Lore unfriendly group shot and some battlemechs ready rumble in the Solaris games.

So apparently the eight million dollar stretch goals for the Battletech: Mercenaries Kickstarter is a bunch of Somerset Strikers stuff. I apologize if I’m being a bit of a corporate shill/whore here but I really hope we hit that bar.

supernatural s7e18 party on, garth (w. adam glass)

their "comedy" music playing in the recap, my loathed. think i'm toasted enough to not be bothered by cringey humor. hopefully. said it in the first episode garth was in, i don't understand why they decided to make him incompetent at hunting. especially when pretty much whenever we meet hunters, they die.

this kids in the woods setup is very teen wolf. isn't it funny how all these jobs keep involving siblings!!!

DEAN By the way, how is your custard? SAM It's all right. It's getting better. Just wish it wasn't like the damn tape from "The Ring." I mean, I feel like I'm okay 'cause I passed on the crazy. DEAN No, you didn't. You heard what Cas said. DEAN’s phone rings. SAM Let's – let's not. You know what?

i don't remember what cas said that's relevant to this conversation 🥴 that he was sorry he broke sam's wall? no, that doesn't make sense. still dunno

MARIE He's actually a really nice guy. It's just not easy being the axman. DEAN So true.

(a small chain in the twin cities and my brain went *squirrel* lol)

i truly don't know what joke they were trying to make there. that dean thinks he's in charge?

MARIE He blamed himself when Dale died, and now this. DEAN Why did he blame himself? MARIE Well, Dale was sensitive. But what do you do – watch them 24/7? You can't blame Dale's friends.

"sensitive". if he wasn't sensitive, he wouldn't have gotten eaten by that bear/ghost

welp guess we know why sam mentioned The Ring earlier. makeup department did her dirty, i laughed out loud. it's like party city The Ring costume and makeup

same dean, same.

GARTH As in, let's hope for their sake our spirito ain't made it out of the woods. All right. Let's go check it. SAM Uh, you two go. I'm gonna visit the widow.

nice fake smile, very sibling being an asshole vibes

GARTH Trust me. My special lady has twins. [Goes into the living room] Mr. McAnn? DEAN "Special lady?”

i mean, it's a joke because he's not tv handsome, right. what about hunters can't have relationships? s/hunters/winchesters/

ah so they are gonna let garth be competent occasionally, like suggesting bobby is stuck to the flask.

good little mockup here, very detailed

SAM I mean, can you even get drunk anymore? It's kind of like, uh, drinking a vitamin for you, right? DEAN Shut up.

please i'm begging you to stop reusing the template for this thing that has Pass Word. and a login, period!! haha. but also i wonder what compels them to keep changing the desktop background. so mysterious

here for a new mundane activity they don't ever show, refilling the flask. of course, it's a plot-relevant flask so.

SAM I've already tried contacting Bobby. [DEAN looks surprised.] When that beer disappeared, I pulled out a talking board. DEAN Without me? SAM You know, I figured, why drag you in... when it's something I could just put to bed myself.

oh honey

DEAN (on phone) There's another kid. Don't think – move.

i suppose this is an interesting way to avoid a bunch of angsting over bobby directly, but still showing how the loss affected them. dean thinks he's seeing proof of his ghost, sam is brushing him off.

so i've been bracing myself on every goofyish episode, expecting something like the purple nurple episode (s2e15 apparently) which nearly killed me. but fortunately nothing has reached that level.

It's also worth of note when talking about the technological regression that the hatchetman is not that good at doing it's job, and it would take it's bigger cousin (the axman) and it's small but deadlier brother (the nightsky) to firmly set the niche of these kind of mechs.

I love learning about random Battletech stuff, like finding out that (not counting clan stuff) that this was the first new mech made in like...180 years and its just got a fuckin axe and jump jets. Though what do you expect after like 3 MASSIVE wars where tossing nukes around like mardi gras beads was common.

[thesweathouse]

[laguzmage]

Like 80% of the time I play Battletech it ends up being a slugfest where both sides walk away with 1-2 mechs, can you believe my Loki danced in close range with an Axman and got shot at by a Warhawk C and didnt immediately explode

The Axman of New Orleans

This unsolved mystery and Louisiana legend was depicted in American Horror Story, The Coven, as the warped psycho killer who was both charming and dangerous, musically talented and demented.  But there is So Much More to his story and this unsolved mystery.  Dive into this video with me and let's get all the facts.

Tom Barnaby, in retirement, being interviewed as a reference for Jones doing undercover work:

Interviewer: Is he good under pressure?

Tom: I have seen Jones in the most excruciating, horrifying situation, the like of which would break even the strongest, and he handled it with the utmost coolness and discretion...

-his sister Georgette

-keeping his loved ones safe

-wrestling

-a nightowl, like his sister

-loves dogs

Dislikes

————————-

-his half-brother, mom, and step-father

-his childhood home

-Pierre Bellec

-Georgette getting hurt

-a certain blonde sharpshooter

-his birthday

-not understanding things

Personality-

-Often like his sister, Philip can be a bit off-putting at first with his grumpy attitude. Also similar to his younger sister, he doesn’t like distractions to get in the way of his job. He is normally pretty levelheaded but if pushed enough, he’s more of “cut down people first, ask questions later”

-to those who know him well, see him as a protective and caring person. How you know if Philip cares for you is that he asks questions such as “are you okay?”, “how was your day?” or “have you eaten?”

