Columbo and the Knight (1984)

put me in the universe where Columbo ran through the 1980s and had a crossover episode with Knight Rider. I think they deserved it, and I am not just saying that because they're my two favorite Old Shows. @telebeast wrote a little fanfic blurb about it and I HAD to visualize it into a comic (which is also the longest comic I have finished thus far at five pages...), so writing credit goes to them.

[stress relief doodle] just wanted to let you guys know that he’s always had those stupid tassels dw

[sunderwight]

SV AU where Shen Yuan transmigrates into a dragon.

It's not so bad, at first. He's an extremely magical sort of dragon so he can easily take on a humanoid shape, and he has dominion over an entire mountain, with a magical gate that leads to his palace. Said palace has a fully stocked treasury, a library, garden, etc, with the only real downsides being that the place is kind of huge and very difficult for a neet with limited housekeeping or landscaping skills to keep up with. The original dragon had enslaved a bunch of fairy spirits to do it for him, but since Shen Yuan has moral objections to that, he'd let them all go and they'd run off before he could even think to offer to hire any of them as paid employees instead. Not that he can blame them for being in a hurry to get gone.

He does his best, and generally enjoys being a dragon lazing on his mountain, or wandering the beauty of his palace and investigating the books and scrolls kept there. He doesn't actually seem to need to eat or drink, so that's not really an issue, and nobody looks keen to bother him. But after a few months the dust starts to really pile up, and trying to figure out how to do his own laundry without modern equipment leads to several disasters, and even though he doesn't need to eat he's starting to think it would be quite nice to have a fancy sit-down dinner and enjoy it for its own sake anyway. He has an enchanted larder but his food prep skills aren't up to much.

So, Shen Yuan ventures away from his mountain. He keeps to his human disguise when he's not traveling, and at first tries to hire on some help from a nearby city. But when he explains that he lives on the mountain, he realizes the difficulty, because everyone in the area knows that only the dragon lives there. So they all think he's either a liar or a fraud, or some servant of a nefarious supernatural creature angling to trick and possibly devour them.

Shen Yuan tries approaching another town in his dragon form, to see if anyone will actually deal with him if he's being upfront and honest about the situation, but the townspeople just panic. He returns to his mountain to rethink his strategies, and in the meanwhile the alarmed locals hire a swordsman to go after him. The guy gives him a few very painful cuts before Shen Yuan mostly-accidentally sends him careening into a boulder. One broken arm later the swordsman is gently persuaded that the pay he was offered isn't worth the effort on this job, and leaves.

Discouraged, Shen Yuan decides he's gonna give this one last try. He picks the second closest city, flies up, and is like yes hello, yes I am indeed a dragon, no I'm not trying to burn down your walls, yes it would be excellent if you stopped shooting arrows at me, look they don't even get past the scales? It's kind of silly? Okay, yes, thank you very much. Good. Now, the thing is, I'm looking for some people. I want to take them back to my mountain with me, to my incredibly nice palace, and -- what was that? A princess? No no I don't want a princess, what would I even do with one? If anything I'm looking for the complete opposite of a princess!

Anyway, the locals take this to mean that the dragon is demanding a sacrifice in the form of a pretty boy of no particular pedigree, and Shen Yuan takes this to mean that he's finally made his case clear and they're going to dig up someone who is willing to overlook his being a dragon in exchange for free room and board and fair wages out of his massive treasury.

SY's a bit disheartened when the entire city could only apparently turn up one such person -- an underfed teenage boy who looks at Shen Yuan like, despite the situation, he is still expecting to be eaten at any moment. Poor thing! But at least having one servant means he can potentially get more, especially if it all goes well. The lad can tell others that working for a dragon isn't so bad! Well, provided that he doesn't give up in alarm at the state of the mountain palace.

