HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI.
Would you write about the moment Keyleth and Vax found out about the pregnancy in the Apocalypse AU? :D
Haha, Heyo!!! Ya got it! And just to clarify this is a little after they find out (basicly like just 5-20 minutes after) and they don’t know she’s having twins yet!
Vax was shivering both from the blasted cold and the waves of shocking realization. He’s curled around Keyleth though it’s a little awkward with her height but she needs this, he needs this. They sit a good ways away from the group, he can see Percy and Vex both want to come over, grab him and Keyleth and drag them back over to camp, to the warm fire and in truth they should. The cold isn’t doing any of them any good but they can’t, he can’t and Keyleth won’t budge even if he tried to convince her. The only one stopping his sister and her boyfriend from dragging them over is Pike. Vex has the mind of a doctor, strict orders to follow, no ifs ands, or buts, Percy well everyone knows he refers to Keyleth as a sister but Pike understands, as a nurse she’s at the frontmost lines to seeing how things affect peoples lives and when it’s best to give them space.
He’d been so scared that Keyleth had gotten sick again, the cold hadn’t been doing any of them any favors, Keyleth more so. The amount of medicine they’ve needed for everyone was painful, some of which was his own fault, and though he doesn’t regret doing everything in his power to help this makeshift family of his but it came with too many dangers. Thankfully she isn’t sick but his sister’s words continuously ring in his head.
“Given all that you’ve described, Keyleth, you’re not sick. You’re pregnant.”
 Gods, in any other circumstance he’d be over the moon but now? While they are running for their lives to either Zephrah or Whitestone, whichever path is more cleared, he doesn’t know how to feel other than petrified. Keyleth is pregnant, she’s going to have a baby, he was going to be a father. It’s terrifying. They aren’t in a safe place and the weather outside could be compared to the Arctic in terms of how frighteningly cold it could get out there, the somewhat painful bite of it seeping into him from the floor being a current constant reminder of that.
Keyleth stirs slightly, she hasn’t moved from her position since the news, turning more towards his front she buries her face into the side of his neck. There are no tears but her shakes tell him enough, his grip tightens around her. Her face is cold and it takes everything from him to not flinch at the frigid touch. They really should join the others but again he can’t bring himself to move. 
“Vax, what are we going to do.” Keyleth’s stuttering voice forces Vax out of his head. He opened his mouth to speak but no words left him, what could he even say? This is uncharted territory and a dangerous one at that. Pregnancy can be dangerous and Keyleth’s body and mind have already taken so many hits since this all began, even if the apocalypse wasn’t happening it’d still be more dangerous for her than the average person, she could die from this if they weren’t careful. His heart constricts in agony at the thought. He looks to the fire where the rest of the group resides, in the midst of their chatter he makes eye contact with Pike who gives him a tired but reassuring smile.
“I don’t know but, we aren’t alone.” It’s the truth and the only real thing he can say in this moment. After that, they remain there in silence for a few more minutes till their shivering reaches levels that cause Vax to worry. As he helps Keyleth up and they walk to the rest of their friends he can only hope that everything will turn out right despite everything.

Migth as well answer some of these because they are interesting ^^ Maybe even do a few chaacters but as I am currently doing some writing for them lets start with Kellvian. Kinda interested if I have a answer to all of them ^^
Tumblr media
What’s the maximum amount of time your character can sit still with nothing to do? - Very situational. Kellvian doesnt realy have the luxury of choosing to sit still and do nothing too often so if he has the opportunity hes actualy quite fond of just sitting down and having a rest for once.
How easy is it for your character to laugh? - All things considered Kellvian is propably easily amused even after everything he eventualy goes through. Or maybe thats just a coping mechanism.
How do they put themselves to bed at night (reading, singing, thinking?) Propably thinking about a solutio to a problem until they fall asleep.
How easy is it to earn their trust? - Kellvian is all things considered far too trusting and open still. Hes basicly the Meme of "YOu became friends with X. X will now die for you."
How easy is it to earn their mistrust? Kellvian migth trust easily but hes not a fool. In his eyes everyone migth deserve a chance or even a second one but betray him? Especialy if it hurts not only him but the people he cares about? Thats it there no coming back from that.
Do they consider laws flexible, or immovable? Laws are there to serve people not the other way around or I guess thats what Kellvian would argue. A Law is hurting more people then its protecting? Out it goes.
What triggers nostalgia for them, most often? Do they enjoy that feeling? I guess thats the first question I wuld have to think about an answer for ^^ Hes in familiar locations often so hes kinda haunted by nostalgia but quite enjoys it. It was usualy a time before stuff got... very complicated.
What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child? - propably to start paying attention and to stop trying to pet the monster bear bodyguard.
Do they swear? Do they remember their first swear word? - If you get Kellvian to swear you propably fall into the unforgiveable betrayal category.
What lie do they most frequently remember telling? Does it haunt them? Thats easy. About their identity and even after its somehow resolved... it haunts him. It was a necessary lie maybe at the start but it caused more pain and suffering then ever intended both to him and others
How do they cope with confusion (seek clarification, pretend they understand, etc)? Seeking an answer or clarification. Kellvian cant realy deal all to well with uncertaintys
How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’t quite reach? Remember the monster bear bodyguard? They give a good scratch.
What color do they think they look best in? Do they actually look best in that color? Blue and gold and the answer is yes
What animal do they fear most? Currently propably Snow Leopards. No I will not elaborate because that would need a whole book to do so.
How do they speak? Is what they say usually thought of on the spot, or do they rehearse it in their mind first? Kell has a very shakespearian way of talking. Usualy everything they say has been rehearesed and acted out in his head first. Kellvian is at his core a diplomat after all.
What makes their stomach turn? - Thats a long list. But most relevant to him currently propably slowly realising the entire realm he was raised to rule is... a lot more flawed then he had been made to beleive and the unsurmountable task of fixing that.
Are they easily embarrassed? Propably a bit too naiv for that
What embarrasses them? Having that naivity shattered and told why something was rather stupid propably does that
What is their favorite number? 20
If they were asked to explain the difference between romantic and platonic or familial love, how would they do so? Realy I dont think Kellvian has a firm grasp of that concept. Yes hes aware one is on a more physical level maybe but hes not afraid to hug his goddamn bodyguards as well XD Friends are family.
Why do they get up in the morning? "I dont have time to sleep. I got things to fix. Again."
How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?  Definitly more on the posessive "I wish that was me." side of things.
How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)?  Pretty sure he would beat himself up for feeling that way for half a day then realising it doesnt realy work to... do anything about that feeling
 Is sex something that they’re comfortable speaking about? To whom?  While the canton Empire isnt exactly hardcore prudish Kellvians upbringing was also rather protective so not comfortable and propably one of the few things that could get him embarassed
 What are their thoughts on marriage?  Hes mostly seen that as a political tool so Kellvian doesnt realy see the concept as having much of a significance outside of that.
 What is their preferred mode of transportation?  Either on their feet or literal floating palace.
 What causes them to feel dread?  A long list but most relevant: Propably watching how their nation is rapidly ripping itself apart form the inside and the realisaion that he migth go down in history as the man who let it happen.
 Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth? _ They cant afford to be lied to and usualy would look down on someone trying to convince them of a comforting lie. Kellvan knows everythings going to hell rapidly so if he wants to do something about it he needs the truth and he needs it rigth away and blunt. No talkng things prettier then they are.
 Do they usually live up to their own ideals? It surprises him maybe but in the end yes.
 Who do they most regret meeting?  Andre aka the Man responsible for the rapid decay of the Empire. Mostly meeting the man and not arresting him on the spot
 Who are they the most glad to have met? Jiy. Love interest. Propably one of the anchors the man has while everthing falls apart. And also blunt enough to not lie to him about it.
 Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke? Not realy.
 Could they be considered lazy? More Kellvian would propably love the opportunity to do so but the dread of "If I slip up for a second everything falls apart." keeps them on their feet.
 How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt?  Seeing as hes still feeling guilty about his greatest lie about a decade on... very hard.
 How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive?  Kellvian is as mentioned a diplomat at hearth. He will hear them out and propaply encourage them unless its something he sees as dangerous or running contrary to his plans.
Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap? More uh... running away from it currently. Not because its unwanted but because hes aware it cant go well.
Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)?  Propably sorting the Names of Imperial Noble houses by how funny they are.
What memory do they revisit the most often? In later years propably his first few weeks of travelling alone through the Empire. Again before things got... complicated.
How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people?  depends on the flaw. If its something that runs contrary to Kellvian and his beliefes and ideals its propably gonna bug him pretty hard.
How sensitive are they to their own flaws? A bit blind actualy. Not unaware but in a way unaware to realy fix them.
How do they feel about children?  Other children? neat. His own?... a bit apprehensive. Not because he doesnt want any around but hes aware how much his own upbringing shaped him both in good and bad ways and hes a bit trapped in that and isnt sure if he would want to put anyone through the same thing.
How badly do they want to reach their end goal?  Yes.

