You know. Sometimes I forget that Donut has a bloodlust to rival Sarge.

RvB has some of the worst takes ever but they really got it right with making Carolina and Wash's relationship explicitly platonic

[sharkface]

Got asked for sources on Wash and Carolina's ages.

From the fan guide:

According to the same timeline, there are five years between Alpha's arrival at Blood Gulch and the Director's death, which would make her canonical age at that time 34, this is supported by her data in RVB14's 13th episode.

Also from the section of the fan guide in a transcript of an interview between Wash and the Counselor convincing him to join Freelancer:

Leonis Minoris is a canonical system in Halo, the event he is referring to occured in 2537. Being generous and saying he enlisted at 18 and finished his basic training shortly before the system was destroyed, his birth year can be no later than 2519, making him at minimum 33 at the start of the BGC and 38 at the time of the director's death.

Things I would immediately buy and bring to you if we lived near each other (The noise I made when I saw this in a charity shop lol)

and i totally get that ive come across it in the wild a few times over the years and every time my brain ceases thinking and just goes !!!!

I'm thinking about price again my dudes. like I honestly don't think he was a bad guy or that he had bad intentions. he—like everyone else involved in project freelancer—choose to wholeheartedly believe in the director, and he genuinely thought that an out of the box/unconventional solution like project freelancer could've been the key to winning the war.

I also think that he did genuinely want the best for the freelancers, and that his psychological experiments were not intended to result in the outcomes that they did. I don't think price wanted to see /his/ freelancer agents that he personally hand-picked fail—or continually be put into positions that would result in failure, but, unfortunately, he was at the mercy of the director's whims and a fundamentally broken system as much as the agent's themselves were.

when I look at the way he interacts with wash in recovery one and s6, I don't see someone who is doing what he is solely due to underlying ulterior motives. like don't get me wrong, price didn't trust wash, and the extensive therapy sessions did have hidden agendas, but I think he really did want to see wash up and running again, and he does express some level of remorse over the whole epsilon incident along with south betraying wash and shooting him in the back. but again, unfortunately for price, he's dealing with a man who already had an inherent dislike of people poking around inside his head, who also doesn't want to beat around the bush and deal with all of price's bullshit therapy jargon because he's fine, so just give him a gun and tell him where to shoot.

at the end of s6, price wanted to negotiate with wash and meta, but unfortunately (for the umpteenth time), he was dealing with 3 people who were far past the point of negotiating and already had their minds made up. wash was prepared to die if it meant the destruction of freelancer and the meta, the meta was prepared to do anything he was asked if it would lead him to the alpha, and the director was prepared to continue using his agent's to carry out his personal agenda and eliminate those who got in his way.

then price gets sent to jail, left to rot by the man who he trusted. some years pass and he hears about how a group of colorful soldiers brought the director to justice, and then the prison transport ship he's called home gets hijacked by some mercenaries, and finding himself free (relatively speaking) for the first time in a very long time, he decides he's not taking any chances.

sharkface was doomed to die—price made sure to direct his single focused rage and desire for revenge towards agent carolina, for she had always been an empathetic and deeply caring woman even if she wasn't the best at showing it, and her competitive nature was an easy and obvious exploit. unfortunately for sharkface though, with all of his attention on carolina, that meant that agent washington would fall off his radar, and he would have no problem delivering the finishing blow that carolina herself couldn't—wash is a pragmatic man first and foremost, and he has no qualms about killing people if they pose a danger to himself and those close to him, and unlike carolina he only let's his emotions get the better of him in the field when he can logically justify his actions to himself as being unrelated to his feelings.

locus is a man who has been irreparably scarred by the great war along with so many others, and he has no sense of identity outside of being a soldier. his interest (and subsequent disappointment and anger) over agent washington not accepting him as a fellow soldier is very telling. price wonders what locus would think if he told him that agent washington had been court-martialed and demoted prior to being recruited for freelancer for disobeying orders and attacking his CO.

when locus has a sudden interest in the meta, he decides to take the opportunity to sow the seeds of doubt and open locus' eyes to the truth of his partnership with felix, and how the other man wants locus to stay a broken, mindless soldier when he does not need to be one. after all, price is and always will be a counselor, and while he thoroughly failed at his job in the past due to things that were both in and out of his control, here he sees a chance to do some good and make amends on his own terms.

Ma nouvelle BD s'intitule La Panne et elle est NUMÉRIQUE !!!

Dans une cage d'escalier où l'obscurité aiguise l'imagination, une électricienne débarque avec ses outils et rêvasse sur chaque palier. Qui n'a jamais eu envie d'observer discrètement ce qui se passe derrière les portes fermées, de découvrir l'intimité d'inconnus partageant un immeuble ? Chez les voisins, l'herbe a toujours l'air plus verte, plus confortable, parfaitement éthique, bio et recyclée ! Pourtant, si l'on cherche un peu, il n'est pas impossible qu'on éclaire certaines zones d'ombres. 

Elle se lit, se clique et se scrolle chez la Collection RVB (et c'est po cher du tout)

Update

I am still lost, no one knows I'm here, and after much consideration I need a name for my floating island, and I am taking suggestions. If there are no suggestions then the island is gonna get whatever name I find in this stupid book I nabbed off of Ada. If I happen to not like any name's in this book I will probably just cry myself to sleep or something, probably won't cry just... die inside.
