A more formal costume with a slightly edit on the palette 🎨

[mothwithapencil]

So nobody was gonna tell me about the completely adorable sf4 Vega wasp costume huh. I see how it is.

The fact that Popopo is more worried that neither Meta and Gala would not want to hug him anymore after finding out he was Void Terrmina in the past, is just so him.

Sweet kid indeed. Someone hug him.

The revelation was going to make the arc really interesting and play into Popopo's conceptual origins as being based on the "original Kirby" in both an IRL sense and perhaps a precursor sense since in the ASM:R verse they were on that brink of "WHERE IS THE CHOSEN KIRBY WE ARE GETTING DESPERATE HERE."

Some fun extra detail with intentional "misinformation" in the story was Galacta's inconsistency with having "destroyed" vs "sealed" Void because he considered having dealt with him to effectively be the same thing, but naturally The Ancients had other plans. Since Dark Matter is effectively immortal until killed, what remained of Void was easily manipulated and used for some experiments, one of which resulted in little Popopo in hope of either Kirby finally showing up or for him to just straight up BE Kirby. Gala had no idea about the stuff but if he knew, he'd be pissed.

As mentioned, S2 was mostly going to be about Galacta's side of things and playing with that mess, and having him bond with some of the others a bit better was in the plan as well---having him forge a solidarity with Void Termina of all sorts was going to be a very fun route to take considering BOTH of them effectively suffered from The Ancients messing with them.

It's also low-key why Popopo keeps his horns like Galacta's---he admires him and his other side remembers their fight. But again, he doesn't hate him in the slightest, but was afraid he might hate him if he knew what he was. Thankfully, Galacta is not that type of guy. He knows this innocent baby boy is not the same "monster" he fought all those years ago and would be questioning if that "monster" really was one to begin with, considering around that time Zero (aka, Void's parent) was sealed away and Void was just seeking revenge/rescue while on an understandable rampage.

But yes, the baby will get all the hugs and also help bring a better era for the Dark Matters in general with Vladimir. He's happy he finally feels useful, even though he always was, haha.

Hey mods, as a person individual who is verified get hounded exiled by the W/vrr10rs c/VT f/4ndom.

I get it people can spread awareness whoever they chooses but please for the love of goodness handle it with care, respect, education, responsibility. And some of their fans began searching my alt 2rd account by goings on latest tags. I can handle the vote poll arguments but not the whole harassment. They went after my account bc of my dni. When I said they could've just move on , and scroll down or block me. I don't know how M find my account but i did not remember interact them or r3qv3st them before... sigh

[rumor-weed]

Anything more on Stephan or this 'Cassidy'?

“Boy, I know ya asked this nine years ago, but we didn’t really have an answer ‘til now. Looks like Stephan - er, was it Stefan? Never knew how to spell that pronunciation - might’ve been disappeared by a few guilty vegetables who all seem to be claimin’ THEY did it. Maybe they all did. Maybe nobody did. How come they all got alibis for why they couldn’t have done it, but they’re all swearin’ they did? Stephan’s gone, though. We haven’t seen the prince in ages - rumor has it he wasn’t even a prince, Anon. Maybe he was just some rich kid pullin’ some weird of sort of prank, one of those scam ‘fake prince’ emails that found someone who took the bait. Could be. That’s just a theory. A Rumor Theory.”

Audrey paused and considered the next name.

“Cassidy… ah! The child Archibald adopted without really askin’ his wife first, huh? That’s a good question, Anon! But uh… well, I don’t think we ever got answers. Sometimes I wonder if she was even real. The twins sure weren’t! But we all thought we saw them, right? Weird. But Cassidy… well, I liked her fine, I guess. I’d hope, if she was real, she’s just grown up, unlike the rest of us, and escaped to somewhere safer. Something weird about this town. Water that makes ya never age? Vampires? Serial killers? Paparazzi for a mildly popular but dyin’ kids show? It just doesn’t add up. And now Archibald is back. He’s back, Anon, and I don’t know what to think of it. It just isn’t right. He claims not to remember the last ten years! But Lovey claims she murdered him. Well, he’s not the first person to come back from the dead, a little different from when we last saw him. There’s that whole Art Bigotti thing too. I wasn’t around when he was Jumanji’d, but there’s somethin’ fishy for sure with him. And Mom Asparagus, well, if she’s dead, who’s to say she’d stay dead either?”

