TyrannoMax

Real name: Tyrannodus Maximus (translation) Known Aliases: Ty Maxon, the Dinoman of Wisconsin, Shellbreaker Occupation: Champion of Core City, adventurer Identity: Public Legal status: Citizen of Core City. Legal resident of the United States with a criminal record (pardoned), escaped felon in Ultramerica. Species: Dinoid Tyrannosaurus Rex Place of Hatching: Core City Martial Status: Single, betrothed. Known Relatives: TyrannoLucian (father), MegaloDiana (mother), TyrannoMaxine (grandmother, deceased), TyrannoCass (brother), TyrannoJulia (sister), Lady StegoJune (fiance), DeinoSteve (blood brother), Tyler Wrex (second cousin). Known affiliations: Warriors of the Core (member, current), Sevenfold Guardians (member, reserve), Wally Manmoth (ally), Johannes Factotum (ally), WoMinotaur (ally), Dr. Underfang (nemesis), Department of Inhuman Affairs (contractor). Base of operations: Soapstone, Wisconsin, Core City in the Fossilized World. First appearance: Tyrannomax #1 (1975)

From the Coctus Catalog, it's TyrannoMax!

His power/ability box is under the fold.

Physical Strength: TyrannoMax’s strength is exceptional, even for a dinoid. He can lift (press) 10 tons with his arms or tail. Known Powers & Abilities: Like all diniods, TryannoMax’s muscles and bone tissues are more dense and durable than human analogues, resulting in vast strength and resistance to physical damage. His scales can deflect an armor-piercing .50 caliber machine gun fire at 30 feet. TyrannoMax’s bite force is sufficient to bend a 5” diameter titanium rod. His teeth and claws are both sharp and strong enough to rend metal, and he’s able to leap up to sixty feet forward or twenty feet straight up from a standing position. Like all dinoids, TyrannoMax possesses a high degree of psychic affinity, which he can access through his psychic roar. This unique psychic talent allows TyrannoMax to imbue his roars with psionic power. He can attune the pitch of his roar to deliver physical psychokinetic force, stun the minds of those in its path, or induce fear and panic in enemies. Known Weaknesses: Dinoid physiology is only partially warmblooded and is vulnerable to cold. Temperatures below 56 degrees Fahrenheiht reduce TyrannoMax’s speed, strength and concentration in direct proportion to his body temperature. If lowered to the freezing point gradually, he will involuntarily enter a state of hibernation. Rapid freezing is deadly to dinoids.

-

TyrannoMax's art was made in the same fashion as the Wally Manmoth comic, with his body being composited out of several Midjourney attempts and his head coming from Dall-E 3, since MJ's rexes are always too modern for the 70s throwback of Tmax.

From there the colors were removed entirely, and the new lineart touched up and then re-colored using the classic comic colors from the DC 1981 style guide. And then "vintaged" in the process.

Adventures in Librarian-ing

This past Thursday was Iqaluit Day for the Grade 2s. They're learning about Nunavut and Inuit culture, so they "travel" to Iqaluit for the day to do crafts and activities related to Inuit culture. They make little passports and get checked at the "airport" and everything.

Activities include making snow sunglasses, carving "soapstone" (soft plaster disks), playing Inuit games, etc.

During lunch supervision, I was helping a Grade 2 teacher prep for the second part of the day while the kids ate (they returned to Alberta via the magic of teleportation for lunch) and the kids were telling her that "It wasn't really caribou jerky, it was beef jerky! We saw the package!"

Begin, Again

James: 

I have noticed my desk contains a very neat amount of clutter. There may be a lot on it, ranging from little trinkets like a bottle cap and wood carved dog to a soap stone carved heart from a little fair trade shop in Boston, but there’s also so much more to it. It contains the collection of me, in a way. 

I believe the spaces we cultivate showcase a lot more about us than we like to first admit. Hell, my desk shows even more of me than I’d like to admit. I wonder what people would take away from viewing my desk. 

Would they notice the candle and think that I like my space smelling nice, or wonder if I crave its warmth after a long night working alone, the glimmer of a flame sparkling, providing some refuge from the impending darkness? I hope no one is that observant upon meeting someone for the first time, or else I may need to uninstall all these dating apps. 

I suppose I need to actually tell you about how I got the desk and all my little items lining it. I’ll start with the desk, since that seems the most logical place to start. Or maybe not. Let’s start with some of the items. They’re much more fun to talk about (and far less sad) to remember! The little soapstone heart is around the size of a worry stone, and fits in your palm easily. It is lined with small lines dragging across the surface, giving it a brittled and worn appearance. The word “dream” is chiseled into the middle of the heart, the “a” touching the “m” slightly, like a bumbling, nervous child working on his first art project (I really hope that shop was actually fair trade). 

In a small crescent moon plate, half of it speckled in fake gold, the other a beige white, and a thick tanzanite bowl are the collection of crystals I have gathered over the years. I love to collect the pretty and shiny rocks. I don’t actually know if I believe in their supposed powers. Everyone always seems to stand firmly on one side or another. They either must work in all situations, or need to be a complete dud, just a silly obsession the girls choose because of whatever reason boys imagine they do (they’re usually dead wrong about it anyways). For me, they just exist. They just are. They’re pretty, and bring me comfort. Is that too much to ask? Perhaps it is when people need complete and defined answers on everything, and expect to always be right, even when they may not be. 

If I talk about every item on the desk, this will need special features and a director’s cut, and I don’t think even you like hearing me talk this much. Why don’t I tell you about the desk?

