Hobies clueless with the technology now days. You would have to tell me how to use have of the things BUT ALSO imagine how cute it would be to see Hobie be so curious. He’d listen to your every detailed and hours later you just see him trying to use and study it. He will not rest until he knows what that strange device is

- 💗

You look like this to him while you're explaining 🤣

After all the initial lessons on it, Hobie would most definitely do his own research aka taking the thing apart and studying it piece by piece so he can recreate it. Hell he'll even make it better for a lesser price too (Mcgyver coded 🤣)

Professor Hershel Layton has ADHD in this essay i will-

(Ok no but fr this is my incredibly biased headcanon and I will stick to it no matter what)

Exhibit A: Puzzle Hyeprfixation. Yeah this guy likes puzzles but it kinda crosses into hyperfixation territorry when he stops in his tracks at inconvenient moments to bring up random puzzles he heard one time. Neurotypical? I think NOT

Exhibit B: Messy office. Every character comments on how messy he is like this mf needs an assistant AND an apprentice just so his office doesn't end up looking like a warzone.

Exhibit C: Journal. Ok yes it's a game mechanic and neurotypical people can have journals too but like i imagine him writing everything down because if not he WILL forget what he was doing

Exhibit D: Hyperfocus. This... this one doesn't have much to do with canon I just see him hyperfocusing on puzzles/when he mcgyvers random bullshit out of spare parts he finds lying around/doing actual archaeology things (i think i remember seeing dialogue that supports this in Last Specter but i don't rember)

In conclusion your honor he just like me fr

Ok last 'the gang is working at Goddard now' post from discord before I call it a night, assuming tumblr will let me post this one

Kat only loosely related, but although the Hephaestus doesn't have a CAPCOM (too far away) I wonder if closer low Earth orbit Goddard installations have one and if they, like NASA CAPCOMs, are all former astronauts. Probably not, I would think, since if you've got 1 person filtering all communication you'd probably want it to be one of Cutter's more… informed people. now imagining Jordan doing a CAPCOM stint since she's comms Jordan: What, you say the hull isn't damaged but you were hit by something. Was it round? Perhaps…. melon-shaped? Klein who's up doing a satellite launch from a station or whatever: I'll kill you Gill Klein’s just never gonna live that down huh Kat unfortunately he literally didn't Gill Rip Kate : ) but also :’ ( Also remind me what CAPCOM means because I’m like “the video game company?” Gill Concept: the Hephaestus crew doing a shift or two on CAPCOM to unwind after a long day of dismantling Goddard Futuristics from the inside out Kat capsule communicator basically they're the single line of communication between astronauts and the ground, to streamline stuff and they're usually astronauts because they know what the crew is doing more personally "In the context of potential crewed missions to Mars, NASA Ames Research Center has conducted field trials of advanced computer-support for astronaut and remote science teams, to test the possibilities for automating CAPCOM." hm. Maybe Goddard has AI capcoms Gill The Sensus series’ predecessor line, perhaps Kat Some poor asshole on a low orbit station: We've got an ammonia leak Automated CAPCOM: Please choose from the following options. Press 1 for a personnel issue. Press 2 for a maintenance issue Astronaut: We're dying Kate Pfff Kat someone: we've got some crew hostility in one of the low orbit stations Minkowski: Put Eiffel on CAPCOM for a few days. Either they'll calm down or they'll unite in being annoyed by him instead. Win win Kate Their secret weapon Gill Minkowski likes doing CAPCOM to unwind but Lovelace finds it stressful bc she’s way worse about being a backseat driver Kat Minkowski: Finally normal simple problems to solve. It is usually a pretty simple, boring job. Until something goes wrong Gill meanwhile, Lovelace: What do you MEAN you've never had to duct-tape a water reclamation system back together?? Kat Haha yeah. Former astronaut capcoms have creative solutions LEO crew who can get new supplies shipped up basically whenever: We could just… trash this broken part and order a replacement Lovelace: Why when you can mcgyver this solution with only moderate risk to life and limb Gill the Hephaestus Mission and the crew themselves gain such a reputation that when the rumors start circulating that Minkowski got her current job by killing Marcus Cutter ("and did you ever meet Marcus Cutter?") half the company is lowkey terrified of her Kate “Ohhh look at YOU with your cushy life, you can just order a NEW part. Back in MY day my boss came up there personally with a gun and shot at us” Kat Haha It’s a very different life being right next to earth easy mode Gill LEO crewmember whispering to another one while their commander is on the phone: God, I hope we don't have to go through a teambuilding exercise run by Isabel Lovelace… Kat Although I suppose it makes it even easier for cutter to send goons up to harass you Kate True… “Hey, can we have a new part?” “No, but you can have Victor Riemann! Have fun!”

