Some T-Odd Relations

Source: #ghosts-and-bats

This is how I imagine if other bat kids saw Danny for the first time. Each of them will be like, the very first time everyone knows about Danny. This is based on Danny looking like Jason.

Dick saw Danny in Jason Todd memorial park with another girl (Jazz)

Dick (during family dinner): looking at Jason with sus eyes

Jason: ...what?...Firefly jetpack exploding is not my fault...

Dick: Do you have a child that we don't know about?

Bruce: chokes on his food

Tim saw Danny at a coffee shop order his signature coffee.

Tim (in a bat cave working on a case with Jason): i guess Harvey was innocent on this one after all.

Jason: Yeah

...feel bad for punching him in the scar side

Tim: Yeah.....oh also I think you got cloned.

Jason: EX FKING CUSE ME!??

Ooop—

Mind if I write a oneshot based off of this?

Damien meets Danny in the Gotham Dog Park, walking a very green looking dog....

He follows them want to ask what breed the dog is but they disappear around the corner

Damien during training session with Jason

Damien: Todd you should keep your reproductive liquids in check

Jason: trips his step and get kneed by Damien

Go for it XD. Credit me tho. XD.

reproductive fluids

Always do!

Duke saw Danny in a school library, but he mysteriously vanishes in one of the isles.

Duke: looking at Jason during a family movie night

Jason: Something on your mind buddy?

Duke: ....yeah nuh it couldn't be you, he was too young..

Jason: 🤨

Cass and Steph saw Danny at a shopping mall with another red hair girl (Jazz)

They are in a kitchen watching Jason make cupcakes for them.

Cass: ...👈 🤰 👨‍🍼

Steph: Nuh I don't think so, the kid look the same age as that girl.

Jason: What are you two on about?

Steph: Oh just a potential child of yours on streets of Gotham.

Jason: trips and drops the cupcakes

alfred being dragged into this as well

Just everyone thinking that’s his kid

Bruce runs into Danny at Gala (Vald drags him to it)

Bruce: brain short-circuited as he watches a younger Jason in a suit

-Somehow, he made it back home after being non-responsive according to Alfred-

Bruce: looking at Jason in the library as Jason was reading his books

Jason: Heck you want old man??

Bruce: ....Am I a grandpa?...

Jason: accidently tears a page from a book

Jason never runs into Danny but he did run into Phantom during his patrol

Jason: watches a kid makes a joke out of Joker and his goons Damn, this kid good...better shoo him out before Bats gets here

Selina meets Danny at a cat cafe.

Selina: pulls out her phone and calls her Husband (Selina and Bruce is married screw you, I want Bruce to be happy) Hey Bruce...honey...are you sure Jason is still single. Watches Danny leaves the cafe yeah...I see you met him too? Yeah...yeah...just saw him at the cafe I regularly go to...yeah...you should get the papers ready for Jason...tell Alfred to call the guy too.

I-

This is so perfect lmao

Poor Jason

Nice

Alfred meets Danny during grocery shopping. Danny helps Alfred with carry the stuff across the street.

Alfred thanks and walks back home.

Alfred: looks at Jason as try to sneak a cookie you know i don't mind having a little version of you running around Mater Todd.

Jason: drops the cookie

bruce meeting Danny on patrol

Even better if it’s Crime Alley near where he originally met Jason

Lmao he didn't respond on the comms for a good amount of hours even tho he still does patrol

Crime alley kid round two electric boogaloo

If Jason doesn’t adopt “his kid” then Bruce will

Barbara and Batkids ; Bats why weren't you responding???? We were worried.

Bruce : ....Jason has a kid and I am a grandpa...

he finds Danny near the batmobile

XD. Doesn't help Jason's case

Screw it im making it homeless baby Danny let’s heccin go

Reveal gone wrong

Danny was just trying to take a pic of the batmobile.

He socked Bruce in the stomache as he got spooked by Batman

Them having a tire iron to defend themselves

Either that or a crowbar

Or a thermos

(Tire iron cause that’s what Jason had had when he first met bats)

Crowbar for obvious reasons

Or a thermos!

jason coming face to face with Danny and wondering just who this kid is

Danny : ....Dan?!

Got Danny Nightingale cause of fentonightingale

[Danny : ....Dan?!]

O rip

Mini heart attack if he’s out of costume

Yeah XD.

Danny coming back to an apartment where he is staying.

Video call Jazz and his two bffs.

Danny : Yo guys saw someone who looks like Dan

So like what is Danny to Jason

Some random kid XD

Jason ironically doesn't see the resemblance

I mean like

Is he Jason's little brother? Son? 5th cousin twice removed??

Nothing

It's that case of 7 people in the world who look like u huh

He just looks like young Jason with a different hairstyles

[Got Danny Nightingale cause of fentonightingale]

Would be funnier if he went with Todd

Nightingale as a hero name

👁👁

Hecc ye

Todd can be Maddie’s maiden name

Gil

my only complaint is that Dan has long hair in a low ponytail and Jason has short hair and the white stripe

so he wouldn’t be that look alike

what is Danny was an attempt of a Clone child by the League of Assassins?

Gil

also we only see Dan in ghost form, danny never saw him as human

[what is Danny was an attempt of a Clone child by the League of Assassins?]

like he has Jason DNA, was rapidly aged with fake memories, now ages normally

fake memories of being a toddler*

he was raised normally after being dropped off to the Fenton’s

Gil

ok and then the Fenton’s just adopted a grown kid out of nowhere?

and are their memories altered as well?

and jazz?

probably

same with Sam and Tucker, I guess?

Gil

why not keep the clone and train them themselves (the League, i mean)

to create the perfect weapon yadda yadda

he probably had training before getting dumped

I like the idea of it literally all just being a coincidence better

No one would ever believe it, but somehow, it's still true

Or Maddie could be, like, second cousins twice removed from Jason or something

Her mom's maiden name was Todd and Danny had a really good relationship with his grandma, so he took in her name when he had to run

Grandma Todd got some lucky chances and worked her way off the streets

Willis was her older half-brother's grandson

And Jason and Danny just happen to have unnaturally close DNA matches because ectoplasm is just recognized as a new, unique allele

ooo

ye true

A covert DNA test reveals matching ectoplasm levels that make the bats think Jason's spawn

Ooooh that sounds good!

Oh same brain

Gil

ok that's fun

Yesss more misunderstandings!!!

>:D

My DNA class is finally having real world applications lol :dick_laugh:

The bats end up peer pressuring Jason into adopting what they think is his spawn.

[Her mom's maiden name was Todd and Danny had a really good relationship with his grandma so he took in her name when he had to run]

That’s legit how I’m doing it lmao

[The bats end up peer pressuring Jason into adopting what they think is his spawn.]

"take responsibility Jason"

Danny: I'm not responsibility, nor am I his

Jazz supports the adoption of his brother and Danny knows that there ain't anyway out of it

"i fOUnD HiM nEAr tHE bATMobILE, like that's an inherited trait, Bruce." - Jason

Bruce directly after- "For all I know it is"

“Have you seen this family?”

Oh Jason, getting misunderstood so badly

They think he's denying it so much b/c he's embarrassed or something

"It's okay son, we all make mistakes"

Honestly, seems legit

Jason gets all offended

"Hey, don't call him a mistake"

because that's a mean thing to say

"how could u be so embarrassed about your own son jason!?"

