#and a GREAT haggler :)

[winterprince601]

i don't know how else to say it: jon snow comes from two long lines of reckless magical bullshit and is basically a melting pot of feral royal blood but that's less important than the fact that he was raised by ned stark.

#jon snow #asoiaf #asoiaf meta #house stark #ned stark #asoiaf shitpost #eddard stark #best dad #a song of ice and feels #maybe #i think it's incredibly important that rhaegar and lyanna created jon #i think their legacies will be influential on him and his status as targaryen-stark has magical significance #but they didn't PARENT him #congrats to ned for making the chosen one a levelheaded anxious man who cares more about his little sister than the existential threat #and a GREAT haggler :)

Some Howlett hcs pretty please? 🥺

Howlett 😭😭💙💜 (and yes, I do have more)

Howlett has an eternal alarm clock for five in the morning. He hates it as well and tries to sleep in, but it’s a struggle

He once had dog with a long scar over where an eye should’ve been- his name was Major (a Caucasian shepherd dog). A tan and dark brown type bigger than the man himself.

Major helped Howlett hunt and defended him no matter what the monster was that they decided to take on

Howlett hates grape jelly, something passed down onto Logan for some reason

He has an allergy to feathers but refuses to admit it- it’s obvious though when his eyes water up and he’s got his bandana tight around his nose and mouth when it comes to rocket roosters (or X or Coco)- those two are minimal, but roosters are his weakness

Howlett roasts those plier imps every time he sees them- they just give him the absolute creeps and he finds it’s easier to make jokes than to let himself think that they were once human and had evolved into that

Thoughts like that horrify him

Howlett is a kind and generous man, but he is also a hell of a haggler

Arvio has found that out the hard way for his overpriced items

The Mysterious Man is a circumstantial case to him however

He tunes out of fireside meetings often when he knows they’re just a weekly one

Because of that, he missed the news that Krystal was pregnant when it was announced

He thought they were cheering for one of Cooper’s yakmels getting pregnant again

Him and Logan have a series of inside jokes that no one can figure out

Haru and Howlett discuss theories on monster evolutions and cross breedings of some like the pensky

Howlett draws the line at those that resemble humans

He had a great dislike for Yan- he just rubs him the wrong way

He always knew Logan was smarter than he let on- he’d seen it enough times in the field and at home

But to hear his teacher tell him firsthand that Logan showed promise and intelligence even if he wasn’t necessarily book smart (mind you- he thought Logan was acting up or a disturbance in class)

He damn near weeped

The quickest way to that man’s heart is to acknowledge Logan and his efforts or capabilities or whatnot

Howlett used to always ruffle up Logan’s hair because it tweaked the kid- even when he was an adult and slightly taller

The last things Howlett touched before he died in order: Logan’s hair, his face, and over his heart.

The T7S gang, on the Oregon Trail.

Eric: Teacher. Has no money, and seemingly has limited skills. But he's the leader, and he is somehow good at shooting buffaloes. Before he left, Red repeatedly told him how to fix the wagon wheel. He somehow remembers, but Donna and Hyde have to do the heavy lifting. Survivor.

Donna: Occasional journalist (blame the misogyny). She and Hyde carry the two buffaloes Eric shot back to camp (Hyde kills one). Makes sure the gang heads out on the trail on time, and makes sure they have enough supplies. She and Eric insist on taking the Bartow Trail, and both try to insist on paying for the ferry at the Kansas River rather than caulking the wagon. Hyde says they're lame. Survivor.

Hyde: Carpenter. Calls himself a "prospector." He and Donna do the heavy lifting, and is always an advocate of caulking the wagon on the river (he's mechanically adept, and cheap). Eric and Jackie reluctantly "supervise." Survivor.

Jackie: Banker's daughter, with lots of money and has seemingly limited skills. But she's the one who actually fixed the wagon wheel and is a great haggler. Along with Donna and Eric, she always wants to pay for the ferry, if possible. Survivor.

Kelso: Blacksmith (he loves playing with fire). Broke the wagon, by rocking it back and forth. Hyde wants to abandon him on the side of the trail with all of the makeshift tombstones. Almost drowns in the Kansas River. Gets a snake bite and survives, only to die of dysentery before they reach the Bartow Trail. Buried on the trail.

