in recon by fire when laswell gets abducted, did shepherd tip off al-qatala that she'd be there? bc wasn't it a cartel outpost? why was al-qatala there? i know they were working together but why is it al-qatala specifically that takes her instead of it being a group effort?

it would be a huge benefit to have laswell, and by extension price and gaz, out of the picture while he scrambles to fix his mess since she is pretty much his biggest obstacle (and knows it which is why he’s so quick to not let her near the missiles)

the way he tries to drag out her rescue - "we can't just send in the cavalry, these things take planning and preparation" - only to agree to send price and gaz by themselves, presumably thinking it would just be them (since he doesn’t seem to believe in allies or trust) and they'd either take a long time and be preoccupied or fail to get her back altogether and die in the process

it takes these huge pieces off the board; other than the missiles themselves his only obstacle is ghost and soap and his next step is to take them out. the way he doesn't hesitate to put them under a kill order makes you think he expected the other half of the 141 to also be dead

My fatal flaw is wanting sonic team to adhere to Sonic's core character traits while not adhering to them myself mostly due to my inability to write smart funnier dialog or even understand quibs or comebacks sometimes

does roommate julia know what she said has reached 105,235 notes

i updated them this morning when it was approaching 100k and posted their response! they go by jay now and are pleased to see people are still enjoying our roommate shenanigans from three years ago. we've both graduated and moved away and are doing Adult Things -- they have a 9-to-5 and I'm in grad school -- but we look back on those days with a lot of fondness bc we were so fortunate to have such a good roommate situation! I miss them to bits

however a caveat to jay's response is that my sibling (who sees jay more frequently than i do at this point) saw the update and said "mellow is not a word id use to describe jay" so. do with that what you will lol

[faunandfloraas]

Love seeing how passionate you guys get about music polls, like it's genuinely fun and interesting to read and learn what people enjoy but it's also the one time I truly feel like a very calm and benevolent monk

hii can you please draw applebees/davesol/soldave/honeycrisp... they are my lifefurce....

Heeeeey anon

Sorry that this legit took so long to get to but this one and another actually stumped me a bit! But lets go ahead and talk some Honeycrisp!

It's funny but as I'm starting to go through ships, I actually find that Sollux is surprisingly moldable to ship with in most quadrants with any character with just a few characters that I think it's pretty obvi he'd be one way or another with them. Dave is one that I can actually see these two being an all-around deal. I think it's actually extremely easy to see either of them together in a red, pale, or pitch manner. Personal opinion though, I think I could see them shift from pitch to pale. However, I do understand the idea of them in red! Trying to go down a little bit of the more romantic route, Dave can somehow get Sollux to be pretty talkative when working if he says the right things. Both of them are pretty tall so there is a pretty frequent amount of them coming up behind the other and attempting to use them like an armrest just for the hell of it. Sollux's constant amount of electronic-like noises from his powers is actually fuel and used snippets in some of Dave's music. I see them being somewhat private about affections towards one another mostly because they don't feel like its anybodys business to glimpse into those parts from the outside of their lives. They're really casual about it though.

Are there any ships you hate? I can name a few myself..

i wouldn't say hate. i "get" some ships less than other ships. i'm an annoying multishipper and you could probably sell me on most ships lol. but some i just get grabbed by less, don't get at all, understand but find boring, etc etc. i don't think i have enough vendettas in this fandom to feel i really hate a ship rn. but there are tropes i like less even if it's true to the source material ykwim, and sometimes seeing an annoying fanon of a ship i didn't care much about before makes me sour on it... but my heart is open! doki!

Hi Tumblr! Yet another robot trans girl here [vtuber flavored] to bring to you a weird habit I [retrace] have! I like to write poetry in hexadecimal as a way to keep practice with translating it. Why hexadecimal? Why make sure that that's a thing that I do despite no real practical reason for me to know how to do it? IDK just felt like it. Do you want some examples? Well you're getting em anyway!

This was one of the first I did and I'm quite proud of it! I was re-reading Moby Dick and playing Library of Ruina [very good game] when I just kinda decided I would do this and it has become a regular practice for me though I only recently started sharing them [good Segway for the second one I'm sharing here and the 6th I wrote]

This one is a bit dramatic I know but this was written not too long after I realized I had an easier time expressing myself when I wrote in hexadecimal! As odd as it is it really worked for me so I ran with it as a venting strategy. I know there's probably some psychological analysis you can do about me actively encrypting my complaints and frustration but I don't really have the time to do that analysis right now...

Anyway you may have noticed the weird comma placement and that was very intentional as this was intended to have rhythm to it like spoken word poetry [or rap] and I thought that was a neat detail to highlight!

What I find so interesting about this is the way it came about... I didn't tell myself I had to do it, didn't provide insensitive, and didn't even know this was a thing I could do! I just kinda did it and I think in a way it makes me feel more confident in myself! There's something so psychologically pleasing about just kinda doing something without any real reason or goal in mind moreso to just do and I think the idea isn't normalized enough. It truly helps with my anxiety in a very big way.

SO THERE'S THIS APOSTATE NAMED MORRIGAN.......

[thanatos-nightshade]

Im so sorry i played Our Life: beginnings and always and not only has it sucker punched me with bittersweet feelings of life and change and relationships but its also thrown me into brain rot hell of it. Im sorry if ocean boy cove floods your feed get it? Its a pun

[bmpmp3]

miyamai moca has knocked my socks into the stratosphere LIKE i liked her voice from the demos (and i also just like a lot of the demo songs as songs in general) but like in those she mostly sounded like a solid but relatively standard medium toned fem vocal BUT now that coverists have gotten her and started pushing her vocal modes further.... holy shit she is EXPRESSIVE

[ceramicbeetle]

tic disorders are so Fun bc they are So comorbid with like. autism and ocd. and they are So fucking transmissible. watching YT vids with a guy who happens to have an eye blink tic and Whoops! picked it right up. and so the whole comorbid thing it’s like a petri dish of “Oh so you’re faking all this shit for attention then? you see someone else do it you do it?? bitch???” intrusive thoughts. and tics are different from compulsions but the stress of intrusive thoughts can also make tics worse which turns the whole thing into a perpetual motion machine. and so i get to chase that tail all over again now and i’m also stuck blinking a weird new way i wasn’t doing last week. gotta love it!!

[womb-complex]

Oh god I was listening to some bedroom pop and like soft indie stuff oh boy now I remember why I despise that genre

[merkerlerspeaks]

Thinking about just in general gentle men again. I had a whole essay on like....why this is and my history with men being either harsh with me in the past or otherwise somehow distant but I decided I didn't wanna get into that on here right now.

I just appriciate gentle men. Gentle, kind, patient, non-judgemental, meek men. Or at least men who make efforts to be that way. It warms my heart any time I see a man act that way and straight up baffles me sometimes when they actually treat ME that way.

“Hey so like just checking in, you promise me you’d tell me if i overstepped a boundary or made you uncomfortable yeah?” as to say “i just pulled my heart out of my chest and ate it for you to watch and i feel forever changed by sharing this with you. Did you see it? Could you tell? I feel monstrous, but i know you’re not scared of monsters. Can you love me? Will this change things? Is it going to be okay?”

The answer is yes, of course.

It may not always sit exactly as you expect, nor will it always fall just your way, but it is yes, and it will always be enough <3
