Senior House Courtyard (LEGO Contracting Gig™) (2021)

In early May 2021, some of us were only starting to get our first COVID vaccinations, so Steer Roast, the annual tradition from the MIT dorm Senior House since 1963, was virtual for the second year in a row. I took advantage of this to host a virtual event that I billed as "Your friendly neighborhood LEGO contractor--you think it, I build it!" It turned out to be a popular event, inspiring my ever-upcoming plans to do this again on Twitch. The people who came were inspired by the nostalgia of Steer Roasts past, and component by component people described parts of the Senior House Courtyard they wanted me to build. As I built, I would explain my design decisions and ideas, and respond to feedback as I built. So let's dive into this resulting eclectic scene!

First let's talk about this centerpiece--the eponymous steer being roasted. I originally made it a hunk of read meat (ie, a red brick construction featuring red bricks with round holes connected by red 2x4 plates on an axle). I was informed that we actually roast steer legs, and due to a comical miscommunication, I just added red legs to the hunk of meat, having understood that legs are involved somewhere in the process. The spit was over a fire pit comprised of loose red, orange, and yellow 1x1 plates, some smooth, some studded, some angled, to give the impression of embers below. And of course there had to be a few flames shooting up.

The feedback I give myself by building something gives me ideas for general improvements. The constraint as a LEGO contractor is, of course, finding the right bricks in a timely manner. I was able to switch things out and use red bricks with axle holes so that making a rotating spit actually...rotated what was on the spit (wild).

When that was built to everyone's satisfaction, the next suggestion was the courtyard's legendary tire swing. This hopefully answers your question from watching the previous video and wondering what that blue guy is doing. (Disclaimer: blue guy is actually from a Power Rangers Mega Blocks set. Apologies to the LEGO company. My bricks are all from sets I was gifted, and I never get to use a Power Ranger in any context other than here, at virtual Roast, since at in-person Roast several people wear costumes and whatnot. I haven't seen a Power Ranger at Roast though--we usually go for original, unlicensed ideas.) Anyway, just like in real life, the tire swing was attached to a very tall tree with branches very high up.

I am so glad I was organized enough to find the one brick I have with the "rope" (well, string, at this scale) with the hook. I don't really remember which set it came from. Might've been an Avatar: The Last Airbender set. Regardless, I used that and a small rubber wheel to complete the task. (The wheel's size was the best it was going to get in terms of scale and wheels I owned, since the others were too big, but in real life the person would fit into the hole of the wheel.)

The name of the video comes from an...encouragement of sorts throughout the dorm's history. "Give blood to the tree". And wrapping around the tree is indeed how the swinging was done, so, one could see that happening easily. Finally, there was the tree on the left--the courtyard's magnolia tree. I admit, as you can tell from all the previous builds on my blog, I hadn't spent any time making trees before this. Regardless, like with everything else I'd built so far, I talked to the attendees about my build decisions while I was making them, and ended up actually quite satisfied with the results, given the constraints. I knew I had several brown arches and hinges and whatnot, so the real question was just how to compose them organically.

Part of the organic nature of the scene is having a loose flower on the ground, as one would in real life. The flowers were comprised of red translucent round 1x1 plates and white opaque 1x1s, either round or square (depending on how much the flower had bloomed). The leaf details were limited by what I had available, but I think that at least also adds an organic touch to the tree, so i distributed the green 1x1 plates semi-randomly. An important note here is that I had no reference image, so the details of the flowers came from one of the attendees (or, I suppose, one of my clients) describing it verbally as she watched me build. Overall, for the constraints (time, primarily, to think quickly in response to suggestions and work within the limitations of the bricks I already own), I think it turned out pretty well, and all of my clients gave positive reviews. Maybe I'll make some business cards for this gig.

