That breeze was so nice to feel. Kris needed to get out more for sure, she was wind starved for sure. Her own wings flicked at the idea of of having her wings numbed from an EMP blade. Maybe in a medical setting but it was nothing worth her continued attention as Cirrus was happy at the double attack idea. She gave a giggle and even wiggled a little as she nodded in agreement to the plan. Everything was agreed upon and now they could get things in motion. “I guess…April Fools are for laughs that have gone too far occasionally? You’ll know what mine is later, I’m just telling you when it happens, don’t freak out, it’s just meant for silly absurdity. As for the Ides of March… it being a whole ‘stab your leader’ thing, it’s a challenge? A compliment from the efforts put into successfully landing a hit.” Okay so actually talking it out made it easier to digest and embrace. Even if Kris didn’t understand all of the reasons, it was palatable for now. “I can solder and weld, I’ve practiced so much before actually beautifying the last hall so if anything, I’ll happily take the ire of that. I’ll also probably keep it to work on not being so ‘weapon’ shy. That way you and I could spar, I’m not too sure about others though.” Kris stood up on the shelf and clapped her hands together. They didn’t have long to get this done. “Meet back up at my hab? That’s where I have my set up for soldering.” It would be too suspicious if they traveled together plus she wanted to go start the psychological warfare to get Starscream all excited.

"Okay!" said Cirrus, already bouncing up and down. "I'll come to your hab as soon as I get the blades! Here-" He opened his hand to pick up Kris if she wanted, but then he hesitated.

"Oh wait! We can't be seen leaving this room at the same time. Co-conspirators need to look like we're not in cahoots at all. I'll stay here and change the message on my hologram, and then I'll leave once it wouldn't be suspicious. Ooh! And you'll know it's me at your hab because I'll knock like this-"

Knock-knock-knock. Knock. Knock. Knock-knock

Cirrus's optics glowed brighter as he schemed, and his wings gave the most un-secretive flutter.

“Oh Ciiiirruuuuus~” The sing song voice preceded the appearance of the small femme. Kris had made sure to approach Cirrus when he wasn’t in his hab or amid studies. Kris hovered at shoulder height, having gained proper control of transforming her lower legs into the thrusters she now used. It made it easier to talk to others who weren’t prone to swatting at her. Most were used to her but she didn’t push her own reflexive response time. “You are now my accomplice by association.”

Cirrus blinked as Kris floated up to him, apparently being pulled out of his own thoughts. His wings flicked up and he smiled.

"Accomplice? For what?"

n*loth not being able to bag anyone over the (human term) age of 25-30 at most is the only logical and real conclusion to me because it can be just explained away as him wanting to prove and control everything and anyone (Cus he's a man!) but being stuck in that demographic because his unbearable and vile personality is a force that nobody can look past once they've outgrown the possible fear and idolization period of anyone but also n*loth in particular.

i have to say its a strange experience taking classes on branding and marketing while being vehemently anticapitalist and scorning the economic system

That one post of my mine predictably aged like fine wine. Never let somebody on comic twitter in the writer's room😭😭😭 Like imagine a 1 to 1 adaptation of literally any event?? -1b at the box office. "Who are these people???"

my hot take on Lizzie: the Musical is that the love story becomes infinitely more compelling the more actors/the production lean into Alice's flaws and selfishness rather than presenting her as some fragile little flower who's the voice of reason (tag novel below)

There's honestly... just so many people, just so so so so so many people in this world where I'm like... aren't you people tired of this fucking... you know, I was going to call them clowns but that's really disrespectful to clowns, these people could never get their face on an egg...

Anyway, aren't you tired of this childish jackass? Don't you just want to ignore them and never have to hear about them again? If we just ignored them they legitimately would go away... don't you want that?

And this applies to... just ungodly amounts of people, from jake paul to even elon musk (just... don't touch his shit, he'll run out of money eventually with how bad he is with it), to just... name an annoying famous person and you'll name someone I've literally forgotten right now that I could never have to hear about again if people would just ignore them (unless they committed crimes, investigators are welcome to pay attention while gathering a case)

Yet the answer's always "no, we're paying so much attention to them!" and I'm just like... why? Why would you watch jake paul box? I heard about that and was like "he's still doing that shit?", and yet I guess it made a lot of money yet again and it's just like... ignore him

These people could go away, and yet

i wish there was more of an in-game reason to talk to npcs after you complete lvl 4 friendship/romance with them. i know there's the weekly wants but,, i don't know about other players but for me that's really not enough as there's no real incentive to do it once the relationship levels are full. it's like, yeah i can do it but also like, i don't have to. it's not a need.

i guess for some players it might be nicer/calmer that there's no pressure to keep talking to npcs? but for me, i just think it'd be nice to have an in-game reason to keep talking to them. as it stands now, the only reason i do talk to npcs is cause i want to, not because i need to.

ordering items from an AliExpress store, almost commit to the awful price, remember I wanted to add a cheap wooden handle, return to checkout, suddenly total is inflated an extra 40%

I'm glad to be saving money by not buying anything at all, but taking away the sale prices because I briefly left checkout is incredibly annoying. And also I don't get the thing I want

unnormal vivilly dweller thoughts in my head

[toytulini]

it is baffling to me that ppl keep insisting "if its not sprite then what IS it tho?" and seemingly do not...retain the recipes that are being shared. like you dont have to memorize them its just repeatedly "is lemonade not sprite though? how is it not sprite?"

