Waffle bros, two examples of experimentation on fusing human crews with machines using interdimensional tech. Both are styles of monsters in my dnd campaign I’m running and part of my alt history setting that is a dumpster fire.

Adler & Sims Analysis - Part 1

A random thought i had at 4am

Sims has a skin called ‘Penumbra’ whereas Adler has a skin called ‘Umbra’.

If we look at the actual dictionary definitions for the words with a quick google search…

Umbra:

the fully shaded inner region of a shadow cast by an opaque object, especially the area on the earth or moon experiencing the total phase of an eclipse.

Astronomy: the dark central part of a sunspot.

Literary: shadow or darkness.

Penumbra:

The partially shaded outer region of the shadow cast by an opaque object.

A peripheral or indeterminate area or group.

Easier to explain with this image:

This makes sense if we look at both characters. Adler, "America's Monster", is essentially consumed by the darkness of his job. Has no desire to quit as Woods says in BO6, "Quit isn't in Adler's vocabulary."

Sims however, is the penumbra, the lighter shade. We see this all the time. In Cold War, Sims wasn't entirely on board with idea of the brainwashing. We can recall him questioning his close friend -> "Damn. Through the eye socket. You sure about this, Doc?" He knows it's wrong. Adler on the other hand is so obsessed with finding Perseus and purging evil that he essentially becomes the evil himself.

It's known that Sims and Adler have been working together a long time. Adler has called Sims soft on not one but two occasions.

-> "Don't get soft like Sims." - Adler to Bell before Fracture Jaw "recall"

-> "Getting soft in your old age, huh, Sims?" - Adler to Sims after apprehending Gusev

In Sims' bio in Cold War, it's mentioned that he's always been in the shadow of Adler. The peripheral (see def 2) . Never the one with the "spotlight".

Kind of weird how our eyes are automatically drawn to the umbra in the picture, the one with deepest, darkest shade. Just how Adler always gets the recognition because he's the one doing the dirtiest and most dangerous work without a second thought. I mean Hudson himself mentions it during a safehouse interaction.

-> "Strategically speaking, this borders on insanity. Which is precisely the type of work we rely on Adler for." - Hudson to Bell before the Lubyanka infiltration.

GRIAN GRUMBO WILDCARD REFERENCE

“Big and Bloop”

It’s a reference to the Quiz-Bot Wild Life episode where Grian got turned large and Mumbo obtained a robotic “bloop-y” voice for failing a question

RIP Mumbo. RIP Grumbo/Waffle Duo.

[thatsbelievable]

[kazepng]

do you guys think ari would be taylor swift level famous or kinda underground question mark

also reference

[bonefall]

ougghhh everyone’s talking so fondly about lionpaw and his new friendships made by the ripwater event but all i can think about is his mention of ashfur’s comment. and how lion probably thinks it’s just a little joke but ash might actually mean it :(

There's this little pearl of a theme hidden in the Ripwater Episode, if you look carefully; abuse acts on people in insidious but subtle ways.

It's Mistystar who's defensive of asking for help or admitting a problem, thinking of what she did to Leopardstar and also repeating cultural sentiment that once victimized her herself.

It's Squirrelflight shouting at her daughter for acting like she used to, because she's spent some years being yelled at in a similar way

It's Hollypaw who isn't allowed to enjoy her achievement of saving Otterpaw's life or lean into how much she has in common with Lakepaw, because she's ashamed of how she did something "wrong" by snooping

And lastly, it's Lionpaw, who's starting to believe the vicious comments that Ashfur says about him. I referenced Willowpelt partially for the sweet little irony of him teaching her recipe to her unknown grandson, Ripplepaw, but ALSO because Ashfur is starting to isolate him.

Willowpelt is the Head of Hunting, currently, a position that Lionblaze is going to succeed her in. I don't think Ashfur is playing 4D chess quite yet, but there's a couple of little motivations knocking around in Ashfur's heart for why he's nasty whenever Lionpaw interacts with her;

Ashfur hates Willowpelt, because of the events from Ferncloud's Parting. He isn't aggressive to her directly, but he does spread rumors and slander whenever possible, happy to remind others of her exile.

Lionpaw getting close to Willowpelt will annoy him. Ashfur both hates and resents his apprentice, but also feels POSSESSIVE of him. He feels like Willowpelt will "steal" what's his.

A simple but hard truth; Ashfur wants Lionpaw to hurt. Maybe Ashfur sees it in his head like "telling the hard truth" or "toughening his apprentice up," but when he makes those malicious little comments, makes him recoil with hurt, it feels righteous.

Maybe in the next draft, it should actually be Ashfur, not Blackclaw, who comes to growl at Lionpaw for bonding with Lakepaw over the spears. Maybe have Willowpelt come in to show them how to properly use one and that's actually what set Ash off. Like he just used xenophobia because it was convenient in that moment.

[banditblvd]

onemotion.com’s sketch pad thing was so unbearably laggy

[verdantachillean]

If I had/was a clone (basically we don’t know who is who) and only one of us could live, I would decide it with a triathlon of lil games,

Rock paper scissors, boxes, and sticks,

Best of three gets to live, rock paper scissors last, so we could go rock paper scissors and shoot and the winner pulls out a gun and shoots the clone with like a laser beam or something so it’d be kinda a pun.

Expert's Opinion

Grian: need you again MumboJumbo: ? Grian: that bit for sahara news

There’s more?

When Mumbo eases open the door to Sahara’s executive toilet, Grian’s at the sink. He cranes his neck, hands and teeth full of pins and clips. Dressed in red. Emphasis on ‘dress.’ Or ‘mostly dressed.’ And on ‘red,’ actually.

“Oh. Ah… Do you want me to do your hair?” Two hours ago, Grian needed help with his tie.

“What? No, I’ve got this part. How’s my make-up? Be honest… D’you think it’ll reflect weird in the cameras?”

Nah. Red lipstick suits him. And Mumbo tells him so.