"How about breakfast?" he suggests instead. They wander in and out of cafés before picking something cheerful, yellow, and crammed with equal amounts people and sunlight. When Juno stands in line to order them what passes for eggs here, he catches Nureyev making faces at an alien baby a few tables over, wide eyes, squinting, tongue out, eyebrows wiggling. The baby makes a happy noise and its little gills flap against its smooth skin. When its parent turns around, Nureyev is seriously immersed in a newspaper. Juno turns away again before Nureyev can catch him, and huffs a quiet laugh. Right. Onto the current situation.

He didn't actually have any money, but he figured he'd picked up a trick or two by now, and could score them some… complimentary breakfast. Settling his forearms on the counter, he leans in. Cocky and calm, Steel. "Hey."

The cashier, a blue-scaled creature with fins that drape long over their shoulders - gotta be a health violation in this kitchen, he thinks - closes their second set of eyelids at him and waits for him to order with veiled (hey, get it, because the eyelids are -) disinterest. What the hell, he's in for a challenge.

"On a scale of one to ten, how's the food here?"

"Ten." they say, flatly.

"They pay you to say that?" Good one, Steel, bank on the mutual hatred of authority.

"Yes. Minimum wage, actually. What can I get for you?" He thinks they're smiling, but he's not sure. Juno can hear their irritation, either way, and the wet slap of their tailfin against the floor.

Ah, nevermind. They can just run for it afterwards. He'd wanted to pay, you know, because he's a lady, but petty crime could be romantic. "Eggs."

Their second eyelid slides back over their eye and Juno tries not to shudder with the full force of their wide, fishlike eyes on him. They look disgusted and half-angry, half ready to laugh. Like he'd told them he wanted to eat that baby. "What."

"You know, like -" He's struck with a thought. Fish guy. Ocean smell. "Oh, is that insensitive?"

The gills of his fun new mistake go rigid, and their tail comes up to poke him in the chest, forcing him backward. 

"Hey, watch it - yikes, how'd you sleep with that thing -"

Their nostrils (he assumes) flare, and he's pretty sure he's about to get tossed by their tail into the big steaming pot he can see through the hanging beads between them and the kitchen, when he's saved. Like magic, Nureyev appears at his elbow.

"Excuse my partner, Mxter, he's old fashioned - we're slowly getting introduced to new cultures, aren't we, Arnie?" His smile, patronising and patient, tells Juno to shut the fuck up before you make things worse.

And then, of course, they get worse anyway.

Though it's only a few seconds, Juno remembers the uptick in warning signs like a slow but surely shifting needle on a shit-fuck-o-meter. Low pressure builds behind his eyes; he instinctively looks for Mick to make sure he isn't doing something stupid during the alert before he realises, no, he's not in Old Town, and there's no way this planet even needs a dome that would bend and groan under change in atmospheric pressure; not like the one Juno knows back on Mars. No, this is different. A high-pitched whine joins the choir, and Nureyev keeps on smiling, but there's a crease in his manicured brow, and Juno finds himself gripping the other man's wrist in the split-second that he has to react, his body knowing intuitively what his mind is scrambling to catch up with.

"DOWN!" he bellows, just before the explosion rocks through the building, throwing him against a chair.

im glad!!

yes, i have already done all my self care tasks! thanks for checking in as well<3

good night for real this time! i best not see you reblogging again little mxter!

I'M FREEEE

I knew she was trouble the moment I walked in. For one reason, and one reason only: he was grabbing all the third person pronouns before I could, leaving me to narrate this scene like I was the protagonist and not the first manifestation of the plot Mxter Noir Detective was about to find themself in. If I wanted to restore the narrative to the hands it's supposed to be in, I needed to find pronouns xe didn't jive with, and fast.

Introduction!

I just realized I didn't have one of these so gonna fix that real quick for some info.

Salutations anyone and everyone reading this and welcome to Sentinel Security, and where you can find where the Mocked n Monitored AU started. I'm Mxter Mystery or to fit the blog you can call me Sentinel.