“Yeah I know you do, have you seen Damian?”

but they think he just admitted to it

Grem

Dick, Tim and Damian on the other side of the room having a meltdown

The 3 of them "We are uncles?"

you can't escape fatherhood now Jason >:)

How old are Jason and Danny tho

Danny is tempted to yeet himself back in time to avoid this mess, but ClockWork thinks it's funny and says no

Would be really funny if damian was younger than danny

Grem

Maybe Jason has 24 and Danny 14, but looks like he has 9

So Jason got a girl pregnant at 10!?/j

[Maybe Jason has 24 and Danny 14, but looks like he has 9]

as someone who at 14 was called an 8-year-old, i can vouch for realism

[So, Jason got a girl pregnant at 10!?/j]

it would look like 14 or 15

they're all very concerned when they find out Danny's true age

or think he's lying

Grem

[as someone who at 14 was called an 8 year old, i can vouch for realism]

I'm speaking from experience, i was 13 with the face of a baby

because obviously he was born after Jason was in the pit

blame it all on Talia, man

[I'm speaking from experience, i was 13 with the face of a baby]

ah, im just very short

Maybe they think Lazarus is radioactive and causes weird age shenanigans

Grem

[they're all very concerned when they find out Danny's true age]

Maybe they think he was put in a tank to grow faster or something like that

or that the pit cloned Jason when it brought him back

Danny having to pull out All the school records to prove that he did exist since birth

Oop

jokes on him the Fenton’s didn't file any or his birth certificate

a Steven universe situation?

Grem

He gets Jazz to testify that he indeed has 14

[Steven universe situation?]

Possibly

[Steven universe situation?]

more like they just forgot to after having the kids at home and no one pressed for records b/c it's the Fenton’s

[“Yeah, I know you do, have you seen Damian?”]

This leads to a fight that distracts from the whole supposed baby-daddy situation

Jazz has kept extensive documents on her little bro she can in fact testify

Jazzy coming in clutch lmao

Also, Danny and tucker were like attached at the hip so he can also vouch

Jazz was the one to fill the-

JAZZ CAN FORGE HER PARENTS SIGNATURES

[Steven universe situation?]

Intense confusion

Grem

And now they think she was mind controlled and those memories and papers are fake

Ooop

[JAZZ CAN FORGE HER PARENTS SIGNATURES]

This just makes then sus of the papers lmao

More and more convoluted misunderstandings

Eventually Danny just accepts it and gives up

Jazz snapping and saying that she’s the one who raised Danny and accidentally making things worse

Jazz frantically pointing "I RAISED THAT BOY

Grem

Now, it doesn't matter if he is or isn't Jason's son, they will adopt him

The Bats are worried for their safety

Danny actually being Jason’s half sibling

Through like their mom or smth

Grem

I think the 2nd cousins once removed is funnier

Ye me too

But the drama

DRAMA WITH THE HALF SIBLING SHENANIGANS

So Jason ends up adopting his half sibling/2nd cousin who everyone thinks is 9 and nothing they do can prove that he is not 9

Grem

After discovering that they are brothers, maybe they think that Maddie is curse and all her offspring will die and comeback

And Jazz is a little worried for her safety

[So Jason ends up adopting his half sibling/2nd cousin who everyone thinks is 9 and nothing they do can prove that he is not 9]

What is one more problem child

Danny keeps insisting he isn't a child, then youngblood comes along and that's all the proof needed against his claims

... what does Vlad think about this

Vlad doesn’t have a valid opinion

he's jealous

:dick_laugh:

While I’m on my art break, here’s some HCs about my lil listeners.

Sweetheart(Valentina)

- youngest sibling. But isn’t the “baby”. Has the youngest sibling syndrome of having to be the best like the oldest sibling

- was not a fan of cats until she met Aggro

- loves the chocolate cosmos flowers

Lovely (Yue)

- Speaks Mandarin

- Book smart and a smart ass

- likes to roast Sam verbally. They see him as a big brother and treats him like one.

FUN FACT! I based her off my lil sister personality wise :)

Angel (Evangeline)

- misses her cat sm, and has asked David if they can adopt a cat. More like the adopts the senior cats person (“they just need a comfy home davey 🥺”)

- could say the alphabet backwards/knows random useless knowledge.

- died her hair in high school and has stuck with that color ever since

Freelancer(Percy)

- obsessed with “Song of Achilles” and they got Lasko to read it. They both cried.

- hates sand. (Cue the whole Anakin Skywalker memes)

- can quote the whole Cars movie

Darlin (Ina)

- the scar on their nose is from trying to befriend a stray cat. They told everyone it was they got into a fight.

- likes socks. Specifically the fuzzy socks, but no one needs to know…

- a big closet Harry Potter fan and definitely tried to use a spell with their magic (Heh closet joke)

Honey (Amber)

- has an OF, BUT it’s all click bait. Sexy honey pics?? Oh no that’s just them with the cat meme with a knife face. Fans eat that shit up

- has bit Guy when he tickles them or gets too affectionate. Nom nom bitch

- allergic to mangoes

Babe (Cass)

- loves bugs. Like…obsessed. They were that kid that ran around the backyard barefoot to catch beetles

- likes longs skirts cause of the flowy look, and always wears a sweater.

- the sole reason there is a “no snacks at midnight” rule when it is pack hang outs. This gremlin will fight David for the last snack at 3 am

Sunshine (Solidad)

- has that thick curly hair that breaks 2 brushes a month

- played volleyball in high school. Kicks ass when Elliot and her friends play beach volleyball

- likes to hug Elliot from behind and hide her face in between his shoulder blades

Warden (Selene)

- Kept her given name when she’s on Elegy, but since I noticed the boys are named after constellations, she’s named after the Greek moon goddess

- definitely had that “is that not what you humans do?” like Starfire phase when she first came to Elegy

- loves the smell of Mint or Lavender

Petra (oc?)

- definitely had body confidence issues until her later years of D.A.M.N.

- hated Lasko at first, they just didn’t get along at first. Now she won’t shut up about how cute he is when he rambles

- does more plant work than anything with her earth powers. Into medicinal herb studies shit

Starting the new year off with more stuff about Victor and Jesse.

Victor:

- Was a music/language professor from France who then immigrated to Canada

- His bird daughter Iggy was with him before he joined the BLU team

- Doesn't have as prominent of an accent as RED spy

- Wanted to be a musician at one point in his life, but settled for a more stable career which didn't end up so stable

Jesse:

- Son of a war veteran/farmer

- Was drafted into the military before he joined the BLU team.

- Has a soft spot for animals, and dreamed of becoming a veterinarian.

- Takes care of any strays that wonder into the base, has names for all of them, and only keeps them if they decide to stay.

- The three cats in the pic from left to right are: Victor Jr. , Socks, and Cheeto

Both:

- Around 5'10 or 177.8 cm

- if you tell them you're gonna due some shit, they'll let you go crazy, but step in if you end up putting yourself in more danger than you need to be

#tf2 #tf2oc #tf2ocs #tf2 victor #tf2 jesse #tf2 spy #tf2 soldier

Brooo!!! Tell me more about character design!!!

TYSM FO. R SENDIGN THIS BUBBY <3

ok so. i will tlak ab my science team bcs hyperfixation <3 they range from human passing to so very nonhuman but none of them are really human ! this is going under a cut because it is so very long

darnold is most human , he looks p mcuh normal but he consumes things that should absolutely kill him VXBSB.. hes around 5′7 , i draw him w a square-ish shape language bcs hes intelligent and relatively sensible but round corners cause hes v kind !! i hc he enjoys old-timey fashion so i give him a bowtie & suspenders under his labcoat ! he also gets dimples bc cute.