Avatarverse rewrite 9
The Other Avatar
After the fall of Ba Sing Se the Avatar line of succession split in two with Aang’s death and resurrection. The Avatar Spirit basicly saw that Aang kicked it and hopped into a newborn in the Foggy Swamp Tribe and then got very confused when Aang was alive again and it was suddenly in two mortal bodies. Eventually the Avatar Spirit got over it but the split does mean that there’s a glitch in the Avatar line where the Branch line skips over Avatar Aang and the Branch Avatars can’t communicate with the Mainline Avatars from Aang onward. Both Avatars cannot be in the Avatar State at the same time.
The public generally refuses to believe in the existence of two Avatars, generally leading that the one who’s at the wrong phase of the cycle and the wrong age is likely an imposter or con or some spirit shenanigans.
Because they are in a different place in the Avatar cycle than where the cycle should be the Branch Avatars are never discovered by the proper process or announced. Whatever teaching they find they find on their own and do not have the support of nations or the respect someone of their position should.
A decent amount of spirits are of the opinion that there should only be one Avatar. That the Avatar split could be a terrible premonition of a world swamped with Avatars. How to make there only be one Avatar? A few spirits think that ripping the Avatar spirit out of its mortal form and shoving into the other Avatar would work. Would it work? Who knows. The Avatars say no thank you at the idea.
Branch line Avatars:
Avatar Jian
- Born in the Foggy Swamp to a Foggy Swamp tribe nonbender and a western Earth Kingdom refugee who was also a nonbender.
Never really referred to herself as an Avatar but was aware of it and allowed others to do so. Met Avatar Roku and Yangchen in the swamp and learned from them who she was.
Because of being raised in the swamp she was an extremely spiritual person and managed to reach her own form of enlightenment in her 20s. She was like most swampfolk a pretty mellow and relatively unflappable person. And from the Earth Kingdom and Southern Water Tribe refugees that integrated into the swamp she gained a strong sense of justice and morality.
Her animal guide was an absolutely massive catgator nicknamed Ol’ Snaggletooth by the community decades before she was ever born. ‘Tooth took a liking to her when she was but a toddler and they were all but inseparable for the rest of her life.
Only mastered waterbending (Foggy Swamp style, SWT style, vinebending, healing), energybending (chi reading, distant sight, healing, spiritbending), and earthbending (Common Omashu style, Foggy Swamp Style, metalbending, invented woodbending) in her lifetime. Learned a little firebending from a few of the firebending Earth Kingdom refugees. And figured out a little airbending by copying the local birds and bugs.
Was born in the last year of the 100 year war but as a child experienced the fall out of it as well as the effects of the Fire Nation’s ongoing colonization. Started fighting back with a group of her friends against a lot of injustices as well as providing aid and medicine to people.
Got off on the wrong foot with Aang and stayed on the wrong foot. Came to blows more than once which were more about distracting the other Avatar and his friends from what her comrades were up to than actually defeating Aang (the difference in their age and experience tended to give him the advantage).
Retired from active freedom fighting in her 40s to become the new protector of the Foggy Swamp after her teacher Huu’s passing. For another 20 yrs she fended off all threats to her swamp as a new city grew up inside it and passed away peacefully surrounded by friends and family.
B/c of her strong spirituality she continues looking out for her swamp after her death and is a willing teacher of both ecology and the spiritual arts.
Avatar Onini
- born in the slums of Ba Sing Se to a carpenter (untalented earthbender) and a mask maker (nonbender).  
Lost their bender parent at age 8 due to a workplace accident. Lost their nonbender parent at 10 to being disappeared by the Dai Li for being critical of the Earth Queen. Spent another 4 years just trying to survive on the streets, mostly working odd jobs and doing crime and befriending and defending other street children.
Did not actually know that she was a bender until she jumped from the inner wall of Ba Sing Se after a major heist after being cornered by the Dai Li. After deciding that she would rather die than be captured and be imprisoned or worse brainwashed by the Dai Li she flipped them off and walked backwards off the wall. On the way down she discovered that she was no longer falling and flew out of the city. (If anyone ever told her that unaided flying was something that only super enlightened and detached Air Nomads accomplished every once in a blue moon she’d give you a weird look and point at the newborn air bison just levitating like its nothing)
Animal guide is a cuttle-dragon (cuttlefish-monitor lizard) named Yami who was found during a successful heist in the upper ring of Ba Sing Se from an exotic animal collector’s home. Yami is calm and calculating, extremely intelligent, and likes to steal treats and shiny trinkets. As a smaller animal, it rides on its master’s shoulder, often while invisible or impersonating a garment
Has definitely heard of the Sisterhood of Serpents what with the whole life of crime thing. Wants in. Is currently a junior member doing errands outside of helping various resistance movements.
After discovering that she can bend, really isn’t that big on it. Would rather use weapons or bare fists in a fight. When she does bend air is her preferred element for its evasiveness. Is a master airbender (Teo’s Kin and Nomad style, soundbending in the Nomad style, self taught lethal airbending techniques, self taught unaided flight), a master level waterbending healer, and a darn good energybender (astral projection, distant sight, chi reading, spiritbending). Most of the other elements she uses for noncombat things.
Does have a private life aka does big revolutionary stuff and Avatar business while wearing a Python mask styled after the Python Spirit thief/assassin character in EK plays.
Does part-time work as a healer for probending teams while staying in Republic City under a nickname. Made some decent coin returning people’s bending to them (and also giving nonbenders who want to bend bending and swapping people’s bending element to something they like better)
Finds and frees Zaheer from his prison and gifts him airbending, knowing that he’ll free his comrades and ignite the chaos that comes before true anarchy (the plan she agreed upon with her revolutionary comrades).
Refers to herself as the Avatar while under her persona, tho she does use her real name.
Just fucking closes the spirit portals b/c why the fuck would you leave those open?
Does not care about how Korra feels about her. Tends to call Korra a cop b/c of her vibes.
Assists the Krew against the Equalists. Assists the SWT in fighting the NWT but opposes Korra’s decisions on the portals. Assists the Red Lotus. Wants the western EK occupied by the United Republic to be returned to the EK.
Has a rather strong moral compass. Does not believe that murder, robbery, or kidnaping among other things is inherently immoral.
Is an old friend of Mako and Bolin which leaves the boys conflicted about a lot of things.

So I rewatched the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy again.
I say trilogy well aware that there are more movies by now but I feel like removing the main charachters and keeping one side charachter counts more as a spinoff. So before we begin I did watch these before once pretty much before they came out. I remember really enjoying the first one and the sequels overall being mediocre. Then over time I forgot why the sequels were bad and remembered a really cool story about magic pirates with a badass female lead. And now I have watched them again and they are bad. But like bad in their own special way. And the fact that they are bad doesn’t mean they don’t tell a cool story about magical pirates. So what I am going to do is go trough each movie in a semi structured way and tell you why they are bad but still tell a cool magical story about pirates with a badass female lead.
So when we start the second movie we get some exposition setting up the main vilian for both movies, It’s this new trading company dude who is looking to get jacks compass for some reason. Also this dude enjoys being an asshole so he imprisons elizabeth and sends will out to see to look for jack sparrow. What follows is what I like to call shenanigans. The pirates movies are not the only movie that employ the shenanigans trope but the trope can be sumarized as any action/comedy/general scene that doesn’t make much sense and does noting to progress the plot in a meaningfull way. (the defintion of the word meaningfull is subjective here but bear with me). The shenanigans the second pirates movie gets into include a very racist 20 minutes of Jack being a king of native canibals and having to be rescued by his crew and Will who was looking for him. Elizabeth gets her own shenanigans as she escapes jail. makes a deal with our main villian. Then in order to find Jack and Will she dresses like a man to tag along a trading ship. In her infinte cunning and wisdom that apperently dissapears because shenanigans she hides her dress on board of the ship. Wich then leads to her pretending there is a ghost on the ship and leading this ship to Tortuga. Now it can be argued both of these shenanigans progress the plot. Will finds jack and frees him. Elizabeth uses a cunning plan to get where she needs to be. Except both of these points rely on A. Jack got captured by natives that are there for no plot relevant reason. B. Elizabeth hides her dress on board of the ship she is hiding her identity and gender on. But ok half an hour into this movie and nothing has happened, fine. skip forward a few scenes and we get to Jack selling will to davy jones, will meets his daddy this is all pretty good. Refer back to cool magic pirate movie. Will escapes eventually and meets with Jack Elizabeth and suprise james norrington, you know the british navy villian from the first movie. (he is introduced earlier and better than I might suggest but this is already far too long.) So the boys fight over davy jones’ heart untill halfway the fight Norrington steals the heart out of jacks jar of dirt. After which the fight actually continues for quite a while. this entire fight can be summarized as shenanigans. So davy jones is angry because his heart got stolen and he sends the kraken after our heroes and something acutally suprising and interesting happens.
See Elizabeth and Jack have this conversation a bit before this, where Jack suggests that Elizabeth will become a scoundrel like himself because deep inside she is a pirate and wants to know how it feels (also this means they are going to make out). She retorts that she will not but that Jack will become a hero one day because deep inside he is a good man and wants to know how it feels. So the kraken atacks because Jack has Davy Jones’ heart and Davy jones generally wants him dead. This is when Elizabeth does something briliant. She kisses Jack and ties him to the boat making the kraken kill him so she can escape. She lost the argument, she became a scoundrel pirate. However Jack in the eyes of the group became a hero, sacrificing himself to save the team. In a way they are both right. Especially from elizabeth’s perspective as a scoundrel, A heroic man is good for nothing but leverage (this is a huge theme in the first movie.) So Elizabeth killed jack, the movie ends with everyone mourning jack at Tia Dalma’s place. Who reveals that Barbossa is alive, and that Jack can be brought back from Davy Jones’ locker. But only if they are willing to sacrifice everything, everyone agrees with an “Aye!” except for Elizabeth, who reluctantly says yes, which makes sense... she killed Jack.
Now why did I write all this down (other than this being the point of the blog), I wrote it all down because the third movie has some issues that facinate and frustrate me to no end. So Elizabeth is now a murderer, pirate, liar, and overall badass worth a milion of Jack Sparrow. But this is a Disney movie and hollywood can’t have women be competent without also being objectified sooo we start the movie with her singing the pirate antem forcing the pirate lords to gather. In order to make a deal with one of the pirate lords named Sao Feng. So far so good she is being cool. But in order to get in she needs to drop her weapons and clothes and Barbossa is there to take the lead. This actually makes everything confusing, Everything up to this point would make Barbossa and Elizabeth equals if not friends for the fact that Elizabeth achieved what Barbossa would have loved to do. Kill Jack Sparrow. But because the movie won’t allow a woman to be a main charachter entirely she doesn’t tell him. So he treats her like shit. We also get to see her weakness in this scene, namely that she still really loves Will making her actually interesting. (I am not going to debate on tumblr if her weakness being attraction to a dude is sexist or not.) So much of the first half of the movie is spent on saving jack sparrow from davy jones’ locker and one thing relevant to my story here that happens is that Elizabeth finds out her dad is dead, which upsets her inmensly and she needs to be stopped from drowning herself. (I am honestly not sure about this scene it makes sense in charachter but portraying Elizabeth this way is just sooo weirdly out of the badass pirate version of her... Whatever.) She eventually gets kidnapped by Sao Feng who thinks she is the god of the sea Calypso, and Sao Feng wants to release Calypso from her mortal prison. This is the same thing Barbossa is trying to do but he knows who Caplypso actually is. Sao Feng dies before this goes anywhere meaningfull other than making Elizabeth a pirate lord with his last words. So now Elizabeth is actually on the same level as Jack. And now we finally get to the scene where all of this comes together. The pirate council scene. All of the pirate lords have come together to decide what to do against davy jones who is now under control of beckett. They fight amongst each other like pirates are expected to do and Elizabeth scoffs at this. She proposes they go to war against Becket’s fleet, in order to flee the scene and live another day, the most ancient of pirate traditions. Jack wants them to stay holed up because he is a coward. Barbossa wants to go to war and release calypso. They figure out the only way to go to war as the pirate council is for there to be a pirate king But everyone always votes for themselves. So there hasn’t been one in forever. Barbossa pushes the vote and because he wants to go to war he votes for Elizabeth, (Also barbossa is a pirate lord for some reason even though he was Jacks first mate in the first movie, you’d think you’d have to be a captian to be a pirate lord?) So elizabeth is now pirate queen. They go to war, some more stuff happend that should probably get its own post but this is all the information required for me to make my point. 
Elizabeth as a main charachter is written as a badass pirate with clear motivation but isn’t allowed to be competent and as such the movies narrative around her gets really confusing. If elizabeth had known about the pirate council and the full scope of the code in the second movie, (which was largely spend on shenanigans and could have done with telling us more about the world the story takes place in, the pirate lords and clear details about calypso do not exist in movie 2)and barbossa’s motivation early in the third movie (easily obtained by gaining his trust revealing she murdered Jack), we could have seen this movie as a pirate exceeding her mentor (Jack Sparrow) fighting for the power required to survive, and provide her fiance (Will) with the means to save his father whilst manipulating and lying like literally everyone else.I am almost entirely sure this arc existed for her at some point considering this is what she builds to in the first movie, she adores pirates for their rebellion and heroism, is appaled by their lack of morals and manners, ends up learning how to manipulate them into doing what she wants. But thats not what happend, instead we spent a lot of time on shenanigans and flip flopping between pirate Elizabeth and emotional rich lady on a pirate ship Elizabeth. 
If you got this far, thanks for reading. This is one hell of a first post for this blog and I have basicly only written about Elizabeth. I feel like the other big thing i want to talk about is something in more movies and needs its own special post.