Audrey nodded as she determined it. “Actually, I suppose, until we find her, she is simultaneously both dead and alive. Schrodinger’s Mom Asparagus, I guess. But who’s to say for sure? Do we really wanna open that box? Risk the smell? She’s been gone a few days now. Are answers really worth it? So whatever happened to the others who we haven’t seen in years, such as Stephan, Cassidy, or really anyone else, it’s impossible to know for sure who’s capable of comin’ back. Can’t say I’d mind, it’d shake things up a little. Lots more rumors to share. But uh, I just hope they have a good sense of humor. Ten years and a lot changes. We all just want to laugh and poke fun at the people we used to be, affectionately, because we know ourselves now. It’s nice to not take yourself too seriously, right?”

She gave the anon a long look, contemplating. Nine years waiting on an answer they must’ve long given up on. and yet, here she was, answering it all the same. Times moves on, but sometimes no matter how far we walk, we eventually end up in the same places again, just a little different from the last time we were here. She wondered if the anon, who really probably had left the message behind and forgot about it, was doing all right, wherever they were. It was hard not to wonder who wrote the message. A friend? A stranger? A neighbor? The creator of My Immortal?

Anything was possible.

And wasn’t that beautiful?

She looked forward, as if she were looking directly at the screen, and she curled her leaf into a ‘C’ shape. “And that’s how Audrey… ‘C’s it.”

[kremlin]

after many years my old company has finally allowed people back into the office, haha, not to go to work, no no, solely to collect their belongings from their desks. i picked up my stuff and remembered what a psycho i was about my office back then, let me show you..

i set up an old VT-420 on a side of my desk to read my email on (to flex my computer dick) which is unfortunately a bit too yellowed now for me to post exposed but hilariously enough i did take the chance to fix the faulty RS-232 chip in it and i no longer get a bunch of keystrokes interpreted as ŸŸŸŸs randomly. the fix was great too, instead of having to throw the whole thing out like you'd need to today, i literally just had to pull the PTH chip out of its socket, didn't even need to desolder. nor throw the old one out. i blasted it with a blowtorch for about half a second and it's fine now.

(it is amber by the way, which is the best color)

the keyboard is another story, i think a lot of like, entry-level vintage computing people get this concept that every old keyboard is some treasure, and boy let me tell you, some of them make you want throw up, like the vt420's:

you'll have to take my word that the typing experience is pure ass, but if you look at this fucker for more than two seconds your blood pressure will start to raise. and i'm not just talking about the euro return key. where is the super key? and what is going on left of 'a'? did they decide to solve the age-old "caps lock vs ctrl" debate by putting both of them there (??) what the fuck is going on north of the arrow keys?!?! and even further north, 'help' is funny enough on its own, the fact its next to DO, a truly existentially puzzling key, makes it that much better. why is DO so wide?? why are there so many F keys? and apparantly 20 F keys wasn't enough, they had to go on and invent "PF" keys above the numpad. and it doesn't stop there..

the pre-USB world was pretty nuts, but most keyboards still had sane connectors like DE-9's, PS/2, DINs, etc, but not this one

it uses, a, uh, looks like an ethernet cable. weird. but look closer. six pins. AND, big honking square to key it specifically and make it incompatible with the very-similar already-existing 6P6C specification (why?) anyways, that's enough of this crap, moving on

this is the keyboard for my lisp machine, the famous "space cadet keyboard", i get so many fucking emails about this keyboard, christ almighty. people trying to buy it from me, it's a shame, the machines don't boot without them so seperating them to satisfy reddit guy wish fulfillment breaks my heart. it's a lot better. it's from an era where a good computer would set you back half a million and the hardware reflects it. honeywell made it, it's "solid state" insofar as that makes sense for a keyboard, uses the hall effect. there weren't any rats at my office but just in case i seem to have taped something to the underside:

lol. now for accouterments to cover those hideous eggshell white walls:

in order, openbsd, you know it baby, middle is a weird polish promo for the holy mountain, the last thing was a joke whose meaning has been lost to time. chicken and turkey!

i seemed to have been working on some very bizarre electronics projects, personal, during my workday:

god, what the fuck was this?

oh, duh, it's bort's hat. (??)

some reading materials. K&R C is a first edition, somewhat rare. the 9front manuals:

classic, natch. and a huge gear that's clapped

that's it. that's my office apparently.