Fez: Tailor. Drowns while caulking the wagon on the Kansas River. Buried on the trail.

going to rate all of these spells because they all piss me off to some extent

Conjure Baked Goods one of the better spells in the game, can be good to get a quick boost in cookies if you need to afford something right NOW. the backfire can be pretty rough though. 7/10

Force the Hand of Fate another pretty good spell, pretty pricey but well worth it if you get it to land. the backfire is borderline nonexistent too, since you dont NEED to click the wrath cookie. id say the real downside of the backfire is the hefty chunk of magic you lose. also, not that great for more passive builds where you're using the shimmering veil or the holobore spirit, but great otherwise. 8/10

Stretch Time kind of whatever spell, since it really only works well in conjunction with another spell or golden cookie effects. and even then, it doesn't make them THAT much longer. the backfire can really fuck you up too, if you have a good thing going. still, its affordable, so you're not losing that much by using it. 5/10

Spontaneous Edifice one of the worst spells by far, too many qualifications needed for the good effect, and a pretty bad backfire. plus, in the late game where all your buildings are over 400, it literally does nothing. WAY too expensive, pretty whatever effect (even in the early game where it does work), bad backfire, who gives a shit. 3/10

Haggler's Charm really reaaaally boring spell. 2% is not a lot, as im sure you can imagine. only lasting one minute isn't that big of a downside, since if youre using this you've probably got an upgrade in mind that you want to buy, but 2% cheaper barely makes a difference. i would say 1 hour for the backfire is pretty rough, but like... you're not really buying that many upgrades in the late game. gets a bonus point for referencing loadsamoney in the flavor text though. also really good for getting the A Wizard is You achievement, since it's the cheapest (normal functioning) spell, so another bonus point for that. 5/10

Summon Crafty Pixies has all the issues i listed with Haggler's Charm, but this one is a little more handy since you're usually buying more buildings than you are upgrades. 6/10

Gambler's Fever Dream i will say, i do like this one, if only for the fact that its extremely gimmicky. i like funny gimmicks, ill admit that. still not all that useful, even for getting the A Wizard is You achievement, since even though it's TECHNICALLY the cheapest spell, it could very easily pick Spontaneous Edifice and eat up half your magic bar. 4/10, bonus point for being funny

Resurrect Abomination yaaaaaaawn. who gives a shit man. wrinklers are not that hard to come by, so i don't really need a spell to summon them. nor do i really care if it backfires and i lose one. 3/10

Diminish Ineptitude this one is actually quite good! really it's only good in conjunction with Conjure Baked Goods or Force the Hand of Fate, but still! if it works, great! go for a spell you wanted to use! if it doesn't, just don't use spells for the next 10 minutes! pretty good overall, just wish the other spells were good enough to warrant using it more. 7/10

feel free to let me know how incorrect my opinions are and explain why some of these are actually good because i want to know what situation would warrant any of these

[prosperous-night-market]

The Prosperous Night Market really has it all. From magical amulets to ancient tomes to even live magical creatures, if you're looking for something, you can find it. Each of Juliet's Progeny has their own responsibility at the Market.

Juliet herself is the woman in charge. She runs her Market cleanly and efficiently with an emphasis on honest dealing. If she catches crooked dealing in the Market, customer or merchant, you will be banned.

Godric is her right hand, her second in command. He is usually roaming the Market to handle any smaller scuffles or disagreements. If Juliet is not present, she trusts him to make the decisions.

Li-Na and Louis are appraisers. If you're unsure of the worth of an object, buying or selling, these are the two to go to. Between them they can determine age, authenticity, value, and safety of the object you bring to them.

Grace and Liu-Min are the saleswomen reps for Juliet. For items personally being sold by the Prosper name, these two are the ones to handle it. They're both great hagglers and can help you find what you're looking for, even if it's not at their booth.

Paris and Aina are security. If things get out of hand or you need to be removed from the Market, they will be there to 'kindly' show you the door. You put up a fuss, well, they are allowed to use force... and that could mean a few broken bones or a pint of missing blood. Or both.

[oldfacesnewdawnoffical]

Can we get the story of scourge? Or anything about them!? Their fraction even? How it’s run?