In my most recent game I was in a party of 3 level 2s or 3s. me as a human blood mage, which at that time was basicly a warlock, a dwarf druid and a gnome mad bomber. We were looking for some gloves blesses by baccob
Having a good time, until we get to the last room that is. DM: “this last room you look inside and see a statue, and behind it is a large chest.”
Druid ooc: “that’s a gargoyle.”
DM: “could be, you don’t know that.”
Me: “I inspect the statue.” *nat 1*
DM: “looks pretty neat.”
Me ooc: “welp, guess I’ll walk over to the chest then…”
That of course triggers the boss fight and believe me when I say, the only things I got a decent roll on were my death saves, the druid was dead and the gnome was hiding in the chest.
Gnome finds some nice gloves and puts them on trying to find a way out. Gnome: “can I pray to baccob for help?”
DM, expecting a fail: “you know what, sure roll a religion check.”
Gnome: *rolls a nat 20*
The whole table starts laughing
DM: “you hear a voice sigh, shortly after you hear a rumbling out side, almost as if they’re foot steps walking away.”
Me ooc dying in the hall: “uh… I’m dead aren’t I?”
We hear a roll of dice, all is silent.
DM: “nope, still in the hall, still passed out”
So let’s recap, we have a dead druid, a passed out blood mage, and a crazy gnome in a chest… it should be worth pointing out that the gnome player is known for his stupidly lucky roles at the funniest times. And of course that encounter should have been pretty easy if we didn’t just completely miss everything.
DM Later after game: “you know, that gargoyle was actually pretty low, an eldric blast could have probably killed him.”
We all burst in to laughter as I come up with a plot to derail the campaign or cheese his final boss.

MIKAEL 
(questions are from this post)
1. What’s their full name? Why was that chosen? Does it mean anything? Artur "Mikael" Sikora - Arthur is royal name, but I didn't mean it when I was creating him. I wanted just use a name I didn't have already xD I have so many male OCs with Tami :V Sikora is polish name for tit bird, he is smoll and loves nature I think it's cute, and he has pet wild jay who he loves dearly and feeding everymoring I thought it will be funny for him to have bird-related surname. Mikael is his witch name, he pick it randomly just thought it sound nice. 2. Do they have any titles? How did they get them? No, he is regular man. 3. Did they have a good childhood? What are fond memories they have of it? What’s a bad memory? Since he is only child and his mother was a little overprotective he had save and decent live, but since his mother was overprotective he also had hard times with her in general. He discovered he is gay pretty early and that part of his live was pretty hard to hide to. As a kid he didn't really know what he likes and what he wants to do, only around his 20 he got intrested in witchcraft. His worst memories are those with hiding his identy, he was trying to date, one girl, few boys, he was too good sometimes and people were using him often in those relationships.   4. What is their relationship with their parents? What’s a good and bad memory with them? Did they know both parents? He now lives alone, but visiting her mother at least two times per month, and tries one per week. He knows both of his parents, but his mother left his father and now live with her new boyfriend. He didn't stay in touch with father. The worst memory is just parents divorce, but like he don't have one clear accident he would say is bad. His mother was just not the best mother ever and make him often feel gulity over accidents, like "that's your fault they hit you", "you dress strange so you should think about it" etc, his father was working and drinking a bit too much, so he hates it but like he never hit you or anything so he thinks about it like "he was lucky enough" 5.

He is an adult already but he finished Uni (Kolegium Karkonowskie)(english philology), he always liked polish, english and history, never was really intrested in biology, but now he can't belive it, since plants and nature is his new everything. 7. Did they have lots of friends as a child? Did they keep any of their childhood friends into adulthood? He wasn't the most popular kid, but had some friends like everyone in neghborhood and also in school.

As a kid he didn't had any animals, since mom didnt let him. Now he kind of tamed wild jay, that is very smart birb and got use to this human feeding him every moring. It trust him and would sit on his arm, but would never let him touch it. Mikael loves it dearly and he is very proud that bird let him be its friend. He saved it when jay was still young. He loves animals, almost as much as he loves plants. As a witch he adore cats most, but never had any. 9. Do animals like them? Do they get on well with animals?

Stuff about tuteur universe or Ra'ali
Summary
I actually never talked about where does Tuteur lives across of all of the multiverse we have in fanfiction and stories Ra'Ali is actually a combination of three letters of my name and my last name but the world if expanded would be like a combination of Dnd mechanics, pathfinder universe sprinkled in with a bit of isekai and the league of legends rune mechanics to make it a bit more understanding in the world their is actually 20+ sentient races with more than half of them having feral version of themselves and having their own rules and understanding.
It is a world that would be at constant war thanks to imperialistic views, nationalism and warring tribes if it wasnt for the barries put up by the original 13 heroes (equivalent of the avatars of the gods) that sacrificed themselves to protect the races from the eldritch.
The eldritch
The eldritch the equivalent of the elder gods and lovecrafts monsters the difference is that the monsters can be "killed" but it only banish them from the universe sometimes permanent sometimes not so permanent with the mortal eldritch been killed by your normal soldiers, old mortal eldritch needing a small army, old eldritch needing a sorcerer to maintain the army sane and a great eldritch needing avatars or saints of the gods to make a dent on them then their are the pure eldritch needing heroes both chosen and nonchosen to banish it their are other of higher caliber but some needs special rules to enter this world if not the gods will intervine
The gods
The gods are the same as mythology but the gods can look as different as the eldritch but human see them as humans because they cant comprehend it, some gods that have interacted with their avater have shown their true form, sometimes they look like plants or animals like gaia or questacoalt sometimes its a collective like hades or yomi sometimes it can be much, much worse like thanatos who is just a 2 month fetus that spurting butterflies been protect by screaming banchees the only thing you can see is just a tornado of waling souls or a dark lake with stars like nyx the gods dont intervine and let their avatars work because thats is their job.
The avatars
The avatars like it is said are avatars of the gods but the eldritch can have avatars too sometimes forced, sometimes sacrifice, sometimes been fated like Tuteur the difference was that Tuteur was fated at the beggining of his life but sometimes the avatars can be used as ambassadors to other worlds or destroyers but mainly their are plucked or they die in a certain timeline can be from the past, present or future then sent to ra'ali first to be trained.
Ra'ali
Ra'ali is basicly near the center of the universe or at the edge of it nobody knows but one thing is for sure Ra'ali is a place where everyone is an equal gods, eldritch or mortals you aren't simply there because of a coincidense you are there to learn about something, be punished, rewarded or chosen, Ra'ali can be compared to Jupiter as big and two rings.
The rings: Sol and Ne'Mesis
around it for minor gods, high ranking dragons, cosmic elves, arch fiends, unique eldritch, fallen races, angelic like races among other "divine" or higher level beings in understanding. Sol been for divine been and Ne'Mesis been for higher level they have their own environments and usually dont intervine with lower levels usually in special occasion they will go down go interact with the mortal layer.
The mortal layer: Terra
The mortal layer is where the main stories would be and connect sol and Ne'mesis, Terra and Mortem, usually humans and other races roam around without any problems without gates but after the mortal layer cracked letting out the eldritch and feral seep out of mortem the politics changed, many races searched for muscular male and quick feeted female, other searched for top heavy females and slim males, child bearing woman and feminine men the two important rules were that men went insane quicker than woman and woman survived in any enviorment so many races sometimes chose matriarch society while other chose to band together and worked through the storm with other staying in the status quo and using ingenuity to survive and they stayed the same for 10,000 years even after the barrier was up.
Mortem
Mortem is like the deep sea but it could br compared to end game grinding, mortem is where the eldritch and feral live dont think that this place is some kind of hellscape, decaying place or some puss infected world, places of mortem have their own society, lives and understanding but no one knows much only that does dragged inside know that death is a better fate, those who arent ready for a journey there shouldn't go ever.
How they are connected
Their are three trees that connect the three layers, the world tree, the gates and shubbnigurath cant explain anything else because story reasons.
The system, races and lives can be explained in another post probably who knows this was just writting before sleeping lol