Gill Alternatively: "Uh… we think we need a new part… ma'am." Minkowski: …okay? Let me get the word out to the supply team. "You're… not gonna send Warren Kepler and his minions with them like Mr. Cutter used to, are you?" Minkowski: What? No. Most of them didn't even come back from Wolf 359. "/sighs and other noises of audible relief, oh thank god!" Kat now imagining SI5 showing up for no goddamn reason on a resupply shuttle and the mission commander being like "i didn't order you" and closing the hatch crewmember: don't those burn up on re-entry commander: not my problem Gill Telling command you need help? Admitting human weakness? That's a Kepler-ing. Kat Yeah well does it admit human weakness to have to be let onto the station before you burn up with all the dirty laundry and other garbage when the capsule gets sent back thru the atmosphere Eiffel hearing about life on LEO stations: I can't believe this. They got new underwear sent up to them though it's a dangerous game… .Terry Virts had two consecutive underwear shipments explode thanks space x Cutter: The Andromeda station's psych evals are too far in the green. Blow up their next three laundry shipments.

how do you feel about deus ex machina.?

do you mean when a character magically possesses all the skills and/or knowledge/equipment necessary to complete a task?

like...wade having every gadget for kim imaginable? or every gadget can do what's necessary despite defying scientific explanation?

or another fandom... bbc sherlock, he knows everything about everything no matter what the circumstance? and the original book canon holmes as well, pretty much...

well, for characters for whom it makes sense? like sherlock holmes and kim possible, the latter's tag line literally being "she can do anything." yeah for those chars and situations, it makes sense to me. that's kind of essential to who they are. just like how mcgyver or the a-team can finagle their way out of any situation.

when it's totally out of character it might break the magic for me. like if ron suddenly had vast knowledge of ancient mesoamerican mythology to get them out of some pyramid of death traps and is reading the heiroglphys... or if drakken suddenly had a mastery of ballroom dance or could speak fluent fuzhonese... impossible? no. wayyy out of left field? yeah, yeah it is.

and like i said, if it breaks the magic...then is it worth including? if it suddenly feels like "not the character" or "not the show/story" whether part of canon or fanfic... that's when i'd start wondering if it's worth it.

but, that's the challenge in good writing, whether for screen/animation or books/fanfic... a good writer will convince you without breaking the magic. and that's what i look for. i want to be drawn deeper into the magic of a world. i guess that's how i feel about it.

thanks for the ask!!

☁ flori is heavily and unironically invested in the narrative that's being spun right now and, therefore, katherine also gets a corsac fox plushie

Send ☁ to give my muse a stuffed animal.

"Ah- Rocks. Not a native to the kingdom, actually a transplant from a distant one. Not a single thought behind those static eyes. Rocks is SHY and has been socially adopted by the town extrovert Chips. Yes he's a little dumb but if you call him stupid Chips will feed you to Kappa. I do not recommend you fuck around and find out."

"I also advise you NOT to mistake him being a little dumb for being STUPID anyway. He's slow because he's processing things you cant even imagine. He's got an IQ of 200 and can McGyver a rocket ship out of a paper clip and a ham bone. He's a sweet anxious smart boi and you better be fucking nice to him or Johnathan sky rider will give you rotten fish for your hibernation gift."

[connor-dioda]

OOOOOH THIS IS REALLY NEAT

I imagine much of the propulsion would have to come from his arms though? Maybe the arm-fins could be attached to his tail brace somehow to move his tail fin up and down with outside prompting.

Really love the worldbuilding implications of this too! I wonder how advanced their tech would be? Or perhaps they got creative and McGyvered some improvised tools from the stuff land people left behind?

Merman Johnny! He can swim now but he still can't walk 😭

Can do! But I think he still wouldn’t be able to swim! His tail is the equivalent of his legs, right? So that means his tail is paralyzed (maybe from being shot with a harpoon?). I thought it would be more respectful to come up with mobility aids for him! And it ended up being fun too!