Hm… let’s see…

The son of Quince, Tiny was born as the runt to a litter of three. Due to his size, his littermates bullied him often, especially when it came to stealing his share of nutrition, and eventually did away with him by tricking him into a scrap of old fabric and throwing him into a river. He nearly drowned, but was rescued by a kind, elderly black molly-hound named Haggler who essentially raised him from then on. Desperate to keep her safe, and himself alongside his adopted mother figure, he started sweeping the surrounding areas for a better place to live - and was ultimately confronted by the king of the ruins, a twisted mass of an archfiend. Struggling to escape, he ultimately turned to fight the beast, and ended up tricking it off of a great height, where he impaled it upon a jagged spire of stone. His victory was seen and spread, and it wasn’t long until he took the name Scourge, warrior of the streets, The Slayer, The Protector, commander of those bound not by blood, but by fear.

The Bloodbound is definitely not a faction; they’re not part of the fealty, and look with envy and disdain upon those who occupy the lush, fertile, safe forestlands. They’re more like… a gang, really. Sort of… Think of if an activist organization/commune had a really weird baby with the way a medieval kingdom is set up, but they were led by a tiny Batman and full of a bunch of aggressive outcasts governed by fear and intimidation, and you’ve got yourself the Bloodbound.

They have an incredibly strict, set hierarchy: at the very top, their leader, the strongest amongst them, is their commander and founder, Scourge. He has a reputation for being bloodcurdling vicious, terrifying and ruthless, but also with a distinctive softness towards the weak and a loathing for the fealty. When he first stepped foot within the ruins, he gained power horrifyingly swiftly, as he single-handedly slain the eldest archfiend that haunted and dominated the streets. With Scourge at the very top in the wake of such a mind numbing victory, everything just kind of fell into place beneath him.

His wardens, his personal guard of sorts, rank directly below him; they flank Scourge, act as his escorts and messengers, etc. They’re essentially the direct enforcers of his will; whatever Scourge wants? They do it, without question. Most of Scourge’s orders to them, however, are asking to offer food to the weak or put a haughty head in their place.

Speaking of which: the regiment heads! The Bloodbound is split into four sectors… I suppose factions, as well ;). The heads are third in the Bloodbound’s rankings, with those of their regiment ranking directly below them. The heads don’t so much lead them as they manage them, making sure everyone is healthy, well-fed, and satisfied in their roles. The heads report to the wardens, and the wardens report to Scourge.

The Claw Regiment are the fighters, skilled in combat and typically used to swiftly quell any uprisings or keep the untamed archfiends at bay. They are managed by Fury, a one-eyed molly cat with a tendency towards violence.

The Tooth Regiment are the scavengers, the hunters, the gatherers. They find the food that feeds the entirety of the Bloodbound, and distribute it evenly amongst their ranks. They are managed by Mourn, a blind molly hound. (Roughly inspired by/pays homage to @am-i-too-old-for-warriors-yet’s Cricketleap; they were one of the original inspirations for OFND)

The Horn Regiment are the Bloodbound’s primary defense unit. They sweep the streets, take note of infrastructure and potential hiding spots, keep things clean and safe. They are managed by Claw, a massive, mutated rat tom the size of a cat.

The Wing Regiment are the Bloodbound’s eyes. They survey the streets, scouting out anything new that may change from the day-to-day normalcy. They are how Scourge stays updated on the daily affairs of those under his care; if anything threatens them, the Wing Regiment (and their head) report directly to him to be taken care of. They are managed by Hiss, a vulture jack with a clipped wing and a mangled beak.

Anyone not part of a regiment are referred to as unofficials or wanderers - creatures that are technically part of the Bloodbound, but who are too weak, young, old, or otherwise unable to take part in the natural hierarchy and sorting of the primary group. Rust is an unofficial/wanderer of the Bloodbound!

#old faces new dawn #ask #flippythegodzilla #warrior cats rewrite #warriors rewrite #culture card #<- ??? I guess lmao #it’s definitely not set up how the culture cards for the factions will be #but there’s a whole lot of information here that basically sums these guys up so… #yea culture card lol #the bloodbound #bloodclan

no but did anybody else notice that Nandor’s description of his beloved in 4x02 includes being a “great haggler”

and then this episode has Nadja claiming to be a great haggler?

and in the trailer for next week’s ep Guillermo describes the relationships in the house as polyamorous??

and at comic con the creators teased a “full vampire wedding”???

idk it could be coincidental - i don’t think it would make much narrative sense so far this season for Nandor to suddenly realize his other housemates are his true soulmates (he hasn’t had much screen time with Nadja/Laszlo thus far this season and his storylines have largely been detached from theirs, plus he’s known them for decades but still refers to Guillermo as his “closest companion”), but the use of the word “haggler” in both these instances seems oddly specific.