Improvement-Ideas for Splatoon 2 (Opinion Alert!!!)
This game is amazing, just like the first. And it definitely deserves all the praise and love it gets. However, I still believe this game has plenty of problems, that could be improved on. Because as fun as it can be, it can just as well be frustrating and morale crushing... Depending on what people you end up playing with and against... So first up, here is my list of problems I have with the game.
Problems with Regular Mode (Turf War)
Since Turf Wars is described as a casual mode, that anyone can pick up and play, it should also be the easiest to get into. And in a way it is, with an objective that is very easy to grasp. Just paint as much as you can and you win... But unfortunately, it's not as simple as that...
- Turf Wars IMO is the hardest mode of them all! That may sound surprising, but in my experience, I had by far the hardest time with Turf Wars. While I had a much easier and fairer time with Ranked. Why is that? Well the biggest reason is that Ranked Modes focus on one of two areas on the map (Clam Blitz kinda being an exception, with clams being scattered everywhere). But Turf Wars in universal: The entire map is the objective, rather than a few select parts of it. You have to stay vigilant at all times, since the opposition can be literally anywhere. With Ranked you can make a pretty good guess where the opposition is headed. But not in Turf Wars... Secondly, the tides can turn at the last minute, even if your team was ahead the entire time. (And most of the time, that's exactly what happens, at least in my experience) And thirdly, kills are effective. Perhaps even too effective. Giving players with superior skills an undeniable edge over beginners and other not quite as skilled players... And that's why a lot of people go for kills and try to completely lock the other team down. Which is incredibly infuriating when you're at the receiving end of it. And the maps don't really offer much in terms of sneaking around. Which sucks... So if you're up against godlike players and they completely lock you down, you might as well throw the game... It's not fun, believe me... - Matchmaking is random What Nintendo (and a whole lot of other people) sees as a good thing, ends up being a dealbreaker for me and many other people... And it's easily my biggest gripe with this mode. What players you're matched with and against, is all just a roll of the dice. Aka completely luck-based. And as such, winning or even your team just doing well enough, become mostly luck-based as well. And if you're having real bad luck (like yours truly), you lose most of the time and question your life choices... Either because the matchmaking decided to match you with teammates that are far less skilled than you or you are straight thrown into arctic water, by matching you against players that are so far above your skill level, that you stand no chance against... Sometimes even the two combined... It's really aggravating, when the dice roll results are so unbalanced. - Turf Wars is a little too winning-oriented I still remember the days of early Splatoon 1, where you simply had to get as many Turf Points as possible, to do well. Losing didn't matter, since winning only net you 300 extra points back then. The bulk of the points (and thus your money and EXP) came from your Turf Score. And I believe this is how Turf Wars worked best and it truly was a casual mode, where losing really didn't matter all that much. Unfortunately, with the update that added the New Level Up System post level 20 and now with the adoption of the same system in Splatoon 2, that is a thing of the past. You only need to reach 500 Turf Points to get the most points possible from the Turf Score. And you get the most EXP points for winning. And I believe that is why Turf Wars became so frustrating to play. After that update, you could see nothing but E-Liters in Splatoon 1 Turf Wars. And since E-liters were completely broken in that game, Turf Wars became impossible to play and enjoy, if you used any other weapon than that. And even in Splatoon 2, people became really aggressive and focus mostly on kills and base invading. Since that wins the game. And I am pretty sure, if Nintendo wouldn't have changed the Level Up System like that and stuck with the original all the way, people wouldn't be so tryhard in that mode.
Problems with Splatfest
- Toxicity I made a whole Tumblr-Post about it once. Link: https://paragon-yoshi.tumblr.com/post/175961272304/toxicity-in-splatfest-revised But to summarize: I believe Marina and Pearl act way too toxic during Splatfests (at least in the localization, since in the original japanese version they apparently don't act nearly as obnoxious). And it mirrors the toxicity coming from the players, as far as I have seen. Not to mention it makes the Splatfest a much more serious deal, than it needs to be... - Same problems as normal Turf Wars All the same problems from normal Turf Wars can be found here. You may think matchmaking would be the only exception, with the "Splatfest Power" system. Though even with it, it seemed just as random, which is a shame... Because the concept of Splatfest Power definitely goes into the right direction.
Problems with Salmon Run
- Not available at all times.< Okay, this is something nearly everyone complains about. So enough said here... - Being unable to use your normal clothes I HATE the working attire that Salmon Run forces on you. It's UGLY! I'd much rather use my preferred clothes from normal PvP.
Other Problems
- The game doesn't let you play with more or less than 8 players in a match Looking at other online shooters, pretty much all of them let you play with different amounts of players, rather than forcing a set number on you. (Let alone being able to enter and exit mid-game) I get that Nintendo wants to be original and likes to do things their own way. But in this case, I really wish they would've done it the same way other online shooters did. I believe we wouldn't be stuck in "Waiting Room Hell" nearly as much, if the game was more flexible with the number of people that can play at a time... - Abilities being locked to Clothes Clothes should be cosmetics first, period! And I don't believe it was a good idea to lock Abilities behind clothes. And it very often creates a dilemma to me. Since the clothes I really like, often have abilities I have no use for. While clothes with good abilities for me, often look ugly AF. So yeah, enough said here...
How Splatoon 2 could be improved
Let's tackle the small fry first...
Improving Cosmetics and Abilities
- Separate Clothing and Abilities I'd make Clothing completely cosmetic, while Abilities have their own slot-system. It could work the very same way as they work now, just without the clothes. And instead of buying clothes for abilities, you would buy... Let's say, Badges or something like that.
- Add more Clothing categories Like this: - Head (Hats, Caps, Headbands, Bandanas...) - Face (Glasses, Masks, Facepaint...) - Body (Shirts, Coats, Sweaters, Jackets...) - Wrists (Bracelets, Watches, Sweatbands...) - Hands (Gloves) - Legs (Pants, Dresses, Skirts...) - Feet (Shoes, Boots, Sandals...) - Accessories (Necklaces, Rings, Vests, Wigs...) Obviously that would mean, for example, Gloves are seperate from Body Gear now. As well as allowing you to wear Hats and Glasses at the same time. - Adding new customization options for your Inkling/Octoling Adding the following options would really perfect the character creation in my eyes: - Face (not just the eyes) - Voice - Height - Body Type (Skinny, Fat, Muscular, etc.) So people would be able to re-create their Inksona's much more accurately in-game... :3
Improving Salmon Run
- Unlockables: Normal PvP Clothes for Salmon Run and Salmon Run Work Clothes for PvP Unlock the Work Clothes as equippable cosmetics for other modes. And at the same time, from the moment you unlock them, you will always play Salmon Run with the clothes you have equipped. If you want your Work Clothes back, simply equip them to play the old-fashioned way. Both unlock after you reach a certain Rank in Salmon Run! - Make Salmon Run playable online, even when main shifts are closed. The logic behind this is: When Grizzco is closed, Inklings and Octolings can still work on their own and sell the Eggs they collect. This'd be a great way to make Salmon Run playable at all times, even when Grizzco is not available. However, it'd play a little differently... - You'd be able to freely pick your weapon. And it wouldn't change in-between waves. - Difficulty is still dependant on your rank. But it won't change. If you win, it won't increase. If you lose, it won't go down. - Players vote for stages and the game then randomly picks the stage from the voted options (Like Mario Kart 8 online picks tracks) - You only get cash at the end. Nothing else! - Since Mr. Grizz isn't around when you work on your own, there'll be no one to order you around or give you advice! So basicly, when Grizzco is open (which right now is the only time you can play Salmon run) it'd play as usual. But when Grizzco is closed, the above mentioned changes are in effect, until they open again.
Improving PvP Modes
- Make Ranked Mode available from the start Aka, no longer having to unlock Ranked by reaching level 10. You can jump straight into competitive, if you want. This actually goes hand in hand with the more drastic changes I suggest, further down. - Ability to play with more or less than 8 players AT THE VERY LEAST FOR REGULAR MATCHES! Like I said, being able to play with different amounts of players would greatly cut the time we spend waiting for a lobby to fill up. It works well for all other online games of this kind. So why shouldn't it in Splatoon as well? And the ability to enter a match mid-battle, could easily fix uneven teams in a match. Plus, if teams are uneven, I'd like to have some "handicap effect" in place, giving the outnumbered team a boost in some way, until it's even again. The greater the difference in numbers between teams, the higher the boost. - Allow players to create "Custom Lobbies" with their own rules Essentially this would revise the current "Private Battle", give it more options to customize your game, as well as the choice to either make it public or friends only. Obviously you could join any open lobby from a list of available lobbies, if you want to join a custom game, rather than create one. The host of the lobby would set the rules. Like choosing maps and Game Mode. In this regard it'd work exactly like Private Battle does now. But it'd offer far more options for the host to customize their game: - Time Limit (so you can play Turf Wars for longer or less than 3 minutes of you want. Same with Ranked and their 5 minutes) - Maximum Number of Players - Respawn Time - Ink Capacity - Damage/Life - Abilities On/Off - Items On/Off etc. This would allow for some much needed diversity, allowing you to play the familiar modes in very different ways... Lastly, I'd still allow EXP and Money to be obtained from this (at least if it's a public lobby). One possible concern some of you might have, is that if the Time Limit is ridiculously high (like 30 minutes for example), you'd have to sit through the whole thing. Well no, you wouldn't. Since other online games of this nature allow you to enter and exit mid-game. So that very same option would allow you to leave at any time. Of course, the downside is that you won't receive any EXP or Money, if you don't play the match until the end. And now we're getting to the changes for Regular Mode (and Splatfests) As far as I can see, there are two ways to improve it. One very simple way and one drastic way, that changes Regular Mode in some significant ways... The simple way is: - Make "Splatfest Power" a feature for normal Turf Wars This would be the easiest way to fix the issue of unbalanced match-up's in Turf Wars. Since, if it works as intended, there'd at least be some sort of balance between players and their skills. It wouldn't be perfect, but IMO it's better than nothing. But like I said, there is another, more drastic way to go about it. And I am sure some people will lose their mind and want to see me on a chopping block for coming up with these ideas. (If there's anything I learned, it's that people don't like big changes. Especially if it's a game changer!) I'll be blunt: I believe Splatoon would be better, and appeal to much more people, if it were half Party-Game and half Competitive Game! The key to this lies in the "Regular/Ranked Split" Make "Regular" the "Party Side" of Splatoon, for casual players who want to have good old fun. While "Ranked" would be the fully "Competitive Side" of Splatoon, where you need to have superior skills to come out on top. While the, above mentioned, "Custom Lobby" feature would allow players to customize their games, and give their matches the best of both worlds maybe. Or turn their games into something different... If you wonder why I would do it like this... Well, have a look at this informative reddit post, that talks about Party Games and Competitive Games. Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/281eja/why_smash_is_a_party_game_and_what_the_melee/ It's about Smash Bros (and quite a lengthy read), but a lot of the points there should apply to any game! And you might understand why I'd vouch for the following changes... - Add items to Regular! Let me stress this one more time: REGULAR MODE ONLY! ITEMS WOULD NOT BE IN ANY RANKED MODES!!! This system isn't even new, since the Battle Dojo from the first game, actually had items! Items from Single Player and Octo Expansion (adjusted for Multiplayer) would appear here. And they would appear all over the stage. It'd have items such as "Battle Armor", along with the ability to stack armors for more durability... "Ink Tanks" that refill your ink, as well as temporarily increase your Ink Capacity... "Canned Subs" to swap out your Sub Weapons, until you get splatted... "Canned Specials" giving you instant access to the depicted Special Weapon... The "Full Power Up" from the first game's Battle Dojo, increasing all of your stats for a short time... On top of that, I could imagine some specials from the previous game returning in item-form. And maybe some original items. Such as temporary upgrades like "Spread Shot", "Rebound Shots" or "Homing Shots". Items would mostly appear randomly. But when a team is at a disadvantage or player imbalances are detected, items would spawn more closely to the players/teams at a disadvantage. Again, I stress: ONLY REGULAR MODES WOULD HAVE ITEMS! Ranked on the other hand wouldn't have them. So if you loathe items and random chance in games, just play Ranked and be happy. Or make your own "Custom Lobby" and turn them off! And since I mentioned the Battle Dojo from the first game so many times... - Revise Battle Dojo from the first game and make it a new Regular mode I really believe "Balloon Battle" from the first game would make a really good new Regular mode. Just like it was in the first game, the objective would be to pop as many balloons as possible and rack up points. You lose points if you get splatted and whoever has the most points, wins! But of course, there'd be some changes: - Obviously, it'd be a team mode now. So now the points of every team member are added up for the Team Score. And the team with the higher Team Score wins. If there's a draw, there'd be overtime, until one team takes the lead. - Add balloons with multiple colors that are worth more points The normal balloons would earn you 1 point for every one you pop. However, this game would also have balloons with multiple colors, which are worth more points. Of course, the more points a balloon is worth, the less often it appears. - Balloons would spawn more frequently and in multiple areas all over the map If you are one of the few people, who ever got to play the Battle Dojo in the first game, I think you might remember how it works. There is an area marked on the map and balloons will spawn there after some time. But in this mode, the balloons would spawn much faster, instead of having to wait for like 10 to 20 seconds for them to spawn. Also, balloons would also now appear in multiple areas all over the map, instead of just one area. And also in different intervals. So it'd be much more chaotic now. Turf Wars is all alone in the Regular mode. It's time to add a new Regular mode for once, instead of giving all the new modes to Ranked only. Of course, since it would be a new Regular mode, it'd also have items. - Splatfest Ranking and Scoring The way you'd rank up and thus earn Sea Snails, I'd do a little differently. Again, I think it is too winning-oriented. Instead, while winning is one way to earn points for your title, I'd add more things that can earn you points. Like helping out a teammate, splatting enemies that fire at your teammate, assisting in a splat, Booyahing together in the first 10 seconds of a match. These things would net you more points towards your title. So ultimately it's not so much about winning during Splatfest, as it is about sticking together and working as a team. Performing teamwork actions would actually reward you more, than just winning the match. And it'd perfectly work with the team-mentality of Splatfest. An "Alternate Way" to handle this would be to ditch the Splatfest leveling altogether and instead collect "Splatfest Tokens". You earn Splatfest Tokens after every match, depending on how much turf you inked, whether or not your team won and by performing various teamwork actions during the game, like the aforementioned examples. Again, you would get the most rewards out of working well as a team and not for winning. You could spend Splatfest Tokens at a vending machine for Sea Snails, Ability Chunks, unique gear or Food/Drink Tickets (which you could freely pick even). You know funfair's in real life, where you can win tokens and exchange them for various rewards? Yep, that was my main inspiration for this alternate idea for Splatfests. And it's very fitting in my eyes. ;) And that's it! That's all the ideas I have that could really make Splatoon 2 better. Or maybe even a possible sequel. If you want a polite discussion, I'm all for it. But I won't be talking with people that obviously want to troll, completely trash me for my ideas or performing any inconsiderate, disrespectful or hostile action against me. That's all. See you.

