#the recruiter is ok
Text
personal story, you won’t get much, but this was very funny and exciting:
i went into the military base to get paperwork done and everything and now i’m officially part of the navy. i went in yesterday, stayed overnight at a hotel, and then swore in today!
my recruiter was taking me home and then we got rear-ended by a giant truck 😭
this is my first official military story and goddamnit is it a good one.

What makes the legend of the last hero stand out among the more prominent messianic figures in the story is its ‘every man’ sort of feel. The Prince That Was Promised can only ever be royal - since the existing requirement is to be born of Aerys and Rhaella’s line, who ruled as king and queen. Azor Ahai is interpreted in story as being related to a king. Yet the last hero was just some guy. His tale has been passed down across millennia, but he himself remains anonymous. We don’t know what family or region he came from. He may have been low born or high born, it doesn’t really matter. And what’s most interesting is how GRRM chooses to parallel his story in the published material. Waymar Royce, Bloodraven, Coldhands, Sam Tarly, Bran Stark, and Jon Snow all serve as narrative mirrors for the last hero. But there’s are quite a few differences. Waymar Royce is a highborn lord, but Jon and Bloodraven are bastards. Jon Snow is the typical fantasy warrior, yet Sam and Bran are GRRM’s deconstructions of what it looks like when a boy who doesn’t fit the chivalric ideal of knighthood gets to be the hero. Jon and Bran are also especially noteworthy because they are at the heart of one GRRM’s core thesis statements:
“I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples and bastards and broken things.”
So as a propaganda piece, I'd imagine that repeating this tale goes a long way. Imagine you're some unassuming kid from Flea Bottom. You'll never be the promised prince because you're not related to the king. It's a bit hard to be Azor Ahai because where in seven hells will you get dragon eggs, and how will you attain the magic required to bring them to life? But then you COULD be the last hero. Regardless of who your parents are and what type of blood you've got, you too can gather all your friends and go on a hero's journey. And isn't that what children's dreams are made of?
#it’s part of why I believe the last hero was a man of the (original) night’s watch#the watch itself is a hodgepodge of people - lowborn and highborn/criminal and knight/builders and rangers and book-keepers#they've really got room for everybody#ok now the last hero being created as recruitment propaganda for the watch is my new crack theory#and then the night's king is created as a foil to him kind of as a cautionary tale - a 'WHAT WE'RE NOT GON' DO LADS IS ..."#that's why the night's king is the exact opposite of the last hero in almost every way#the last hero is A guy but the night's king is THE guy - if you catch my drift#anyway just some stupid ramblings#and as always it's important to remember how these legends and tales reflect back on the cultures in which they are held in esteem#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls#jon snow#bran stark#the night’s watch#sam tarly#coldhands#bloodraven#waymar royce#the last hero

Vamp!Bsd au part 2
#can you tell aku is my favorite#I think he and gin’s turning was very traumatic (that’s what the bottom left is abt)#can’t decide if I want dazai to be his sire or if I want him and gin to be turned by the person who killed him and gin’s friends in the slum#dazai being his sire and then leaving him would be so much more tragic#ok I’ve decided that dazai turned aku after aku killed the vamp who murdered his friends and then left him to stew for a few years and#then came and retrieved him and recruited him into the Port Mafia Coven#vampire au#bungou stray dogs#akutagawa siblings#akutagawa ryuunosuke#gin akutagawa#bsd akutagawa#bsd gin#dazai osamu#bsd dazai#god these tags are long my bad#I just really like this au

more atsv things that haunt me: pav doesn't originally have a watch.
#see one thing that confused me was that gwen stole bens watch before she sent him home like she already had hobies why does she need another#well. turns out it was probably because several members of the spiderband dont have their own either#(off the top of my head --- noir and ham werent at HQ so they dont seem to have been part of the spiderman society#pav as seen above didnt have one despite being in the society and hobie took his off when he quit)#so gwen probably had to track down quite a few extras actually unless hobie had a backlog of counterfeit multiverse watches on his hands#across the spiderverse#across the spiderverse spoilers#pavitr prabhakar#ok but the REAL thing i was thinking about with this post is that pav doesnt seem to know about canon events either#and despite jessica implying they had a way to contact him he also does not come back to HQ with the rest of the kids after the Spot Debacl#he doesnt seem to be able to multiverse-travel at all until gwen recruits him into the spiderband#so the implication here is that miguel doesnt generally let people become full members of spider society with all the associated privileges#unless hes sure that they'll be vulnerable and/or traumatize enough to buy into the ideology. which is kind of fucked up!

