Ahoy! It is time for a somewhat more on-schedule episode of Vex's Mechs and Memes. I have taken all but one other of @vexwerewolf's very excellent memes about the mechs of Lancer and voiced them like I'm Dave's Spokesman from LoadingReadyRun.

For what I believe is #27 out of 28 (at time of writing), I am going to present the one that probably served as the prologue for a level in Viscera Cleanup Detail. The Caliban!

I hope you enjoy! Also, three things of note: 1. I might not be able to get an episode in next week 2. The next episode will not be the last 3. You have the power to determine what the next episode will be through this poll

Complete: Farsight Enclaves/ Mu’gulath Bay Boarding Patrol

Hello everyone, I have been hard at work on a new project to give myself a chance to paint something other than purple. The new Boarding Actions missions and the Arks of Omen storyline is honestly been really inspiring for what I would want to do narratively with some of my smaller forces. I know so far I have posted two space marines, but I am in my heart, a Xenos player. Tau was actually my first army, and I think even though I am proud of a lot of these, you can tell looking at these I have improved.

Still, for fun a little background on my Tau. See the majority of them are decendants of those who fought the imperium for the sept world of Mu’Gulath Bay, or Agrellan as it was known. Mu’Gulath Bay however, was destroyed in frustration by the Imperium as they retreated back across the Damocles Gulf. So a rivalry and hatred of the Imperium was stoked within them, but that did not sway them from the Greater Good. That happened, once Commander Shas’O Dal’Yth Por’Karra or “Commander Clearwater” was placed in charge.

Clearwater is a veteran of two major wars, the Damocles Gulf Crusade, and the horror of the 4th Sphere of Expansion. Within these two events, he was taught many lessons, and one of the greatest, is that humanity cannot be trusted.

It was this, and seeing the fire in the hearts of his new Cadre, that led him to rebellion, fleeting to join the Farsight Enclaves. The forces of Dal’Yth remain in hot pursuit, ready to bring him to justice for crimes against the Empire.

However, with the reveal of the accursed Arks of Omen appearing all over the universe. Clearwater and his breakaway forces were faced with a number of strange signals, one of which was identified as a T’au beacon. This signal was eerily familiar to Clearwater, who insisted that all forces be diverted to answer this call, as it matched the signature of the ship he led into the 4th Sphere of Expansion.

Which, is the sneak peek into the next project I want to do. See the new Boarding action game looks a lot of fun, but the terrain is like, SUPER expensive. so I am making, in the spirit of Xenos lovers, a non-imperium Space Hulk board.

See, the walls and floor are based off the game “Fire Warrior” which had an interior spaceship level.

Its not going to be a perfect match, and I am learning I cannot cut straight edges to save my life, however I think the cramped, broken, demonically fused corridors of a Space Hulk, give the perfect example for why things don’t line up perfectly like on a Tau spaceship.

The Board took up most of my hobby time since the last post, and I have had that collection of Tau mostly done for a while now, they just needed some highlights on the Crisis Suits, along with the insane amount of Freehanding I decided to do, since I wanted each squad to get its own markings.

Episode 4 of the Shogun remake is a good showcase for a specific development in the history of warfare. When galleons, made to survive the rougher conditions of the Atlantic, went up against galleys and small boats made for seas, the ancient tactics of boarding and fighting hand-to hand didn’t work anymore because they were just too tall.

There’s one story of a galleon sailing into the Mediterranean and getting attacked by quinqueremes and galleasses, and when one tried to ram her like it was the Peloponnesian or Punic Wars the galley just crushed herself against the side of the galleon, doing no damage.

Dakota, a rather hard to read and mellow character who specialized in experimental personal MPHASE shielding. A bit of a adrenaline junkie.

What comes to mind when you think of Spring?

My mind almost always goes to spring cleaning, time to plant and prep the garden, and the rebirth of the world for another season. And that’s exactly what’s going on around Raven Central. We’ve been opening the windows, sweeping out the old, and prepping the land for another year of planting and growth. Going along with that is a little bit of cleanup on the site. So if you happen to see a…

when are you going to write the Sapsorrow fic 💀💀💀💀

Oh, you mean this one?

