Fewer women than men enlisted, then only a handful of those women made it through the gauntlet of machismo that stood between them and real valor. Of those that did, next to none of them got promoted up the ranks or into the jobs so specialized and classified that they didn't get official titles.
Zephyr had been aware of this aspect of his workplace, but had never really thought much of it because it simply did not concern him.
It meant he got the odd jobs that had him flying out to exotic places and talking pretty while draped in a moderate income's worth of jewelry and high end fashion, even though women were always the most effective in this sub-field of subtle swaying.
He liked the term "influencer" to describe their line of work, and that was what he told people his job was, but the official term was technically, less-sexily, "psyop."
The lack of women in his immediate circle of coworkers never really stuck out as a failure of the system, it benefited him just fine, until he was stood outside a modest suburban home in the exurbs of Iowa.
The first wave of super soldiers were begining to be retired, and someone miles further up the command chain than Zephyr seemed to have finally had to face the consequences of making a weapon no one could destroy. That, or, this had always been the plan.
Once the things were obsolete, put them behind a white picket fence in ass-nowhere and stick an operative with the job of teaching the murder machines how to live that apple pie life.
It was a stupid enough idea for it to have always been the plan.
The only evidence that it wasn't always the plan was that when the day finally came for the first Andromeda Class Soldier to go home, there was not a Single woman with the right clearances, temperament, availability, lack of a family or friends that would notice her disappearance, and who had a willingness to be spayed, to take up the mantle of Faux-Bride of Frankenstein
Instead there was just Zephyr, who, in the words of his handler, "Was close enough."
He was supposed to be in Bali, but instead He's In Fucking Iowa, because the actual U.S. government didn't think to neuter their science experiment before making it bomb proof.
"Seething" was the only word to describe his mood as he walked down the stepping stone path to a porch that looked like something out of a stock photo.
Perfectly painted with two rocking chairs and a potted ivy, it would be cute were Zephyr's handler were not staining it with his presence.
Elton stood from one of the rockers and demonstrated his one impressive talent as he greeted Zephyr: His ability to look down his nose at someone nearly a full head taller than him.
"Zephyr."
"Elton," he responded coolly. They had ranks, technically, but neither of them typically cared to cast that kind of respect on the other. Especially not when they weren't even using their real names. "I'm looking for someone. Big guy, fugly. Seen it?"
"Your beautiful bride is just inside," Elton held out a cartoonish looking journal to him. "Here's everything you need to know for its care and keeping."
Zephyr took the book in hand, he didn't bother to ask who decided it should be pink and furry with ugly sequins and glitter that was already making Zephyr itch. He knew Elton had probably taken great pride in designing this "diary" himself.
"Hm hm, Give me the TLDR," he dropped it into the small backpack of personal belongings he was being allowed to bring into this mess.
"It's got super soldier dementia. Sad really. It's still in prime physical condition but something went wrong with a reprogramming and now it's bunk. According to the file, it gets confused. Old programs come back online or it's current one breaks so badly it has to revert to those shreds to stop itself going catatonic.
"There's no helping it and no putting it down, so it's your problem. The lab guys stripped out every memory and scrap of programming they could, so it should be a sponge of a blank slate for you to do your manipulations on."
"Everything?" Zephyr quirked a brow. He didn't know if he should be made eager by the limitless potential in making a man from nothing, or intimidated by the vast number of ways he could fuck this up.
"Everything. The higher powers want to see if you can make it into anything useful, and if you can't, then if it's able to adapt to being it's own person."
"Understood," he slung his backpack over his shoulder, "Last question - What are my off hours?"
"It's a temporary and highly sensitive post. You don't get any."
"Elton."
"Don't whine. You'll survive at least a year."
"No I won't. If I'm still 24/7 in three months time I'm killing us both," Zephyr shoulders pass him, not because Elton was in the way, but because Zephyr was hoping it'd knock him down the steps.
"It's a fucking super soldier- You're not killing it," he watches down his nose as Zephyr grabs the keys that are in the lock and opens the door to his new prison.
"Oh," he sneers as he backs through the door "I was Not talking about We as in it and I."
Closing the door in Elton's face was almost satisfying enough to make this situation worth it.
#zephyr#tbh i cut this in half bc im fussy and am indecisive about how to introduce Renard#anyways i had to bend over backwards to find a way to justify the us military setting up a fake gay marriage.#why cant zephyr be woman? dont worry about that. thats a special surprise for later.