gordon is p human at first glance but if u look closer he has slightly pointed ears and his canines are a little longer than average. he also has retractable claws like a cat , benreys like wtf didnt you say it was weird that i had claws ? and hes like nah its weird you cant retract them. also its barely noticeable but gordons hair moves veery slightly when hes emotional becayse heehoo. hes around 5′9 and has a relatively wide rectangle silhouette bcs hes hard-working and trustworthy ! post-game he mostly wears comfortable casual clothes like sweaters and knee-lenght shorts. dresses like a dad :^)

coomer mostly looks like a regular friendly old guy , but he has a buncha cybernetics hidden under his clothing bcs of course he does ! the extendo-arms are visibly metallic but his leg enhancements are mostly internal. hes 5′4 and has a v much circular silhouette ! friend-shaped !! he wears kind grandpa clothes.. shorts , hawaiian shirts , vests etc ! and yes he wears crocs <3

forzen is also pretty human-passing in terms of appearence , though he Can and occasionally Does subtly shapeshift.. and she also consumes things that would be so deadly to humans. like motor oil and rocks :) hes seemingly immune to bullets and has fangs but only sometimes. shes 6ft tall and her shape is p much square ! he wears an outfit v similar to his military uniform bc everyone was like dude get some new clothes wtf. so she was like FINE *buys near-identical red beret , fishing vest , huge backpack , camo pants and boots*

tommy.... WAY too tall 2 be human. hes 7′8. taller than gman. his silhouette is very tall thin oval :) round edges again bcs hes kind ! hes lanky but a lot physically stronger than he looks. he also consumes inedible things like computer keyboards. he has fangs , his eyes glow in the dark and he can use sweetvoice to a basic extent ! he also wears suspenders and bowties along w comfy baggy clothes like sweaters & chunky sneakers or crocs ! he also wears a lot of chew jewellery and he loves patterned socks :) he also uses a cane because being SO fucking tall isnt v easy on yr joints ! he uses crutches on worse days.

bubby is. also very tall but nowhere near tommy. hes 6′5 ! he has noticeably very pale skin & neat rows of pointy teeth (altho some are probably chipped). they also have almost-clawed fingers , v pointy shape language with a tall thin rectangular kinda silhouette. theyr not v physically strong most of the time so theyre pretty scrawny. his strength works on cartoon logic tho so he can be strong sometimes if it makes the situation funnier hebfhebr.. in-game he wears p much exactly the scientist uniform w no added stuff , but post-game hes like oh shit ! i casn do what i want now !! and goes out and buys a shitload of leather jackets and chunky shoes and gets so many piercings. awesome. the piercings & studs on their clothes also add pointiness to his design :^) oh and ! they use crutches because spending most of your life suspended in goo isnt very good for your muscles .

gman ! 7′5 so also inhumanly tall. he has pale greyish skin and is pretty clearly not human , he also has fangs & his eyes glow perpetually he Cannot Turn That Off. he doesnt necessarily eat inedible stuff but he has uncharacteristic reactions to foods , like alcohol doesny affect him at all but he drinks a pint of sparkling water and wakes up in a hollowed out tree stump in the woods at 4am 2 miles from his house. he can also teleport , make himself invisible for a limited time , levitate , and shapeshift ! he has a tall thin rectangular silhouette similar to bubby , but a little wider bcs hes more imposing & strong. when hes not in one of his 50 identical suits , he wears dad clothes also; hawaiian shirts & shorts and of course... socks & sandals.

finally benrey ! he4s so small. simply small as fuck. hes generally around 4′4 , but he doesnt really have a consistent height bcs hes constantly shapeshifting because he can. they also shift their weight occasionally and their hairstyle is never consistent at all. they have pale greyish skin , the face shadow ofc is permanent as are their eyebags , and he also just . doesnt have a nose. he can smell he just doesnt have one. probably has no ears either. he has a round silhouette but sharp uneven teeth & generally p messy hair , cause hes unassuming and laid back but Can fuck u up if he wants to. which generally they dont bcs they dont actually like being in physical conflict much at all. they use a wheelchair post-canon bcs dying does that to u <3 he doesnt mind tho , he and tommy deck it the fuck OUT w stickers. he wears casual clothes like hoodies and sweatpants , and has a seemingly endless hat collection... chullos , helmets , ball caps , beanies , you name it ! i usually draw them with a specific hat based on the situation , like im doing an animatic of the callmecarson spelling bee and benrey has a ball cap that says “im a keeper” with a pic of a bee on it. awesome

OK THATS LIKE ALL I HAVE tysm for letting me infodump BSKJKD... if u read all of this im proud of u <3

(you're always so good at articulating and finding the best things in everything)

oof. okay, here we go (warning there’s a Lot i have no self control) (edit: this is for the asphalt 9 dapg vid)

really another vine reference i love them sm

a fact that everybody must know we need to be proper phil trash and we need to learn from phil trash #1

improve phil’s lives lmao it’s the inverse of “our life” he’s gone so far he’s reversed now

phil bab what’s this face

the fastest and super cutest lil tongue thing ever (0:31)

phils rooooooooooooots

why??? are there so many jumpcuts??? like idk they’re not even like. casual jumpcuts they’re like kinda obvious ones????

dan changing his mind as he’s trying to say “i feel think they know this” (1:01)

first of all phil just deciding dan needed a mustache (and dan defending people who don’t have mustaches)

dan says mustache phil says mustache

the fucking spongebob thing

‘i’m gonna have to imagine you’re my driving instructor’ roleplay, kinky

“our chest”

dan just,,,,,,accepting the mustache (see the above ‘roleplay, kinky’ comment)

dan laughing through the entirety of calling himself a driving instructor

and then talking slightly Off for the entire rest of the vid bc he has a mustache on and he’s trying to keep it from falling off (he also doesn’t smile as much or be quite as expressive as he usually is bc that would make it Fall)

a realistic earth-based car game??? what the eff were they gonna play that wasn’t an earth-based car game????

as we all know, mario kart and actual driving are basically the same thing, right? throwback to that time phil said he would beat a pro racer at mario kart (x)

another???? jumpcut???? mid sentence????

touchyyyyyy

giggly lads

let’s count how many times dan does the lean on desk head on his fist thing i’m up to 2 right now (spoiler: there’s 2 lmao)

head pats (maybe phil really is a cat)

phil’s eYEbRoWs (5:04)

dan picked the first driving place and let phil pick the other two

2 important things here 1 dan is not sitting normally in the chair and 2 captain america socks wonder who those belong to

phil’s first reaction to dan’s possible distractions was ‘don’t tickle me’ hmmmmmmmmm thinking emoji starry-eyed emoji

i’m sorry i can’t stop looking at phil’s eyes they’re so so blue n green n bright??? like there’s smth about him in black that really makes his features stand out n his eyes pop

side note dan is still eschewing his ‘all black’ branding? and phil’s sporting that black shirt???? i’m living

why the ever-loving fuck do they have that gold hat like why the sunglasses are from the nov pic in the dog calendar, the cactus as phil said was from tatinof but like. really? was that supposed to be like. for dan’s diss track way back when or smth??? (i have no bloody clue where the emoji things came from)

“u dont wanna get tickled by a tree branch” and phil clearly thought he was boutta get tickled

phil’s first no (6:57) sounded exactly like a dan ‘no’? when he’s scared? trust me i have done studies (x)

i h8 my demon self but “and you know what happens when your friends are texting you things?” followed by the heart eyes emoji. then “’oh phil i love you’ says the mysterious person you’re sexting” dan. dan. babe. pls. (’phil send me a sexy picture!’) given the rest of the contents of this fake texting convo i feel like this was based on irl conversations (i mean,,,,”what’s the tea?” “pizza?” lads,,,,,)

ANOTHER SUPER FAST LIL TONGUE THING (8:08)

that

another jumpcut? am i just looking for them or are they just way more obvious than usual???

why is this screenshot making me giggle uncontrollably

the most??? casual handoff?? of a hat??? i’ve ever seen???? why is this important i have no idea it was just so smooth?????? (8:40) except then dan just,,,,,throws it

what the fuck is the random zoom??? clearly phil was editing bc he just did a zoom on dan’s lips mustache

significantly less obvious jumpcut (9:04) clearly dan had to explain what he wanted phil to guess lmao reminds me of a certain jumpcut after a certain phil was asked what surname he’d pick if he could have any surname 👀👀

the softest phil voice maybe ever when he says “what does that mean?” (9:06)