I'll just need to watch this to refresh my memory.

The Storyteller - Sapsorrow

"Whom so ever fits the ring becomes wed to the warlord who owns it"

Themes: enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, forced proximity, lord and subordinate, one bed trope, apprehension, mutual pining, obligation, slow burn, eventual love, protective, "where is my wife" trope.

I would love to give this a go. I gotta think of a playlist to hyperfixate on it.

(And Sis, I know it's you 💀).

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 3

The 50th anniversary of AIMs (American Indian Movement's) occupation at Wounded Knee is coming up, so the Lakota People's Law Project is leading another push to free an AIM activist who was wrongly convicted of killing two federal agents in 1975- Leonard Peltier. He was convicted on false evidence and false testimony and sentenced to two life sentences. He is now 78.

LPL has a formatted email up on their website now which you can personalize and send to Biden to ask for clemency. (Please personalize emails like this so it doesn't get filtered as spam. Just move some words around, add some, take some, you don't have to write a whole email.) Please pass this around.

What are some BL couples who you DO think could actually have a long haul perfect ending and not burn out two months after the show ends?

(Also if possible, could you drop the show titles aswell? Thanks)

20 BL Couples I Love & Think Would Actually Make it In the Long Run

Ha, yeah I intentionally didn't include the titles in that last post because I was being negative. Since these are positive... here you go!

Advance Bravely

I know right? One from China. But yeah I think they're very opposites attract but still well balanced and suited to each other. Plus "stern but indulgent Daddy + spoiled brat" is a favorite dynamic of mine.

Guardian

He waited 10,000 gd years. It has to work out. Despite censorship.

Old Fashion Cupcake

They both mature enough to be very motivated.

Tokyo in April Is

They suffered for that love. It's an enduring eternal kinda thing.

Cherry Blossoms After Winter

Taesung is NEVER letting him go. Never.

Long Time No See

Not only are they staying together, can you imagine anyone trying to separate them?

Nobleman Ryu's Wedding

I just think they gonna live in obscurity in the middle of the woods with their books forever.

Our Dating Sim

Of course they're gonna last, that was the whole point of the show.

Oh Boarding House

I think they both had to come around to each other with a lot of self-examination as to what it meant for them, their identities, and their lives. That kind of thoughtfulness bodes well for longevity.

(This is an under-appreciated gem. IMHO)

Be Loved In House I Do

Yeah they just so into each other but also adoring but understand each other's quirks. There's no meanness or pettiness to either of them. Double down on affection + chemistry is a good recipe for longevity.

DNA Says Love You

They came back for, and waited for, each other.

HIStory Obsessed

It's in the title. This level of mutually obsessed disfunction only ends in death.

HIStory 4: Close to You

Problematic side couple. Dito the above.

Thousand Stars

It's high romance of the eternal forever kind.

2 Moons Ambassador

They are *that* couple. "I married my college sweetheart and am incandescently happy forever in a disgustingly sappy way" that shouldn't work but does.

My Only 12%

Again, they suffered too much not to make it work. They are basically each other's half, it codependent, but that's the point.

Ingredients

They define domesticity. The true key to most couple longevity is the ability to actually live together.

Oh My Sunshine Night

File these two under the "once he had a taste, its' forever." The seme is too bossy and too possessive for anyone but the one he picked. This one lasts because Rain would MAKE IT last.

Oxygen

Dito the above, only softer.

Until We Meet Again

Of course. I mean, OF COURSE OF COURSE. That's the point. Dean's entire existence would be a failure if they broke up.

Despite my love of the genre I didn't pick any high school BL couples. Even if I think they may have a chance I'm not sure how I feel about that kind of pairing.

I didn't pick ones we know lasted because they showed it to us: e.g. Unintentional Love Story, His, Dear Doctor, My Ride.

