writing buds, i am begging you - begging you - to take/keep notes when you're plotting out longer projects!!!!!!!!!!!!!
not for organization, not for consistency, not to remember that super awesome line you thought of in the shower, but so future-you can find them later.
maybe someday soon.
maybe someday not so soon.
and future-you can look at those notes. and future-you can read those notes. and future-you can have a beautiful moment where they squint at them like edgar allan poe from that kate beaton comic and go, "the FUCK was i thinking???" and it will absolutely be a shining moment in future-you's day, this i solemnly promise.
the buddy system is a powerful thing blessed be this team's love and friendship for one another even on a day as charged as this one aka all hail the united front ☝️
lombo trying to get in a word edgewise to stenny (a sentiment that he'll wait for him presumably) but the reporter's already talking so he just tries his best to get stennys attention to his own utter detriment because stennys too focused
bless lombo trying to be sweet but his efforts arent acknowledged because said person its supposed to be acknowledged by is busy doing his job lmaoooo
lombo hearing his name "yeah" yep thats the one word i understand yup that checks carry on i need everyone to know that THATS the one i got
even stenny cant help but chuckle a bit. are you charmed by his airheadness? are you? are youuuu??? is he endearing??? does his antics amuse you?????
the reporter saying "very good" like hes talking to a kid I WANT TO CRYYYYYY we have to praise efforts to be engaged in pressers like yeah you know what gold star for that one bonus points if you make everyone erupt into giggles
as you can see hes not sure what hes doing here except be eyecandy to stennys eyecandy but hes trying his best and maybe hes a little nervous but its the thought that counts
"thank you ryan for setting up the question appreciate it!" "no problem! great question 😃👍" said with tonality of a man who absolutely does not know what was said other than his name. oh bless his heart hes trying <3
STENNY DO YOU THINK HES FUNNY DOES HE AMUSE YOU GREATLY DO LIKE HIS SILLYISMS
if i had nickle for everytime a baddy, who usually has a stoic approach to media scrums, get a smile milked out of them by their shorter sillier companier id have two nickles. which isnt a lot. but its weird that its happened twice. unfortunately its a pattern this team is wrought with that narrative oh my god.
As mentioned in the DLC by Gingi, Bigfoot has a cousin in Florida, but their relationship is strained.
Bigfoot has met other cryptids historically (most notably Mothman, the Jersey Devil and the Chupacabra), since Bigfoot has been sighted in the same areas these guys roam in, with these encounters all going somewhat differently.
Realizing that as a woman who at 21 eagerly found, contacted, and interviewed a Bigfoot hunter in the backwoods of Florida until 3 am in the morning determined to be the next Ira Glass that I too would be dumb enough to interview those damn vampires. Every minute uncovering a new element of motive behind my newest hyper-fixations and special interests, Daniel Molloy and Armand.
Is a skunk ape much different from a bigfoot? I live in Florida and I've never seen one myself, only heard stories
Hey, I'm gonna field this one since I've worked pretty extensively with Skunk Apes;
The Cryptid Apes are sort of a generally nebulous umbrella of creatures that have a similarity to one another but aren't actually related. Skunk apes are a lot smaller, more aggressive, and much more territorial than the larger and more peaceful Sasquatch; that's why we tag them. The few times they've had major overlap with mundane communities havent ended well.
The biggest thing about the skunk ape is their stench. You might think the stories are exaggerating; they aren't. They exude a POWERFUL stink, and can spray a liquid that smells even worse from their anal glands; their spray is so bad that you're better off throwing away any clothes that get hit by it; I chopped all my hair off once because skunk ape spray got into it, it's that bad. If it gets on your skin, you're looking at multiple tomato and baking soda baths, mixed with hard scrubbing and industrial degreasing soap.
Socially, they travel in large groups called "troops." The major troops that occupied the Everglades were the Kissimee Troop, led by an older male named Mickey, and the Okeechobee Troop, which was led by an older female we called Fiona, until her daughter Lydia challenged her for leadership and took over.
As far as we know, they've been here longer than humans have; they're really fascinating creatures.