“you get like a full day’s power in half an hour” we love casual not-sponning and also rhyming

same tho

dan’s wiggly head thing (10:16) i love

i love british people pronouncing things like garage :)

a better thing to count: the number of times dan says “it’s fine”

phil being super smiley throughout the whole ‘race’

poor lil bab phil falling??? and gigging through the whole thing? and still playing?? you go philly we love u

“phil,,,,,,u just drove off a bridge,,,,,” “right” “i don’t know what to say” *dramatic zoom* “just let me get to the end”

“they were right in my ass” kay phil

he’s literally still playing and he does the hand over his mouth thing phil both hands on the wheel

i know it’s a british thing but the way dan says sixth like sick-th instead of sicks-th

i feel like some of y’all will appreciate these

somehow phil found a way to shame dan????

yas phil stare at ur man

was he like???? jealous of dan’s fake mustache or smth???

alright i’m calling it now dan’s secretly a snek or lizard man that’s all there is to it (12:50) that would explain a lot of the furry/scaley jokes

“sticker for your boo-boo” okay dan

another,,,,,,jumpcut????

i love when phil looks at dan like this, i know it’s his ‘i’m waiting for u to be done so i can say smth’ face and sometimes his ‘i’m just listening to u do ur thing n talk lots’ but idk i just love it???

phil’s absolute non-reaction to ‘hope that tickles your pickle’,,,,,,and then ‘taps your app’ was so much worse? dan has a thing for sensationalizing everything phil says (and rightly so we love phil he is a sensation) don’t tap my bap

‘just never leave the house to be honest’ aka ‘phil bb don’t leave me ever okay????’ y’all that’s a joke don’t take it srs

#dnp #dapg #danandphilgames #dan and phil #phan #how not to drive #jfc there was a lot here soz lmao #kt #anon #ask #vid analysis

vivienne-strongarm · 5 years

Photo

My dudes, it is time for some character development (after I realised Viv didn’t have a character). So I will be writing in the 1500 challenge (1500 words, on a character event inspired by each of these 9 pics), and I have an actual character development sheet. (Big thanks to @carina-go-lightlee for putting the idea of the 1500 challenge on my dash in the first place - go check hers out!)

This is certain to change as time goes on, but for now, meet Viv!

Name: Vivienne ‘Viv’ Strongarm Age: 23 Gender: Non-binary (they/them pronouns) Sexuality: Big gay Race: Irish Appearance Hair: Copper-red, long, most of the way down their back. Usually at least part-braided at the temples. Viv pulls it back into a knot when they have to concentrate. Eyes: Blue Skin: Pale, they’ve got that Irish glow (meaning they burn in 5 minutes flat when the sun is shining). Freckles across their shoulders and arms, a few on their face too. Height: 5’4’’ Build: Viv is fairly fit and slim, with a flattish chest (they don’t often need a binder or bra to hold everything where it should be). They’re lean but with muscles, especially their arms and shoulders. Distinguishing marks: Viv is covered in scars, the legacy of a childhood spent climbing trees, annoying cats and an adult life helping their father as a carpenter. A tattoo of a bow and arrow is on the inside of their upper right arm, and a curled design of wildflowers and ferns on their left hip. Piercings: Four in their left ear (lobe and second lobes, and two helix), three in their right (lobe, second lobe, one helix). One of the helixes has a bar, the other two engraved silver rings, whilst the lobes tend to have small gemstone studs. Clothing: Viv’s keyword when it comes to clothing is ‘practical’, closely followed by ‘tough’. Jeans and leggings are their go-to, coupled with plain-ish tops that don’t show the dirt. Dark, rich colours are their favourite, and they’re not opposed to showing a little skin, but at the end of the day, they want a) something they can move in and b) something where people won’t mess with them. Viv’s got a lotta anxiety, and clothing is part of their armour.

Personality and backstory Likes: Sunshine, thunderstorms, wildflowers, the sea, forests, singing the songs they grew up with. They love archery and riding fast, being free in the open. They love their friends, and feeling safe enough to let their guard down. Dislikes: Cities, being boxed in, rigidity, rules for the sake of rules. Spiders (and bugs generally). Being mocked or patronised. Hobbies: Archery, axe-throwing, photography, watercolour painting, reading. Long walks, being out in nature, swimming. General demeanour: Viv probably comes across as borderline-rude when you first meet them – they’re wary, which comes out as one-word sentences and glaring (Viv’s very good at glaring). However, it’s just that being non-binary, they’re used to judgements and people mocking them, but once Viv knows they have someone’s respect, then the guard comes down. They can be sweet, kind and fiercely loyal (so long as you don’t mind the loyalty coming with a helping of sarcasm). They’re quick to act, logical and stubborn, which has got them into a few messes in the past, but they can (usually) talk their way out of it. Backstory: Viv grew up at the base of the Wicklow Mountains near Kildare, Ireland, with their parents and their older brother, Felix. They went to study sociology at university in Edinburgh, and when they came home, they reunited with their childhood crush, Niamh, and started working alongside their father as a carpenter, making furniture. Everything ticked along nicely for a year or so, until Viv confessed to Niamh that they were non-binary. Unable to get her head around it, Niamh rejected Viv and left them broken-hearted. In a tiny village it was all too easy to bump into her, so Viv took the opportunity to move to Jorvik, to lead trail rides over the summer for Moorland Stables. They only planned on staying a few months, but by the end of summer they’d met the Soul Riders, the Keepers, and had fallen in love with being in a place where no one judged them for who they were. And there was the small matter of a magical prophecy to sort out… Magic: Viv’s speciality is storms. Wind, rain, thunder and lightning – that’s where their real talent lies. A short burst of magic, and their hands flare with blue fractures, lightning coursing through their veins; Longer bursts illuminate their whole body, and as you stare into Viv’s eyes, the only points of darkness as the crackling builds, you realise – you’re fucked. Viv’s worked a lot with Alex to try and control their magic (not that either of them have objected to these sessions) and while they still lose control sometimes, they haven’t accidentally electrocuted James in ages.

Lifestyle Occupation: Viv’s now a shipbuilder by trade, working in Mistfall alongside Sigry Varanger (who finds time to teach Viv whilst she’s not attending to her mayoral duties). Lives at: South Hoof, in a small cottage on the edge of the Hightower Farm. They should live closer to their work, but it’s a nice enough ride over in the mornings, and besides, South Hoof feels like home. The wind and rain might put some people off, but Viv loves it. Friends: Viv’s a bit short on friends – they tend to hold back and back off from people a lot of the time, too worried about being hurt again, but they took an instant liking to Rania Varanger (which is good, considering how much she hangs around the workshop). The Soul Riders immediately befriended them as well – Viv was worried about whether they’d fit into a ‘sisterhood’, but it turns out that’s not an issue. Relationships: Viv and Alex have been tentatively dating for a couple months now. All those training sessions created an electric (I’m sorry) feeling between them, and they finally started dating after Alex pushed Viv over the walls of Fort Pinta. They’re perfectly suited for each other – bold, quick to laugh, devoted, but Viv provides that bit of restraint and down-to-earth-ness that Alex lacks.

Horse Name: Stormsong Breed: Mustang Appearance: Blue roan, with one white sock on her back hoof and a narrow snip on her forehead. Personality: Gentle towards Viv, standoffish with others. She’s proud and likes to be listened to – which is a shame, because Viv has a tendency to jump into things. Stormsong tempers that urge, sometimes literally dragging Viv away from situations by their collar. Viv and Stormsong trust each other implicitly, and no one could come between them. How they met: When Viv first arrived on Jorvik, Justin was a bit puzzled – he has a knack of finding the perfect horse for each rider, but he couldn’t find one for Viv. He eventually paired them up with a dun pinto Jorvik Warmblood, Cloudchaser, and they got on well enough, with Viv eventually purchasing him. However, a few weeks later, Justin came in, very excited, and asked Viv to visit Marley’s farm with him, where a group of mustangs had just arrived. The herd had been rounded up and was originally intended for slaughter, but they were rehabilitated by a charity and a few sent to Jorvik. Justin had seen them arrive, and knew that Stormsong was right for Viv. After some persuasion, Viv mounted up – and realised they never wanted to get out of the saddle again. They immediately bought Stormsong, and they’ve been inseparable since.