There are a few I left off because I think they could last as a couple but the circumstances of their lives and surrounding, means I'm not sure if they would be allowed to, like Not Me, Never Let Me Go, Manner of Death.

sometimes you just have to put old people in the most bonkers fashion you can find on pinterest

p03's of course got a combination of corny tech aesthetics and cowboy vibes (as soon as i saw those CD pants i knew i had to put him in them); mag's got an eye-searing cosmic 80's-core thing going on, as he should; grimora's rife with goth/punk statement pieces that were equal parts fun and annoying to draw; and leshy is a goblincore nightmare

i hope you all enjoy gazing upon these fashion crimes as much as i enjoyed throwing them together lmao

(pinterest boards for poe, mag, grimora, and leshy are linked here if you'd like to see my references, pieces that didn't make the cut, and also a handful of cursed vibe pics thrown in for good measure)

#inscryption #retyrement au #p03 inscryption #magnificus inscryption #grimora inscryption #leshy inscryption #i've had the world's most cursed pinterest boards for these guys sitting around for too long #now we all suffer the consequences of my actions #you probably haven't seen the last of the pics on those boards either #if something didn't work out for these pieces i'd wager i'll find an excuse to draw it another time lmao

First I hear about a live action Frozen remake and now this

Creativity is dead.

#I’ve never actually seen how to train your dragon #I mean I think I saw the first one once #but still #I don’t think it would be well served as live action #a lot of it has to be cgi anyways #I mean… unless they do practical effects 👀#okay I could be on board if they minimize the cgi and actually make some dragons #but I doubt it will happen

This is coming from a show-only fan, but. Gotta say. I was having conniptions of delight over Siuan and Moraine in this episode. It is the BEST angst I have been served in forever. It is SO good. Don't know if this is "character murder" of Book!Siuan, but I for one find this characterization extremely compelling?

Because? She's doing exactly the same thing Moiraine is doing? Sacrificing everything she loves; and everyone she loves; for what she thinks is the only thing that matters, saving the world.

The only thing is that they disagree on how that must be done. Perfectly symmetrical opposites. Their lives and hearts ground to dust beneath the wheel.

The fucking. The fucking flashback flashes. When they were torn apart. I am dead? I have died. I have been murdered, and it felt so good.

#WoT #Wheel of Time #it was SSSOOOO GGOOODDDD #I also think Siuan is being like. EXTREMELY valid here.#it is the LITERAL APOCALYPSE #it makes every sense for the person who was stuck in the den of politics and vipers #to be brutally practical.#they tried the idealistic way; they failed; let's bite the bullet and do it how it must be done #she thinks her only ally has been taken from the board #her actions make perfect sense. I really can't hold them against her.#BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT HURTS LIKE FFUUUUCCCKK

Oh also I'm changing her last name so ignore that on the (outdated) character sheet.

I've figured out why, even though Eloise and Colin are the two characters who are most consistent in showing Penelope love and affection, Penelope fans are so quick to crucify them.

It's because they are the only characters showing Penelope regular love and affection. They're her emotional crutches.

So when their interests and wishes clash with their "obligation" to assist or please Penelope, going to places Penelope doesn't want them to go, growing close to people who take them away from Penelope, having interests in subjects Penelope doesn't want to talk about, not "listening" (obeying) Penelope when she tries to tell them how to live their lives, they are failing in their duty to Penelope.

Because Penelope hasn't got anyone else really looking out for her, anything Eloise and Colin do that isn't for Penelope's benefit is seen as a "dereliction of duty".

In the eyes of Pen fans; and I do think to an extent, in the eyes of Pen herself, because Penelope is so dependant on them for emotional support and friendship, Penelope should be, and must be, their only priority. They provide a service for Penelope that nobody else does, and because of that, their existence should revolve around providing that service.

#Bridgerton #Eloise Bridgerton #Colin Bridgerton #kind of conflicted about tagging this anti Penelope because this is actually an interesting and sympathetic explanation for her actions #and if this was explored fairly I'd be on board with Penelope as a character again #anti Penelope fandom #Penelope Featherington
