Drunken Tumbles Dooble: "It crawls on it's tongue"

this is a weird one, but the general concept is:

“what if a manatee just fucking exploded?”

Design Notes:

So basically it swims upside down with its tongue in the sand sifting particles with cilia action from the papillae of its tongue up to its tiny mouth. The tongue is partially covered by multilobed lips that help with filtering particles. Two gill-like breathing organs protrude from the nostrils, and the eyes are vestigial and covered by skin. Movement through the sand is done solely through muscular movement of the tongue, so it’s tail and flippers are atrophied and weak.

The lower jaw bone is greatly reduced and teeth migrate from the bone into the thick muscular gums and lips of the lower jaw, forming a flail the animal uses in defensive threat displays.

Get me drunk at the feast commemorating our latest battlefield victory. Have me drink drink after drink until I'm completely out of my mind, brain all fuzzy and warm.

I've been a warrior all my life and I've trained myself to always stay strong and vigilant. But all of this goes out the window sip by sip. I'm all so vulnerable, so impressionable.

In this state, you just have to seize your opportunity. You grab me and take me back to the barracks, where you find it oh so easy to pin me down and breed me. You'll find no resistance from me, just braindead, blissed out moans and begging for more.

how funny is it that I'm listening to Fire4fun by Jhariah while drawing captain underpants. They're like two contrasting themes of media lol

Bård og Vegard Ylvisåker valgte Drammen: – Stas

Drammens Tidende, 22.09.2024 [$] [video]

TV-programmet «Ylvis mot Ylvis» er i gang med sin andre sesong – som nå spilles inn på Tangenkaia i Drammen.

DRAMMEN: Onsdag denne uken strømmet det folk til Tangenkaia – både kjente og ukjente.

I byens nye TV-studio, «Gateway Studios», spilte nemlig TV 2-programmet «Ylvis mot Ylvis» inn første og andre episode av seriens andre sesong.

– Vi har et godt forhold til Drammen, vi har faktisk spilt inn TV her før, men nå er det i et nytt studio og med eget program. Det er stas og det har gått knirkefritt, sier Bård Ylvisåker til Drammens Tidende.

Er med på avgjørelsene

Drammens Tidende møter kjendisbrødrene utenfor studioet – bare få timer før innspillingen gikk av stabelen. Herrene mimrer tilbake til da de var på befaring på Tangenkaia for cirka et halvt år siden.

– Da var det tomt her omtrent, de hadde nettopp sluttet og lage båter, nå er det studio, sier Vegard, og fortsetter:

– Vi har «vampet» det opp det greit i forhold til forrige sesong, det ser «shinet» ut, for å si det mildt.

Brødrene er med på avgjørelsene som skal tas. Både fordi de liker å være med, men også fordi de er en del av produksjonsselskapet. Flere lokaler og studioer ble besøkt – det i Drammen var favoritten, meddeler Bård.

– Vi har også en tanke om at vi er best til å ta avgjørelsene, derfor er vi med, men jeg vet ikke om de andre synes det er gøy at vi er med, sier Vegard og ler.

Drammen trakk det lengste strået

På spørsmål om hva det var som førte til at Gateway Studios trakk det lengste strået, svarer brødrene at det er burger og god parkering i nærheten, samt at det er nære elva.

De ler, før tonen blir mer seriøs:

– Det var et stort lokale, som de holdt på å bygge. Vi kunne være med på praten om hvordan det skulle bli, og vi kjenner de som lagde det. De er flinke folk. Også er det ikke langt fra Oslo, sier Bård, som legger til at det ikke er vanskelig å få programmets gjester til Drammen.

– Det går bokstavelig talt på skinner.

Byen og studioet på kartet

Leder Synneva Erland for kommunikasjon og salg i Gateway Studios smiler over at både «Ylvis mot Ylvis» og Joachim Triers nye film «Sentimental Value» spilles inn på Tangenkaia.

– Det er dette vi jobber for å få til. Det er gøy at vi fikk to så store produksjoner som de første.

Erland sier at produksjonene betyr mye for det nye studioet, som vil sette studioet på kartet. Håpet og målet er at teknologien skal føre til at de forskjellige produksjonsselskapene skal «slåss» om å komme til Tangen fremover.

I tillegg tror hun at produksjonene kan bidra til å sette byen på kartet.

– Det er også noe av hovedmålet vårt, at vi skal bidra og tilføre Drammen noe som gjør byen enda mer attraktiv, sier Erland, og tilføyer at studioet ikke bare er for hemmelige innspillinger, men også for andre ting. Hovedstudioet skal senere huse blant annet konferanser og konserter.

– Det blir også festivaler fremover. Det skal skje masse som skal være åpent for publikum. Vi har også Studio 33 ved siden av som folk kan booke til konserter, seminarer og konferanser. Der har vi en liten klubbscene.

God tone

Onsdag ble to programmer av «Ylvis mot Ylvis» spilt inn – åtte gjenstår. Til tross for at programmet primært lages for TV-seerne, ønsker brødrene at folk kommer på innspillingene.

