worked each end over to the center and set it by myself. Next thing was to set the floor joists. I used sidecut boards on a diagonal for the subfloor. All oak! The diagonal boards add to the strength.

   Over to the garage: the garage door came from a house in the Dingle where I was able to salvage many items. The structural steel supporting the roof/patio I set by myself with an old Dodge truck with a telephone pole on it. The header was steel, and came out of the B&O freight station on George Street. The other major steel beams came from the demolished Sears building that stood where the Holiday Inn parking lot now is. The next steel was 30ft long coal mine rails that came from Abe Feldstein’s salvage yard in LaVale. The corrugated metal decking that the concrete was poured on came from a B&O derailment at Swanton. Some of the same corrugated metal was used on the barn roof. 

Interviewer: Well, Frank, did you get anything from West Virginia?

Frank: Hell no, they didn’t have anything to throw away!

   The posts on the patio were originally pipes that I welded plates on the end of. The 6 inch steel beam that goes across the center was also salvage from a building. In later years when the Bowman’s addition flood program began, I salvaged some ornamental aluminum posts from a house behind Hartman’s Store. They weren’t long enough, so I cut the short ones and spliced them into the long ones. The ceiling joists for the patio were the 2x8s from the stone house I tore down on the I68 right-of-way. The patio step stringers were two pieces of timber from the B&O freight station. The two posts that are on the stairway came from the old German Brewery and the handrail, redwood, came from the farmhouse (Old George’s porch). All the rafters and ceiling joists for the house portion were salvaged from the loading dock at the B&O freight. All the plywood on the roof was from a ‘fire sale.’ The rail car overheated and the floor caught fire; the smoke damage to the plywood was severe enough that they couldn’t sell it. I paid 75 cents a sheet. 

   Downstairs there’s one room I didn’t finish. All the ceiling was salvaged drywall that had been damaged by forklifts at Valley Lumber. I had an Amish man swirl the ceiling down there. On the other side downstairs the ceiling was finished by tile that came out of the Woodmen of the World building, along with that maple cover over the planter. It was previously a banister at Woodmen of the World. The bedroom downstairs was finished with mismatched paneling from Valley Lumber. The interior of the closet was lined with leather-type paneling that came out of B&O. 

   My uncle Charles built these cabinets in the kitchen out of birch plywood. He was a finish carpenter. He also trimmed out all the oak trim doorways and baseboard in the house. The front doorway was custom built by Slim (Cecil), neighbors down the road here, and Don, from my sketch. The two birch doors, front and basement, solid core, I bought from the B&O freight claim agent Tom for 15$. The sidelights on the front door I bought from Bernie G. in Frostburg. The outside hanging light was from a yard sale for $5. It had a sidearm on it, but I figured I could adapt it to hang on a chain. The inside light there on the steps came from Westons department store. 

   There were many people who helped me build. We traded labor. Floyd, a carpenter, helped me frame; we traded labor. The stonework was crafted by Hayes Albert Northcraft, a WWI veteran. Elsy was the mudmixer. I was at this time working 7 days a week at the Kelly. Hayes laid all the stonework and this fireplace for $1,400 with no time in it for job completion. I had a dump truck with scaffolding I’d drive around the house and we’d throw the stone in the bed of the truck, then hoist it up on the scaffolding for him to pick out what he wanted. I was to move the scaffolding every day after he was finished. One time I missed it and he was laying the stone under the bay window. He left a divot in the stonework because I didn’t move the heavy timbers for him. That’s a forever reminder that I didn’t do my duty. Hank P., whom I worked with at the Kelly, was a part-time cement finisher. He’s the one who placed the penny in the front stoop. 

  Well, that was a long story. It seemed like I had all the time in the world in those days, and lots of energy. You might ask when I finally finished the house. I don’t think I ever have! In fact, this year (2016) I reclaimed the large plate glass windows from the solarium at Roy Roger’s restaurant when they tore it down and I’m using them to put a sun room on the back of the house. It’ll have a hot tub when I’m finished, and also the washer and dryer. So, you see, it remains a work in progress to this day.

  My note: Frank, like my parents, was born slightly before WWII and lived in this area all his life. Members of the “Silent Generation” are getting fewer these days. I had my doubts about committing to this project, but now I’m very glad I did.