So it occurs to me that I posted most of their lore on my OC blog (though a few posts on here have the story info) and honestly I think it's very important to note that the entire reason a guy from Florida is recruited to help defeat the demon lord isn't him as the hero. His younger brother (by about ten years younger) is the Chosen Hero and... not very good at it. So the goddess (Solei) who had selected the hero has to begrudgingly go back to earth and convince his older brother to help save her world.
(Also Reynold admits to Solei that "Sascha could never be a bad influence. He's the best impulse control I've ever had" and she really doesn't like to hear it. That's terrifying.)
#my characters#sascha is The demon lord and there is truly only one at a time#solei however is simply a goddess - not the only one of divinity#i dont actually know if thats been mentioned on either art blog lmao#also its not pictured here but reynold is recruited and only asks for one favor when in the other world (from solei)#he wants to be a woman while he helps his brother#she thinks its a weird flex but ok whatever buddy you can be a woman#and the logic is not him actually wanting to be one its just you see his younger brother finds it weird#to have a guy cling to him and dote on him like reynold does and said One Time WHY COULDNT YOU BE A SISTER THIS IS WEIRD#and so reynold is briefly rey for about a month before being held hostage by sascha and hes like... super polite#and asks her if she was cursed and so shes like uhhh what and he mentions looking at her gives him a headache#because the core and the outer appearance arent the same and he can revert her back to her original form if she wants#and she does so rey goes back to reynold which is very nice and reynold appreciates it#because honestly looking at rey in a mirror gives HIM a headache cause solei designed his appearance#and it was so bright thank you demon lord for giving the florida man his natural boring look back#also reynold will always carry sunglasses because solei can just appear and she is way too bright to deal with without eye protection#solei is not amused and thinks its basically slander against her godly appearance and reynold just smiles at her and tells her tough luck#he wants his vision for his new hot husband she can deal with a little insubordination#florida man begs for torture bc he can handle that and he knows it#is instead handed courtesy and manners and doesnt know what to do with it - quickly developing what he claims is NOT stockholm syndrome#solei and sascha quietly muttering about what that could possibly mean cause they dont know what this guy is talking about

Guyssss I just got a residency in my preferred specialty AND the job involves teaching students and interns <3<3<3
#faust.doc#this one was a bit of a gamble because i only applied one place with no backups#but i got it :)))#ok technically i had a backup since a few people i know are desperately trying to recruit me to family medicine#but ya know#i don’t want to do that#mainly because the teaching and reseach opportunities are fewer

tried to make my middle school ocs as sims to heal my inner child and completely overhauled them. so here they are, before and after The Events
lore time! trigger warning for like. everything like just go ahead and block their name tags if you have basically any triggers at all sorry
facts about hinnry (right)!
born into an incredibly isolated cult that's existed on a commune completely detached from the world since the 1890s. no one knows they exist, and it would be incredibly difficult to even find the commune.
that's why his name is spelled that way. they've been isolated for so long that their spelling and dialect have almost developed into their own language. like hinnry morphed from henry, jime morphed from james, merthy morphed from martha, etc.
everyone on the commune has the last name skrinniwk. none of the historians who studied the remains of the commune could determine what this used to mean.
you can spell it henry or hinnry. ilya (left) spells it henry. whatever
he has like 17 siblings (his father has multiple wives)
his father is the leader of the cult. they believe that their leader has been the same person since the 1890s, and he transfers his soul to one of his children when his physical body dies
on the commune there are bunkhouses for sleeping, a chapel for worship and school ('school') for the kids, a mess hall/kitchen kinda thing where they all eat, and then all their farming and livestock stuff
hinnry's job is slaughtering the animals
he's 18, almost 19, and has no wives or children yet. the men basically conceive children until they can't anymore (his father is an old man), but it's still strange that he hasn't done it yet at his age.
none of them besides his father and his father's brother have ever left the commune (he has a secret car. the rest of them don't even know what a car is, they think he has divine abilities and that's where they get things from)
a plague has been killing them like crazy. they've been locking bodies in the barn and burning them at night. this is not a good sign for their religion.
they believe all the death means it's time to leave their physical bodies. a mass suicide is coming. this isn't why hinnry runs away though. he would have had no hesitations about it.
facts about ilya (left)!

#they're overtaking my brain like oh man this is bad#i love them sm but i genuinely find hinnry's face unsettling to look at jdksjjfjds he is a bit creepy!!!#um. considering this is a highly isolated cult. do not think about why he might look a bit strange.#and if you do. to answer your question uhh. yes. somewhere in there certainly. but not as much as some of the others....?#some of the elders have extreme methemoglobinemia they're literally 100% blue skinned ok. that was like in the 60s in think?#and hinnry's grandfather said this is getting bad we need to bring some new recruits in for the first time. they've done that a few times#hinnry's mom was a new recruit. so. you know. it's pretty far back in his line#anyway!!!!!!!!!!!#they're the most fucked up characters i've ever made i think i'm like. can simblr handle this....idk#ts4#ts4 cas#the sims 4#ilya#hinnry#two-headed lamb

"i always side with the mages" this "i'd never support the templars" that. dude i think you misunderstood what in hushed whispers/champions of the just represent for the plot. it's about recruiting one of the factions for a task. you can do hushed whispers and conscript the mages; you can do champions and disband the templars. it's called role playing
#it's like you do rp......... in the role playing game.......#i'll never forget once getting a nasty anon for doing champions of the just with taerith lmfao#like ok. my guy (dalish) was willing to recruit the mages and then it turns out they've done a deal with tevinter (his people's boogeyman)#and now there's this sketchy message one of the tevinter guys handed him to meet him in the chantry which sounds like an ambush#esp after that weird ass conversation with alexius#he would never set foot in that chantry i'm sorry#yeah the player knows it's just dorian but the herald doesn't