Det er noe annet å se det i salen, forklarer de.

– Mye av det Vegard gjør blir klippet bort, så det får de anledning til å se, sier Bård.

– Alle mine kvart gode pappavitser blir klippet bort. Mine gullkorn ligger ofte igjen i skuret. De sier ikke at de blir skrinlagt, de blir skurlagt. De blir i Drammen, tilføyer Vegard.

I programmet brødrene hvert sitt kjendislag som konkurrerer i musikalske konkurranser. I hver episode kaster deltakerne seg ut i mange oppgaver fylt med uforberedte opptredener, for å nevne noe.

Bård og Vegard synes det er deilig å være i gang med sesong to. Til tross for at de konkurrerer mot hverandre, forteller duoen at stemningen er god.

– Det beste for programmet er det som gjelder, men når jeg står der inne, da blir jeg irritert når vi ikke klarer det, sier Vegard.

On Fionnian Braids

Preface:

As promised, here's the translated text/essay about the braids!

It actually needed some adjustments and updates, so to speak, since I changed a few things within the story. It might change once more but for now I think I've the concept down

On Fionnian Braids

The Limirian Cut is the most common not only among the military but also among nobles and commoners alike. Short hair lends itself easily to our nation's militaristic ideals. It also lacks individuality. It creates the uniform, orderly look we aspire, but also a certain aspect of sterility. For all of my youth I never questioned the utility of the Limirian Cut, nor did I question the myriad of other styles favored among other nations. To me, it was just different ways to keep one’s hair out of the way. But after I was introduced to my wife, and later I found myself fascinated by her people’s culture, which, while in certain aspects comparable to our, holds vastly different ideals in different aspects of life. Especially the Fionnian men’s traditional hairstyle differs vastly from our own, which I want to shed light on in this text.

The origin of this peculiar way of hairstyle cannot be traced back to its origin. Some say they took their inspiration from the nomads of the Darinda, who allegedly frequented the region of modern-day Fionn before the Elemental Gods were banished. Others say it was their Elemental God, Fionn, who ordered them to adopt this custom out of a whim. The most common explanation I found during my visits to Fionn was that the braids served as means to differentiate families as the Fionnians don’t have the custom of familial last names and instead take on nicknames along the name of the town or village they are from. While generally believed to be the most likely origin among the Fionnians, I am not entirely convinced. But as this topic needs further research I postpone any and all speculation or judgment as of writing this piece.

So I will merely continue to state the facts I was able to verify.

The Cut

The Fionnian Braid, as I will call this hairstyle from now on, can be worn by both sexes. While in the past there had been an enforcement of different cuts for men and women nowadays such a harsh distinction isn’t usually made although most, especially in the countryside still adhere to their old ways.

The man’s cut consists only of the hair at the back of the head being kept long, while the hair at the front will be cut short. The woman’s cut, on the other hand, offers more freedom by being kept either the same as for the men or, as most common nowadays, at varying lengths at the discretion of the woman wearing the braid.

Since the braid looks best with the hair at the back of the head being grown out as much as possible. While less common in the larger cities, in the countryside parents even avoid cutting their children’s hair and allow them to choose how to have it styled.

During my research, I managed to interview also many of the elders who could still remember the famous Fionnian Guard, who had ordered the male cut even for the few women among their ranks. Thusly, many of my peers suspected the resurgence of the male cut even among women, especially in the countryside, as a form of resistance against our nation’s influence. While I was able to see for myself that the Fionnian Braid was growing in popularity, I do not see any reason to force them to abandon the custom. Such force would certainly cause more unrest than allowing them to continue.

The Braid

No matter if man or woman, the Fionnian Braid is always bound in the following manner:

The hair is bound back, and a circular metal clasp is used to keep the hair gathered. The clasp can be ornamental or plain, its main purpose is not only to hold the hair but also the ribbon, which will then be warped around about half to two thirds of the braid. The ribbon itself can be made from a vast different array of fabrics, which are usually determined by the standing and wealth of the person. Although, it’s frowned upon to show one’s wealth by flaunting expensive fabrics or even additional jewelry.

While in modern Fionn the color of the ribbon doesn’t hold much meaning and is left up to the preference of the wearer, in the past it held important meaning and social cues. Not only marked the color the age of the wearer but also their marital status in great detail. The colors and meanings were as follows:

Yellow: only for children and minors

White: single and not seeking a partner

Pink: single and seeking a partner

Light blue: taken but not engaged

Red: engaged

Violett: married

Black: widowed

The ribbon is then clasped with the hair by a wooden or metal clasp, more often than not depicting an oak branch with acorns, as this is the national tree of Fionn. Some people tie the ends of the ribbon below the oak-clasp into a bow, while others braid it into the rest of the hair.

The final part is often just a simple braid, which will be held together by another, smaller clasp either made from wood or metal, which depicts each family’s heraldic beast or symbol. In the case of criminals, this clasp either gets taken away or the identifier will be removed as the ties to the family are severed.