On his arms he has manmade (or mer-made?) fins to help him move around on his own. His tail is in a brace to stop it from getting hurt. The brace can help him fold up his tail if he needs to take up less space. He wears gloves with webbing between the fingers to help him swim in case he doesn’t have his arm fins on.

If he’s with a friend like Gyro, usually he doesn’t need to use his arm fins. He can just hold onto his friend and let them pull him. Since he doesn’t move his tail, starfish like to hitch a ride sometimes!

If anyone has any suggestions for ways to help him move around on his own, let me know! 🩷🩵

The Day He Loved Red

Summary: Mac meets someone from his old high school. Turns out that's also his high school crush. Kinda. Yeah.

Words: 1,658.

Warning(s): Nah. It's maybe excessively fluffy, but uh, yeah, you know me.

Angus MacGyver was Blue. No, not in a melodramatic way. Mac was Blue. Just Blue. He was a refreshing cool spring day, the sloshing sound of water in a glass, and the feeling of piercing, icy eyes staring into your soul. 

Angus MacGyver hated red. The colour red symbolised pain, fire, and most of all, it resembled Nikki. It symbolised the thick cloud of lust and emotion he used to feel for her, the dark sheets they used to make love under. It symbolised the burning sensation of his breaking heart when she betrayed him. Red used to be the colour of love, now it only brought Mac pain. 

The first time MacGyver meets you is in high school. You’re red. A small, bright red streak in a world of dark greys and browns. Yet Mac, as naive as a young, scrawny boy can be (yes, apparently even people with an IQ over 140 can be naive, when presented with the appropriate dose of hormones and the lack of understanding of the opposite sex), barely spares you a second glance. He walks away from the beautifully unique, intelligent girl with her large glasses and her remarkably large forest of bright red hair. Mac goes on with his life. So do you. 

In the same year, both you and Mac graduate. Mac is 17, you are 16. You’re not a lot smarter than Mac, and probably not nearly as ‘creative’ when it comes to old metal scraps and machinery, but your intelligence leans more to the 'socially acceptable’ side of the wackiness that is the school system. Because while Mac is a 'homo universalis’, you assume his lack of interest in literature and theory explain why he graduates only a year earlier than the common student (not that you love theory, you’ve just been a little more subtle in your endeavours to obtain knowledge. Incinerating mopeds has never really fit in the school’s curriculum). 

While you’re giving your graduation speech, Mac can’t help but notice the way the wispy strands of your hair sway with the wind, like flames dancing in the dark night sky. With the confidence of a young, scrawny boy on hormones, Angus MacGyver represses this short moment of infatuation. It’s the last time he’ll see you anyway. 

Fate never works as one thinks it will, and in true fashion, you and Mac have the chance to meet again. This time, by the hands of Patricia Thornton (she swears your recruitment has nothing to do with your history with Mac, but fooling a not-so naive, not-so scrawny young man has proven to be a little trickier than necessary). When Jack and his younger partner arrive at the Phoenix Foundation a little more injured than usual, Patricia announces the need for a medical expert (because although Mac is a genius, he also has the annoying urge to protect everyone, but himself). Even though Mac tries to argue that his method of 'first aid’ works fine until they get to the hospital, both Patty and Riley are fed up with trying not to blow their cover after each mission. 

Mac reluctantly agrees. Reluctantly. Maybe less reluctantly after seeing your picture. Maybe, just maybe, his heart skips a beat. 

The following Monday, you seem to already be setting up your little doctor’s office when Mac arrives. He doesn’t say it, but you’ve definitely grown more beautiful, more red. One might even say you’re Red now. The youngest member of the Phoenix Foundation would agree. Yet, upon seeing you so Red, Mac’s afraid. It has barely been six months since Nikki’s betrayal, and hurt enters his barely healed heart again. 

It takes a moment for you to notice him standing in the doorway, and it takes another moment for you to recognise him as the lanky salutatorian. There’s no doubt Mac has grown to be really handsome, but you hope he still has those nerdy qualities that made him stand out in high school. You also hope Bozer’s still around (it was hard not to notice the bubbly persona standing next to your high school crush). 

