Hey remember how I said the cast of EF4 rather than the much more suitable cast of EF2 has been rotating in the microwave of my brain? Well, here's some art I got from @cyellolemon of two of those unauthorized fucking blorbos!

On the left we've got Sayaka. A high school student with a little bit of a temper and a whole lot of passion. She stands up for her friends and for what she believes in! Not that standing up does much, given she's very short and probably up on a cardboard box in this picture. Has a meddlesome streak that she's very bad at covering up with lies about how not meddling would become inconvenient for her. She's also very easy to fluster and has a bit of a complex over whether she's actually a good person or not, mainly fueled by the fact that she has another personality who is an active-duty yakuza princess, but that's neither here nor there.

On the right, here's Goro. You know it and you love it, the weird freak boy archetype. This one even gets to be canonically transgender unlike all those predecessors who dwell in headcanon. This one's an overworked idol who decided to incorporate his eternal exhaustion into his image, launching his solo career away from a shitty talent manager. He's got a terrible personality, but manages to get along with others anyway because he has good intentions. He's very clever, just not very genuine- He can solve a problem for you without ever letting on that he's trying to help. The kind of dude who will recount suffering atrocities you could never even imagine, while grinning and kicking his feet.

As you can maybe infer from what I've said about each of them and meddling... Yeah, as a duo, they're prone to stuff like "solving the 7 mysteries of the school and somehow managing to foist all the credit on a third party". But hey, it'll give the journalism club a boost in membership, and taking the credit themselves would be a huge pain.

#entropic float #ef4: Origin Magic #<- working title lol #WELL IT COULD BE WORKING HARDER- #sayaka shinozaki #goro bakura #cyellolemon #thank you again for this lovely comm! Well worth the lil splurge for a treat like this #my ocs

also i'm watching a stormchasing video on the tornado that hit rolling fork mississippi like two weeks ago and like. this shit happened when it was pitch black outside. you can literally only see the tornado when the lightning from the storm illuminates it. they are so lucky it didn't change direction and get their asses

#it was an ef4 bro........i will be the first to say i'd do stupid shit just to see one up close but the key word here is SEE.......

Okay, folks, tonight is gonna be looking pretty scary out there. They just updated the torcon to a 9 out of 10 in some areas, including from Little Rock Arkansas to Memphis Tennessee stretching down almost to Greenville along with a second bullseye spot up towards Cedar Rapids stretching to St Louis. What that means is, these areas in particular are highly likely to not only have tornadoes, but possibly strong, long lived ones. And even if you aren't in these specific zones, there's a large area of a 7 out of ten

Credit to the weather channel for this one, got it from their Twitter. That's how serious this one is, y'all. Anyone in the path or anyone you know who is in the path, stay safe, be weather aware, and be ready to make a run to wherever your safe spot is from storms.

#weather reports #(seriously this one's a big one) #(and after some of the weather we had last week with an EF4 tearing apart two towns...) #(please be careful out there)

THEY BUMPED THE IOWA ONE UP TO “NUMEROUS TORNADOES EXPECTED” GOOD BYE

[adammilligan]

me spending way too much time researching tornado outbreaks in minnesota all for the purpose of giving adam some backstory in this fic i’m writing in what little free time i have is just proof that i am so so normal about him. i am not insane

#i think what we have maybe all forgotten is that minnesota is very much still a midwestern state. with all the tornadoes that come with that #from what i've been able to gather because i may be just a little insane and i've been looking through minnesota's recorded history of #tornadoes. there have been none that touched down in windom from 1990-2009 #HOWEVER. the comfrey-st. peter tornado outbreak (which led to fourteen tornadoes touching down) did happen in comfrey which is like #only half an hour away from windom #and from the radar images of the supercell that caused it i've been able to scrounge up there WERE parts of the storm that went over windom #there just wasn't a vortex that touched down there. #and considering how red and yellow the part that was passing over windom was there is no doubt in my mind it was still a bit of hell #sorryyyyyy i've been fascinated by meteorology since i was little and i am always dying to give adam some backstory and this is #a perfect way i can combine the two. though you always have to be careful when addressing that sort of thing in fictional scenarios because #people's homes WERE destroyed and at least two lives were lost yknow. it was still a very real thing that happened #but i would be researching this sort of thing even if my stupid fanfic wasn't the reason behind it. the tornado that touched down in comfrey #was an f4/ef4. like it was Powerful. #from an anniversary video i watched about it that had some of the survivors speaking one woman mentioned that the radio cut out #halfway through the broadcast because the antenna had fallen #which is just terrifying to think about let alone experience #ghghghgbhb anyway. i am so normal guys i promise #azure rambles

We got through the storms yesterday, just so we can deal with a state-wide marginal risk on Tuesday.