my house of cards.
Tumblr media
i didnt post yesterday because it took me the day to process all the bullshit.
heres to another kick in the balls this year.
Tumblr media
the day started out good.
there were some shop antics.
I had to load a coworker's truck so i used every strap in the truck to secure the load of 2 cases and two brief cases.
Tumblr media
I helped around the shop, and went to lunch before my run.
I ate at flamebroiler.
when I came back I jumped in one of the trucks and delivered some lighting equipment to Laguna beach high school.
as I was driving back I went down a large hill on "3rd street".
I remember that street as a kid.
Tumblr media
I dont think I've been up or down that hill since my family was still "a family".
it opened up an array of old feelings and memories of my childhood.
I thought about when my parents were still married.
I thought about the yellow Volkswagen square back that was our family car.
I thought about living on base housing in tustin.
I thought about my friend troy, who was my bestfriend in 4th grade.
we got in lots of trouble.
he used to live in Laguna beach.
Once he and I decided to sit on his skateboard and charge the giant hills.
Tumblr media
we could go as fast as the cars (and we did) which I'm assuming were doing 30 plus mph. I sat in front and acted as the brakes.
Tumblr media
my mom had a shit fit when she noticed my brand new shows were worn through.
I remember troy falling off the back and watching him tumble violently as I tried to stop the skate board. he was okay though just a few scrapes.
Tumblr media
we bought mice at the local pet shop and took them back to his house.
apparently his mother wasnt to happy about that and I dont think I was ever invited back. like I said, we got in lots of trouble.
we are still in touch, we chat on facebook from time to time.
I also thought of my old therapist Joan and her daughter kristen.
i had a secret crush on her.
i can remember her singing the animal crackers song when we were kids.
she comes up in random thoughts every now and then.
it would be nice to find her.
if the fates will it, it shall be. right?
I would love to see how her life turned out.
youtube
now we're getting to the juicy part.
when I returned, i was told that i had to see the owner.
everyone pretty much knows that is not a good thing.
when I walked in he looked uneasy.
he took a deep breath and informed me that he knew of my situation, but he had to lay me off because of all the cancellations due to the recent outbreak of corona virus.
Tumblr media
it seems that everytime I find myself in a good spot I get blindsided.
Tumblr media
The last time I had a good job it was in land survey.
I was doing okay until the crisis in 08 or 09.
I was laid off, and i wasn't able to get my job back because it required a college degree.
i was a freelance stagehand before that.
I pretty much worked for everyone and their dog.
After a stent on unemployment and a failed job attempt at a rehearsal studio in burbank, (basicly management were a bunch of assholes. I resigned.)
and as well as a failed relationship (maribel).
I went running back to freelance life.
I had been freelancing with my current, or let's say most recent company for over a year.
I was at a gig at a local theater one day. I had to call in to verify some hours.
And out of the blue my boss offered me a full time position at the company.
for once I was in the right place at the right time.
I was extatic.
Tumblr media
I had finally escaped the freelance world, and even though I wasnt making what I need to live at a relative comfortable level I felt that I had an honest chance.
so now here I am. the bills are rolling in, the red baron is dead, I'm making car payments on steely dan, the hobo compound is closed for business permanently, and I'm living on the couch at uncle Frank's or in my car, and I have no job.
what the fuck!
what's next?
I'm afraid to actually say something. it might set those wheels in motion and come true.
You know, things can alway's get worse.