TALEVEMBER 2024

Last year there was a Talevember, and now there's one this year!

I wanted to make this more about characters just so each day we could focus on someone new! And maybe spread some new ideas about them.

These prompts don't need to be drawings, they can be anything you want! Including art, fanfic, memes, headcanons, or just normal text posts.

I also made a general prompts list

This one would be used for more traditional art months, though feel free to use the prompts for anything you want. These prompts don't have to line up with the character prompts, and vise versa.

I hope everyone has fun with these! I look forward to seeing what people do with them.

I will also be participating as much as I can and will be posting videos and wiki pages to catch up on characters.

Below is a more in-depth look at what each character prompt includes, in case anyone needs clarification

Jimmy Casket - just him and any surrounding ideas

P.I.E - Paranormal Investigators Extraordinaire. Just the group as a whole. Anything about them, but mostly like as a connected group. Johnny Ghost, Johnny Toast, Fred Spooker, and Colon Ghostie, and the organization they're a part of.

Billion Year War - The arc in which

Billy Acachalla - just him and any surrounding ideas

Ghost’s Family - refers to Johnny Ghost and anyone in his family. This includes Gregory Casket, his mother, his father (any of them), Ernie Ghost, as well as anyone stated to be related to him. May also refer to his family as a unit.

Gertrude - Gertrude Acachalla and any surrounding ideas

Acachalla Gang - The Acachalla Gang refers to the gang Papa Acachalla used to be a part of. It contained Papa Acachalla, Maxwell Acachalla, Jose Jose Jose Jose, Princeton Quagmire, and possibly Jeremy Acachalla and Kermit the Claw.

Unicorns - refers to Starduat Sprinkleshine, Sparkly Puddlebuns, any other unicorn, and the Floating Gun of the Aztecs in which people transform into Unicorns.

Spencer - Spencer Acachalla and any surrounding ideas

Maddie Friend - just her and any surrounding ideas

Police Officers - refers to any Police Officers in the VT universe, main one being Officer Maloney, or Jenny Toast (sister). There are plenty of other police officers to take from as well.

Fred Spooker - Fred "Spooker" Soup and any surrounding ideas

Johnny Toast - just him and any surrounding ideas

D.o.I.E - Destroyers of Inveatigators Extraordinaire is a group consisting of Johnny Cranky, Meow Pebble, and Jimmy (presumably Jimmy Casket). This prompt may also be used to talk about Deadly Investigators Extraordinaire which includes Darth Calculus, Billy Acachalla, and possibly Gertrude. These two groups are sometimes combined by the fandom

Uncommons - any characters who are a bit more obscure or that people in the fandom don't talk about much. This prompt is very vague and thus can be used to talk about pretty much anyone, specifically if they don't already have a prompt. Characters that come to mind are Light Zeron, Josh, K-78-C, and HigglyDigglyHougan.

Papa Acachalla - just him and any surrounding ideas

Sue Acachalla - just her and any surrounding ideas

Soup Family - refers to everyone included in the Soup family, including Chalalata Soup, Apupu Soup, Fred Soup, Darth Calculus, Barnacle Soup, as well as anyone else either related to them, or brought up in conversations around their family (like Goober or Sally Betty Jessica)

Johnny Ghost - just him and any surrounding ideas

Paranormal Entities - refers to any paranormal entity in the VT universe, or discussion around paranormal entities as a group. Characters who come to mind are Woah, Cardboard Friend, Aimee, the lvl25 cat demon, among many others

Creepypasta Highschool - refers to both the Creepypasta Highschool, as well as students and teachers there. Main students there are Slenderman, The Rake, and Jeff the Killer. The main teacher being Mr. Sviggles

Gavin Toast - just him and any surrounding ideas

A Tale Series - refers to any tale series on the channel. Main ones being A Minecraft Tale, A Skyrim Tale, A Fallout Tale, and An Oblivion Tale. Unfortunately these all had to be crammed into one prompt.

