Blinks like a cat

1 2 and 4 for the Oc ask?

rubs my little hands together.

ill preface this by saying that bc we're still writing PoF atm so most of what im thinking of is just before (JUST before) the departing :3c

1. What kind of person do the other members of Dragon's Watch think they are, and how accurate is that assessment?

I think... it's a mixed bag. because on one hand, they see him as trustworthy and reliable. theyve never seen him cry, theyve never seen him 'lose'. the closest any of them got was the ones who were there for Hearts and Minds (namely Rytlock who carried him back to camp when he just sat there in shock, refusing to move). and to an extent, that IS accurate.

but the main problem is that haru has never let anyone get closer than that (on purpose). its getting a little better now but he's just so... closed off. PoF is literally him at his Worst in terms of like, he's irritable, he's impatient, he's struggling to work out why he's still doing all of this. and he's afraid of not being the leader they need. sobs.

so in short, they think hes a decent guy who's maybe coping as well as anyone could in his role but probably don't see the depths of what he's hiding. and i think some of them feel that professional distance.

2. What kind of person do they think they are? How accurate is that?

oh god. i dont know if he even knows.

he probably sees himself as the (un)luckiest guy alive. all these opportunities and chances to see and do great things but he still sometimes feels like that sapling who couldn't even hold a conversation for longer than a minute.

he truly sees himself as unremarkable but with remarkable things happening to him.

as for how he thinks about himself as a person, I imagine he sees himself as just. Average. he sees enough of his own shortcomings to feel like the things that make him Good are kind of par for the course.

now... I don't really think he's Right about all that. he is a good guy and he tries his best. patting his head that's really all you can ever ask for. but yknow. being in his position, trying your best and still failing has drastic consequences.

4. How intertwined is the role of Commander with them as an individual? Are they lost without it?

oh he's nothing without it.

he was born and probably only spent a few months in the grove trying to learn how to read and speak and then suddenly it was like okay. time to go valiant. time to get to work, lightbringer. lets go, commander. he sort of got swept up in it all before he had a chance to really give any thought to what he wanted to do. because he had Nothing, no real skills or anything at birth, he probably thought he should take any opportunity he could get because lord knows he's got nothing else going for him, right?

that was at least the trigger for him to get involved. after that, well. there was another reason to stay, of course. twirling my hair.

and even though he doesn't want anything to do with the Pact on an official level anymore, and he kind of doesnt even really enjoy having a position of power like that, he would be lost without it. the only identity he ever formed was as commander. post EoD is going to be very bad for him. grinning.

dammit, I'm thinking about the possibility of adding more support for double-wardens in twinception again

not in the deep roads expedition---that definitely won't work, and if I weren't planning to use the debug to swap them both to wardens partway through juniper's playthrough I wouldn't even consider it but... it's only three cutscenes, right? demands of the qun, finding nathaniel, and the last straw, right...?

hello for those planning on voting for kamala harris. could y’all start emailing or calling her specifically to pressure her to stop the genocide. even if you’re a decided voter, mention you are undecided and that this is the issue you would flip on. here I’ll leave a link where you can email

QUICK REMINDER

In the US: threatening government officials is a felony under federal law (the president in particular is protected under 18 U.S.C. § 871). Even memes.

be careful with your jokes if they spill over to active officials.

So apparently some people new to Tumblr think a repost and a reblog are the same thing, so when they see creators asking for people to not repost, they're thinking the creators are saying to not reblog 😭

Y'all, a repost is when you copy/download the work and create a new post using the work making it seem as if it's yours. A reblog is you using a site provided feature to share the creator's post directly from the creator so that it's still credited to them and they still get all of the traction/notes from the work.

Please, reblog fics/art/etc. that you enjoy! Reblogging is not reposting! Creatives need support too, and reblogging is a way to do that!

the brushes you use for digital art dont Actually matter that much and its more about core art principles and technique or whatever. but maybe this next brush will be the one

maya angelou saying the funniest thing anyone has ever said about editing, which i can never let myself forget EVER AGAIN [x]

[prawnlegs]

I'm always seeing this sentiment of "I have got to make my art weirder" or people begging for weirder art but here's the thing, Weird is not a brand. You cannot rack your brains trying to figure out the "Weird" formula. You don't get weird art by artificially forcing whatever you think is "weird." You get weird art (and I think "weird" is sometimes people groping for a way of saying non-corporatized) by figuring out what you like, deep down, even (especially) if you think it's embarrassing and wallowing in it like a pig

And we all should be jelly.

(at least Miguel is so maybe they are closer to that dumb triangle than Wade thought XD)

[teal-deer]

I wish there was a magic skillet I could pick up that would make me literally impossible to fire from a job, no matter how weird or disagreeable people decided I am, where I could still work only part time & ideally with lots of breaks. Like sorry Ms Karen McWasp, I am a load bearing unit and the task will be done when it's done and there's jack shit you can do.

Elephant in the room time! I’d like to give a summary for everyone here.

I think we have all been waiting for someone to dig up something about Tim Walz, and what they found is a DUI from 1995.

Tim Walz was still a teacher at the time. He was with his friends, watching college football. He chose to drive home, and was pulled over for going 96mph in a 55. He was charged and fined.

Directly afterwards, he tried to resign from his teaching job out of guilt for his actions. He felt terrible, he felt disappointed in himself, and thought he didn’t have the right to teach or be a coach because of it. The principal pushed back immediately, asking him to stay. The principal refused to let him resign.

11 years later he became a member of Congress. 30 years later, he still hasn’t touched alcohol.

His drink of choice is Diet Mountain Dew.

Trump supporters are seemingly oblivious to the hypocrisy of their criticism of Walz. It has been 30 years since Walz was charged with his only misdemeanor. In May of this year, Trump was convicted of 34 felonies.
