10 April 1945 Dick wrote to DeEtta:

In his letter to DeEtta on the 16th September 1945 Dick apparently knew plenty about love, especially about being lovesick:

In his letters he wrote between April and Sept, Dick suddenly started talking a lot about Nix. At one point claiming how untrustworthy Nix is off duty. He also kept gently urging DeEtta to go find and marry someone.

Just a bit of lore relevant vent art (with terrible proportions bc apparently I mess that up horribly when I'm tired ugh. Watch me regret posting this tomorrow. The head size is already driving me mad bc it's too big, and I can feel myself wanting to abort this mission already) of Mourynn just, lying down on top of one of those large elevated Pale Tree roots far above the Grove (and far away from everyone else), and during the time between the early years and before the Personal story. Caithe is gone (Destiny's Edge), Wynne is gone (bc well, y'know...), even Faolain is gone (bc of Caithe in DE), and she's just feeling miserable, lost, and alone. (Her hair is in between her sapling hair and the Zhaitan hair, so it's grown out a bit bc she's depressed, and she's meant to be in the new outfit she designed, but I'm in the process of redesigning it a bit, so I've made a few tentative changes for now. Her collar is now just an extension of her clavicle leaves which can be put up like a collar, or can be draped down over her shoulders or back)

[istherewifiinhell]

do u even remember how we started following each other (the first time) i just saw ur one of my earliest remainingly-visible notes on ny art from TWENTY-TWENTY and im like damn 1. its been that long 2. what did we possibly have in common then kjsf was it just IDs.

literally not a clue. but the date range is about right. if i remember correctly there was a route 'hey that post was turf shit' dm b4 any real convo. 2020 i think? so mutuals? or just one way following? for that long. really have no idea. a real zero fandom overlap at the time. just IDs. and i liked your art.

now im sure you didnt send this to give me a research project but i have a blog so i dont have have a brain so. tracking ur ghost on my posts. earliest confirmed interaction i found. oct 5th 2020. INDEED. image description bitching. there are earlier posts with the suspicious (x) notes but have only (x-1) users in the likes. maybeee there was one other blog who was a regular and deleted/got deleted but... not likely more than that.

oct 8. about shower chairs.

nov 11. loona is group, not a person

nov 13. reading the intercept is hard

dec 11. stars align sweep

suspected interactions: dogs and halloween fireworks (maybe on ur blog or maybe at a different fireworks heavy date?? oct 31, naturally), unrainbows your sprinkles (dec 1)

earliest rbing art: nov 17, dec 3, dec 18, dec 24, dec 27

No offense but I'm impressed a lot of the main Lin Kuei are wearing these short ass sleeves given the Lin Kuei base is located in a cold place. Kuai and Bi-Han probably don't get cold easily so it's more understandable but you can't tell me Smoke, Sektor and Cyrax aren't freezing their asses off and having to wear to these ridiculously thin uniforms.

To be fair, we see human Cyrax, Sektor and Smoke operating only in tropical or relatively warm environments, like Shang Tsung’s Island and Outworld, not at the Lin Kuei Temple and each of them were prepared for a specific kind of mission. Cyrax and Sektor were hired to fight in one on one type of matches meanwhile Tomas accompanied Kuai Liang to find Bi-Han’s killer so Smoke and younger Sub-Zero worked under pressure of time, as they were running away from Lin Kuei and moving on enemy’s land. Because of that we may assume their uniforms were adjusted to their individual needs and preferences to optimize their comfort but that does not necessarily mean they would wear the same clothes in-between missions when stationed at Lin Kuei Temple. 

Sektor, as born into clan, presumably grew up in the cold environment so his natural resistance to coldness may be better than Cyrax or Smoke and definitely better than average human being, but as various games showed, the majority of (no named) Lin Kuei warriors actually wear better protective, if not outright winter gear

source: Mortal Kombat Armageddon - game + concept art

source: Mortal Kombat X

source: Mortal Kombat Onslaught

so I don't think Sektor, Cyrax or Smoke would not be allowed to wear much warmer uniforms between missions and outside of training. The cryomancers though definitely are not bothered by the feel of coldness on their skin, so they may just wear the same type of clothes no matter where they are.