Okay, so, I need some advice. I asked the plant lady if she can find me a good old pan on the haggler’s market, because they’re selling second-hand goods, and I’m awful at haggling, and she’s great at it. She told me she already has a pan that fits my requirements (kinda?), and she got it for cheap, and she doesn’t need it, and I could get it for free if I could use it.

Now, what I wanted was an old, indestructible pan that would last me forever, that was made out of some metal that cannot be scratched or destroyed via cooking. What she got me was a pan, that is fairly big and heavy, but it has a layer of teflon on it, that is scratched off in the middle. Now, she told me she didn’t realize it was a teflon pan when she bought it, and that it’s okay because the teflon layer can just be scratched off, and whatever metal is under it, can be used for cooking. As a test of ‘whether it’s safe’, she said one just needs to press a magnet to the pan, if it’s non-magnetic, it’s safe to use. We check it, and it’s not magnetic. She claims it’s safe! (She’s generally very unconcerned with poisoning and will eat poisonous stuff on purpose, so I’m not feeling extremely secure here.)

So I come home, worried and fascinated, and here’s what we’re working with:

Now the layer of teflon is extremely easy to scratch off, it can be scratched off by fingernails, it’s all but falling off. But, the layer underneath could be absolutely anything, it can be a mix of two different substances, and some of it might not be safe to make food on. I don’t know how to check!

I google it, and I get the same answer: test using a magnet, but the internet says, if it’s non-magnetic, it means it’s not made out of iron. That means it could be containing nickel, and nickel is not food safe. So it’s pretty much the opposite of what I’ve been told by the plant lady.

I did also find a million articles about how teflon is poisonous, but it really can be scratched off completely. Now, is there any way to check what is that metal underneath and whether it’s food safe? It’s fairly heavy, non-magnetic. I checked all of the other pots and pans for magnetic activity, and found that even if they’re not magnetic on the sides, there’s some metal at the bottom. So I have not learned that much.

Did anyone have experience in scratching off teflon from a pan and then using it, and whether that is safe? I do dislike how it has two handles instead of one long handle, which would be more useful when stir-frying stuff in a pan. But I feel like I could make a long handle myself, if the pan is usable.

I don’t want to throw it away, so I figured, if it’s not usable for cooking, I could use it as a sink-replacement, when I’m out there in nature, I could keep it filled with water and wash my face in it. I could also, make a little bird-bath from it. I could bury it in my yard and fill it with rocks and sand and put some water in, to create a little pond for frogs! (Though I’m a little worried about whether that’s safe, if rainwater isn’t drinkable anymore, the pond would be catching the rain. Are the rivers safe? Rain falls into the rivers.)

If you have any alternative ideas about what a pan like this can be used for, please share it here! I accept all suggestions.

— drucilla’s character info sheet. (or a quick cheatsheet on relevant info regarding dru)

name: drucilla pritchard

name meaning: drucilla means “mighty, strong.”

alias/es: drucilla is an alias, adopted to hide herself from marines. it came from a book she liked as a kid. pritchard came later, to honor the woman that took her in as a teenager.

ethnicity: white (irish)

one picture you like: this in particular because i imagine it as one of her freer, happier moments. in a modern au, it was taken during college.

three hcs you never told anyone:

she’s skilled in forgery, whether it’s forging signatures or creating copies of famous art. in her modern verse, it’s how she’s made extra money.

her first kill was through her devil fruit. ended up with her jaws around their throat. she threw up for an hour afterward due to the taste of blood, and since then, puts her swordsmanship first and uses her power as backup. it’s worked better this way for the element of surprise.

despite her flighty, self-saving habits, she’s incredibly loyal. she’s someone who can pull stories from even the most curmudgeonly people. will honor debts even if it’s more work on her end. she loves hard after years of being afraid to.

three things your character likes doing in their free time:

art. she’s a painter primarily, but sketches too. she doesn’t have much room to paint while on the sea, but in times when she has a stable place on land, hanging up her own art helps it feel like home.

rock climbing. she’s always been fond of being out in nature, but after ten years of climbing ropes aboard pirate ships, she’s come to enjoy the familiarity and feel of being able to pull herself out of anything.

thrifting/antique shopping. she’s a great haggler with a good eye for special finds, but she also takes great appreciation in the history and make of items.