It feels weird. You've missed years of each other's life, but one shy look in his eyes guarantees you that it's not going to be long before you're falling head over heels in love with him again.

“Hi, I'm Jamie. You're Angus MacGyver, right?” you ask, but it's only out of courtesy. Of course you remember Mac. He's the scrawny kid who incinerated a moped, and that's just something you can't forget. However, you're not sure he remembers you (but oh boy, does he).

“Yeah. Call me Mac though, never liked the name Angus. You're the valedictorian with the bright red hair?”

“I am,” you admit, smiling coyly. You're somehow glad he still remembers you. 

“Graduated at 16, five years at med school, worked in UCLA for four years?” 

“Nope, UCSF for three, UCLA for one. You graduated at 17, MIT for three—no two years, EOD for three, then DXS?” you shoot back.

“Yup. You looked into my file, didn't you?”

“No comment.”

Turns out, your services are very much required, to Mac's spite. During a particularly hectic mission, in which they have to improvise an operation on Ralph, the so-called accountant of an organisation named D-77, you're called in a hurry.

“Mac. Please tell me you're calling because you want to say hello, and not because there's currently an unconscious accountant lying in the trunk after he got shot?”

“I'm so sorry Doc, but we need you. Now.” 

A normal person in a normal situation would probably panic, but, since this isn't a normal situation, and you are, by all means, not just a normal person, you try to quickly compose yourself, before giving Mac the necessary instructions. 

Mac thanks you afterwards, when he gets back home. More specifically, with a hug (both of you will, if asked, deny that the hug lasts a little too long, that Mac's hand is a little too low on your back to be strictly platonic, and that the sexual tension is suffocating in such a small room).

For safety reasons, Bozer decides that, after finally obtaining Riley's entire phone number, Mac should have yours. Obviously, just in case something happens. 

Over the next couple of weeks, the both of you share cute anecdotes, discuss 'sciencey things (as Jack calls it)', and of course you ask him about his physical health after tough missions. Mac spends a lot more time talking to you, and although Jack tends to complain a little about him not living in the present, the older man is secretly a little happy to see Mac having a stable relationship with a woman again, after Nikki. 

Nikki however, in her glorious red glow, re-enters everyone's lives rather quickly. Only this time, she's one of the good guys again. As expected, Mac's inclined to believe Nikki, and give her a second chance. Jack shakes his head in disappointment when she returns; yes, he'd be happy for Mac in any other given situation, but this is Nikki. Even if she's working for the CIA, she's betrayed and confused his teammate more than he really needs to be confused and betrayed. He just hoped she'd be gone for longer than this.

Mac lets Nikki kiss him again, whilst patching up her wound. He really wants to believe her words, love her like he used to. He just can't. Not anymore. So he kisses her back, thinking that maybe, maybe, he can learn to love her shade of red again.

Nikki gets framed and arrested by Patricia, and for a brief moment, she looks back. She wants to scream at Mac, wants to tell him none of this is true. He'll figure it out on his own though, but she shivers at the look of betrayal in his eyes. Again. So when Patricia Thornton's lies are discovered, she smiles, almost laughs. No more lies.

She kisses Mac again, when it's all over. Her lust and the heat of the moment made her forget back then, but she feels it now. Through his kiss, she knows she's lost him. 

Nikki promises Mac that they'll take it one step at a time. They both know they won't. 

She steps out of the room and her eyes meet yours. As Nikki walks down the corridor, she pats your shoulder.

“He's all yours,” she murmurs, ignoring the slight blush on your cheeks. She's a fighter, but a fight against Eros is a fight long lost. 

It takes another two years, 78 missions, 1502 text messages and seven experimental dates (and by experimental, I mean experimenting in the love department, as well as blowing things up in the name of science, because, well, nerds), but you get there eventually. 

On the night of the fourth of January, 2018, you two lie on Mac's DIY self-heating mat, watching the meteor shower. Mac's arm is wrapped around you while you're cuddling, head on his chest. 

“You know, Nikki told me something, back when Thornton was arrested. She said: ‘He's all yours.’ I wonder if she knew that this would happen,” you say.

“I think everyone knew, at least before we did.”

