#ship salvage

[tomreacts]

This is a picture of a German warship being salvaged by the Royal Navy in 1933. Anyone have a link to a site or video showing how they managed this?

I'd go searching but I worry about what the algorithm would start suggesting.

Salvaging the Ship of Theseus au! Posting on the sketch acc because i haven’t decided on anything permanent yet.

Emmet’s having a grand time guys.

He’s doing great!

On a side note, here’s Ingo!

Ingo’s fighting very hard to retire from Wardenship after seeing a whole train fall from the sky and land on the other side of Hisui. Unfortunately, this is a track he can not disembark until either him or Sneasler become permanently indisposed.

He’s also doing great! Don’t worry about it!

PLEASE DO NOT TAG AS YOUR OWN OC OR PAIRING.

Nathan and Ruben share a bond more powerful than most; mutual understanding through past experiences no one should ever have to go through, and through past actions so horrible they cannot be spoken of. Their grief and the blood on their hands binds them to the STEM technology they created, which has alienated them from the rest of the world— but they give each other the comfort they have both longed for so desperately for years, and that is all they need. They are each other's counterpart; you cannot imagine one without the other, like two sides of the same coin. Through their pain, their grief, their desire, and their regret, they have become one.

more monochrome practice I suppose

I think its important to remember that Nandor and Guillermo knew each other for many years. A lot of it with a great power differential between them. When you consider how slowly their relationship is detoriating, it doesnt really matter if it was or couldve been romantic. The pain of watching the bond that maybe never really worked die, its hard enough and its full of grief. There really is mourning in the loss of a relationship, and I think its starting to be realized. And the realization is very ugly.

I get why people say Wyll/Karlach is enemies-to-lovers but it's missing too many of its signatures for me to agree

By nature, E-t-L's are slow burn. A good chunk of the story waits for one party to discover they're on the wrong side/both parties to realize they have more in common with each other than their factions, then a whole other chunk is dedicated to them learning how to trust each other. The higher the stakes in the story, the slower the burn

Yet everything between Wyll and Karlach is revealed and resolved in a single conversation. There are no lasting consequences of that initial animosity. Both are too good to hold grudges and all the fault lies firmly in hands not their own. Karlach trusts Wyll instantly and he her. Their friendship is so immediate that it's easy to forget that we met Karlach with the intent to kill her

And then there's the source of their quarrel. Wyll was led to believe Karlach's a devil seeking destruction and Karlach was just trying to go home. The thing that sets them against each other isn't their own beliefs or loyalties or anything deep seated and personal, it's the chain of command, something they're both eager to be rid of by the time we meet them. While it gives them something in common, it leaves them with nothing to unpack or overcome together

Compare that to the king of E-t-L's, Zutara of Avatar the Last Airbender. Zuko spent most of the show's runtime trying to capture the Avatar to guarantee the Fire Nation's total conquest, something Katara wants to prevent at all costs. When the two are stuck together by happenstance, they lash out at each other only to bond over their lost mothers. Then Zuko betrays her, something Katara does not forget and does not forgive until he proves himself much, much later. Afterwards, they support each other, watch over the others together, and make a damn good team against Azula. Perfect, should have been canon, fuck Bryke

Honestly, I think Wyllach is just Faerûn's version of a meet-cute

what’s up with the naruto databooks??? I’ve seen people claim that they aren’t canon but from other sources I see that kishi does write them. Honestly my biggest issue with this whole thing is when certain people in the naruto fandom (shippers) solely rely on the databooks to prove an argument instead of using the main material

They databooks are not canon; they're compiled by Kishimoto's staff. And it makes sense. Kishimoto had to work overtime to push out weekly chapters it wouldn't make sense for him to be heavily involved in pushing out a 100+ pages of extra content. That's why they are also rife with contradictions and inconsistencies. But that is exactly why people rely on them instead of using what's presented by the actual source material. Because why pay attention to the manga individuating Naruto as the one who will help ease Sasuke's loneliness when you can pick out a databook quote that says "Sakura filled Sasuke's lonely existence with love" (a quote where they conveniently leave out the next part that states Sasuke couldn't requite her feelings).