Colon Ghostie - Chris "Colon" Ghostie and any surrounding ideas

Acachalla Family - refers to anyone in the Acachalla Family, both as a household, and any extended family they may have. The Acachalla Family tree is extensive.

Taleblr OCs - refers to any original character, either from the fandom, or that you made up! Get creative, or discover someone else's OC!

Sally Acachalla - just her and any surrounding ideas

Jenny and Jenny - Jenny Ghost and Jenny Toast, both as a team and individually.

Early PIE - refers to the early years of P.I.E. It includes the creation of the team, as well as early characters like Katrina, Mary Toast, Dark Pit, Johnny Boast, and Johnny Roast. Could also refer to Gregory Casket.

Thank you for taking an interest in my Talevember list! I hope it brings everyone some fun and allowed the fandom to spread ideas to each other.

Wow, look what they did to the Mansard roof on this 1880 Italianate Victorian in Montpelier, Vermont. The 3bds, 2.5ba home is no longer Victorian b/c it's been extensively renovated. $589K. Check this one out.

Someone had a vision for this house. Remember, it's a Victorian and now the foyer has a used brick wall and knotty pine.

The main living area is now open concept, but look at how small the living room portion is. Just two seats facing one another.

Then they've got a farm dining table.

And, finally a large modern rustic kitchen. No trace of Victoriana here, whatsoever.

I have never seen anything like this. Why the hell would you take an Italianate Victorian and do this? This had to be the center hall where the original staircase was.

This reno is disturbing. Look at those windows.

Okay, that floor is a crime against humanity.

What's the purpose of the claw foot tub at this point?

Geez.

I don't know what to say about these bedrooms.

This one has a shower area behind some curtains.

We've arrived up in the opened Mansard roof.

It's now a rooftop sunroom.

The rooftop deck would be nice if this was a new house, but they completely destroyed a Victorian.

It probably looked something like this, but the Mansard roof is gone.

And, this small rear portion is all that's left of it with modern windows and some sort of metal overhang.

[chthonic-cassandra]

and not so good things:

at work I can still only stop crying for brief stretches. definitely crashing and need some respite but we're heading straight into our busiest time and my responsibilities all matter and there are too many of them and it feels like no one else can do a lot of them. keep finding myself back in the familiar dynamic where I am the one who has to do the hard thing and other people get to be triggered or frozen and I have to step in protectively for them no matter what it does to me. think part of what's happening is that the [several extremely confidential and tremendously upsetting including one that was personally triggering in one of the craziest ways I have ever experienced] situations over the past year are catching up to me. really also hate the part of that dynamic where people act like my trauma history is somehow impossible to respond to, and that after all these years I only have two people in my offline life who consistently do respond.

partner got sort of vt-triggered by watching me do the sleepwalking scene on Saturday and I'm sort of like, oh yeah, that's real, the seriousness of my stuff is real, see, it impacts him in this sustained way. so why the fuck does almost everyone else ignore it. like they don't even remember, or don't remember anything but the sort of vague sense that I'm a survivor. the specifics fucking matter, even if people find them uncomfortable.

I'm tired of being so tired. so glad that I can work and support myself and have this beautiful apartment and good food & c & c but I want to have the energy to read and write and practice my Greek. and actually sit with my memories so they don't leave me feeling like this.

McDonald's Restaurants by Magnitude of Mountain Backdrop / Rut

by u/Gigitoe

Eating a Big Mac® while gazing at Big Mountains is an experience that millions of Americans can relate to. But little do we ask ourselves, which McDonald's restaurants have the biggest, baddest mountain backdrop?