What is this AU?

The Mocked & Monitored AU (Named by @gamie99, thank you very much btw, sorry this is the second thing), is basically a universe where the Alliance lost the war during around after episode 47. This will however be taking place after a decade of the original conquest and explore a more dystopia society type thing rather than the classic war story.

Canon characters translated into the AU /Nicknames.

Just some simple nicknames and to clear up who's who. Any other character you see named are most likely OCs.

[Cobalt = Titan Cameraman] [Garnet = Titan Speakerman] [Amethyst = Titan TVman] [Dual = Plungerman] [Polycephaly =. . you know who this goober is, Large TVman.] [Scarlet/Maroon = Assassin Speakerman.] [Jazzpunk = Speakerwoman.] [Flashpunk= TVwoman.] [Cyberpunk = Camerawoman.] [Cocoa = Brown Cameranman.] (more to come)

Interaction/Ocs!

Just like any askblog, I'm open to questions, suggestions and such. I will also be sending out roleplay/writing prompts which anyone can answer and reblog with their own characters/OCs. I of course will be watching out for any OCs sent within #mocked&monitored. If you want to throw your characters in there, Go right ahead! What are they doing? How have they adapted to this situation? Are they chilling in this new era or are they trying to start a new uprising? It’s up to you. I’ll be sending a roleplay prompt after this shortly.

Disclaimers.

Im putting this here and to get it out of the way. Take everything within this section seriously as I will do the same. Boundaries mean everything to me and I will refuse to touch any topics including stuff you'd find in 18+ corn websites. If any other dark or excessive topics are ever in within these posts, the trigger warnings will be put at the top. I will however try avoid those. I will refrain from answering any adult asks and such.

Thank you for taking the time and care for reading this info card! The next this is currently being worked on, expect one or two things per month, will of course try to produce more but not sure if that will be so. In the meantime, happy writing.

[silenthillmutual]

does anyone have the "woke up mxter freethem" post i need it

[eleemosynecdoche]

I remember when touhoublr mocked people for thinking there was something yonic about magical gaps. Not impressed.

Well thank Christ we've got someone to correct this situation by prissily and anonymously saying that they're "not impressed" with "touhoublr".

I don't care for your attitude, though, mxter. Better posters than you died in the wars over Yukari Yakumo's coochie, and for you to erase their memory, their contributions, and their very existences by calling them a collective "touhoublr" is shameful. Disgusting. 3rd-rate moral scold behavior. Where did you learn how to scold like this? How much did you have to pay for your busybody degree? They overcharged you!

This Is (Almost) Fine / Playing with Fire (2024)

I made this for a challenge I was given (by myself. No one else asked for this.) Someone in the LEGO chat at work posted that they had built a set referencing the "This Is Fine" comic, but it was made by some company other than LEGO. I took it upon myself to make it out of LEGO, without using the image of their set for reference, just that of the original comic. Let's talk about what went into this (almost) fine art.

First things first--here's the original comic:

Credit: KC Green My first step was gathering as many yellow and orange pieces as I owned, since the background fire is actually doing a lot of the heavy lifting in these images. My second step was to go to the Pick-a-Brick wall at both (yes, both) LEGO stores in Manhattan to see if I could find other pieces that could help with the fire and, importantly, the dog. As you can perhaps tell from the final result, I did not find all the pieces I needed for the dog... The second title for this work is "Playing with Fire" since I spent a lot of time iterating on finding the most organic, yet cartoonish, style of fire that I could make from the LEGO bricks at hand. It is easiest to see in the first picture that each of the 3 fires was constructed differently. They were actually my top 3 out of 6 or 7 candidates, with my favorite probably being the one on the left. With both the fire and the clouds, I wanted to leverage the 3D medium I was using while still being true to the original image. As a result, I added depth while keeping the color palette minimal.

In the end, the melting dog could really just represent the implied third panel of the comic.
