nicky + casually catching his bullet casing

#the old guard #yeah listen #andy and booker are having the existential crisis here #and dealing with it different ways #nicky and joe are the ones *who get caught in the crossfire* #they are the victims of andy's and booker's crisis #nile is the third option; restoring the spirits of the group #getting andy back on her feet and (iirc) arguing on booker's behalf #(could be misremembering that last) #anyway nicky is pretty content with what he's doing with his life #guns #hot people hitting things should be the subtitle of this movie

#only get very annoyed #when it's an email or letter and my name is RIGHT THERE #in my email signature #if it's that hard just copy and paste but nooo #once got a letter with no vowels at all in my name #there's only 2 vowels but apparently they're spicy #i've pretty much stopped noticing people mispronouncing it #it's more startling when people get it right

I saw someone a while back complaining that Aragorn stops being interesting in RotK because once he becomes king he's too lofty and remote and loses the humanity of his character, and I just...

Aragorn lets Beregond think he's being banished for a solid five seconds before telling him he's being sent to be Faramir's captain of the guard. He refuses to tell his friends that he's getting married because if they can't figure it out then they're just going to have to wait and see. Yes, he is a great and lofty king, but he is also still clearly a man whose best friends include Gandalf and Bilbo, and who consistently trolls people as a love language.

Darlings, let's do this again, properly this time. Less you forget what I'm about

Do you vote for the one you like best or the one you hate most? Yes

Propaganda under the cut, provided by your local bastard politician fanatic

Nova Prime: Served under Prima as Nova Major. The only one in this list that held the real Matrix, but he didn't become Prime because of it, he became the leader of Cybertron when he united it after the 13 Primes break up during the First Civil War (not to be confused with the Autobot-Decepticon Civil War). His reign was supposedly the most prosperous but it had all the seeds that would later make Cybertron get worse. He actually had a hand in ruling and did things like gettting the Cold Contruction program going. He fucked off to do expansionism and went MIA, returned 6.2 million years later to try to merge this universe and the evil universe he got sucked in. Is defeated but comes back again some years later and is stopped again.

Nominus Prime: He somehow became Prime after Nova dissapeared around the same time the Functionist Council was established. Notorious bigot whose reign was characterized by social disparity. However by the time of Chaos Theory he's more of a figurehead with the Senate being the ones that really do the ruling, but before that, it's said that it was the Coucil who called the shots, so for good or bad, I don't know what this dude ever actually did besides looking pretty. His contribution to the narrative is to be put in a coma and then dying, he has no spoken lines. His own Senators sent an attack on him to try to get to his matrix and dispose of him to put their own puppet Prime when they figured the thing was fake. In the alt timeline, the is the Council that kills him alonside the rest of the Senate. This guy just doesn't seem to have anyone on his team. But hey, he actually stays dead. Doesn't have any good shots in the comic so I had to use his reference sheet for this poll.

Sentinel Prime: The aforementioned puppet Prime that Proteus put on the job after killing Nominus. Also doesn't seem to do any legislation, but he does lead the Cybertronian Security forces, so that's something. Got Orion's boyfriend empurated and shadowplayed. The Council lost even more influence during his time. Megatron kills his whole senate and then him. He didn't really die and was wearing a suit the whole time, because he's really a servant of Onyx Prime that was waiting for his return. So it's revealed in an executived mandated-event in a plotline that you could erase and wouldn't really change the overall plot, but it allowed us to learn that he things romance is for people who are deranged.

Zeta Prime: Was friends with Shockwave who tought him such a trustworthy guy he left his boyfriend in Zeta's care. When Orion was this close to turning against the establisment, Zeta somehow becomes Prime after Megatron "kills" Sentinel and gets Orion to stay on his side only to constantly manipulate him and use him for propaganda. Pretends to be all cool and progressive and did technically do away with official functionism, but didn't fix Cybertron's inequality and secretly brainwashes people and other nasty stuff, but he is rulling. When he couldn't deal with the Decepticons he lost it and became worse until Orion got fed up and joined Megatron in killing him. Also actually stays dead. Pretty sure he only exists bc they killed Sentinel too early in the timeline. I have to constantly remind people who he is because they forget about him or get him confused with Sentinel.

#sentinel gets the 'YOU' reaction in fandom & other continuities #but here it's mr 'they killed off sentinel too early'

Holy shit, they got Voyager 1 working again!

15 billion miles away and NASA was able to tweak code packages on one of the onboard computers and it worked and Voyager 1 is sending signals back to earth for the first time since November.

Incredible!

The berry pickers creed

I will leave unripened berries untouched

A ripe berry need only be negotiated with, not fought

I will reasses my surroundings after every step, for my new perspective could reveal a berry patch previously hidden to me

The plant gets excited and happy when a barry is picked

The bug is not to be feared or killed, but gently celebrated, for it facilitated in the creation of the beloved berrys

I will not allow myself to be bullied by sharp thicket and I will retrieve even the most protected barry

Good evening folks

I want everyone to know that the character introductions for the book Unnatural Magic by C M Waggoner are excellent. I totally love that my troll sets out and she's like, I would like to find people to be in my clan. And she encounters someone in the snow

And then the next introduction follows some guy. Literally the most Some Guy tm you could have and you're reading it and it's like, this guy maybe seems cool? And there's no physical description until it connects to where she found him and it's like

Oh he's

Literally sopping wet

In the snow. Absolute loser. And he's just vibin. Saying whatever he wants in the most "This might as well happen" way possible and my girl really said

I love this pathetic loser more than anything

Anyway it's just the character intros so far for me but honestly? What a win. Thank the universe for staff recommendations. Y'all really came through for me this time god damn

#unnatural magic #please imperial radch fans read unnatural magic. they're exactly the same. (<- lying) #< prev tags #seivarden fans and astarion fans will adore jeckrun #Jeckrun isn't just some guy he's a subby narcissistic asshole #lucky for him tsira thinks that's hot

One thing I really like is, if you pay attention, Maia is definitely not a small person. He’s probably on the tall side.

He’s skinny, and he has small person energy from having been a child so recently and having spent so long being squashed, but he describes all manner of people as ‘short’ and almost no one as ‘tall’ unless it’s followed with ‘for a woman.’ And his initial mourning outfit is redyed from Setheris’ castoffs and ‘barely fits,’ and Setheris is notably not one of the people he considers short.

Also we know from the contrast drawn with Chavar and having met his enormous maternal grandfather that height runs in both sides of his family, so no shock right?

And since he’s still at the end of his teens he may actually have a bit more height coming to him, and if he stops being stressed out of his appetite and keeps getting a bit of healthy exercise, he’ll probably bulk up somewhat over the next several years.

What with his spooky Drazhadeise eyes and Being Emperor, once he finishes getting his feet under him I bet he’s going to grow up actually pretty imposing. When he isn’t undermining the effect by being sweet, that is. 😆

can we please bring back “in poor taste” as a concept

Because at some point it got folded in under “problematic,” and now every damn thing that has Unfortunate Implications or deals with sensitive topics indelicately enough to raise hackles or gores somebody’s sacred cow is treated as a grave injustice or a threat to society. Online activism culture has lost the vocabulary to express “this deals with touchy stuff in a way many people might find inappropriate, and you should probably avoid it if insensitivity on this subject gets you angry/upset, but it’s not promoting hateful ideas or demeaning people or affecting anything but my opinion of the creator’s sense of tact.”