“We're stupid, aren't we? We've known each other since high school, and yet we don't realise we love each other until we're both adults!” you laugh. Mac turns to look at you for a moment, before capturing the moment, and you, in a sweet, breathtaking kiss. His soft lips touch yours gently as he goes in for another one, and then another one. He moves slowly, as if you were the most fragile, precious thing in the entire world. As if you were his world. You are.

“What was that for?” you ask him, still panting slightly. Mac only smiles. Oh, how he loves the Red of your lips, your hair, your cheeks. Oh, how he loves you. 

“Making up for lost time, sweetheart.”

Aight people! 

It took me a while, but I finished it! I think MacGyver isn't the most popular TV show out there, but I like it. So, if you do read it, tell me what you think of it! Send me comments, asks, requests, shtuff...

Have a lovely day!

[oolathurman]

For Odd OC ask : D 🍉 🍪 🍾 you chose who!

Odd OC Asks

Thanks for asking! :o Gonna do these for Xyraan.

🍉: Does your OC have a particular piece of jewellery that they always wear or refuse to part with?

I feel like, while Xyraan lives luxuriously, she also tries to live frugally and will hold on to old things in case they became useful again. She didn't have fine things growing up and she and Davi ended up McGyvering a lot of things, and holding onto more. As a result, she'll hold onto old jewelry until it's literally falling apart, see if she can get if fixed, and wear it again.

🍪: What is something that's sentimental to your OC?

I like to imagine that one day she stole one of Jarrok's sweatshirts and refuses to return it. She'll let him wear it so it smells like him again but then she'll steal it right back. Even when she's running away from her problems (sometimes to other planets) she brings it with her. Davi will call her out but she ignores them and just say she likes it so much because it's comfy and soft.

🍾: Does your OC believe in luck? If so, do they have any charm or ritual they do before a stressful event?

No, she's not. She might say things like 'knock on wood' and stuff like that but she doesn't really believe any of it. And even though she acknowledges that the Force exists she never really thought of it as something that can be manipulated for luck or good fortune. She isn't force-sensitive either so that doesn't help her dismissal of it.

[raviolirash]

I do imagine the "tear stains" to not be tear and eyeliner stains, but a sclera tattoo that has gone horribly wrong.

Vėlė's (my drow's) eyes are cursed, and are essentially dense smoke in shape of eyeballs.

Giltinė's (durge) eyes is taking five shots of sewer water, McGyvering a tattoo gun using whatever can be found in Gortash's workstation, finding a mirror, and saying "fuck it, we Bhaal".

I do not have the courage to look up how sclera tattoos are actually done but I assume it goes something like that.

The raw hate of life, reared from the miracle of death.

[appleteeth]

For @trekkies-unite! In no order and there's loads I can add to this, but these are the ones in my brain right now:

1) He was a bit of an arrogant prick before the accident. Not like a complete bastard but just a little too sure of himself and certain. This comes back now and again ("How many PHDs does Banner have? Seven.") but he checks himself because of guilt.

2) He absolutely wants to be touchy with people all the time. Like, just constantly interacting and being physical. He got really handsy with Thor on Sakaar because he had been Hulk for so long who has no such inhibitions and honestly? Thor is pretty.

3) After a Hulk-out, it takes him a while to get used to his body again. He thinks he still has these massive limbs and that he's going to reach out and punch a table across a room. Hence why in AOU he was ducking underneath a lamp that was too tall for him to walk into.

4) He is fiercely independent to a complete fault. Like, he will go out and buy a stepladder before he simply asks someone to grab something from up high. He slowly begins to unlearn that with the Avengers who just want him to know they're there for him.

5) His PTSD manifests in nightmares that make him jump out of bed and just start running. He's been found three floors down, hiding in a corner more times than he'd admit, and JARVIS/FRIDAY know to speak calmly with him until he knows he's safe and can go back to bed.

6) When he falls in love he falls HARD. Like with Betty he was doing so many nice things for her she got suspicious, like nobody is that considerate. Now with Thor he was worried he was going overboard at first but Thor loves affection and is just bowled over by all the kind things Bruce does for him.

7) He can throw together a meal from leftovers and he can McGyver things like cars and computers to get them working in a pinch. But just don't ask him to bake. He takes it as seriously as a science experiment and can be in the kitchen for days just working on one cupcake.