-Philip doesn’t really like to talk about his childhood and only ever really does with his sister

-Philip has quite the temper and it doesn’t take a lot to get him pissed off. Especially when it comes to the safety of Georgette. Seeing as how she’s his only family he has left, he’s very protective over her. This often puts him at odds with his sister as she insists she can take care of herself. He’s secretly terrified that he’ll lose her and he’ll be left alone

-he doesn’t like to admit it, but Philip’s ego grows ten times whenever he wrestles (As he’s a big dude so no one really messes with him)

Backstory-

(TW:mentions of child abuse, neglect)

-born April 4th, 1764, Philip doesn’t really remember his life before growing up in the St.John manor. He didn’t realize until as an adult that Chevrolet was his actual last name and was effectively “stolen” from his actual dad

-Philip was a lonely kid until his sister was born. He would often be found beside her as he loved having a younger sibling. The servants in the house also found the boy and his love for his baby sister quite sweet. He’d often cry if he was ever separated from her, especially if his parents tried to. Almost like he knew what was in store for his younger sibling

-Estelle often criticized her young son for emotions such as crying, always telling him, “boys don’t cry”. His step-father wasn’t much help either as Philip barely ever saw him. The only time he did was when he was being punished and to tell him “that to be the man of the house, you have to act like a man”

-things seemed to get almost easier for him when his half-brother, Adam was born in May of 1775. Gerard and Estelle shifted their attention to their youngest son and Philip was effectively left in the dust. Despite most of the pressures of being “the man of the house” taken away from him, he was pretty much neglected

-Yet he became worried when his parents pressure turned to his younger sister, mostly his mother, trying to turn her into “the perfect wife”. This angered Philip, despite his young age, yet he was often too afraid to ever truly stand up to his parents. As if he ever did, his parents threatened to send him away to military school

-Philip often regrets not standing up more when he was child, which is why he’s so angry in the first place

-as Philip grew up, he was effectively a ticking time bomb. When he was 15, there was incident in the family stables, when he almost beat an older stablehand into a bloody pulp. He refused to give an explanation to his parents as unbeknownst to them, the stablehand was being creepy towards his younger sister. Philip was the only person Georgette told about it as she was sure their parents wouldn’t believe her

-still, past his angry exterior, he was a nice kid. A lot of the servants found him polite and caring when he wasn’t in the presence of his parents. He would often help the maids carry things and do errands if needed

-when he was nineteen, Philip and Georgette were at a ball put on by their mother. It was at said party that Estelle announced her eldest two children would be getting married to “their long-time” fiancés. This was the first time Philip met his potential wife, Chloe Picard-Lahiffe, the daughter of a wealthy tanner. Even when he attempted to make conversation, she ignored him and was more eager to get to his *ahem* “goods” under his clothes. After he learned he was to be married to her after the ball, Philip and his sister escaped during it. He and Georgette were miles away when Estelle realized they were gone

-He and his sister ended up in Paris. While Georgette got a job as a washerwoman and a seamstress, he got a job in construction. He also picked up carpentry and woodcarving, realizing he liked it a lot and was pretty good at it. Despite having two jobs, he lived in an attic of a boarding house with multiple others along with his sister. He was coming back from a job when he found his sister fighting with a hooded man (Bellec). He beat up the man, thinking he was sent by his mother to bring back him and Georgette, but the man escaped

-Philip’s experience with unfairness came when he saw his sister nearly get arrested on fake charges of prostitution and theft. Philip tried to save his sister but was shot in the shoulder. He was saved by three assassins, Pierre Bellec and siblings Rosalind and Alexander Fournier

-Philip was initially reluctant to join the creed as he didn’t like how secretive it was. Yet, when his sister went to the saint-chápele to join, he went a long with her as if she was going, then he was too. He was pulled to the side of the assassins after learning more and remembering that sense of helplessness as a child. He took the last name of his real father when he joined the brotherhood, only knowing that his parent was a butcher from his step-father

-Philip was primarily trained by Alexander Fournier in the basics of combat, such as hand to hand, shooting a firearm, sword-fighting and stealth. Yet, when it became obvious that Philip was built to be a tank, he was sent to an assassin named Adélard Travers. Adélard was also a practitioner of Lutte Provençales, (Folk wrestling, predecessor of greco-Roman style wrestling) and taught Philip the sport, which he grew to love. He also taught Philip how to maneuver with an axe. Philip became friends with Adélard and was considered like one of his sons, who he was also all friends with

-Philip then met Lionel Poussin, a recent newcomer from Giverny. He didn’t like how Lionel paid so close of attention to his younger sister. And ESPECIALLY didn’t like when he risked his sister’s life on their first mission together

-the revolution broke out, he was forced to keep watched over a new novice, Arno Dorian. He didn’t like Arno at first, especially that he was friends with Lionel. So now he has to deal with two stooges that share one braincell 😂

Aesthetic——

An ax embedded in a stump; rough-looking hands; pile of wooden boards; black hair in a man bun; a fancy 18th century suit; rain-slicked cobblestone roads; dark stormy clouds over a city; a roaring river; a Belgian Malinois running; a fire burning through a field; a faceless man yelling; a hand gripping an ax; wood shavings scattered across the floor; hands carving a piece of wood; the jaws of an animal snarling; red eyes from crying; pieces of copper; crumbled papers; a hard and angry gaze

[kasperl-ruprecht]

It's nice when you find someone out there who suffers your particular flavor of brain rot. Met a guy who painted his Axman in the alternate toy colors whereas mine is in the original/tv show colors.

Said guy also had a good chunk of the Starsiege: Rebellion miniatures. We’re going to try it out sometime.

I'm so close to making Rodion a color ref and then just making you all perceive my axe twink asshole [I hate him]