As for the MK1’s story mode, like literally no one cares about coldness, be it Earthrealm Champions or Edenians, but that one is the fault of game mechanics and visual storytelling for not including such issue. However chapter 1 and Sub-Zero's ending show that members of Lin Kuei (including MK1!Sektor) also wear long-sleeved uniforms in contrast to Bi-Han (cryomancer), Kuai Liang (pyromancer) and Tomas (mage(?)).

What If S2 spoilers ahead!

The second episode hit me in the chest with all the feels. A few random thoughts:

-MIDDLE AGED PEGGY???? YESSSSSSSS. MY GAL. I love all forms of Peggy, including BAMF, non-super Peggy. Peggy doesn't need powers to kick ass. <3

-Kurt Russell does a great job with Ego. I love it when the actor's work plays into why I hate a particular character. Ego is the WORST and Kurt Russell as Ego is super hate-able. A++, love me a villain that I can dislike without any need or want for redemption.

-LITTLE PETER AND HOPE! OMG! Bonding over music! Bonding over shared life experiences! Hope understanding Peter because Hope is also a kid who has dealt with terrible shit thanks to powerful parents! I love them as BFFs. Yes, please.

-BUCKY! Peggy and Howard's reactions to Bucky! Bucky's reaction to Howard pulling the Steve card! DLASKJFLAF

-Peggy/Wendy now exists in my mind as a ship, thanks!

-Wendy <3 Bill Foster <3 T'Chaka <3 80's Avengers <3

-GOOSE!

In line with the post I made of all the funny stuff to look forward to in the story, here’s some of the…less funny stuff that will happen over the course of the story. Because I love angst, and I didn’t hold back on trying to think of how some things might go realistically

- The riders dealing with all their enemies with no Berk to fall back to, Berk itself sometimes being one of those enemies

- The guilt, pain and trauma for all the riders that comes with Ant losing his leg

- Dragon training sessions on Berk going horribly wrong

- Kaiko and Will watching their thought-to-be-dead son go through everything he does, unable to change any of it (as this story is written in a ‘the characters watch their own show’ style)

- Ant having episodes where he can’t talk due to being selectively mute, because of his treatment of Berk, and the other riders and even Toothless having to learn how to help him through it

- The riders being captured and interrogated/tortured by Dragon Trappers

- The Dragon Fighting ring in RTTE being a more widespread operation

- Diving further into how the Red Death affected the dragons in her nest, and making the scene where Hiccup and Astrid (Ant and Kari here) find the nest worse

- Dragons and humans having panic/anxiety attacks

- The riders having to learn how to fight enemies outside of the ring on the fly (sometimes literally, because dragons) and not being the best at it in the beginning

- Ant being the village scapegoat due to not being white, and having no blood family on Berk to back him up, and all the internal issues that come to be because of that

- Gobber and Gothi, while being the primary caretakers of Ant who cared for him, not being perfect anyways, and still messing up in some ways

- Situations, characters, and character dynamics being complicated and messy

- No one region or faction of the world being ‘perfect’ or ��good’ or even ‘bad’. Everyone has problems, and everyone handles them differently

- Snotlout, the twins, and Fishlegs trying to be ‘adults’ for Kari and Ant, because there’s no one else to help them in the beginning, but still struggling in some ways because they themselves are still kids who want an adult to help

- Characters having complicated family dynamics, with some parents not being perfect, and with some of the riders still missing their own parents and families, while also knowing that those very people are part of what drove them away to begin with

- Some characters, while coming to an understanding and acknowledging that the other has changed, not reconciling and becoming best friends, or even friends by the end of the story

- Not every enemy is redeemed. At least one character that isn’t an enemy in the films is, and they are not redeemed at the end

yall remember that post thats like "2012 avengers fandom wanted so badly for the team to be friends and theyre barely even coworkers." that <- flaw right there is exactly what i think makes xmen media so good. even when its bad. cause at least they all live in a big house together and hang out and have interesting interpersonal dynamics and shit. like we always wanted <3