8) So there is mention of Rick Jones in TIH film but he's not included in Bruce's origin. So my idea is that Rick signed up for the human trial (because he needed the $200). Bruce realised something was off about the test but not what exactly, but Ross threw his weight around and threatened to fire Bruce if he didn't go ahead. So Bruce paid Rick from his own pocket and put himself forward for the trial, not wanting this kid to get hurt if his bad feeling was correct, but also still naive and proud enough to assume it would go fine.

9) He will make and join in with jokes about himself to no ends. But mention his parents or his upbringing and he will get as angry as it's possible to be without turning green. (I also think nobody knows what happened to him, as he spent a long time wiping that information from his files. If people find out it's by finding the court case information by chance, but other than that, it will take a while before he will open up. I imagine one day he just spills it all out in one long run-along sentence in front of the whole team who gape in shock.)

10) He doesn't drink but he does smoke weed, but not to the extent people think. It's usually when his brain is wired and Hulk is on edge too. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but he usually gets giggly and watches shit action films and it's a great distraction.

11) He tries to keep a vegan diet, but if he's had a long time in the backseat of his brain, he needs protein and FAST and he's not with the avengers, he may forgive himself a cheat day.

12) He hates press conferences or any interviews that aren't about his scientific work, so if pressed he gets Hulk to do them. They are always beyond hysterical and go viral every time, either because Hulk will punch a tank or throw something into space or his answers to questions are amazing. Bruce loves them because not only is Hulk funny but it's a joy to see how far he's come in terms of interacting with others.

13) Bruce still wants kids, he just won't talk about it. Him being a mentor for Kamala brought all those feelings back and now he volunteers to help out the younger supers like it's a chore but it makes him so happy to do so.

the girl who drove away, simple as that, and run away with me?

the girl who drove away: describe a turning point event in your life

Let’s go with a dramatic and vivid one.

Standing up to my dad in mid-September 2010 at the age of 10 years old.

It was probably the most explosive anger I’d felt at him for all the verbal and mental abuse he put me through (not that he’d ever admit it was abuse, i think), and though I didn’t do it in a more mature way (i was TEN, to be fair), it was the point where I couldn’t deny that I had enough. Told him (nearly) everything on how i felt about staying with him, and anger I harboured just before going to sleep (my brother and I were about to go to bed) was so dark, furious and so grim I can’t forget that it felt like so. Not even the colour ‘black’ could explain how angry I was.

If i could put music to how I felt back then, in the moment of standing up, it would have to be the choruses, bridge and final lyrics to ‘I Say No’ from the West End version of ‘Heathers.’

Long story short, I think my confrontation helped the custody court case rules last till my 13th birthday, and I’ve rarely seen him in person since. I genuinely hope he’s become a better person.

(Damn, I still have a fair bit to work through with it, I still cried a little thinking about it, but if I can’t deal with it between me and God, it’ll never be dealt with.)

simple as that: how do you enjoy bonding with people?

My social skills are still kinda rough from years of not learning as I went (being on the spectrum with trauma does that to ya, babyyyyyy), but I notice I just… can’t shut up if I start talking. If there’s something we can meet and talk on, talking about it is just a sheer joy. Sometimes the conversation might bounce around from topic to topic indiscriminately, but I can handle that. Otherwise, I just share memes and occasionally recipes I’ve (also occasionally) done.

My biggest delight of social interaction from irl people in recent memory was my essay partner for one of my subjects last trimester. Most of the time we’d organised discord calls to write the sucker together, but sometimes I’d share a video, a meme or something funny relating to the essay at hand and we’d go down a bit of a rabbit hole together. We both laughed and chuckled our heads off at Australian animation dunking on Disney (essay subject, essentially) and his reaction to my McGyvered box brownie recipe (any old box gf stuff will do, add marshmallow fluff, caramilk chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, maple syrup and vanilla essence to it, with more flour to balance the wet ingredients) was worth it.

run away with me: if you could live anywhere, where would you want to live?

That’s a very good question! Honestly? No clue. I have so many ideas for living spaces and countries I just can’t pick.

However, I can split this into ‘permanent home’ residence vs ‘travelling home’ residence.

So for more permanent home kinda stuff, I’d love to live somewhere with a lot of green, fresh air and clean skies to stare out into the stars at night. I could imagine a treehouse kinda cabin in the woods, with enough childhood whimsy and playground-level clambering to make the place more fun. Maybe some academia stuff to mix is up.