There & Back Again - A Tourist’s Tale

Townsville to Tanawha in Seven Days - The Adventure Continues

Well hello there (you good looking reader you). This week’s episode consists of our jaunt back down the coast of Queensland (after our grand Magnetic Island exploits).

I believe we left off arriving in Townsville, which proved to be (unexpectedly) chalk full of good things. Our hotel’s oceanfront location proved to be a perfect base to explore “The Strand” It’s a beautiful esplanade boasting a multitude of parks, gardens, restaurants/pubs and shops (all along the water). And, the BEST Indian Food restaurant EVER. Delish!

Townsville also happens to be home to The Reef HQ - The Great Barrier Reef Aquarium. So, of course, we had to go check that out. I admit that having the glass between us allowed me to really appreciate critters without being scared silly!

We checked out several very cool lectures in the theatre space (it was like being on a school field trip!) and managed to snag an invite to the Turtle Hospital, where we had the sincere honour of meeting some of the patients.

I gotta tell you, it was an experience I won’t soon forget. Seeing sea turtles up close, and learning about the horrible adversities these poor little guys face... Look, nature itself is hard enough on these guys, but man... Between ingesting our plastic crap (causing them to float and slowly starve) and our boat propeller’s cracking their shells (literally breaking their spines)... I felt guilty being a human being standing next to them! It was an eye opener for me. *Incidentally, Australia is banning the use of disposable plastic bags in grocery stores as of July. We bought a water bottle and canvas bag from the Turtle Hospital too. Perhaps the little steps will make a difference - here’s hoping!

So, that was our one day there. It was great. Finis. Then we started the looonnnnngg journey back down South - which we broke into 2 nights. First stop, Mackay.

I gotta say, it didn’t knock my socks off (they barely lost their elasticity really). Now, in fairness, we arrived on a Sunday. And most of these towns hearken to the days gone by (Everything is CLOSED on Sundays) so it was a bit of an eerie ghost town. We wandered around for hours, waiting for a handful of restaurants to open for dinner. This turned into a bit of a fun game as we waltzed about all alone, like we owned the place, looking for anything interesting really! Seek and ye shall find!

Seriously, take a good look at some of those street view pics. Not another soul! CUE THE TUMBLEWEED! And then you look up and there’s a bazillion cameras..... For the crazy crowds??? (I hope they got my good side. Pretty sure if I have one, they caught it! lol)

We wound up hitting up the local theatre to watch the latest Avenger’s movie. And the answer to your questions are YES and YES. Yes, going to the movies is just as stupid expensive here as at home and Yes, they have a a whack of commercials prior to the movie too. It’s an epidemic! LOL

*Highly recommend the Avengers movie, btw. Plot is holier than Swiss Cheese but it’s an exciting, comedic and visually stunning ride.

So we said good bye Mackay and hit the road <Jack>. Next stop, the mining town of Gladstone. It had a cute little downtown core - BUT most everything was CLOSED... AGAIN <sigh>. Managed to find an open restaurant, ate a nice dinner & retired to the Motel (yes, I said MOTEL) Mmm hmmm, kickin it hardcore on a Monday night. All in all, it was fine. Hey, even the cockroach I discovered on the curtain in our room was friendly enough!

Good bye Gladstone!

Needless to say, we were ready to hit the road bright n’ squirrely for the final leg of our highway trip - Destination: Mount Coolum for a few days (please oh please, for the love of all things Holy, let it NOT be a ghost town!)

Okay now, remember how I mentioned that this highway was this long, desolate, life sucking thing that went on forever with nothing for 100′s of kilometers? Does that sound like a good place to run out of gas to you? Hmmm?

This is where I so regret NOT taking a picture to punctuate the whole story. But, I just couldn’t do it! I felt taking a picture, while barely containing our laughter, would have been rude. I’ll try and keep this short (promise). In a nutshell:

- I didn’t get gas when I should of. Sue me!

- The dreaded ‘yellow’ you-got-no-more-gas-soon warning sign is now alight, causing John to lean over and look at it EVERY 5 SECONDS and remind me that we really need gas, and we probably should’ve filled up ‘back there’ (ya think????)

- We ask ‘the Google’ to find the nearest gas station and followed it’s direction down a road not fit for man nor beast (this is the part in the movie where someone dies... surely!) *I should mention that the next gas station shows as approx 70 kms away!

- As John is rattling off the merits of the town we’re about to come upon “It has a race track!”, we roll onto the main street. One. Dusty. Uninhabited. Street. Where any store that may have existed 1000 years ago is now something out of a museum exhibit.

- The Google says we have now arrived at our destination. Imagine it. There’s a dilapidated HOUSE with a sun-faded sign on the side of it that looks like it may have said “GAS” at one time.. but now all you see is a faded “AS” (you have no idea how hard it is for me not to add that extra ‘S’!)

- So we keep going (there must be more down here, right?) and come to a dead end. That was it. We look at each other, say an expletive or two and turn around. “Might have to start knocking on doors and testing out that ‘Aussie Hospitality!”. Hmm... let’s take one more pass. Maybe we missed something?

- We take another pass, and bowl me over with a feather if there is not a single antique looking gas pump (on the frickin’ SIDEWALK!) in front of that old house (I cannot make this stuff up!) I don’t know how we missed it the first time?! So we park beside it. What have we got to lose, right????

- The price on the gas pump is $1.47/litre - today’s pricing... the door to the house is OPEN. What the what now? Could it be true?? *If this is some sort of cruel joke by the locals looking for some fun - watching tourists try and get blood from a stone, I’m gonna be PISSED!

- I pick up the nozzle, it resets... ready to rock. EUREKA! We’re saved! I proceed into the ramshackle house, to pay, and am greeted by a friendly shopkeeper who runs the ‘store’. Oh yes, there’s one 2-litre jug of milk AND a single loaf of bread in the fridge for sale. AND there’s a cafe menu - fish n’ chips are on special, dontcha know! (OMG, I can’t even imagine how long that fish has been there!!!)

- I pay and we get set to leave. John and I just keep looking at each other like we may be sharing a hallucination. “The pump is on the sidewalk” John keeps mumbling. Should we have taken a picture? YES! Sorry. You’re just gonna have to trust me on this one... it was an experience!

Full of gas (of suspect age and origin) we eventually made it to Mt. Coolum - a beautiful National Park just minutes from the beach. The AirBnB space and our hosts were AMAZING!

Our hosts were so sweet, leaving us chalkboard notes every day:

We got to settle in and enjoy the best of all worlds again. The backyard of the house WAS the National Park and we were able to literally hike the mountain from there. It was a hell of a hike (think Grouse Grind) but well worth it!

Spent some time at Coolum Beach as well and did some body boarding. It was a great place to spend John’s birthday too :)

From Coolum we also drove the nearby town of Eumundi to check out their famous Market. It was huge! Must have taken up 6 square blocks and took us hours to navigate. *How much is a parking ticket in Eumundi? Oooh, I know this one! It’s $63 AUD. Yes it is :(

We had fun (despite the ticket) and found some cool items and lots of local artwork everywhere

And also went back to Noosa Heads (which is hard to photograph well - sorry!

All in all, our three nights in Coolum were lovely. Great food, beach, people, hiking... and it was such a nice surprise to find a little gift bag, on the hood of our car, upon our departure. How nice is this?