[the-obnoxious-sibling]

i have finally found the time to watch through the entirety of a court of fey and flowers and it has left me clawing the walls

a few thoughts, here and below the cut:

aabria is honestly one of my favorite gms to watch work. like, literally watch, i am 95% podcasts for my actual play media, but the visual elements of her games (esp. her npc facial expressions & acting choices) are so compelling. every damn time wuvvy looked at rue i died.

never not gonna be impressed with how smoothly this team integrated dnd combat & magic & skill checks with the good society framework to make a compelling, weighty, primarily social game. the unique tokens! (the significance to burning them!) the many pvp insight/deception checks over sighs and glances!!

brennan being an eternal gm is a crime, hob is The Most Character

like, picture me taking that character art of hob, printing it out, folding it up, and eating it. love him.

he’s a self-loathing emotionally obtuse plothound who claims to be bad with words but gives The Most Austen-style heart-wrenchingly vulnerable speeches. who else is doing it like him.

(seriously, if you’ve got regency media recs with hob-alike MCs I Want Them)

i am imagining some bonkers child creation magic — like, cabbage patch If You Want One It Will Grow stuff, genetics and gametes need not be involved stuff — that gives hob and rue an enormous passel of kids to love on and Treat Right, including at least one Owl With Bug Wings and two or three Literal Bears.

also picturing atla level confusion when the first one of those bears comes along. “just a bear?” “not a bugbear, not an owlbear, not a bugowlbear. just a bear.” “…this kid is weird.” “yeah, but we’re gonna love them like mad anyway right?” “oh yeah, of course, i’m just saying!”

deeply shocked andhera was able to sit through that detect thoughts at the tailor shop scene without blurting out SOMETHING, given his tendencies towards blurting out everything in other moments.

but like. imagine.

hob: the k stands for knickolas!!

rue: i love him.

andhera: oh shit, for real?! you love him for real??

disastrous. andhera fails to keep his mouth shut, four wounded two dead. (rip buddy, you were a real one)

otoh. now i’m imagining a fun little trivia game at rue’s nearlywed shower with questions like “where did they meet” and “who asked whom” that give them an excuse to retell all of these cute stories about their relationship, and one question is “when did rue first realize they loved hob?”

the answer is supposed to be after they danced all night at the masquerade, because rue thinks it’s fine to lie a little for the Romance of it all, but andhera’s like “oh, i remember that! it was when hob told them what the k in k.p. stands for!”

and he’s very :D satisfied with himself for winning his team a point! not noticing rue and hob’s very complex face journeys as they silently have a Conversation about this.

most shocking moment for me, a person who saw a fair number of acofaf gifs on my dash last fall: chirp marriage & child reveal, no question. the cast around her reacting is also very good, but the twist in itself was honestly so unexpected! and it works fantastically to give the lords of the wing motivation to join the larger plot on Our Heroes’ Side, i thought that was very smartly done.

and last but not least, a fun fact!

I did not realize this until the ap episode where omar confirmed ace andhera, but my first dnd character was basically a mash-up of andhera and rue.

like. they were an ace paladin poorly faking charm and coolness, using a normative appearance (“imagine a combination of chris hemsworth and chris evans”) as a facade a scared, nonnormative creature hid behind— unfortunately my BINX-alike PC friend died early in the campaign, and the plot took priority over character exploration. but still: same hat!

also: me now, looking back at that character: [miranda cosgrove ‘interesting’ meme with the nonbinary flag superimposed]

Something I thought about last night is why does hardly anyone get starstruck by Vil in Night Raven? The only time something like that has ever happened was Cater trying to ask him out because he's hot and for clout. Most of the time everyone is completely indifferent to that, but that doesn't make sense. People, even those who are indifferent to the show Vil acted on or hate him, would have much more of a reaction just because he's a famous person that they grew up with. It would be like Miranda Cosgrove or Ariana Grande went to the same school as someone back when they were still childstars at Nick. It would be something that would stick out a lot more and would be hard to get used to. That aspect could've been integrated into the story a lot better. Then again, the same could be said about Leona to a lesser extent as well.

Part of that might be because we're lead to believe that students like Ruggie, Deuce, or Ace that come from more "common" backgrounds are supposed to be a rarity at NRC. That most of the students who attend come from prestigious to wealthy families. Even so far as Ace and Deuce to instantly assume Epel is rich when he receives a shipment of juice from home.

So it's kind of a "what's another celebrity?" Deal or "what's another prince?"

Another reason might be arrogance/intimidation. Most students might think "well all made it to the same school so they can't br any better then me" and so students only tend to make a big deal if they want something like Azul or Cater. Or they're the other way where they think they have no right to try and talk so someone like that and so they avoid doing it.