Plus, heights aren’t that scary to me. I’ve once had a controlled freefall drop of 21 metres from platform to ground (i had safety measures such as a harness and ropes n stuff), and I stepped off the edge without a countdown. I’d imagine someplace like New Zealand’s South Island or a Romanian forest would do the trick for this kinda place.

If I were to have more of a travelling home residence, I’d LOVE to convert a van into a cozy cabin on the inside. Actually, it’d be more idealised to have more of a mini-sci-fi-spaceship to fly around earth in, with the same van life conversion on the inside. Same kind of cozy cabin interior living, just more space and extra coolness. I wouldn’t mind becoming a conspiracy theory/cryptid while I made neighbours from the US, NZ and Aus double-take at what was there before, but isn’t anymore.

Plus, the potential meeting online friends IRL! If only this were real!

[dramarising-replacement]

imagine thanking FR from the bottom of your heart they added database access, when most non-pet games already have this functionality from the beginning. the order, logic, and pace of BASIC features on virtual pet sites astounds me with how prehistoric things are.

inb4 "sorry you have shit taste in games" and should stop playing: lol k. I'm voicing my opinion, that how in the world with the income these sites make and distribution of funds to creative and technical, all of these pet sites are lacking.

When you spend a percentage of your time utilizing OFFSITE TOOLS like Google Sheets and items.kanojo, there's room for improvement. The fact that FR warns and silences anyone who mentioned kanojo shows that FR can't be civil on the topic that their site is so cumbersome that users literally improve their lives by mcgyvering whole other sites into the gameplay. (lo and behold, they released databases....after how long was kanojo around???)

Positive note: it's nice to see that FR scaled up to accommodate 1000s of users and millions of dragon entries. That's more than what most pet games can say. A shame they can't handle their own data load even with all the gem money and ad rev, but whatever the art is nice and people love this stuff. I guess it's a glimmering gem in this virtual pet niche.

The Three R’s: Republicans, Reagan, and Russia.

For the record, before I proceed with my rambling and somewhat facetious post, I am neither a Republican nor a Democrat. I claim no part in any political party, as I believe the very idea of a political party is antithetical to the ideals behind this country.

The late seventies through the eighties were every bit as weird and schizophrenic a time as you can imagine. It was a time of growing social and geopolitical awareness, and yet it was also a time of growing mega corporations and greed. It was a time of bizarre fashion trends and giant hair. It was truly a strange and rapidly changing world.

Though we did not yet have the internet, news and information was starting to spread quicker across the globe than ever before. The advent of cable and satellite television, which became commonplace in most homes, and the news channels that then became available helped see to that. World events often became interwoven with cultural and entertainment events. Yet, it was still in many ways the last decade of innocence in the US. Innocence born of ignorance yes, but innocence nonetheless.

Anyone who grew up, or came of age as they say during that time period knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, three things to be true:

1. We absolutely would have flying cars by the year 2000.

2. Madonna was nothing at all like a virgin. and...

3. The Russian was the enemy of all good people in the world.

The Russian was a massive monster of a being. Ten feet tall, with rippling muscles and could bend steel bars in his bare hands. He could chew broken glass and nails with no problem. He was a virtually unstoppable beast, maybe not even human, with bulletproof skin and was determined to destroy the world and all of the good people within it.

Who, one wonders, could possibly stand up to such a beast? Well, that answer was simple: The American Cowboy.

Now, the proper period of cowboy and western movies and shows had of course passed. However, the idea behind the American Cowboy remained. He was a tough mans man. The kind that was intrinsically good simply because he was the American Cowboy. He was all grit, charm, machismo and willpower, possessing not an ounce of fear.

Clearly, I am being a bit cheeky here but this was, essentially, what the eighties gave us. These tropes were everywhere. The American Cowboy as the hero defeating the red threat was everywhere. From movies, to TV shows, to books and music and even comic books and cartoons. This was the narrative everywhere you turned. Oh, it needn't be an actual cowboy. It didn’t need be an actual Russian as the enemy. There could be, and were, stand ins where required.

