I love that very specific trope where some character who is Famously Known Scheming Plotting Manipulator tells the main character something like "oh don't you worry, I know you know who I am, but you are both far too sharp and far too insignificant to be worth the effort it would take to try to manipulate you. What you think of me isn't worth enough for me to put in the work it would take."

And the main character quietly thinks "oh nice, she knows that I know things, and called me smart. As I also know that I am not a significant player in the grand scheme of things, she has now seamlessly combined several elements that I know for a fact to be true, peppered with things I hope are true (she said I'm sharp!), so now I know for sure that she has no reason nor intention to even try to manipulate me. Wait shit did she just escape."

The thing about fiction is that there's stuff that's completely gone from your mind in a few years but there's just some fragment or tidbit about it that follows you around forever.

Like there was this webcomic I read like 15 years ago, remember fuck all else about it but there was a character in it whose name was Saves A Fox. When she was asked about it once she explained that her people are big into prophesies and fate, and that children are named after something they were fated to do. She always hated that. And this one time she unexpectedly walked in on a wild fox gorgeing itself on her food supplies, and she knew that this was it. The fox wasn't even skittish, it wasn't trying to escape, it was almost tame, looking at her gently like just expecting her to choose mercy and let the food thief go. And everyone around her was expecting it too. But while she didn't want to hurt the poor creature, she hated the thought of having her future dictated for her even more than that.

So she snapped the fox's neck. Just to prove herself and everyone bearing witness that she had free will and wasn't a pawn of any fate or prophesy. Needless to say, her community did not like that.

Later on she learned about what rabies is. The fox she had killed had rabies. She had saved the fox from a far more terrible and slow, painful death.

i just think its interesting that ART went to SecUnit for help. PSUMNT must have a lot of resources. it had to consider them. its supposed to go to them. its not like a university that developed ART developing a weapon the Targets could steal is a less believable lie than this one specific individual/its crew will have one. its interesting that ART had more faith in SecUnit’s ability to save it and collect its crew despite only knowing it for a short period than the university’s.

Okay but jokes aside, when it comes to demon possession, "odd or abnormal behaviour" means abnormal for this specific individual. Everyone knows about the stereotypical symptoms like talking backwards or walking on the ceiling, and jokes about how you'd know that someone who's incredibly weird by nature would probably start acting more normal if they got possessed, but apparently it's not common knowledge that this counts as abnormal behaviour. Like obviously someone who's been strange as hell their entire life hasn't been possessed this entire time, but if you know someone who is odd, and has always been odd, you might want to start asking questions if they suddenly start doing things you've never seen them do before, like sitting on chairs the normal way, or using kitchen utensils for their intended purpose.

Two shipping containers. One converted into some sort of station, the other gently sinking into the regolith.

Little bit of black primer applied during construction, just where I know I'll have trouble reaching a brush later.

Do we like WiP shots?

Step 1, cut out your pieces. Remember to rebate joint your foamboard like a civilised person.

Step 2: Knoll all of the pieces before you put them together to make the process more 'gramable. Glue-gun a random piece of metal inside to provide weight.

Step 3, draw the rest of the owl.
