The way this man is the Main Character of this sport without actually putting in any effort needs to be studied

[she-posts-nerdy-stuff]

All I can think about recently is that there are three main career options for Grishaverse main characters:

A) Child soldier

B) Criminal

C) ✨Both✨

Every time I interact with a social service I learn about more bullshit eligibility requirements that make me want to rend something to pieces with my teeth

As a child, Sherlock thinks that his big brother controls their neighbourhood. It’s a wild exaggeration, but he’s not completely wrong. Mycroft’s ability to deduce and manipulate people has allowed him to create a network of people who do his bidding and keep an eye on his little brother when he can’t do it himself.

When Mycroft starts using the government’s resources to monitor his brother, it actually doesn’t feel like much of a change to Sherlock.

Tarquin and Saxum (european badger)

Thick-skinned and assertive, badgers are not the kind to back down from a confrontation. They feel safe around the familiar, and can have difficulty making change. Badgers are fiercely protective, and have even been observed defending weaker animals that live in their burrows from predators. They are devoted creatures, typically mating for life.

revisiting/redrawing of this comic!

now that I'm halfway through blocking out the individual chapters of bad governance, there are: character arcs! themes! conversation that fit in the greater context of a story instead of a handful of loose ideas that rattle around in my head!

the original conversation got chopped up and split across several different scenes (sulla felix is the one who calls pompeyo a wild dog that dreams of being a king now!), so now I'm playing around with this specific one: the start of cassio's politician arc

I'm also kicking around the idea of renaming brutus to liberato. we'll see if it sticks!

I've also been fucking around with photo/collage type backgrounds on my other blog (I like the aesthetic, but I probably won't do it as much for the actual comic itself), the difference is for bad governance, I can just use my own lmao

Headcanon that Leon was a bit of a teen delinquent who peaked in high school, kept that high going up through his 21st birthday where he had a big The Hangover-esque celebration before he moved to raccoon city and his life has been in shambles ever since

Local politics is so important and you may think "it only impacts people in my city/county/whatever" but it can have much wider impacts

Like a concrete example of this is that in Pennsylvania, local laws in Philly, Pittsburgh, and Allegheny required that companies give paid sick leave to all employees — part time and seasonal, not just full time employees. And now, some companies (including the one I work for) decided that it was easier to make one policy for the whole state of PA that followed all the local laws, instead of changing the policy based on city/county.

So what that means concretely is that now, bc these local laws got passed requiring employees get paid sick leave, everyone else in the state also got paid sick leave even though they didn't live in one of the three places that passed those laws. (well, at least everyone working for the companies with state-wide policies)

Paid sick leave is not a small thing. Being able to call out sick from work and still get paid is huge, especially if you're someone living paycheck to paycheck.

And it only took 3 local laws getting passed to make a change impacting the entire state.

God, and all the Trumpists who are like “Yeah! Get his ass!! Take THAT, Ukraine!”

They’ll lecture you about how naive you are. This isn’t just how the world works, it’s how it should work. Grow up, the weak have to cower before the strong, might makes right.

Trump is sustaining his tough guy machismo by flagrantly pushing around American allies, bureaucrats, and the powerless, people dependent on government aid and so on. Much harder to sustain that kind of posture against the strong. Fine. It’s hard to watch but we can’t call it shocking, we know him and his character.

But his supporters, the cruel and cynical glee, the euphoria, the bubbling giggles coming from Christians who can’t get enough

What is a 'government'? I blindly used it in our previous interaction assuming it was a bad thing but I am unsure

Some of the old ghosts would talk about government from time to time but I wasn't intelligent enough to understand

Is it a surface word?

If so I would be intrigued to learn it so I can share with the other walking mushrooms because I believe learning would better out odds at living in the dungeon

-Local walkin talkin shroom

It's essentially a group of high ranking people who rule over society. Like how a dungeon lord rules over a dungeon and the monsters inside, the government helps create and enforce laws to support the wellbeing of people (amongst other things).

The word originated on the surface, yes, but I don't think a government system would necessarily work out for the walking mushroom species. Especially if not all of you are sentient.