Then it was off to Tanawha (again). We had stayed at a beautiful rainforest B&B at the beginning of our journey (which seems like a lifetime ago!) and both John and I had been sad to leave so soon. We’d really ‘clicked’ with our hosts Liz & Steve and frankly, it’s like a 5 star resort. It’s true!. I can hear that guy from Jurassic Park saying, “We spared no expense”. So we booked an encore with them for the next 4 nights to relax and explore the Hinterlands more. (We’ve heard the drive/scenery is to die for). Upon our arrival in Tanawha, we were greeted with MORE GIFTS!

I don’t know if I can fit those paper flowers in my suitcase :(

So, we’re now in the rain forest enjoying our hosts and getting ready to do MORE exploring of this beautiful country. I have actually unpacked (for the 1st time this whole trip! LOL) and am planning to milk these last few days to the last drop. It sounds like a fairytale, I know. So, I’ll admit, it’s not always this amazing feeling. There have been mornings when I really didn’t want to do anything. I’m in (what I consider paradise) and I feel BLEH. It’s happened. On more than one occasion. I miss my family. My friends. My cats. But I then remind myself that I better take advantage of opportunities (actually, I say ‘Pull your head out of your ass, it’s not a hat!’) and life goes on. Ces’t la vie :)

So, we’re in the final stretch!! Hope you’re still enjoying coming along for the ride! Hope to have more to share soon. Cheers!

Dad Letter 040520

5 April, 2020

Dear Dad--

Seems we have survived another week of the plague! Zach just got back from the grocery store, and every time one of us goes to the store, the other gets to ask, “What were they out of this time?” This time, apparently, they were just about out of pasta. I guess everyone decided the best defense against the coronavirus is a big ol’ pot of spaghetti. Also the Hamburger Helper section was decimated. Carbo-loading for the apocalypse! They had just about everything we needed, so it seems the only thing we’ve had to give up semi-permanently is non-terrible toilet paper, because terrible toilet paper is all they got! I look forward to getting our Charmin back, once it happens.

Since we’re not supposed to leave the house except for groceries, I’ve taken a lot of pictures of stuff going on outside the trailer. We have lots of birds here, so they get photographed a lot. We have honking geese flying overhead, seagulls and crows, mourning doves, and little chickadees, and now with spring, some robins. Every time some seagulls stage a rumble over some hot dog buns they found in the trash, I get pictures of it. I take pictures when it snows, or when the cat does something cute. Normally I’m fine, but being quarantined is so profoundly boring sometimes.

Other things I’ve done to entertain myself: I got on Amazon and ordered some new socks and some sugar-free Life Savers hard candy. (I am inappropriately excited about this, even with the fact that I’m going to have to disinfect everything once it arrives.) Also I gave myself a haircut! I have to say, it looks pretty good. Going outside to throw birdseed on everything. Looking up facts about native birds. I learned that mourning doves make shitty nests. It actually says the nests are well known for being “of flimsy construction.” I checked online for pics of mourning dove nests, and sure enough, their nests look like shit, like someone came along and barfed up a little pile of twigs, and called it a nest.

Oh! I got a call from my new job at Penquis. I was supposed to start work tomorrow! Based on the fact that the governor has ordered everyone to stay home, and the office is closed, it seemed unlikely that I was actually going to be required to show up at the main office in downtown Bangor to begin my training. Finally, at 7:30 on Friday night, my boss called and she told me that I may start in May, but certainly not before then, and possibly as late as August. This is good! If the crisis is over, I’ll work a few weeks in May and get my training done. If not, I’ll (presumably) start up in August, and I can look for something else between now and then if I want to. Doesn’t make much sense to start my job, helping people with their heating bills, right as the summer starts. This works well with my plans to heed the governor’s order to stay home.

So, since we have a couple dozen square yards’ worth of yard, we’re going to plant a garden. Actually, since we’re stuck here, and since we wanted to anyway, and since it’ll help supplement our diet with healthy vegetables, which I normally find abhorrent, and since my new friend is a plant scientist, and because we love making our space a sanctuary for birds and bees and whatever the hell else wanders along, we want to make a nice small garden with bird feeders. We’re going to grow tomatoes and other eating-type things, some herb-type things, some catnip for the kitties, foreign and domestic. You may be astonished to learn that we don’t plan on growing pot, even though the law allows us to do so! There are a few reasons why I don’t want to grow marijuana in my yard, but the main one is this: in a best-case scenario, I grow, say, one plant. It gets all the rain and sunshine it wants, and grows into a huge bush that is 15 feet tall. Suddenly, I’m no longer living in a trailer in Old Town. I’m THE guy who lives in THE trailer next to THE huge-ass marijuana tree, covered with fat, really valuable buds, ripe for stealing, right next to THE McDonald’s in Old Town. Kids walk through our space to get to the school bus. Well, they used to.

So we’ll grow stuff to eat, and stuff to add flavor to the stuff we eat, and lots of local native wildflowers. My new friend Bryan, the plant scientist fellow, has already given us good information about our typical last frost, and when planting can start. We also have some bird feeders and I’m going to see what kind of hummingbirds I can attract here. I’m slightly worried that I’m just creating a delicious buffet for the local stray cats, with all the birdseed I’m scattering about, but I’ll deal with murder kitties if they occur.

Oh! I just thought of something that isn’t so boring it will make you long for death: I saw a kinda good movie yesterday! I saw it on Amazon Prime, so I don’t know if you can see it too. It’s called Soyuz 7, or Salyut 7. And it’s about shit that happened when I was in high school, that I never heard about till now. The movie touts itself as Russia’s version of Apollo 13; a mission that went horribly, terribly wrong in 1985.

In case you don’t remember from when it happened, The Soyuz was a temporarily-unmanned space station that went out of control and started tumbling. And it looked like the Americans were going to be able to get to it with a space shuttle and possibly steal the whole thing, since it was small enough to fit into the shuttle’s payload bay. So the Soviets launch a rocket with two guys who are supposed to dock with the Soyuz station, and fix it, at least well enough so that they can prevent it from falling out of orbit onto a bus full of innocent American school children, and making the USSR look bad.

Just docking with a spinning dead space station is hard enough, but the Soviets manage it. The two cosmonauts set about fixing the Soyuz. Several things go enormously, spectacularly wrong. They manage to avoid dying several times. Finally it comes down to a situation where, if they keep hitting this part on the outside of the Soyuz with a hammer, until this one specific malfunctioning piece breaks off, they might live. And if they can’t break it off, they’re probably going to die. Then the Americans will show up, steal everything, win the space race again, and cause icky democracy and freedom to start spreading across the Soviet Union. It was a good movie! It was in Russian, with subtitles, and starred no one I’ve ever seen before, so it won’t ever be a popular movie here, but it was good.

More next week. Stay safe, and lots of love to you both!

Day Two -Social Media

skatecatangel

Definite Proof Yuri Plisetsky and Otabek Altin are Dating (pt3/5)

As I said previously, there’s been rampant speculation about Yura (Yuri Plisetsky, aka, One of the Greatest Skaters to Ever Live™) and his relationship(s) or lack thereof. But what a HUGE portion of the skating community has overlooked is that he definitely is in a relationship and has been for a while. Part One covered basic background/ timeline, Part Two and body language, here and here.

But, SCA, you say, that’s all coincidental. It could be that they’re close friends. (HA, WAIT UNTIL PART FOUR!) Which, sure, they could be “close friends” but for further consideration: they wear each other’s clothes. And not just that. They choose clothes and outfits that complement each other.

What does that have to do with them being in a “relationship”? Well, dear anon, who is haunting my ask box as I write this, let me explain: have you ever noticed that over time, articles of clothing from your S.O.’s wardrobe ends up in yours? And that you wear it, and end up thinking, ‘hey, I like this let’s get more of something similar.’ Or even, ‘ah, this color is like that one, let me get it.’

Case in point, here is Yura in the present, wearing what looks like a classic black leather jacket and leopard print tee shirt and his classic leopard print sneakers.