three people your character loves (or important people mentioned in her canon):

iona pritchard. adoptive mother of sorts, village fortune teller that would never tell her if her powers were real or not. drucilla regrets keeping up a misguided wall between them, in holding tight to the memory of her birth parents. she took iona’s last name after her death.

isabela rivaini. captain and greatest friend. when drucilla found herself alone again and struggling, she met isabela and, after swapping similar stories, joined her crew. isabela taught her how to wield a sword, how to fight, how to sail. in return, drucilla gave her her utmost loyalty and use of her devil fruit powers.

dracule mihawk. this can be switched out if she ever interacts with another mihawk, but as i’ve used mine to flesh out her character, he’s become quite important to her story. he does her the greatest favor of aiding her in rescuing isabela, which cements her loyalty and affection, and in doing so, they find a kindred soul in each other. he calls out her bullshit, and she never lets his attitude daunt her.

two things your character regrets:

packing up and leaving after a fight with iona without letting her or the friends drucilla had made know. when drucilla came back to the village later, iona had died, and she was too guilt-ridden to check in with anyone else.

looking the other way with some things because she was more focused on saving her own skin.

two phobias your character has:

thunderstorms make her uneasy because she nearly drowned during one. she’s had a few close calls, but this one in particular was by far the closest. she felt her body start to shut down as she watched her crew get pulled under the water too.

the conflicting ideas that there’s either nothing after death or instead of heaven waiting for her, it’ll be hell, for all the horrible things she’s done.

extra headcanons:

she can dance, but she can't sing. singing is relegating to humming while working or while drunk.

knowledgeable about plants and flowers to an unexpected degree that comes from the brief period she was on her own. she usually has flower detailing on her clothes that she sews herself.

her first wanted poster doesn’t show all of her face, instead showing only her scarred eye and lower 1/4th of her face peeking out from under the brim of her hat, like this. her updated poster after marineford shows the entirety of her face.

while she's the type to be slow to rise in argument, usually having not necessarily a good head, but can pick and choose when she lets go of her anger, she has been banned from at least two bars across the four quadrants for threatening to bite someone and making good on it once.

#study. drucilla.

Dead Weeks

The shittier of our Mercedes connects wants to touch base with Walk-Outs. That's fine and dandy, but his stated promos and rates make it fairly obvious he isn't willing to tweak his offer by a single percentile. Add to that the fact that he up and lies and stuffs his Walk-Outs list with Service Department clients on the vague hopes of eliciting referrals, and Sarah and I are left running cleanup routines all morning.

A few hours in, Sandro dares to Slack us.

"How's it going?"

He's noticed the statistics. Thirty referrals across the entire Call Centre, twenty more for the WFH corps, six from Sarah and I during our off moments. By our metrics, this is great stuff. By his, it's lacklustre.

"Yeah, what is this about asking clients who came in on oil changes to consider a buyback and a flip just weeks before Christmas, Sandro?"

He waffles. "Well, you know, Peter's sales are up, so are Erica's and, well, I thought you could, you know-"

Peter and Erica's sales are up because these are deferred bookings. The sales proper happened in September or October, but nothing was finalized until now. Sandro doesn't give a shit. All he sees is a hump in statistics, and he wants a camel's hump of his own...

I sigh. "Keep pushing like this, and you'll be out of the dealership before Valentine's, Sandro. You're in a Mercedes-Benz dealership, not some Mom-and-Pop outlet flipping Grandpa's old-and-reliable Oldsmobile. You know for a fact that you're asking us to deal with serial hagglers who demand data."

He tries to circle back. "But these are good cars that-"

Sarah cuts in. "That aren't necessarily up for grabs, Sandro. I get that you think there's not enough comers, but you can't squeeze blood from a stone, especially not at these interest rates. You're welcome to pore over the call logs, you'll find that those we do send your way are solid."

There's a few seconds of tense silence. "What if I injected CSI inquiries into the Walk-Outs, could we-"

The No that follows also includes Walt, this time around. Sandro protests, waffles and eventually hangs up while sounding like a defeated six year-old who's just realized he won't get his much-vaunted Super Nintendo for Christmas.

Peter comes on, as he's the onsite supervisor for the day. "How's it going?"

"There's a line from Blade that's always been true for all sorts of stuff, I've found. Some motherfuckers are always trying to ice-skate uphill."

Peter, alias Scrooge, snickers sardonically. "Preach it, brother."