A third possible option might be how long they've been at the school. We've seen that while Leona and Vil are both open about their status, the try to not draw attention to it either. Vil because he wants to earn what he gets and Leona due to believe the title is empty since he isn't the heir. So third and second years are already over the idea of going to school with princes and celebrities like them because they are students too, while first years are the ones left to gawk until Vil or Leona eventually does something to shut them down.

I'll admit not wanting to deal with coming up with dialog for NPC's or otherwise is probably the biggest reason but there can be logic too.... I doubt it got used but I can happen. I mean I've never gone to school with a celebrity (or even stood in line for a picture cause anxiety always said no) but I'm sure some people have and would have better insight.

Talk Week: Meet The Character Monday

Introduce us to one of your characters!

This week, I'll be taking @amaralionelli's challenge to share a little more about my main writing project at the moment! It's grown to over 146,000 words, and is split into three (four?) major sections. The stories are meant to be a happy medium between realism and fantasy, and the genre is historical fiction. There are than sixty original characters, but the character that you'll be meeting today is our main character: 'Red' Cosgrove.

As an officer in the RAF during and after the second world war, Red has a great many adventures. He becomes an 'ace' fighter pilot; performs many and colourful odd jobs whilst recuperating from injuries; is shot down twice over enemy territory, the second time becoming a prisoner of war for a year and a half. In the post-war period, he converts to jet fighters, trains to be and then becomes a test-pilot, converts to instructing in Germany, moves to the diplomatic corps, and later adopts a son. This project is basically his life story, and I'm having a massive amount of fun with it.

I celebrated his hundredth birthday in this post a few months ago, but let me add some colour to that wonderful illustration by friend V. Blond hair with the occasional ginger strand, brown eyes, fair but lightly tanned skin, as well as a red cotton bandana which he wears almost constantly, and particularly when flying (it came after the nickname- his first name is Redknapp). He is tall for his age, and very lightly built, particularly after his time as a PoW.

Meet and greet over! If you've any questions, I'd love to chat! :)

"Platinum Golddigger" by Ace Cosgrove http://spoti.fi/2zGOkK0

[thevideogameshutterbug]

Two of my favorite witnesses in this game. Their comic routine was a delight. Did anyone else - say, someone from the 80′s or 90′s, who might’ve watched the occasional British cartoon - immediately get reminded of Victor and Hugo (or their original versions from Duckula)? Their entire aesthetic and bit reminded me so heavily of those characters that I’m seriously wondering whether the translator picked up on the similarity and skewed their dialogued in that direction somewhat. Either way, that direction is intensely fun, and they make even better “comically inept crooks” characters than the Skulkins did in the previous game. I suppose I should do some photo explorations of The Great Ace Attorney. Even given that it’s a compilation (and that it was evidently designed as a single game before being split up), Great Ace Attorney 2 is panning out to be significantly better than GAA 1. Not that the first one is bad, exactly, but its not paced well and its cases aren’t as engaging to play as a result, whereas the second game has more of a handle on how the mysteries and stories will progress. Both games, however, have some of the best characters in the series imo - either because they’re so endearing, so heartwarming, or just so fun as these two are.

PROtip for Northwesterners from twitter

PSA: if you are in the Pacific Northwest and either do not have air conditioning or have inadequate air conditioning, cover your windows with aluminum foil, shiny side out. cardboard on the inside if you can.

it looks like shit but it does keep the temperature lower and it's a super cheap solution. I did this a lot when I didn't have power in the summer in memphis.

Survivor of 25 Texas summers here to say that this really does work better than you expect. Do it on the west windows, and/or windows that face a large flat surface like water or pavement. Even if you have good AC, this will ease the load on your unit and on the power grid.Quote TweetKat Cosgrove

Redneck air conditioners work also for small spaces.  5 gallon bucket with lid 3/4 full of ice.  Get a desk fan, cut a hole in the lid as big as fan, duct tape fan to lid.  Drill hole in side, duct tape dryer hose or ducting hose over hole.  Point air where you want

When ice melts, open lid.   Empty ice cube trays into sink or bag. Fill trays with water from bucket.  Refill bucket with ice.  Close lid.  Whole setup maybe costs $20-30 to make.  Will easily cool room.  Few cents an hour to run, especially if you recycle water.

If you put it on the outside, it avoids trapping heat behind the glass. I've also used the foil/foam sheets for behind radiators to good effect, not sure if they're more a UK thing though. Anything to shade the window.

I use the pink insulating foam they build houses with and it holds up a little longer than cardboard, if that helps

==========================

I’ve never had to do this, tho it seldom gets 115℉ down here