Here is younger Yura, around the time of the 2016 Grand Prix Final. In a black hoodie with his Team Russia jacket, and leopard print sneakers. A natural progression, you’d think, as a person ages their taste changes. WRONG. Because look closer at that leather jacket, friend, and you’ll find that it looks the same as the one Otabek was wearing in these photos captured by Otababes recently.

“A JACKET MEANS NOTHING,” I can practically hear the antis scream. Ah, if only it were just a jacket.

See, ‘cause if you look closely, you can set up a timeline for how you go from hoodies and eyesores like this tiger sweatshirt (sorry Yura, you have to admit that purchase was questionable!) to fashion forward, yet still classic outfits. And not just Yuri, precious kitten tiger that he is. Otabek too. And it’s practically relationship GOALS.

Let us commence the perusal.

We’ve already seen pictures of Yuri’s past style (Death to the neon pink and orange combinations! Nothing more needs to be said on the subject of his younger, daring, garish fashion combinations. It’s rather obvious), so now we bring Otabek for comparison.

Here is baby!bek, in his pre-2016 Grand Prix Final state. (For those of you who failed to read the timeline, this is when they met. There was fleeing from Xtreme Angels, on a motorbike. We’ll get to that in a minute.) Leather jacket, neutral scarves, neutral toned athletic wear, jackets. Very monochrome palette. Now look at this photograph of baby!Yuri and baby!bek on a motorcycle. Yuri is in fine fashion form (probably trying to stay incognito from the Xtremers), and Otabek is in fine monochrome form. Even his sweater, possibly a pale pastel blue or grey (the lighting is bad), does not clash with his black leather jacket (and doesn’t that look familiar), dark grey scarf, and dark blue-grey pants. Even his fingerless gloves match! Boy goes the extra mile for his aesthetic, can’t you tell?

Don’t they look cute fleeing to safety who knows where? 💕💕💕

Fast forward through the next year, year and half, because things are largely the same as far as clothing choices. What is interesting to note is that Otabek, largely inactive and apathetic to Instagram, starts to use it more frequently than just (seemingly PR enforced) posts about travel or competitions. We start to see the two of them in each other’s Insta, as well as in Snapchat (the classic video of Yuri badgering the poor man as he finishes setting up his account posted to his story made the rounds on twitter so quickly, the sound barrier was probably broken.) Somehow, Yuri Plisetsky dragged Otabek into the age of social media both by personal use and Otabek’s own independent usage, and from then on we have (though infrequent on Otabek’s part, if not pictured with Yuri) a more accurate record to pull from as to sartorial choices.

The first thing to transfer - whether by diffusion or simply being left after a visit, is a dark grey scarf. One that looks particularly like a certain scarf a Kazakh skater was wearing in a certain photo. People who are vague friends or casual acquaintances don’t wear each other’s clothes, even if they are outerwear like scarves. (As an aside, who doesn’t find the sight of their crush or S.O. borrowing clothes from their wardrobe exciting?) Given the timeline, we can make the hypothesis that this could be pining stage, or at least mutual attraction stage - giving a bit more to build with in the conclusion.

Noticeably, Otabek starts wearing skinny jeans. (Humans with eyes to see the world over rejoiced. Instagram and Twitter crashed.) He may or may not have also rediscovered the color emerald, and it clearly loves him. (If that also happens to be the eye color of a particular Tiger ....)

Shortly after, he starts wearing skater shoes. And if one looks closely enough at pictures, they seem to be of the same brand as Yuri’s.

But SCA, the antis scream, those could all be coincidental! These are all either stuff that could have been left behind sometime or liked the look of some item and copied! This is not clothing sharing! Or complementary outfits! Well, my screaming mob, let me learn you a Thing. Beyond the fact I have several advanced degrees in Statistics, you idjits, and calculated that the probability of these events together (at the time point!) happened due to chance is less than <.0001 (and thus NOT DUE TO CHANCE), we do have to remember a few things. First off, this is evolution, this is not the final product. It’s not going to be complementary quite yet. Second, that it’s around this time Yuri goes through the Dreaded GROWTH SPURT. The sheer height increase (and difference) makes it entirely likely Yuri was running through clothing like green grass through a goose. (EDIT: The phrase “green grass through a goose” is a colloquialism meant to indicate something that happens fast and suddenly. Apologies for the simile.) There is no way Otabek would have fit into any clothes before, and definitely not when Yuri is outgrowing things quickly.

Luckily, this growth spurt is good for something other than Yuri’s meme-ing ability (and sheer impossibility of certain poses, no one should be able to do standing splits with legs that long, isn’t flexibility supposed to go with age? This is entirely unfair). Namely, we get Yuri Plisetsky in a grunge stage - hoodies with cut off sleeves and raw edges (adorably tiger striped), jeans ripped across the thigh and knee, t-shirts that are more hole than fabric, and so much more. And, oh the henleys. Except wait. Where have we seen that last one again? Hmmmmm......

And while Yuri goes through his mandatory teen grunge phase (a bit later than most, to be fair) and brings punk/pop punk/ emo back en vogue, we shall investigate Otabek’s wardrobe. Sometime between the earrings and growing out only the top of his hair into a full blown curtain (to which millions of humans swooned, because ffs wolf tails), Otabek discovered the rest of the rainbow. Brilliant blues (that are NOT his Team Kazakhstan jacket)? Heck yeah. Yellow? Oh, my, YES. Bright red? PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS SWEATER, AND IT’S NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE VIRGINS.Not to mention patterns. Plaid is drool-worthy. Stripes? Oh my sweet Buddha. What about this subtly leopard printed scarf??

Oh, I could practically hear the mental record scratches and screeching, and it was glorious. That’s right. Otabek Altin. The Hero of Kazakhstan. In a leopard print scarf. One that we have no evidence for Yuri, Wearer of All Things Big Cat (however questionable), ever owning or even knowing about before seeing it on Otabek via Instagram. Meaning, to be explicitly clear: Otabek picked and wore that piece himself, without anyone else’s input. (We do see Yuri in the same scarf via Instagram during a visit to Almaty, but only the once. This is also date stamped as after the photos of Otabek wearing the scarf by several months.)

But wait, Yuri doesn’t have anything reciprocating the exchange! Beyond the fact that that barely, barely Englished, random imaginary anon, that’s only because I have yet to point out how Otabek has influenced Yuri’s wardrobe at this juncture. Because if you compare the past Yuri and the contemporary Yuri, you’ll see the very subtle progression of his color choices. Namely, that the absolute eye-searing atrocities that are his previous outfits slowly gain neutral bases to prevent retinal burn induced blindness. (And who do we know who loved his neutrals?)

That’s not all, because after this? Things accelerate (because apparently no one does slow burn relationships these days???) Yuri ends up in a black on black hoodie, with an embroidered tiger on the sleeve in a style reminiscent of Japanese Yakuza. The grey jeans and deep plum fingerless gloves give the entire looks a certain style, wouldn’t you say? (So does the fringe on the gloves, but that’s not relevant to the point.) Within a week, an intrepid Babe photographs Otabek in bright green athletic pants, and tiger striped socks, and a neon pink v neck (not at the same time though; it was the same Babe who took those three pictures.) What about this pair of yoga pants in a deep grey with subtle spotting? And Yuri’s rather amazing athletic jacket with the matte stripes, or the dark wash jean jacket?

Put any one of those photos of one of them next to a random photo of the other and try to tell me they don’t complement each other. Because they do. They’ve managed to sync outfits across countries and timezones, and still look like a frickin’ Power Couple. And the pics of them together? We’ve already analyzed some of these for body language, but just take in their outfits for a moment. Taken a good hard look? Good. See how it’s a cohesive image, with certain elements of one being reflected in the other? Now look at these celebrity Power Couples. They too have elements of each other’s styles and outfits that go together. Coincidence? I think not.

