Just recently saw your human Archimedes fellow and he’s such a goofy goober I love it. Do you think the mercs ever taught him any of the dance taunts / he picked up and mannerisms from the mercs?

Can’t be associated with the mercs if you can’t do the kazotsky kick.

rraahahhhH!!!!!! thank you!!! Archie is very much a goober fgysgfe and they most likely would!! at least it seems logical he's learn/see them at one point or another and he definetly picked up the merc's mannerisms (they're mostly verbal mannerisms, such as words in other languages/ sayings (Spy's French cursing, Dell's "darns!" and "dag nubbits!" and even Medic's nervous "aheh"s) he's deffinetly picked up some of Sniper's knife skills and accents from all around the base, seriously he can be talking and you would not be able to tell which accent is the primary one, each word is accented diffferently (Dialectologists hate him!!! see how!!!) he probably (once he's more grown up) also picks up a lot of self soothing behaviours on hs own like playing with his hair (slicking it back, twirling it ect.) or his fethers

anyways here are a few taunts that i liked (including the new Medic one (with his new cosmetic aswell)) no kazotsky kick tho, i found it's too hard for me to draw, sorry

I know the notion of "cozy horror" has caused a kerfuffle recently with people discoursing about what it means about the decline of societal hoohah in the whatnow but be that as it may.

But something that was inspired by my own family that I think would be a great basis for a story.

Chaotic family. Neurodiverse parents, neurodiverse kids. Fake it til you make it except you can't really fake it and you never really make it, but you're all trying and there's love and forgiveness and patience.

Mom comes across sinuous white mass, writhing and groaning, on the floor of the hallway.

"Oh will you cut that out, it's past bed time. You know you wanna have a good time at the movies tomorrow!" Mom says in fond exasperation as she steps over the mass to go down the stairs to do dishes.

The ghost she just steps over like Hɱɱ. ყҽʂ ιɳ ϝαƈƚ I ԃσ ɯαɳƚ ƚσ ԋαʋҽ α ɠσσԃ ƚιɱҽ αƚ ƚԋҽ ɱσʋιҽʂ ƚσɱσɾɾσɯ.

That's how the family gets an extra child.

hey! soooo today was a very unproductive day, which means that nadia and elena's intro posts will be up tomorrow alongside the side characters. i'll still try to get nadia's up today since the day isn't over yet, but the chances of that happening are very slim. i'm probably going to do more tags after i finish cooking dinner because i missed doing them :)

I remember running to my 6th grade Reading Class (it was mandatory and my reading level was several grades above my peers but I enjoyed reading so I wasn’t complaining) cause I was late and it was in the portable classes on the other side of campus and in my rush into the class the portable door caught onto my bag so as it closed it slammed my entire body against the side of the portable with a loud metal THWACK. All things considered it didn’t really hurt because my bag got brunt of it but it was impressive cause I’m a big guy and was big even at 11 years old (relatively, of course) and everyone stared at me and the teacher about had a heart attack cause when it first happened I was so shocked/mortified I had gone limp and she thought she just watched a student DIE.

It was fine. I was fine. Oh right this was a question about portable classrooms. Yeah I dealt with them most of my school career because I always went to the Biggest School in the County™️. Fun times.

I’m curious about something to see how universal one of my school experiences was

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

tbh i think the funniest phenomena that's been happening in the last couple years is "youtuber, having gone too deep into the research hole, has been made an investigative journalist against their will"

i come from the universe where everything is the same except disney heroines get like an ounce of their fathers' obviously dominant genes and their clothes are like 80% more historically accurate. it's beautiful here.

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

WAIT

I JUST REMEMBERED HEARING AN ELON MUSK QUOTE WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE BELIEVES CHESS IS "TOO SIMPLE" OR WHATEVER AND HE SAID HIS FAVORITE GAME WAS A GAME CALLED "POLYTOPIA"

I JUST REMEMBERED THAT IVE PLAYED POLYTOPIA

It being Elon's favorite game (or at least one so important to him that his biographer dedicates a lot of time to it) is.....really really funny.

Basically, imagine Civilization, but as a mobile game. So like if Civilization Revolution was even more dumbed down (that's a Civilization insult. That's devastating. It's devastated right now). For what it's worth, it's not a bad game. On the contrary, from what I could tell in the little bit of time I played it, it's a perfectly competent game with good design. But it's not a deep game by any means. I played through it once, won easily on my first go, then saw that the other playable characters had barely any differences between them.

Like, not to imply you can judge a book by its cover, but here's what it looks like

I came across an article by Dave Karpf discussing this exact thing, and I think it describes it wonderfully
