i love enjoying Bad Media bc theres so much for me to fix and play around with . mutant apocalypse is sooo stupid. fascinating tho. heres a little mikey adjustment. still rolling around the timeline and his relationship to meerkats in my brain

more mutant apocalypse rant below bc . ough. my gosh. incoherent but whateva

i think mutant apocalypse is REALLY INTERESTING IDEA!!!! a fun what-if. it obv cant actually happen bc Renet exists and she is from The Future a Human. and who with mutagen is gonna do that ????? but alas.

i also dont hate how little was explained !!! like mikey and the meerkats or what happened to casey and april. we didnt really need exact history for it to make sense in the moment. but i dont think raph got enough explanation on his amnesia ?? its mentioned like. 2 or 3 times. did i miss something

i wish leo got a better design bc maximus kong is FUGLYYYYYY and easily tops mikey on Unpleasant Design. but mikey still makes me so sad. why can i count his teeth. why is he wearing underpants. get outtt man!!!!!!! and their designs dont need to be cute or pretty. leo is literally double mutated. i just wish she didnt LOOK LIKE THAT.

been playing around with the idea of mikey still being left alone in the beginning (obv with a much smaller chompy and ice cream kitty) and then finding some early meerkat village. they help him out maybe in contrast to previous groups being hostile and thats why they specifically get the map. they only way i can think of him getting the location and road markings is some form of astral projection?? like projecting to the oasis and making his way back to himself. but i dont think thats how it works. but who cares

i think bc of that mikey would also be a lot more familiar with meerkat culture and him n mira bond over it. anyway. yap over

As a person who's always struggled to envision a future for themselves, the last 10 years plus the now regular messages about impending war are... Not good.

Solas: I take it you have unlocked the secrets of the Vi'Revas?

Rook: Ya Bellara got that shit worked out like, day 1.

Solas: Excellent. And how are the Shadow Dragons liking their new accommodations?

Rook: I mean... Neve's settled into her room I guess? She's got a lot of wisps bugging her tho.

Solas: And the rest of them...?

Rook: ...What?

Solas: What do you mean "What?"

Rook: ........

Solas: Have you not given access to the Lighthouse and Eluvian network for the Shadow Dragons to utilize in freeing the slaves of Tevinter?

Rook: I uh... were we supposed to...?

Solas: You're not using the pocket-dimension stronghold with infinite rooms that bend to the dwellers needs with access to a teleportation network that I specifically designed as a safe-house and headquarters for escape slaves and freedom fighters to assist the abolitionist group you've allied with?

Rook: Well-

Solas: Are you using it to gather your forces against the Evanuris? Housing refugees affected by the Blight? How many allies have you amassed here??

Rook: It's just the five of us right now.

Solas: Five...

Rook: Yeah, but we're reaching out to a couple mo-

Solas: I GAVE THE INQUISITION AN ENTIRE CASTLE THAT THEY IMMEDIATELY FILLED WITH REFUGEES, USED TO HOUSE THEIR ARMY, AND BECAME A POINT OF PILGRIMAGE FOR THEIR CAUSE, AND YOU ARE USING MY MULTIDIMENSIONAL SLAVE REBELLION HEADQUARTERS TO HOUSE FIVE PEOPLE???

Rook (sweating): I uh... I'll go reach out to Dorian...

Whenever I see people comparing Hugh O'Connor and Sorin Sprocket it's almost always in terms of appearance because they're both blue bookguys with glasses and resting >:| faces, and it's really funny to me because little do you realise these nerds are two distinctly different flavours of the very same genre of madlad.

(Spoilers incoming...)

Hugh O'Connor spends half his time on screen desperately trying to hide the fact that he's a part time crane operator in his 20s and fails thanks to the aforementioned part time crane certification, lies through his teeth about his height, build, intellect and god knows what else, had this all revealed in a court of law by his best friend’s defense attorney after their other mutual bestie had been outed as a girl, decided the best strategy to get said defendant declared innocent is to commit such blatant perjury absolutely nobody buys it, and gave such a mess of a testimony that the prosecuting attorney straight up left the room to preserve any remaining braincells. Before he ultimately breaks down in messy tears from how much he loves his best friends. He also got indirectly stabbed in the hand by a spring loaded box cutter courtesy of Myriam.

And then you have Sorin Sprocket who communicates mainly through paper airplanes, has been walking around with an untreated stomach wound that only takes effect once you actually point it out to him after which he immediately collapses in a pool of his own blood, literally cannot remember anything past The Worst Day Of His Life and has been relying on his own handwritten account for months, despite all this he still has no goddamn clue what's going on the entire trial because his memory keeps getting screwed with due to other's clumsiness or gaslighting, and somehow manages to shimmy along the side of a blimp of his own design while bleeding out from the aforementioned stomach wound. In the middle of a storm. All out of nothing but love for his wife. He also got stabbed on two separate occasions, once with a candelabra and once with his own stim toy.

I don't know where I was going with this but the point I'm trying to make here is that I think someone on the writing team just really likes to stab nerds.

it's been over a whole month since i had a stupid argument with my parents about driving, a skill that i legally possess but hate doing because i have a special brain illness that makes me fear death and injury, but i'm still chewing over an absurd claim that it's "equally dangerous to go on a 14 hour train ride like you just did". literally how is that more dangerous. in what way. in what world. public transport is nice and good and i like it and i don't have to enter my personal torment nexus

Mask fit factor when lifting mask to eat or drink:

This is interesting. A lot of people do the lift-to-eat method on flights, etc. I always wondered whether you'd potentially trap contaminated air. Scientists even told me that it is a risk, though minimal compared to total removal.

Here's an actual fit test video. Fit factor drops all the way down to 4.6 when the mask is lifted to drink through a straw:

As he says, that's just mildly better than a surgical mask.

Compare to 230 with a plugged straw through Sip Valve:

—

And 382 when totally sealed: "That means the air is 382 times cleaner inside the mask than outside."

man that falin realized just before she died the first time that she was willing for other people to get killed if it meant marcille and laios would live and that gave her the will to teleport them out knowing it could kill other innocent people. And then she revives without the memory of it and no one will tell her what she did and she has to learn all over again that to live is to take so she can finally stop being dragged along w other people and do what shes always wanted to do

Scar won the series where living depended on a book, and was dictated by a seemingly magical entity that seeming speaks in galactic.

Scar, the man who was obsessed with the enchanter in past seasons. The block the imbues magic from a book written in galactic.

Maybe he was always going end up winning.

Perhaps he made it his fate.