So I set out to answer this question, using rut, a topographic metric that does particularly well at identifying cities with badass mountain backdrops. (For more info, check out this Mercury News article by John Metcalfe, or my research paper)

Roughly speaking, this is how rut works:

The higher the mountains rise above a restaurant, the more impressive they appear, and the greater the rut.

The more steeply the mountains rise above a restaurant, the more impressive they appear, and the greater the rut.

Here's a tier list that shows the rut of the ruttiest McDonald's restaurant in various cities. The cutoffs are rather arbitrary, so please don't poison me with a Grimace Shake if your city doesn't get the tier you like :)

S tier - rut > 400 m (i'm lovin' it. would visit just for mountain views)

Palm Springs, CA (647 m) | Weed, CA (624 m) | Springville, UT (609 m) | Lone Pine, CA (521 m) | Rancho Cucamonga, CA (503 m) | Kailua Kona, HI (432 m) | Salt Lake City, UT (404 m)

A tier - rut between 200 to 400 m (impressive, but probably wouldn't visit just for mountain views)

Colorado Springs, CO (383 m) | Gatlinburg, TN (273 m) | Tacoma, WA (267 m) | Tucson, AZ (246 m) | Juneau, AK (223 m) | Tucson, AZ (209 m) | Albuquerque, NM (215 m) | Las Vegas, NV (209 m)

B tier - rut between 100 and 200 m (mountains nearby, or distant big mountains, or very distant huge mountains)

Anchorage, AK (192 m) | Seattle, WA (185 m) | Manchester, VT (166 m) | El Paso, TX (160 m) | Los Angeles, CA (153 m) | Portland, OR (144 m) | Denver, CO (126 m) | Boise, ID (106 m)

C tier - rut between 50 and 100 m (big hills nearby, or distant mountains, or very distant big mountains)

Rutland, VT (99 m) | San Diego, CA (84 m) | Asheville, NC (75 m) | Middlesboro, KY (70 m) | Phoenix, AZ (67 m) | Roanoke, VA (46 m)

D tier - rut between 25 and 50 m (hills nearby, or distant big hills, or very distant mountains)

Billings, MT (40 m) | Rapid City, SD (37 m) | Dalton, GA (38 m) | Hot Springs, AR (37 m) | Pittsburgh, PA (33 m) | San Francisco, CA (30 m) | Portsmouth, OH (26 m) | Greenville, SC (26 m) | Huntsville, AL (25 m)

E tier - rut between 10 and 25 m (small hills nearby, or hills in the distance, or very distant big hills)

Syracuse, NY (21 m) | Concord, NH (20 m) | Duluth, MN (20 m) | New Haven, CT (14 m) | Cincinnati, OH (13 m) | Wausau, WI (13 m) | Portland, ME (10 m)

F tier - rut between 0 and 10 m (flatter than a patty)

Nashville, TN (8.5 m) | New York City (4.3 m) | Kansas City (2.8 m) | Miami, FL (1.7 m) | Houston (1.6 m), TX | Chicago, IL (0.6 m)

For more locations, here's a spreadsheet with the rut of every McDonald's on this map.

----------------

Note: a rut of X doesn't mean the surrounding mountains rise a height of X above the restaurant. Instead, a rut of X means that a restaurant's mountain backdrop is as impressive as a restaurant at the base of a vertical cliff of height X. The less steeply the surrounding mountains rise above the restaurant, the lower the rut.

Also note: rut only considers rise above surroundings (relative height differences and angle of elevation). it does not consider absolute elevation, nor the "aesthetics" of a mountain, nor visibility (or lack thereof) due to weather or smog.

Attributions: Gavin Rehkemper (locations), FABDEM (elevation model), Google Earth Engine (calculations), ESRI (basemap), Kai Xu (rut metric and map)

If you like rut, you'll probably like its older brother jut even more. Jut measures how impressive, spectacular, or badass a mountain is—considering both its height above surroundings and steepness. If you want to find the most impressive mountains near you or worldwide, you may find the link above to be useful.

Let us know if you have any questions or comments—I'm happy to address them!