Q and A with TOMMI MUSTURI
Recently following my trip to Europe, I collected a few comic books from artists in various countries. Mr. Tommi Musturi operates out of Finland, and has published a weird, whimsical series of wordless comics featuring a ghostly vaguely homer simpson-esque character and his adventures known as “Samuel.” This is the 2nd installment, and I decided to correspond via email a Q and A. He responded with some very thoughtful answers and I’m happy to share them with you here.
-Aaron Shunga
Tumblr media
1. I grew up reading Moomintroll by Tove Janson as a kid. I notice a mysterious, fantastic quality in both her work and yours. What do you think the connection is here if any?
I suppose every Finnish kid has some connection with the Moomins. When I grew up I read the Moomin novels illustrated by Tove. My sister who is nine years younger grew up along the 90s Japanese animation and the generations after that were suddenly surrounded by all the merchandise, a new comic magazine drawn in the style of the 90s animation and so on.
It took until I was adult I really started to read the Moomin comics. They were originally made for adults and I remember trying to read them as a kid was kind of tricky. They were also all black and white which was of course lame in eyes of a 10-yo. The Moomin comic appeared (and appears) in several newspapers around Finland so it was familiar as well. However, an early 80s magazine version of the stories with covers taken from the late 70s puppet animation (I think it was made in Poland) existed for few years. I’ve been collecting those on my adult age. Didn’t know it existed back it was getting released.
What I still prefer are the actual novels. Beside being an artist, Tove was a great writer as well. The novels are more surreal and irrational as well. The atmosphere is really stong in all of them.
The comic version of Moomintroll is of course all great stuff as well. Notice that big part of Moomin comics were actually drawn by Tove’s brother Lars. I think for Tove’s career it was essential that she had such great people around her helping with things here and there. In the end she wanted to be a painter, not a comic artist. That’s kind of sad though but maybe presents the times and the fact that comics were seen merely as ‘cartoons for kids’ or something immoral. There was indeed a nice recent exhibition of her paintings in Finland just couple of years ago. It was not that bad but I still prefer the writings, comic & illustration work she made.
Anyway, there’s a Moomin museum in my current hometown Tampere and they present quite a wide variety of original art as well. I must say it’s some of the best drawing work I’ve ever seen. I could watch those small detailed pieces again and again and I think most of the people who visit the place feel the same. It’s inspiring of course. Especially her use of light and shadow. Sometimes there are almost no outlines at all. The forms appear in depth.
So, I think Moomins somehow come in our 'mother’s milk’ over here. I can’t really say that they inspired me to do this or that. However, I see things I share with Tove – there is sort of melancholic level that’s always present there below the surface, the taste of life is something I also aim at (meaning I tend to go through a variety of emotions in my work), she respects nature as well and there’s this sort of simplicity in it all, though the content is kinda complex.
However, if you at some point try to draw the Moomintroll you’ll notice how damn difficult it is.
2. One drawing that stands out to me in the book is an old man with a word balloon full of gestural abstract ink brush strokes. I feel that this is an aesthetic choice others try to enforce upon you. What is your opinion on Jackson Pollock and Gary Panter?
That image was indeed based on an idea that some people tell their views too late. So I present Samuel as this old alcoholic guy without any friends shouting alone in his dirty apartment. There is no one to listen to what he says so the language might as well something abstract. He could basicly say anything, have any opinion and there is no effect to the world around him. What makes this merely meta notation on Samuel’s comics in general is the fact that Samuel has been a mute comic until now. So, this was the first time the guy spoke out. Of course, Samuel as a character does not want to end up like that so the image of the old guy is merely a possible future. I think Samuel in general is much stronger indeed. Though he does not speak (or have any expressions on his face) his acts are usually statements to the world around him.
I’ve actually drawn now another image where Samuel speaks. There’s a small ad I did for Kuti magazine (a free Finnish comics newspaper, with English subtitles so get it!) with Samuel standing on Trump’s cut-off head and speaking to the reader. So maybe he’ll speak from now on but only in advertisements. This’d be perfect 'sell-out’. We all love capitalism and will do anything for it, won’t we?
In this 2nd book ('Simply Samuel’ that is) I’ve pictured several moments of Samuel’s possible life. So along this 'image of him as old’ I’ve drawn him as semen, showing how her mother and father met, how he gets younger and goes back to his mother’s vagina etc. It’s sort of play with time which this 2nd book does a lot. Sometimes time goes backwards. I’m fooling with the reader as I like that kind of stuff as a reader as well. It keeps you awake.
What comes to Pollock and Panter. Well, good artists of course. I indeed did a study on Pollock in art school. That’s like 20 years ago. I like his works but it’s of course bit out-dated these days. I wouldn’t have wanted to know him as a person. What comes to Gary, he is of course been an inpiration for long time. I used to run the publishing house Huuda Huuda (we quite a year ago in December 2016) and we ended up releasing a book from Gary in Finnish. Or actually it was two books as we made this big-size doublebook (that one can read from both ends) with both Jimbo’s Inferno and Purgatory. This was quite a project indeed and took us +one year to produce. The first translator gave up with Purgatory but the 2nd (Teemu Manninen, a Finnish poet) made great job with it. I spent two months lettering it all by hand. It was one of the most painful lettering jobs I’ve ever done. I think there was a tear in my eye at some point. Anyway, the book turned out great and I think the version of Purgatory is still the only translation of it. I remember that Gary emailed me after the project something like “I thought you couldn’t do it” which was the best complement I could’ve got.
What I like in Gary’s work is that is sort of 'a mash-up’ of different styles. I think 'style’ is merely a capitalistic tool and if you’re doing art you should try to stay far from it or put it all through a mincer.
3.  Compared to your last book, there is much more violence and action. What led you to this decision? You have several scenes in which Samuel dies, via car crash or by fists.
In Samuel’s case it’s obvious that he can die whenever I want. I’ve always had this idea that the his novels are sort of 'longplays of a computer game’. So basicly he may die at any point and then I start from scratch in the next story. This is kind of reliefing thing for myself as an artist though I don’t really 'like’ to kill or torture him. It just happens. I like dark humour of course as that’s the key thing to stay sane 2017.
Anyway, I myself also noticed that this 2nd book of his is much more violent compared to the 1st one that’s overall mood was merely 'beautiful and melancholic’. I did not have any plans to do this so it all just happened. I’ve tried to analyze myself why it came out like this and the only thing I could think of is that it presents the vibes of the times. It is no secret I’ve felt utterly frustrated with what mankind is doing for the world that’s raising them. It think this frustration and pure anger somehow came visible in this new book. What comes to action, this 2nd book is more complex and has TWICE the amount of ideas in it compared to the 1st book. It’s more fragmented and complex in away as well. So, there’s more going on compared to the 1st book that was merely really calm in it’s storytelling. I might go back to that if I do a 3rd book.
Tumblr media
4.  There are instructional elements to your story, as if one were reading a manual on how to build a hobo guitar or bake artisinal bread. This reminds me of Chris Ware. What are your opinions on his work?
I’ve never read that much of Ware indeed I must say. I’ve got some 90s Acme magazines, some big Quimby-book and Jimmy Corrigan but I haven’t really read what he has done the past ten years. It’s good stuff of course but I think I respect him more because of his experiments with storytelling than because the actual content. He is one of the greatest contemporary comic artists of course, there’s no doubt. When it comes to his info comics I think I’ve seen this kind
stuff in early American comics & kids’ magazines. Silly Symphonies used to have the same kind of cut & paste parts. So I suppose his idea to use info comics came from there.
Anyway, in general I don’t read that much comics these days. I think most of comics are not very good indeed. I get couple of meters (in shelf-space) of comics every year that I try to go through though. However, if I had to choose in-between of a comic or a novel I’d choose the latter. Literature is inspiring. If there are maybe tens of important comic books ever made, in literature there are thousands.
Anyway, going back to my own drawing… when I was a teen I think I aimed to simplify what I did on paper. I liked Didier Comés and Charles Burns for example, both having very clear images. We had a really good comic store in Tampere during early 90s, with a mailorder of course (I lived on the countryside with my parents back then) so I bought a lot of stuff that FB and D&Q put out, along with lots of material from France and Belgium (like Freon & Amok releases, some Atak’s early stuff, Reprodukt’s releases etc). Anyway, when I was around 18-yo my drawings were very close to what my graphic novel The Book of Hope looks like – very clear line, simplified colours and so on. When I went to art school I indeed tried to 'destroy’ this style that I was already bored with. So I started to experiment with lots of different styles, equipment, techniques and sizes and even went to something that was more realistic. When I used these maybe more realistic styles with comics they never really worked that well. At some points (after few years and lots of work made) I came to a conclusion that in comic narration the art should be somehow simplified – it’s kind of unseperataple part of the comic storytelling. So, I went back to this simplified old style and started to work on The Book of Hope. Later I developed this mathematic thin & clear line for Samuel. Both of these works look very oldschool in a way. This is a trick of course as the content is much more complex than it appears. So, the reason I ended up in these styles was merely a result of experimenting and going through it all and process what I had done.
The info comics I’ve included in the recent Samuel book (there was some in the 1st book as well, originally published 2009) are actually inspired by a Finnish book from 1930s – Kodin taitosanakirja ('The Home Dictionary of Skills’). That’s a book that was sold even after wartime, there are tens of updated editions of it. The idea of this (thick!) book is simply: to tell how you should do things that are essential for life. So, basicly there are 'simple instructions’ on how to build a house (!), a boat, make porridge, rye bread and so on. It’s such a rich book so full of information that I keep on going back to it every now and then. Most of the things you wonder about can be found from it indeed. Anyway, what I like the most in this case is the basic idea of the book. That is what inspired me to add info comics in Samuel’s book as well. I didn’t want them to be just any funny informative comics but instructions that give value for life. First there was an idea to make a seperate big book with only these instructions but in the end I thought it might work better if I mix them with illustrations and more normal comics. In general I like diy-culture, repairing broken stuff and so on. It’s a view on life in all: you can do most of it by yourself. That’s could also be a motto for Samuel.
4.  I notice in general the very clean, almost vector like aesthetic. Do you find yourself at peace with technology?
I did live pretty much nerdish childhood; Got my first computer (Commodore 64) when I was 9-yo, collected lots of different things etc. Anyway, I gave up playing games quite early and got involved with sub culture called 'demoscene’. It’s sort of audivisual culture where people create things together in small 'groups’. I ended up making graphics while some others in our group (that’s called 'Extend’ and it still exists) made musich and code. So I basicly learnt to draw on computer (pixel by pixle back then, with a joystick, it was mid-80s) before on paper. My relationship with computers and technology is kind of natural I think. For art it’s one tool next to a brush, lightbox, canvas etc. However, I prefer working on paper most of my time. Never owned a tablet or even tried one. The basic advice ’d be that one should always know what he or she is about to do when turning on the computer. You can easily see it in art if somebody is just trying out things in Photoshop without much knowing where to aim at. Working on paper means you do more mistakes and mistakes are indeed the key thing to learn something new. You should look at the mistake and think how you could use it. When drawing straight on computer people can try to get 'the perfect line’ as long as they want – even a crappy artist can aim at something out of his or hers artistic cababilities and reach it. However, the bad thing with this is that it is usually not his or hers image that was the target but an idea of something someone had made – a specific technique or some image from subconscious. I mean: if you’re not aware of what you’re doing, this all usually leads to the actual result that they had in mind. With my own work I like to change the plan on the way all the time so the result is more an individual than the plan. I think it’s better to learn to live with the mistakes than trying to avoid them.
With Samuel and The Book of Hope I did all the colouring on computer. But for example in Samuel you can see 'a shadow’ layer on all the colours. This shadow was indeed as well done on paper so I basicly have always two originals for each Samuel page. The originals of the shadows look often like childish Sin City. In both books the colouring is bright and simple, kind of 'dead’ as well. In Samuel’s case the colours are important part of the actual storytelling. It’s really veeery slow process indeed and I don’t know why I do it like I do it. Well, maybe it’s ok not to reason everything.
5.  There is a scene when Samuel enters a cave, and a panorama from above at three quarter degrees reveals a dungeon full of peril. Is this a reference to videogames, of the fantasy RPG genre? Do you think videogames influence your work?
As told before, there has been sort of idea of Samuel’s life 'as a game’ but that’s pretty much it. I stopped playing computer & video games early 90s to focus on doing stuff with the machines. I was also aware I could easily develope an addiction with games so it was better to focus on something else. Anyway, I still go back to that idea of a game every now and then when starting a new Samuel episode. It’s kind of liberating as 'with the new life’ you can start everything from the beginning. This doesn’t apply for OUR real lives of course, so I’m on a bit thin ice here.
This specific spread in the recent Samuel book was intended to be 'a labyrinth of daily routines’. The whole episode is kind of melancholic, Samuel is not doing much, just wandering around, throwing some stones, collecting fruits. On top of a hill he finds this cave and goes in just to find a labyrinth full of dangers, requirements, responsibilities, pressure etc. He manages to get through it (with minor damage) and gets out to find this paradise like environment again. I suppose this is a good example on how I use symbolism in Samuel’s stories and in all my comics indeed. The simple idea of this piece is of course that sometimes our lives are struggled (that’s part of a life, probable) and once you get through the struggles you will find something better. Very simple, spiced with small nuances in action.
What comes to games, I do actually like to play in general. I did sports for fun when I was a kid and teen. Started to play street basketball again couple of years ago… that’s more for fun as well. Anyway, we’ve tried some oldschool stuff recently. Indeed we made our own playing card game with my fiancee Tiina. It’s called 'Little Red Ridinghood’ and it’s indeed one of the best 2-player card games (with the normal pack) I’ve played. Suppose we should spread it around at some point. A year ago we indeed started to play the original Dungeons & Dragons again (after +20 years) which is kind of entertaining and educating because the world around the characters is so strong and evil one can die basicly any moment. I haven’t (yet) found much inspiration for my comics in it though. During summer we usually take some dices along when going in the forest or on the lake, play some Yatzy or stuff. I like the simplicity in that. Also playing Othello or Go with stones. Anyway, I never even tried PS or Xbox or something recent. Don’t have a smart phone either. There’s some lousy golf game in my crappy phone. It’s kind of entertaining though. What I like in “playing” in general is that it still very much the same experience as when you were a kid. So, I think all the adults should play all the time indeed. That’d make the world much better place already.