I feel like this doesn’t bode well for the rest of Spring and Summer.

#to be fair yesterday could have been worse #the last time conditions were like that we had an EF3 and EF4 hit the state #the EF3 missed my grandma’s house by two blocks #so yeah I had a lot of anxiety yesterday #I hate tornado season more than anything

This remains one of the most powerful tornadoes I've ever seen.

you know what we need around here? less praising of donal's mat *at the expense of* barney's mat (and vice versa, though i haven't seen too much of that) and more acknowledgement that they BOTH did/are doing a great job and we're lucky to have/to have had BOTH of them!

i keep seeing stuff like "donal's mat feels so much more like book!mat, he's so much more lighthearted and likable, he feels like an inherently good person who just makes stupid decisions whereas barney's mat felt like an inherently selfish person" which is so unfair to say because 85% of barney's screentime was dagger-influenced mat. he never had the chance to play a more lighthearted version of mat! and judging by the snippets of Lighthearted, Selfless, Hero-Who-Doesn't-Think-He's-A-Hero Mat we got in the first two episodes (think of him charging weaponless into battle to save his sisters!!!!), i'm sure he would've done a great job, just as i'm sure donal would've done a great job with a darker dagger-influenced mat.

i totally get it's a natural instinct to compare and contrast the two portrayals, but personally i find them both equally great and feel an emotional cohesion between the two! at their core, barney's mat and donal's mat absolutely feel like the same person to me. in my opinion the difference in s1 vs. s2 mat is less because of the actor and more because of the fact that the character spent most of one season influenced by magical evil and most of the other being himself.

#i'm thrilled that everyone is embracing donal so wholeheartedly but you can do so without doing barney dirty! #it's also interesting bc when s1 was airing i remember everyone singing mat's praises #and saying he was the most complex & emotionally interesting of the ef4 #but now revisionist history is making it out like no one liked him during s1 #wot #mat cauthon #the wheel of time

*slaps my own body* this bad boy can for so much goddamn storm trauma in it

hello T-Waggzner, i was wondering if the EF4 tornado that hit Tusculoosa + the other various tornadoes that absolutely ravaged alabama in 2011 interrupted or affected the filming of marble hornets at all

Yes, Entry 40

Hey guys! In case you weren't aware, Arkansas was hit by a massive tornado today (3-31-2023). This included areas of Little Rock, Stuttgart, and Wynne.

A picture of the damage to the Wynne high school:

Guys this thing was fucking massive (a 3 on the Enhanced Fujita scale as of 4-2-23, with the possibility of being bumped up an EF4), and it's done so much damage here. One of the news stations, KATV, has partnered with the Red Cross to accept donations for disaster relief. Please consider donating if you can, and if you can't, spread it the link around.

In the interest of full disclosure, it's worth noting that this is nowhere near where I live, and my family was not affected by it. I'm just trying to help out my fellow Arkansans.

Please note that the Red Cross is not a religious organization.

Link for donations

If you show me a receipt or proof of donation, I'll write you something even.

Update I: Added some more pics of the damage + the tornado itself

Update II: NLR electric says that some people could go a week without power (x)

Update III: Here's some information on Red Cross cards and how to use them (x)

Update IV: The storm carried a street sign thirteen miles before dropping it. (x)

Update V: Footage taken from inside the tornado. CW blood. Do not attempt this. Everyone involved survived and nobody was hurt too badly. (x)

Update VI: Added more pictures and text to the post itself, as well as this link to the news broadcast from the day in question. (x)

Update VII:

WE DID IT GUYS

Holy shit everyone thank you so much! I honestly cannot explain how much I appreciate you guys sharing and donating. This means so much to me. If you guys could continue sharing this around (and donating if you can), I'd appreciate it--there are still people who need help. I'll keep reblogging this for the next few days for good measure though.