"its lemon juice, water, and sugar"

"is it not the same as sprite?" no we just told u. does that sound like sprite to you. does sprite give you the vibe of juicing some lemons on a hot summer day? the lemonade version closest to Sprite over here, in terms of Being Lemonade, is still Notably Different from sprite, or any other soda, is probably Minute Maid, a highly processed branded lemonade that you can occasionally get from soda fountains (DESPITE! NOT BEING CARBONATED! similar to how they somehow dispense iced or sweet tea from soda fountains) it sometimes comes in a can or 2L bottle similar to soda, in the soda isle. and its Not Soda. its not Carbonated. its Trying To Pretend So Hard To Be Real Lemonade. it tastes like lemonade thats a bit sad. it is far more lemonade than SPRITE will ever be. if yall were simply insisting that lemonade is carbonated, that it was like, fizzy minute maid, that would be less offensive than calling sprite lemonade. which is Insane. good god.

Can you make any sort of statement on what's going on with saintsrowmods.com? Would like to hear your side of the story, I don't think it's fair you got banned and what-not but I understand 'tHE zONE's reasoning. Just wanted to try and give you the benefit of the doubt because I know in scenarios like this people like to point fingers.

I don't really like talking about drama hear cause its a constant in SR community and so exhausting at this but, and there isn't really much of a statement to be made tbh. I'll put something short under read more so peopl can avoid it.

What happened is that someone got into flippy's account and changed his password to make comments and he thinks saintsrowmods admins abused their power to reset passwords to make him look bad. I simply asked if he's sure someone else didn't get into it, considering he mentioned the account hasn't been used since 2013 and got banned for that question and made into a suspect. Apparently it was gaslighting.

I can't really say more except I didn't do it cause I have no reason to do something like that? If I wanted to berate Minimaul I would've done it from my SRM account, and I don't get why I'd want to make flippy look bad cause I considered him my friend? Especially not with some over the top rant, like what would be the point? I just doubted that SRM admins did it (especially since he said he doesn't think its minimaul) because it doesn't sound like something others would do. The message was originally hidden by a spam bot too, the only reason people know about this is because Admixon sent it to mrsaintsgodzilla in the first place.

still thinking abt the wreck that is train!andrew's office once he falls asleep at the desk tbh because godd i love imagining messy workaholic offices

conductors also kind of do everything on the train, like they oversee the other train employees, take payments for boarding, check the tickets, make sure passengers are safe and comfortable, etc etc so he is. SO exhausted probably

i think bc to me this andrew is kind of. stoic and polite (he would still melt if you were nice to him i think) he doesn't have many signs other than getting slightly more unkempt and i think his hands shake REALLY bad w sleep deprivation, or he seems like he's focusing on not literally just crinkling to the ground and fifudhf anywaybi really like traindrew

i watched about 22 mins of the first murder on the nord express gameplay vid btw and i'm gonna cry both victor and andrew are so djfjfj

Exactly!!

hey, hey, joanne. why, in your publishing career, have you used your gender neutral name and a male name? doesn't that mean you're forcing yourself into male spaces? why don't you want to be perceived as the gender you were assigned at birth?

So… first of all, love your art, it’s beautiful! Second, thoughts on Trolls Band Together?

I apologize if this upsets the swathe of new trolls followers I got recently, but I'm probably not going to watch it, and if I did I probably wouldn't enjoy it.

I know it's not well known Lore (TM) of mine, anymore, but I didn't think I'd like the first Trolls movie (I was dragged to go see it opening weekend) and it very pleasantly surprised me. I got really fixated and invested in it, but pretty much all official media that came out after the movie has mostly just disappointed me. The stuff I ended up liking the most about the first movie kinda fell to the wayside. So I really don't see myself enjoying this one.

It's nice that there's been a resurgence in the fandom and people are FINALLY discovering that the first movie really wasn't that bad. Sorry I'm not really participating it and my day in the sun has long since passed. I'm still pretty attached to the characters of the original film (and how they were characterized in the original film - and basically popular fanon headcanons that were born from the original film - as opposed to subsequent media) and have original comic ideas with those archetypes in mind (I wasn't kidding when I said I was planning a fleshed-out comic based on my werewolf Branch AU, but that's on the back-burner for now) but you're really not going to see me start attaching myself to all these new characters that were largely just shoehorned in. I'm sorry if they mean a lot to you but they don't really mean anything to me.

I am pretty sad that it sometimes feels like I got in - and burnt out - way too quickly given the resurgence. There are a lot of artists that I admire and respect that are just getting into the fandom and I would have loved to gush about trolls with them back in 2016-2019, in ways I'm not willing to, now. I also lament how much my skills as an artist have changed and how pretty much all of my fanwork for this very colorful franchise never really reached the coloring game I'm capable of, now (I'd definitely be willing to take trolls commissions, of course, because at this point I am pretty curious about what I could pull off, but I don't really have much drive to try, unprompted, at the moment). I dunno there's just something about it that really fills me with sadness. Like I got a LOT of attention in the trolls fandom back in the day, but it still feels like I've somehow missed my chance and that my timing was off because I can't get myself to like its sequel movies. I wish I could enjoy them, I'm sorry I don't.

That was super rambly and probably not what you wanted to hear, but I guess that's just how my thoughts spilled forth. I'm very glad to hear that you like my art. I want to keep drawing and improving and creating. If you'll stick around for that alone, that's more than I could ask for.