I can hear the haters screaming fruitlessly, so for a final nail in the coffin. This picture was posted on Yuri’s Insta account last week during Worlds (with Otabek tagged of, course). In it, you can see his latest pair of skates, proudly debuting a set with hydro-dipped blades with a leopard print design. Next to them you can see a pair of grey-white skate guards with a leopard print design. You’d think they’d be part of the same set, right? Lol, WRONG. If you translate the caption, and some of the comments, what you get is that only one of the pairs of items shown in the photo is Yuri’s. More than that, if you watched the competition, you’ll see Otabek putting the skate guards on his skates.

Of course, this is merely window dressing to the way they interact (Part Four), as seen in video and social media posts. Stay tuned for that last bit before the conclusion.

Saturday Surfing: May 6th, 2017

Yes, I know it’s CAT-urday, but here’s a pic of Detective Stabler with a very sad-looking Golden Retriever puppy…just because. 🙂

Speaking of fantabulous shows, I needed a brief Midsomer Murder marathon break, so I started watching The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu.

Dude. This show? Incredible! It’s haunting and beautiful and disturbing and thought-provoking and knocks my socks off on the regular!

The 20-second summary: a militaristic religious fundamentalist group rises to power in a dystopian United States where a mysterious calamity has made most of the men and women sterile, except for these so-called “handmaids,” who are basically people who exists solely to produce babies.

It’s based on a book by Margaret Atwood of the same name, and Elisabeth Moss from Mad Men plays the main character, Offred.

I mean…once upon a time I thought that zombies were the scariest things about the apocalypse, but NOPE! I was wrong.

They’re only up to four episodes so far, and new ones come out weekly on Hulu, so you could catch up fast.

PLEASE watch it if you get a chance, and let me know!

April 13th - 26th

April 13th

ok journal update time. Just got back from Atlanta and the house seems odd without Wife lady here. I know she will be home in just two weeks but still. At least she will be home for my birthday and i will still get my favorite meal! My silly kitten of doom (Lady Socks) snubbed for for all of 30 mins before she relented and allowed me to pet her. Cubs won and the season is looking good so far.

However! seems there was something going on at scary ass detrick while we were gone. The news and the paper say it was a small contamination break but that it didn’t pose a threat to the area. I am very glad Mary and I did not buy a house out that way when we moved here. Between the cancers people get and the thought of what ever weird shit they get up to it just isn’t healthy to live there.

April 15th

Uh well being without a job right now sucks. I am board as shit and feel like i am not doing enough for the house. Yeah sure wife lady is a GS-14 and can pay all of our bills and then some by herself but i just don’t feel like i am pulling my weight. I applied for 7 more jobs today. Went down to the river too. Caught some nice fish including the biggest trout i have ever caught. I hope he knows that he was very tasty and that his sacrifice was worth it to me and the cat. I swear i had to fight her just to cook the damn thing. Crazy cat.

More weird shit going on in town. The late news had some sort of report on attack at the hospital over on 7th street. Details were sketchy but when ever i hear about something like that happening at a hospital i get nervous. Maybe i am just too much of a nerd but that is how crazy apocalypse shit starts.

April 18th.

Talked to Mary. Her work trip is going well and she even got a chance to try some great brews out in Utah of all places. I guess even the Mormons are chilling out about good beer.....Talked to Ma too. She is trying to figure out when we can meet up for birthdays i told her she needed to speak with Mary about it because i am pretty sure she is up to something. No hits on work yet but i am still keeping at it. My hope is to have something before June.

That thing at the hospital turned out to be some Bath salt type drug induced shit. This is why we need to end the war on drugs and do like Portugal. It would make more sense to clean up street drugs and tax the shit out of them. People can get high as fuck in a safe place and society can move the fuck on.

April 22nd

Aunt Rose would have been 90 today. I miss her a decade on. Still she wouldn’t want us to be sad. She would want us to have a stiff drink to her memory and maybe go get crab cakes. Think i just might do that. Had an interview today as well. Turned down the job. They wanted me to do medical collections on low income houses. Fuck and No to that. I have done that before and got fired for writing too much off. Never the fuck again will i step foot in that work. Mary agreed with me. Soul crushing work would not be worth the paycheck.

Ok what the actual fuck is going on in the news. Here in Maryland we have all kinds of people acting like PCP addicts. Two people yesterday attacked restaurants claiming they couldn’t get full and started ripping the place apart for raw meat. They got shot by cops when they wouldn’t stop attacking people. THEY TOOK SHOT TO THE CHEST AND KEPT GOING! Took a head shot to bring them down. This more of that bath salt shit? Also the BBC says in London an american tourist had some kind of fit and started attacking people and killed some woman by biting her throat out. fucking weird.

April 25th

Fucking hell that tourist in London? I knew them! It was Greg Flynn that awesome cook from the brew pub down town. What the hell. I am asking that too much. Dale hit me up today and told me to go to the store and buy all the dry goods, batteries, water, and the like i could. he also told me to go and get shells, arrows and wood for windows. He told me all of this but made me promise to not go around telling other people. I have known this dude since we were 8 and he has never ever given me a reason that this was bullshit. So i did. i look like a fucking weirdo prepper but when the guy with a high class clearance and known Generals by their first name you just do what he says.

i kept the receipts juuuuuust in case he lost hit nut for a day or something.

April 26th AM

Uh wtf? I woke up to Mary calling me and asking if i was home and ok and all kinds of stuff. It was 3am and while yes since she is not home i have been staying up late reading and playing games 3am is a bit even for my fat ass. She said that there are all kinds of news stories about Frederick and the surrounding area being quarantined. first i fucking heard about it. The news says it was that fuck up at Detrick. Some sort of pathogen did get out. I have seen this movie before. We are so very fucked aren’t we? Someone get Hoffman up in a helicopter to stop them from bombing my county. Mary is safe out in Utah so that is one thing off my mind.

I got off the phone and thanked Dale in my head for telling me to get supplies. Then i thought if he knew this was going down why didn’t he just tell me to get the fuck out? He thinks i have the pathogen. He was playing odds. I bet he couldn’t stand thinking i would be caught flat footed but couldn’t risk me having what ever got out of the base. Guess i can’t blame him. He has a kid to worry about. Called Mom and my Pop and sisters too told them i am fine have plenty of supplies and i’m not sick. Dad of course asked about my guns, bullets, and the like Mom was more worried about food and my step dad didn’t seem worried at all. My sister Loraine is taking the kids to her in-laws out in Washington State for a few weeks. She has the right idea i think.

April 26th PM

WELL FUCK! How fucking stupid does a group of people have to be to not listen to nerds when they say something is a bad idea? Who in government/bio-weapons creation though making A ZOMBIE PATHOGEN WAS A GOOD FUCKING IDEA?! You have got to be kidding me with this shit. Zombies?! That shit is supposed to be not real for a fucking reason. Ok from the top.

I still have power for now and i am able to watch the news and the like. There is a video being aired that shows two men and a woman in uniform with half bitten off faces and arms walking down rt 15. well staggering (at least these are Romero’s and not Boyle’s) getting hit by a car and when the lady gets out to see what she hit she GET EATEN! The guy hit by the car just gets up and bites the ever loving fuck out of her.

So needless to say after watching that at 10 this morning i put all that lumber and stuff to work. the windows in the basement, and first floor are now blocked but i have some small eye holes cut out so i can see. the door is bared from the inside and the sliding glass door on my deck in reinforced. I locked the garage and set up a watch post from the top floor. I cut down as much of the tree out front as i could to give myself a good view. i pulled in my whiskey barrel planters just incase i need to grow food in the house. I took stock of my food, water, and other essentials. so there is that. I figure as long as i don’t act like a fucking glutton i have enough food for two to three months. Socks has enough cat food for fucking forever considering we got a deal on cat food just before all of this. I sent Mary some pics of what i did. She is full on melting down. They shut down all flight to Maryland and the surrounding area today. She has a Cousin out on Wyoming that is the closest person she has and she is heading there now by road. She should be there soon and is going to text me. wtf is going on?!