My Ninja Way 3
I meet Gaara and Sakura at the gate with my stuff. Sakura hugs me and we hop on the carriage.
"So, Hana what happened. Shikamaru only told me to pack and go to the gate?" Sakura asks. Gaara looks interested as well.
"It's not important okay," I say while pulling out a book to read. Sakura huffs and looks out the window. Gaara sighs and closes his eyes. A few hours later we arrive at Suna No Kuni. I poke Gaara and we get out of the carriage. The hot sun is blaring down on us which is making Sakura and sweat like a pig. We arrive at the gat and 2 people are waiting for us.
"Gaara, who are these two?" a man says while pointing at us.
"Did no one tell you pointing is rude," I say snapping at him.
"This is Hana and Sakura. They'll be staying with us for a little while," Gaara explains. The guy nods and reaches to shake our hands.
"Sorry about earlier. I'm Kankuro and the little guy is Shinki," Kankuro says. Sakura shakes his hand and waves at Shinki. I ignore his hand and wave to Shinki as well.
"Who's kid is he?" I ask. I don't see any other adults around.
"He's my adopted son," Garra says. I nod and we head into the village. People point and whisper about Sakura and me as we walk. I growl when one of them gets to close. We arrive at a building similar to the Hokage's tower back at home. We enter and Sakura and I have to show them our ID's. We head to Gaar's office and he starts a report of his mission. Shinki goes to play with toys in the corner and Sakura joins him. I sit down on a couch and start off where left in my book. Kankuro sits down next to me but I ignore him. A few hours past and someone pokes my arm.
"Yes, Sakura?" I ask.
"Shinki and I are hungry. Can you get us some food?" she asks.
"You have money and legs as well Sakura," I say eyes peeking over my book.
"But can you go with us. It will be fun I promise," she says. I groan.
"Fine, I'll go with you," I say. They cheer and grab their stuff. I grab my weapons and wallet and head to the door. Sakura and Shinki head to the door as well. Before we leave I turn around.
"We'll be back soon ok," I say to Gaara and Kankuro. They nod and we head out. We enter the village and Shinki drags us to his sushi place about a mile away.
"I'm shocked that this place has a sushi bar," Sakura says as we enter. The place is pretty empty except for a group of teens. We head to the counter to order our food.
"What do you guys want?" I ask while looking at the menu.
"We'll have a shared tuna roll please," Sakura says. The worker nods and makes their food.
" I'll have a spicy tuna roll with extra spice please," I say. Another worker gets started. It takes about 5 minutes to make our food. It takes about 5 minutes to make our food. I grab it and thank the workers. I head to where they're waiting for me.
"Here you go, "I say while handing them their food.
"Thank you," they both chime. I wave my hand it's fine. We eat for a little until Shinki asks me a question.
"Are you and Sakura dating?" he asks. Sakura blushes and I chock on my sushi. Sakura pats my back as I slowly gain my breath back.
"No, we're not dating. Why would you think that?" I ask him. He shrugs and keeps eating.
"You guys just seem really close," he says.
"Well, listen, kid, we are not dating," I explain to him. He nods and we all keep eating. We finish about 20 minutes later and I pay for the food even the is though Sakura was supposed to pay. We head out and go back to there tower. This time we don't have to flash our IDs. We head up to the top floor and walk into Gaara's office. To our shock, Konohamaru is there talking to Gaara and Kankuro.
"Hana, thank goodness you're here, "Konohamaru says panicked.
"what's wrong? Did something happen to Sophia, Aiden, the twins?"I ask.
"It was Naruto's family. They were attacked and a note was left for you and Sakura," he says. He hands us a piece of paper with a Jutsu seal. I undo the seal and open it.
dear Hanaie and Kura,
it's Addison. sorry not sorry for hurting his family. If you want answers meet me at our spot at 5.
-love addi
I growl and crumpled up the paper and throw it out.
"What time is it?" I say. Sakura checks the clock above Gaara's desk.
"It's a 4:54. Why do you ask?" she tells me.
"Because I'm going to get answers, "I tell her. I grab my kunai and walk to the door. Sakura grabs my arm.
"Hana wait, you can't go alone. We don't know how strong she is," she says.
"I'm fine alone okay, "I growl out.
"No please at least take me and Konohamaru with you," she pleads.
"No, I'm not putting you guys in trouble," I say. Konohamaru walks forward and puts a hand on Sakura's shoulder.
"How about I go with you and Sakura stays behind," he says.
"Fine, you can come with me," I say. I open the door Konohamaru follows after me. We teleport back to Konoha No Kuni. We walk to a garden very far from the rest of the village. Addison sits on the bench tossing a kunai in the air and catching it.
"What happened to Sakura, Hanie?" she asks.
"I didn't let her come," I tell her.
"Aww why not I haven't seen her in person in forever," she says smiling.
"You really think I'm going to let you near her. Now tell us why you attacked them. He sent us to Suna as you wanted," I say.
" I know but do I look like a person who keeps promises," she says. I growl and throw a kunai at her chest. She disappears and appears with a kunai at Konohamaru’s neck.
“Hey put that kunai down and back away from him," Igrowl out. She giggles and disappers.
"I'm all bored , let's play another game," she says. She leaps in the air and her long blond hair flows behind her. She thorws 3 shuriken at us. Konohamaru dodges in time but one of them hits my right arm. A couple strands of my hair falls to the ground.
"Hana, are you okay?" Konohamaru yells. Addison laughs and throws more shuriken at us.
"I'm fine, are you okay?" I groan out clucthing my right arm. I grab 3 of my kunais and throw them at her.
"Fire Style! Blaze of Glory,"I shout out pushing throw the pain. I aim at Addison and she falls to the ground. I get up slowly and walk over to her. I gesture for Konohamaru to follow me. Just before we can check if she is alive smoke appers. Once the smoke dissappers there liesa tree log.
"Dang it she used the art of substitution," I say. I cluch my arm and look around . A piece of paper lays there on the bench. I walk over a pick it up and read it.
dear Hanie,
I'd love to stay for more but I've got plans later so I had to go. Hope your arm heals(not). Sorry not Sorry.
-love addi
I scoff and pass the bloody paper over to Konohamaru. He reads it over while trying not to touch the blood. He hands it back to me and starts to talk. Before a word can get out everything around me went black.
When I wake up harsh bright light blinds my eyes. I squit and look around.
"Hana, are you awake? Can you hear me?" a voice asks me. I turn my head and Sophia sitting down holding my hand. Her eyes hold concren for me.
"I'm good. Where am I?" I ask her.
"You're at the hosptial because you lost too much blood. What were you thinking?" she saysI shrug and look at my arm. A bandge wraps around my arm croving what I assume is a stitch.
"Is Konohamaru okay?" I ask her. I look out the window and it's alomost dark.
"He's okay. He's the one who brought you here," she says. The door opens and Sakura runs in out of breath.
"Are you okay Hana? I heard what happend," she says while walking to the bed. I giggle and open my arms.She hugs me tight.
"I'm fine, just a little stratch," I say. She sighs in relif and Konohamrua walks in.
"Good to see you awake. I told Lord Hokage what happend. He and the others are looking for her now," he tells me. I nod and slowly sit up on the bed.
"I need to use the bathroom," I say. Sophia and Sakura help me stand up. I walk out of the room and walk down the hall. I head to the bathroom and get out quickly. On the way back I hear voices at the front desk.I walk over and peek over the wall. It turns out the voices are Sakura, Sarada, and Sasuke talking to the lady at the front desk.Sarada looks over to my direction and gasp. She runs over and hugs my tight. I hug her back and Sakura and Sasuke walk over after talking to the lady.
"Oh, Hana I thought I never see you again," Sarada cries out in my stomach. I laugh and hug her back more.
"It takes more to bring me down," I tell her. Sakura gives me a side hug and Sasuke nods at me. The 4 of us walk back to my room. Sophia greets them and hugs Sakura and gives Sarada a kiss on the forehead.
"Is your blood level even now Hana?" the older Sakura asks me. I shrug and hop on the bed.
"I think it's fine but the docter hasn't said anything yet,"I tell her. She nods and they all sit down. We all talk for a while about random stuff. A nurse and doctor walk in . We all hush up and listen.
"Good news, your blood evel is normal and healthy. She can leave today, just don't forget to take your meds,"the docter says smiling. We cheer and I go to change clothes. Once I've changed we head to the front of the building.
"Mama can I spend the night with Hana and Sakura tonight?" Sarada asks.
"Sure you can honey," Sakura says. She giggles and runs towards us. We laugh and head out.
"Bye girls stay safe,"Sohpia says. We nods and head to Sakura's place. As we walk in to Sakura's place Sarada is basicly boncing while walking.
"Why are you so exticed?" I ask her.
"This is my frist time being away from my parents for a whole night," she says. We laugh and head to the living room. Sakura walks over to a closet door and opens it as Sarada and I sit on the couch.
"You guys wanna play some games?" Sakura asks. We nod and she brings some games over for us to play.