For his part, Luo Binghe at first thinks he's definitely going to get eaten, and then that this dragon is weirdly nice about planning to eat him, and then that maybe the dragon has other (even less savory!) plans for him, until finally he sees the state of the dragon's laundry and the foot-thick layer of dust in the corners, and gets completely distracted. Mortal terror forgotten, those floors should not be that filthy, Lord Dragon respectfully that isn't how anyone should prepare rice either, but oh Binghe has never seen a kitchen so nice before in his life...!

Anyway, needless to say, it works out just fine.

sometimes philza would hear the mighty god technoblade talking to himself. only late at night or when he believed the older couldn’t hear him. the language was something phil couldn’t understand, but he had heard bits and pieces of it in his brief travels within the nether.

at the beginning of the antarctic empire, techno speaks with phil mainly through short sentences and a lot of vague miming. for a while, phil believed that the silence of the supposed blood god was to invoke fear in anyone who opposed him. he quickly learns that the hybrid was quiet and short with his words due to his lack of understanding of the language everyone around him was speaking. he watched the hybrid during the important meetings between the empires and countries headed by well-spoken and educated presidents and kings. his red and gold eyes dancing around the room, loosing focus quickly. whenever anyone pointed a question towards him, he would just make a noise and turn to phil to give their answer.

as they get closer, phil begins to teach the hybrid the ins-and-outs of the language as best as he can. he learns that techno was not only incredibly intelligent but also picked up the teachings quickly. he began reading pretty much anything he could get his hands on, sometimes a knock would come on phil’s door late in the night. groggily, he would open the door to find a wide awake technoblade who would show the older a word or phrase he couldn’t understand. wanting to understand everything he could. he craved the knowledge more than anything. after only a few months, he’s reading things that even phil struggled to fully comprehend and his speaking skills grew better and better from the long nights they would just talk under the stars about anything and everything.

after the fall of the empire and when the two decide to go their separate ways, they keep contact through long handwritten letters delivered by crows. phil notices his english improving more and more each day. he begins to notice the feared blood god using phil’s mannerisms even through writing, it makes his heart warm to see the the very first connection between them still poking through all those years later.

How is my best friend Arthur has he helped you baldur any gates

He’s been good! My washing machine broke last week and I hauled it out the other day in preparation for the new one and he’s been loving his new Top Secret Hiding Spot.

We are taking a little bit of a Baldur’s Gate break right now just because I was getting burnt out. We’re slowly making our way through Mass Effect Andromeda for the second time. I’m very excited to get back to BG3 tho.

I left off right at the start of Act 2. I’m playing a Githyanki monk named Ez’rai and spent way too much time coming up with a backstory for them. I’m going to be romancing Wyll this time. I think Ez’rai growing up in such a harsh culture that didn’t have room for soft romance will go together in such a fun and cute way with Wyll. A noble’s son who is just so sweet and romantic and good.

.

I had an MRI appointment but instead I ended up receiving the funniest insurance denial ever

- “you may have a headache” may??? My friend it has been there for half of my life now

- I have been examined so many times in so many ways. My nervous system has absolutely been a part of that. There’s no way that’s not documented somewhere.

- “after your symptoms started or changed” well they started one heck of a long time ago so I’d say I’ve been examined since then! And I’ve actively been going to doctors and getting checked out since symptoms got worse!

- “The notes sent to us do not describe these exam results” how badly did my doctors mess up when submitting for the MRI??? I have so much medical documentation and I’ve absolutely done this stuff recently for it to be newly documented again. What in the heck went wrong here.

I wonder if most of our coworkers have come to see how close M and I are

[themoonstarwarrior]

So my big sister came with me to the FNAF movie. She's not crazy about the franchise like me, nearly all her knowledge comes from my Nightguard OC that she adores and me constantly talking about Security Breach cuz of my blorbos.

We get to the part where Matthew Lillard is introduced and she leans over to me and whispers "Now, is that that peepaw guy?"

The movie left me in such a state of euphoria that I didnt remember how much that FUCKING KILLED ME until just now.
