Flipping the Boat

The boat is at rest in a sideways position. Notice the cradles under it ready to receive it. I’ve done all I can to the hull from the outside.  So it’s time to flip the boat upright so I can start working from the inside.  To prepare for this, I’ve made 3 cradles to hold the boat in position once its upright.  I used the patterns for some of the frames with one placed directly under where the…

notes:

construct shapes can't charge like mechanical shapes though otherwise they're very similar.

Reel has difficulty speaking considering their teeth so they're quiet and mostly communicate through a mix of pouchlet sounds and modified sign/finger spelling.

Reel likes to sleep on the ground, sure they could sleep underwater, but they'd rather sleep on the beach, on rocks, or just in general on the ground

Reel can breathe underwater

Rotary (or Rota) is a little shit:tm: but like in the way a little mischievous cat is a little shit-

Rota can charge through their blades as long as there's sunlight available.

Rota also likes to hitch rides on reel when they aren't working in the factory.

Reel is 'looks like they can kill you & is actually p chill' meanwhile Rota is 'looks p chill & is 100% down to start maiming'

Rota can't really walk, they can scoot themselves around, but they're like dragonflies, and can really only move with a lot of agility in the air

both of them rarely use energy constructs, instead choosing to keep their energy reserves stable to only use in emergencies.

Reel can shoot both 'cannonballs' and 'fireworks' out of the holes on their tail.

Reel's sails are retractable/foldable and allow them to get help from the wind while swimming.

i get that not everyone reads things the way i read them but even so it does fuck me up a little how often people in this fandom will look at the *numerous* incidents of thor being physically violent to loki while loki does not or cannot fight back and literally respond like "it's so heartbreaking how loki can't understand that thor does this because he loves him 🥺💔" like do you HEAR. what you are SAYING

tfatws would've been SO good if they had hired actually good writers 😭 forever mourning what could've been.....

the potential of fatws haunts me like a grim spectre of potential because some parts of it i LOVED (sam & karli, boat adventures, zemo & his thoughts & opinions, SARAH, Isaiah, sam being told he deserves the shield but having to think about whether or not the SHIELD deserves HIM) but like. oh my god

i learned very little new info about sam wilson As A Guy on the Sam Wilson (& Bucky Barnes) Show. i learned nothing new about bucky barnes on the Sam Wilson & Bucky Barnes Show. THEY PUT i gotta calm down give me a second hi. they put. the winter soldier (THE WINTER SOLIDER. BONKY BARN HIMSELF) in on-screen therapy........... & had him talking about how he needs 2 manfully make amends 4 his terrible hydra crimes like how do u fumble the ball this hard. cowardice it's cowardly behaviour

and like here's the thing. i did not actually need the writing to be Good i just needed it to commit to any kind of bit. like. serve a purpose. have intent. know what it is trying to say a little bit or at least have something that it would Like to say abt the characters etc

like i consider im2 to be a good iron man movie because despite being stupid (& clumsy in places) it knows what it is & what it's for & what it's doing and it executes most of it pretty decently. Also it is fun and we learn things in it. a low bar :)

who was fatws For (aside from me personally so that i can cheer when i see my best friend samuel in his party city captain america costume for one single episode). these same dudes are writing sam's movie now i am white knuckling it

headcanon that Frenchie says things like "back on Blackbeard's ship" (when he refers to it at all) and the others are like Frenchie. it was this ship. we're on that same ship

Gendering war machines was not really something most human developers ever cared about. Machines would typically be referred to as an it (something the terminals do in Ultrakill) or maybe a they.

But, given that the vast majority of machines have the capacity for higher thought, most of them could also have feelings about their gender. It's reasonably likely many of them were fine with it/its or they/them or a mix of the two, but some veered toward more "traditionally" gendered pronouns.

Mirage (as far as her main verse goes) is among that number. She didn't particularly explore it until after she had more-or-less been allowed into society, but she already had very strong feelings about wanting to be seen as a person and thus did not want to be referred to as an it. They/them was fine, but... she wasn't especially attached.

She tried out a few different options before eventually settling with she/her. Mirage was already finding herself drawn to wearing skirts, dresses, and ribbons; she wanted to be seen as pretty. And while prettiness and general femininity didn't demand the usage of the pronouns, of course, it just all seemed to work together well.

Prettiest girl in town has a nice ring to it, anyway.

Love how in the last two Earthsea books Le Guin just drops “all mages are celibate and most witches are lesbians” and then just moves on with the story, icon shit tbh