Do car insurance companies know how long I have been a licensed driver for?
When I was younger I remember a distant family member telling me to get my CA state ID as soon as I can because when I get a driver's license and a car the insurance companies won't be able to tell which I got first. All they see is when my ID# was assigned to me, and that it will look like I have been a driver longer and get a better rate. I don' know if this is true. I am getting my first car in about a month and I want to get a good price on insurance. Need more info? I got my California state ID when I was 20 and my CA drivers license when I was 25 and I am 26 now. So there is a big difference of time. I know it sounds kinda dishonest but I have been driving since I was 17, so I do have good driving experience but it might not look that way since I've only had my license for a year and a half, when it could look like I have been a good driver for 6 years.

Switching insurance companies to get the car fixed?
The accident was not at my fault. Had a police report. Contacted both insurance companies. Got a rental car and check ($1500) from other party's insurance company (NJ Skylands) as decided to go through them. Brought the car to body shop and found out NJ Skylands wants to cheat and pay less. So I called my insurance company (State Farm) and reopened the claim to go through them. State Farm took deductible and issued a check for $1788. Body shop wants to get $2788 for repair. Can I still use that check for $1500 to cover the rest of expanses?

How does motorcycle insurance work?
So I just wanted to know a little about the pay brackets with motorcycle. Im not talking specific numbers cause I know to just get a quota for that. What I heard is for things like scooters or bikes under 150cc there is a bracket. Then it goes up for anything between 150cc to less than 400cc. Then after that you can expect insurance to go up more when you get into the 600cc supersports and so on. I know im wording this kind of poorly. It makes sense just like how insurance for a Ferrari is going to more than a pickup truck or economy car. I just remember someone saying on a forum that they got a ninja 400r and they were happy that its technically a 399cc engine bucause if it was just a bit more the insurance would have gone up to the next class in motorcycle insurance. I just wanted to know if someone can help explain how this works. I wouldnt mind having something stronger than a 250 or 300 motorcycle but if it means that insurance is going to double or something for a 600 or 650 then I may stray away from it because I still have insurance for my car. Also on a side note how exactly does super sport insurance typically compare to standard bikes? For example maybe a gsxr 600 or CBR 600 vs something like a SV650. Both have similarly sized engines but Im sure 600 super sports are more aggressively tuned and other factors. Lastly my one friend had a Kawasaki. I cant remember what kind but it may have been like a 2002 ninja 600? Anyways his monthly insurance was like less then $20 a month! Does anyone know what kind of coverage he may have had. When he crashed it, insurance paid for the damages to the car he hit and for himself. The bike however, was not covered at all. Is this a real thing or am I remembering it wrong? Sorry about the book! I was just curious. Thank you everyone for the help!""
Does car insurance cover only one car per policy?
Like, if I had many cars, would the policy cover all those cars for one fee or would I have to get insurance for each car?

""What is the definition of a total loss car by the insurance company?, Is it possible to get my car back?""

What can car insurance sue me for?
About a month ago I was involved in a fender bender. I don't have insurance and I let the guy know that. He told me just to pay his deductable for the damages and we'd be done. He wouldn't report it to insurance or come after me for any damages. I paid him the $ for his deductable and didn't hear anything for a few weeks. Today I got a call from his insurance company claiming that they are coming after me for full damages. All of this after I paid him what he wanted. They are threatening to sue me for my car. My car is worth a lot more than the damages were to his. Can they do this? I'm not sure where to go from here.

Insurance? for laptop without getting home insurance?
I'm worried my brother hasn't as of yet insured his expensive laptop.

(some policies like Barclays Gadget insurance make it almost impossible to make a claim ie: you can only claim if there's been a forced entry or if the Sim card is still in the phone whilst traveling. Well he lives with 8 other students and the landlord doesn't provide home isnurance in the contract, people are comming in and out of the house any one could take it from his room and the landlord won't allow him to put a lock on the door. If he's traveling abroad he will use a different SIM so... If he buys yearly travel insurance most only cover a single item up to 400, his laptop is an Applemac. Which would cover an expensive item without charging a monthyly fee above 10 per month? Stupid question but is it possible to jsut get content insurance for one room instead of Home insurance? Gadget Insurances seem pretty expensive and a lot of them don't cover the full spectrum of problems, stolen laptop whilst unattended in a hotel, lost, accidental damage even if the item is over a year, Thoughtbubble never even replied to his email enquiry. Bank insurance, they are limited and have similar policies such as above. Natwest have the advantage Gold and home contents insurance but it works out at 12 per month and his iphone won't be covered as phones have to be under 100. I don't have home insurance so he can't use ours. Please what else could he consider and no he's not giving back the gadgets and he is very careful but anything can happen.

Insurance for 1998 Corvette for 18 Year Old Male?
Okay, so this question is one of those, if you have to ask you can't afford it type of questions. Now I have loved Corvette's since I was old enough to identify cars. I have always dreamed of owning on, and the opportunity is upon me. After selling my car, and saved money, and saved funds, I can afford a 1998 Corvette Silver Automatic. Now it's a V8, and is pushing over 300HP easy. Insurance is ridiculously high, even with 2 and a half years of perfectly safe driving. (I hate the stereotype of just because I'm young, I'm an unsafe driver. Alas, all the idiots ruin it for us safe young adults.) Anyway the Vette clears out and is mint shape, no accidents, and is selling for $14,900 with 74K miles, a steal if you ask me. Anyway I have over $16,500 saved up, which leaves me with an issue. I can afford the car no problem, but I just know the insurance will be through the roof. However I was wondering if any of you have any idea on the cost. I have Metropolitan if you were wondering.""

I'm studying abroad in China next semester and want to know if I can add my friend to my car insurance?
Since I'm studying abroad, I have to find something to do with my my car. My friend is willing to take the car while I'm gone, but I've had some complications with my insurance. I spoke with my insurance rep, and she strongly discouraged me from adding my friend onto my policy. She said since my name was on title and on the off chance he had an accident, the person involved can go after the insurance as well as my future earnings. It seems really unlikely that someone could get that much money out of the insurance and continue to go after the car owner as well, but I'm concerned. Can I have my friend sign something that will state he will pay me back for the future earnings lost if they pursue me? If so, what kind of form and what needs to be stated? Will it hold up legally? I also thought of selling my friend the car for a dollar so his name would be on the title instead of mine; however, I have a 10 year accident free discount that knocks off over $200 in insurance a year and that would disappear if I ended my coverage. I would have my family take the car while I'm gone, but I don't have family in the area. I feel the best option would be to add my friend to my current coverage and have him sign something that states he will pay me back for future earnings if there is that kind of an accident. He is willing to do both, but I don't have any idea if there is such a form I can have him sign or if I should just type something up? Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks""