We had the A-Team. McGyver. Michael Knight. John Mcclane. GI Joe. Even Han Solo and Captain Kirk. Almost to a T, across the board, they embodied the American Cowboy ideal. Full of swagger and arrogance, charm and charisma and unwavering when faced with the enemy that would do us harm. Again, not always The Russian per se, but something that was often a thinly veiled allusion to The Russian.

All of these ideas and ideals were being spoon fed to us for years. All under the guise of entertainment. The message, however, was clear. The country bought in to it, hook, line and sinker.

Now, through the lens of that cultural fascination, lets take a look at one President Ronald Reagan.

No other President in modern times oozed the persona of the American Cowboy like Reagan did. He virtually rode in on his high horse, six shooter on his hip and hat held high. He was absolutely THE American Cowboy ideal. Granted, he was an actor by trade and had the experience of playing actual cowboys in movies.

That is the same charisma and grit he brought to the presidency.

Reagan, as The American Cowboy, went toe to toe with The Russian. The battles, of course, were epic. Yet, The Cowboy never wavered. He stood up to The Russian at every turn. The Cowboy showed no fear. Had no doubts about his course. The American people cheered him on.

Reagans perceived legacy is as the man, who through pure strength of will, collapsed the Berlin wall. Though it occurred under his successor and years after he left office, Reagan is accepted as the one who brought down the Soviet Union. The American Cowboy had, for all intents and purpose, slain The Russian beast.

Now, I am not going to bother getting in to truth versus fiction in this particular post, because that isn't the point. The point here is entirely about what was perceived to be true. To this day, Republicans see Reagan as one of their greatest heroes. In fact, you would be hard pressed to find a sitting Democrat in office that would deny him that legacy.

Whether truly earned or not, is irrelevant. That legacy is still accepted by most, particularly in the Republican party, today. The Republicans greatest hero is the man responsible for the defeat of Russia.

Again, to make sure we are all following this point: The Republicans absolutely hero worship President Ronald Reagan for defeating Russia. The greatest enemy of the U.S. as they were viewed throughout the 80's.

Once more, with feeling...The Republicans still claim their great hero, Ronald Reagan, to be a great hero because he defeated the greatest evil they saw in modern times...RUSSIA.

Are we following this point well enough now?

Lets fast forward to...well...now.

Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell are the current leaders of the Republican party. Both of these men have clear, demonstrable and well documented ties to Russia. The NRA, arguably the special interest group with the most sway among the Republican party, also has clear, demonstrable, and well documented ties to Russia.

So, to keep track here, the party who claim and worship the legacy of President Ronald Reagan...he who was the American Cowboy and the great hero of our time who defeated The Russian...is the same party today that is beholden to Russia.

Does anyone scratch their heads at this?

This is nearly one of the plots from the MCU. The evil organization is seemingly defeated, only to spring up years later in control of the same group that was seemingly responsible for its defeat. To make matters worse, the Republican party has had that happen twice! Two separate former enemies have infiltrated the Republican party and guided it off the rails. Both Russia, and Nazi white supremacist hate groups have done the same thing. Now, the two interests have co mingled so much within the party, it has become impossible to figure out what, if anything, the actual party might stand for today.

I do know one thing, however. The American Cowboy, the Republicans great hero of old, would absolutely not stand for the Russian involvement of today. In the 80s, had there been even the slightest hint of an insinuation that any politician, especially a Republican, had any sort of ties to Russia they would have been immediately dismissed from consideration if not outright actually tarred and feathered.

Today though, in the year 2019, both of the leaders of the party and the most powerful special interest group within the party are openly and undeniably connected to Russia.

Had you told a Republican from the 80's this would happen in the future, they would rightly never believe it to be possible. Had you shown Ronald Reagan that his party, while still claiming him as their hero, would one day straight up piss all over the legacy they claim to worship by getting in bed with his great enemy he would likely have just given up. What would be the point of his great victory and legacy if his party would just one day sell their very souls to the enemy he spent his presidency fighting?

Yes the self same people who had no trouble believing we would have flying cars within twenty years could never have imagined their party being taken over by the same people they were fighting against.

That should tell you something.

Republicans, your greatest hero would be very ashamed of what you have allowed to happen. If Republicans themselves still held on to any of their so called conservative values rather than falling prey to the inherent tribalism mentality the party system breeds they too would feel a great swell of shame and do something to correct the errors of their party.