I got this desk right before I left college. I had just gotten home for the summer, the last time I’d ever see my family. Or ever see her. The desk was a bit smaller than expected for someone of my stature. But I fell in love with it at first sight. It was a beautiful mahogany wood desk, with strong iron legs. A single, ornate drawer with a beautiful pearl handle to roll it open dotted the middle of the desk. Before my mother even had a chance to let in a snarky remark about the desk being too feminine for me, I signaled for a store employee and purchased it. 

It was expensive, sure, but it was for me. It reminded me of a new chapter. Somewhere new, where it was authentic. It was authentically everything, not just me. It was. It is. For the first time, it existed. In a way, it was just like me in that regard when I packed it on the u haul and sped off to my next adventure, hopefully kicking some dust back on my family. 

It was nothing like my old desk at home, but sometimes I miss that desk at my parent’s house. That desk was a sanctuary, a fortress in a way. It didn’t have walls, giant stone encampments, or drawbridges, but it was still the safest place I knew in that old house. Whenever I needed somewhere to exist, do “homework,” and be away, it was there. 

At 9, it was a refuge from my dad, who insisted that to make a man strong you must first hurt the boy who was simply trying to exist. 

At 14, it was a refuge from my mom, who insisted that to make herself feel good she must emotionally destroy the young son, leaving him even more alone than when he felt alone at school. 

That was the difference, though. This desk wasn’t a refuge. It didn’t have worn out top shelving from me holding the handles tight for security when my dad barged the door open. It didn’t have the small nicks and cuts from me hiding things in it to avoid the wrath of a mother who was desperate to wear me down to an emotional husk of what once existed for no other reason than it was her way of justifying her own spite and anger. The old desk did not have the stained wood from nights of sobbing at it, before trying for a fitful sleep before being woken up again to be screamed at half awake to bewilder and scare me. This desk had the chance to begin anew and exist anew. And I suppose in a way, I get to begin and exist anew. It’s a really exciting prospect. I cannot wait to share it with you one day. 

Yours, 

Daniel

Try Kenyan ugali, a cornmeal porridge, with grilled meats for a hearty and flavorful meal.

The Friendliest People Ever: East Africans are known for their warmth and hospitality. Expect friendly smiles and a helping hand wherever you go, making you feel welcome right from the start. Chat with locals over a cup of chai, and experience the true East African spirit.

Mastering Culinary Excellence: Tips and Tricks for Using Our Soapstone Cookware Collection

Introduction:

Congratulations on choosing our Soapstone Cookware Collection As you embark on your culinary journey with this exceptional ensemble, we're excited to share some expert tips and tricks to help you make the most of your cooking experience. From maximizing flavor to ensuring proper maintenance, let's delve into the art of using soapstone cookware like a pro.

Preparing Your Soapstone Cookware:

Before your first use, it's essential to season your soapstone cookware to enhance its non-stick properties and prevent food from sticking. Simply rub a thin layer of vegetable oil onto the surface of the cookware and heat it in the oven at a low temperature for about an hour. Repeat this process periodically to maintain the seasoning and ensure optimal performance.

Mastering Heat Control:

Soapstone is renowned for its superior heat retention properties, allowing for even cooking and precise temperature control. To achieve the perfect results, preheat your soapstone cookware gradually over low to medium heat before adding ingredients. Avoid sudden temperature changes, as this can cause thermal shock and potentially damage the cookware.

Embracing Low to Medium Heat:

Unlike traditional cookware materials, soapstone performs best with low to medium heat settings. This gentle heat allows for gradual cooking, preserving the natural flavors and nutrients of your ingredients while preventing scorching or burning. Experiment with different heat levels to find the perfect balance for your recipes.

Enhancing Flavor Profiles:

One of the unique benefits of cooking with soapstone is its ability to enhance the flavor profiles of your dishes. The natural minerals present in soapstone interact with acids and oils in your ingredients, imparting a subtle richness and depth to every bite.

Caring for your soapstone cookware is simple and straightforward. After each use, wash the cookware with mild detergent and warm water, using a non-abrasive sponge or cloth to remove any food residue. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the surface of the cookware. Allow the cookware to air dry completely before storing it.

Embracing Imperfections:

Over time, your soapstone cookware may develop natural variations and patina, which add to its charm and character. Embrace these imperfections as a testament to the authenticity and uniqueness of your cookware. With proper care and maintenance, your soapstone cookware will age gracefully and become a cherished heirloom in your kitchen.

Experimenting with Recipes:

Mimble quite likes collecting titles and has accrued quite a number during the course of his adventures. Some were bestowed upon him by others, such as Warrior of Light, some he earned for himself through his actions, such as Archmage, and some were very likely completely invented by Mimble himself, such as Keeper of the Imperial Penguins of Ronka. However the number of titles that he actually uses (or takes seriously) is considerably smaller.

Humble feels very awkward about titles generally and avoids reference to them whenever possible. He is occasionally referred to by well-meaning, or respectful, persons as "Ser Humble" or even "Lord Soapstone", but these are apt to make him very self-conscious and blush profusely. The few titles he does embrace, even if he still rarely refers to them publicly, tend to be the ones he has either earned through friendship or through service to others, such as his rank as Knight of House Fortemps, or his title of Brother of Ash amongst the Amalj'aa tribes.

OC/WoL Question.

Does your OC have any specific titles or honorifics? How do they feel about these? If they don't have any specific titles, how do they respond to being called Lord or Lady (or things such as Sir, Madam or Mistress)?
