DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

As goofy and hamfisted as it was, I loved the new Aqua Man movie. It made me cry a little. I don't think if I watched ut a few years ago I woulda loved it as much as I do right now, but as someone thinking about starting a family- gah.

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

DISCOUNTED RWBY AND RESIDENT EVIL COMMS!!

Posting this again but now with images and examples!

For an undefined time I will be doing 20$ colored sketch commissions for those who want something RWBY or RE related! It can be an OC, a canon character, a self insert, ship art, an AU... as long as it's Resident Evil or RWBY themed!

It's 20$ for a full body sketch and you can add an extra character without extra charge! (If you want a portrait of half body instead of a full body DM me and I'll fix the price for u)

Vertin's personality and traits based on in-game context.

Contains Spoilers for Chapters 1 - 4

Vertin is a pianist and a painter.

You can see a piano in the back of her office in the Suitcase by the window. It makes sense in regards to Vertin's musically inclined Arcanum.There's also a couch next to it, perfect for someone who wants to hear her play. There's an easel and stool in her office too. She doesn't merely collect art, she creates it.

Vertin's still playful under all her composure.

We know baby Vertin was a little menace, but we can still see a spark of that mischief in her later years. For example, Vertin slapping a fake mustache on Regulus to avoid Sonetto really captures this. We can tell from other characters' voice lines that Vertin will most likely play along with their shenanigans. She'll chirp like a bird in response to Rabies talking about his bird friends (Wilderness interaction). She'll help Sonetto during hide and seek (Wilderness). She watches movies with Eternity and An An Lee. X asks her for help with his projects. Going through her crew's voice lines really paints a better picture of how she interacts with others. The voice lines point to someone playful and curious when she's not in work mode.

Vertin's love language is giving.

We know baby Vertin loved to give gifts to a reluctant Sonetto, but that part of her still exists. She tried to grant everyone's last wishes during the 1929 Storm. We also know she gives Lilya alcohol as a gift upon her return from 1929. She is also very direct. We see her ask people what they want or what can she do for them throughout the story. To expand further, you could say she likes fulfilling people's desires instead of limiting it to material gifts. She's the only one truly immune to the Storm. None of her crew is guaranteed tomorrow. Just like in 1929, she'll do what she can and hope it's enough.

Vertin was a gremlin.

She was a crappy student, yet she was also a resourceful gremiln. Vertin never liked the institution! Honor student? Top of the class? Never. Teachers are filled with that "Godamnit Vertin" energy toward her too. I hope we see more gremlin energy in the future.

One-sided childhood friends.

Sonetto and Vertin were desk mates but Sonetto couldn't stand Vertin when they were kids. She even tried to avoid Vertin at times but Vertin persisted with her gifts. We can see this in the hallway scene. Sonetto's about to change routes to avoid Vertin but Vertin called out to her to give her a frog she caught. Kinda funny how Sonetto can't stand Vertin but also can't resist her when they were kids. Vertin and Matilda were actually closer back then. Well, at least until the tear gas incident. Sonetto changed after Vertin was hurt and the rascal wasn't around to bother her. I feel like this tidbit says a lot about Vertin and her influence on people.

Vertin is a collector.

Baby Vertin collected rocks, bugs, and frogs. Adult Vertin collects painting and mementos of people she's lost. Things were simpler as a kid.

Vertin is stronger than she looks.

She was a wild child and she's still got it years later. Vertin can run for long periods of time, endure injuries, and climb obstacles. That, and she's still essentially a child solider. We see her hold her own when she needs to fight solo doing stuff like dodging bullets. On that note, Sonetto, Matilda, and other indoctrinated children should be fairly athletic too. Foundation doesn't raise soft bitches.

Vertin befriends people in every Era, despite knowing she'll lose them.

Compared to the other children raised by the Foundation, Vertin's traveled the world and witnessed loss in every Era. This opens doors to a whole new set of questions. How did she change over time? How do the Arcanists she recruited before the story treat her? Did she have crushes in previous Eras? Were the oranges just as bitter? Vertin seems to get close to people very easily and doesn't build walls around herself despite the trauma. You'd think someone who's lost so much would stop trying to get close to people, but she doesn't.

Vertin is optimistic.

Even as a child, she was full of hope. It's why she fights for the future and is a core part of her personality. She needs to fight for all those she lost and stop the Storm from taking more lives.

Vertin gets quiet when embarrassed/shy.

She'll blush and fall silent, but she doesn't stammer or go all tsundere. We can see this in voice lines. Sonetto's high praises make her cover her face with her hands. Eternity gets a reaction out of her when she holds her hand. She also blushed when she received surprise smooch and fell silent.

Vertin has unique scars on her back.

Arcana describes "A moon, an eye, and interesting lines." If these are scars and not likea tattoo or something then they must appear as if someone carved into the skin. It's a big scar. By the way, this was exposed after she was shot in the back multiple times but remained standing so idk what you make of that.

Vertin was experimented on by the Foundation.

Vertin is the only one with the antibody Asymmetric Protein G, which gives her immunity. She the only successful experiment. There's...a lot to unpack here.

Imagine Natsu and Lucy meeting again in their next life in a modern setting. They don't remember anything about their adventures in Fairy Tail and all the good times. But the thing is Happy is reborn as a normal cat, he can't speak but he remembers it all and watches them fall in love yet again. (Maybe while playing matchmaker too.)

so you have a mother

The soundtrack alone convinced me to play Baldur's Gate 3, but Astarion made me stay.