SCREAM nijimen did a "top 10 hpmi characters who seem like they would spend the most time getting ready in the morning" or something poll and hifumi came in at a smooth smooth first place. it wasn't even close
i'll put the full results beneath a cut
hifumi 627 votes
jyushi 552 votes
ramuda 537 votes
hitoya 408 votes
jyuto 279 votes
ichijiku 268 votes
gentaro 213 votes
jakurai 173 votes
nemu 161 votes
otome 153 votes
honobono 144 votes
rosho 80 votes
samatoki 71 votes
jiro 68 votes
sasara 48 votes
ichiro 43 votes
saburo 42 votes
rei 40 votes
doppo 30 votes
kuko 25 votes
the list literally stops here so we can only imagine how many votes dice and rio got. and i'm imagining a big fat well-deserved zero for them both
#hypmic#nijimen nonsense#<- i think this was my tag for these polls? anyway#hilarious to me that hifumi got more votes than ALL THREE WOMEN IN THE TOP 10 COMBINED#i agree strongly with a lot of these rankings#though i feel like jakurai should maybe be higher#not even because he's fussy about his morning routine but simply because god#god there's so MUCH hair to deal with#gentaro idk. i personally would put him lower bc i feel like he'd say ''i woke up like this'' and everyone would think he's lying as usual#but it's the one time he's telling the truth#for completely biased and baseless reasons i would also put samatoki way up on here lmao#i like to imagine he preens#SERIOUSLY CANNOT GET OVER THE FACT THAT. LIKE. we have 21 main cast members#and the top 20 results for this poll#but two of them didn't make the cut at all while honobono (not one of the core 21) did#and the two that didn't make it are#an unemployed enemy of the state ex-navy guy who lives in the woods#and the unemployed homeless gambling addicted son of the prime minister#like......... yeah. fair

Practicing watercolor leaves
I watched a free tutorial recommended by Willa Wanders in one of her newsletters that is taught by Karen Elaine Parsons. She decorates the leaves and cuts them out, too. The doodling looked like fun, so I did it on a few of them.
Before cutting them out, I put a wash on the back using the leftover colors that were in my little palette, just so they wouldn't be stark white.
I think this is my favorite one.

