Double upload today coz I finally got around to editing this!

CC11 with my partner, trying to finish R18 within two hours of event start because we're crazy like that. Alongside that is a continuation of my road to Chongyue series where I pull in Joint Operations 8!

So I’ve made a few references to Steve being an Excel guy as an adult (because someone had to be in charge of Steve and Eddie’s money and it certainly wasn’t going to be Eddie).

He’s got the classic spreadsheets – monthly budget, college savings projections, income tracking because he and Eddie both work jobs with variable incomes (Steve is a counselor and Eddie is an author), the whole nine yards.

Steve also has some “extracurricular” spreadsheets. I’ve talked about how Steve has a spreadsheet tracking the combinations of Mario Kart racers/vehicles he tries out (there’s a ranking system involved, it’s very complex). He’s got one for his fantasy football league, obviously, and he and Moe put money on their March Madness brackets so there’s a spreadsheet for that too.

Eddie’s personal favorite is the one comparing monthly expenses by kid, which isn’t exactly a necessary metric per se, but from it stems a game Steve and Eddie secretly play: who is the most expensive Harrington daughter?

The winner tends to rotate throughout the year, but Hazel is usually their least expensive child in the long run. She does ballet, which isn’t too bad when she’s little but then she graduates to pointe shoes, and Steve had no idea that not only do pointe shoes set you back $100 minimum, they also wear out ridiculously fast, and, as he’s been told many times, you can’t wear the dead ones.

Moe usually takes that top spot in the winter – elite basketball teams aren’t cheap by any stretch of the imagination, and then in high school she gets into snowboarding, which is somehow even more expensive. She’s also consistently the reason they hit their health insurance deductible every year. 

Robbie is their overall most expensive kid by a mile. She drove up their car insurance by getting into an accident a month after she got her driver's license, had braces for five years, and the prescription on her glasses has changed every eighteen months since she was seven. She’s notorious for breaking her phone, so she racks up quite a tab in that regard too (the one year they got a protection plan was also the one year she had no phone-related incidents, so they didn’t even bother renewing it – they just make her suffer with a cracked screen for a few months before they finally drag her to the mall to get it fixed). There’s also the year Eddie bought her an electric violin which was, naturally, not cheap (Eddie argues it shouldn’t count because he was the brains behind that operation).

you can also call Five Uta, however she doesn't like it as much because it's the name of all of her model of robots. Unlike her serial number, it's not unique to her, so she would prefer to be referred to as just 5

Stealing kiwi's idea bcuz I'm indecisive... Reasons for both (and possible cons)

Irene: I'm sparking for Specalter and I don't want to separate them, but I already have Guard Ch'en so I don't really need a second 6 star swordmaster. However I REALLY like her kit and would use her way more than I use Ch'en and I like the skin she's getting with LT from Ambience Synethesia

Dorothy: Dorothy is so cute and I love her story and also she's really good with mumu clones, but her banner should be rerunning with the DV rerun and she's set to be on standard headhunting relatively soon. If I get her here though I can save pulls for Jessica alter & Viviana (and I'll only be missing Ifrit and Mayer for my RL squad)

when Heropre was just getting started my hope was that Sora+Mashiro and Tsubasa+Ageha would sort of function as separate teams at first who would come together as the story progressed and obviously that isn't how things happened, but i'm delighted that Wanpre is kind of doing that with Team Cat and Team Dog here, even though i'm sure they'll wind up all working together pretty quickly lol, especially since Yuki is the only one who doesn't want to play nice. i like the mild drama and friction of it and i LOVE having two duos who compliment each other on a thematic and design level

I finally got Irene! * - * Waa! I didn't got her during SN last year, so I'm really happy! Like, seriously... I pulled like 60 times on Joint Operation banner only to get 2 Dorothy copies, now I have her like pot 3... Then I just went "Random roll goooo" and boom, she appeared, probably not out of Arknights pity, but like her actual pity xd

Now watch me listen to her EN voicelines like it's some kind of podcast. That accent is a blessing.

I feel like in the U.S. we should be holding protests against U.S. military trainings in Africa or something. Not that it would convince the U.S. government to stop doing something they’re so heavily invested in financially but it would be a good central message to direct some of the current energy towards and would make more people aware of one of the ways that neocolonialism operates and would hopefully be carried forward into future movements