It always seems like such a good idea in the moment (Patreon)
The first four are in reference to a great idea I had of - since I’ve finished my lower-limit page number testing for making books; shorter fics take up less page space, and just increasing the font size isn’t as handsome! - simply making a mini book! All it would take would be to halve the pages again, right? Just cut them right down the middle! Easy peasy!
As I’m sure you can tell by the second, no. Not easy peasy. Difficult painful un-fun >:(
Obviously I still did it tho! What do you take me for, someone who could have the idea of an even tinier book and then not do something about it?? No It’s also the only one so far to have a paper bookmark rather than a ribbon!
All told it’s a bit smaller than your average manga (I love the monochrome covers on these under their dust jackets haha <3) - you can see even with effectively doubling up the pages by halving their size, it was still very small-spined!
A quick shot while it was still being made hehe ♪ It’s Out! Paired here - and the earlier one, just without its dust jacket haha - with my Zarla SC2 collection (ft. Family, Negotiations are Going...Well, and With No Obligation) - I absolutely kicked myself after the fact for not including Out as the run-up to everything, I was really trying to make a full collection in probably-chronological order! Out would’ve been a perfect start! And it only would’ve taken like four pages!!
Ah well, it was still quite a learning experience - I probably wouldn’t make another standalone of under 4k-ish just for formatting reasons but I did get some good ideas of how to do so if I wanted to! Although, my next project is going to be even more of a formatting nightmare........I’ll get there when I get there! Lol
#Doodles#The impulsive thoughts are always the funnest! But then it's all a matter of actually putting them into reality...#Ahh well like I said under the cut it was a learning experience! And I really wanted a physical copy of Out haha ♪#I don't think I've ever mentioned it - not even in my pre-fic notes :0 - but Out was another one of my inspirations for Drinking Game#I mean - the drinking lol obviously but I hadn't considered what VUX drinking would be like before reading it :)#I wanted to pair it with both physical copies hehe ♫ I'm happy I attempted it! And I have a better foundation to build on in the future!#I ended up using the scrap leftover from making such a small cover as the bookmark haha - and I picked the covers so they'd almost-match :)#They go together! But not quite! Just enough!#The sting of creation has worn off - it's actually been a while since I've made a quick book! - so the itch is starting to come back haha#Well - almost lol - the formatting is still........but I do want to do it! Especially now that I've got a hand-in-hand hobby to go with it#All that later ♪ For now snakes!#And also spiders I am also the same when spiders#I've been escorting a lot of spiders outside lately and pretty much all of them fall under the moniker of ''darling'' to me lol#Still no luck on finding a jumping spider :( But I also haven't got an enclosure set up yet either#There's this one booth that always has such adorable and pretty jumping spider enclosures ahhh I might have to break and get one someday#Same place where I got to hold the snake in fact! :D She was a love <3 Beautiful full-grown female cornsnake if memory serves#She was rather wiggly - she was tired and fussy and didn't feel like being handled by a stranger but she was so polite about it#A real delight to handle <3 And I got to see her babies! So cute and tiny!#The rest is more SCII fic stuff haha ♪ Rereading the Pirate fic was a lot of fun :) Intentionally avoiding Vargas fic(s) does make me a bit#Well I really like Vargas still lol it is candy to my brain so any gesture even remotely in that direction is very exciting haha#I'm perfectly happy with the rest for now tho! I have plenty of things to read and make! >:3c#Heck there's still a SCII fic I haven't read yet that I want to!! I just have to get all my previous SCII thoughts out of my head first haha#I will tho >:3c Always always ♪♫#SCII

the fanon "ford needs a special nickname for stan to show that theyre close!!!" was kinda funny to me cos like. the show is pretty blatant with dipper not having a nickname for mabel and we all know that she's the most important person to him
#also folks trying to say that the sixer and dipper nicknames are basically the same lmao#ignoring that most folks only know dipper by his nickname#and don't realise its not his first name#i like the contrast of stan and bill being the only ones who uses the sixer nickname#vs ford and bill being the few who calls stan stanley#....maybe i should get an auto replace to cut 'lee' from fics im reading#so i can stop immediately mentally tapping out cos im super fussy lmao

Quilt WIP update featuring my darling babydoll Cricket (side borders are pinned for sewing). There’s going to be one more navy border but I am considering doing something in the corners. If anyone has ideas for corner embellishments lmk.

Post the funny animal. The mop thing
^ funny face penalty for peeing on her butt fur
#ask#anon#my pets#callie#photos#shes over grown and urine soaked atm but she's been too fussy for a bath and hair cut#i cut her nails today and she bit the hell out of me -_-#i don't like posting pictures of her when she's gross bc it makes her look neglected and it already sucks she's kept alone since bubs died#u get funny mop animal pictures when the funny mop animal is presentable for public viewing#which is rarely bc shes disgusting and pisses where she eats

Sometimes it is nice to cut up an onion the fancy way and have it melt into a sauce you're making. Takes forever, but it is worth the effort from time to time.
#text#to do this#half or quarter the onion#remove the root and top#peel two layers off of the onion#stack them in each other and cut very thing julliens#rotate the stack of julliened onion and then dice it as small as possible#with some practice and a sufficiently sharp knife you can turn it into something that dissolves when you cook it#i believe this is called bruin uh#bruinoire?#i definitely spelled that wrong#and im on my phone so im not going to google it#you can also back off slightly from that fine and have a very small dice that isnt as fussy#or just dice it how you normally do#but this is about occasionally treating yourself by making a sauce that took the extra effort
