Yes I know the brand is actually “Waldo Burger” but the counter in the background of his boss room reminds me of a diner.
I wanted to try drawing him as if he were in an old ad.
#have a nice death#waldo HaND#Haven’t done cell shading in a long time 0-0#Art#digital art#Back at it again at the Waldo diner#Maybe it could have been a diner and then shifted to more of a drive through type of restaurant as management changed#Hm maybe I’m reading into it too much 👁👁

I first heard about The Story of an African Farm (1883) by the South African writer Olive Schreiner in Vera Brittain’s memoir of the Great War, Testament of Youth. She and her fiancé, Roland Leighton were intensely interested in it, but its contents weren’t discussed, so I was curious to read it. Olive Schreiner wrote this debut novel when she was only in her 20s. The Story of an African Farm is set on an isolated farm in the South African veld. It is a coming of age story of the three children who live there, the two girls Em and Lyndall and Waldo, the farm manager’s son. Schreiner’s views are told mostly through Waldo and Lyndall as we follow their development and difficult quests. The novel is unconventional. Besides the traditional narrative sections it has the unusual features of an exposition (Times and Seasons) and an allegory as well as a lengthy letter. She describes Waldo’s spiritual journey from unquestioned religious belief to skepticism and apostasy and the replacement of the religious void with knowledge and an appreciation for the beauty and order of Nature. Olive Schreiner was raised by devout Christian missionaries but lost her religious faith after the death of her beloved 17 month old sister Ellie. Schreiner also raises the issue of gender inequality through Lyndall: the limitations on women’s education and their subservient roles in society, and she describes Lyndall’s desperate struggle for autonomy. I wasn’t surprised to learn that Olive Schreiner loved George Eliot‘s the Mill on the Floss and that she identified with Maggie Tulliver. Her views were quite progressive and controversial for her time, and the book was met with both wide appeal and opposition. I can imagine how it must have resonated with Vera Brittain’s own agnosticism and feminism. It’s a philosophical work that courageously challenges both the form of the Victorian novel and restrictive Victorian social conventions.
Memorable excerpts (among many):
“We must have awakened sooner or later. The imagination cannot always triumph over reality, the desire over truth…Now we have no God. We have had two: The old God that our fathers handed down to us, that we hated, and never liked; the new one that we made for ourselves, that we loved; but now he has flitted away from us, and we see what he was made of – the shadow of our highest ideal, crowned and enthroned.”
“But we, wretched unbelievers, we bear our own burdens; we must say, I myself did it, I. Not God, not Satan; I myself!”
I came across a reference to Olive Schreiner in a review of Lyndall Gordon’s biographical work, Outsiders: Five Women Writers Who Changed the World. I haven’t read it, but it sounded interesting, and I have provided the link:
The edition I read is from the Limited Editions Club. The cover material is Ugandan bark cloth, Isak Dinesen provides the introduction, and it is illustrated by Paul Hogarth. I have also seen editions from Oxford World’s Classics, Penguin, Virago, and Modern Library.
Memorable excerpts :
It is a terrible, hateful ending, said the little teller of the story, leaning forward on her folded arms; and the worst is, it is true. I have noticed, added the child very deliberately, that it is only the made up stories that end nicely; the true ones all end so.
They did not understand the discourse (the charlatan’s false sermon), which made it the more affecting. There hung over it that inscrutable charm which hovers for ever for the human intellect over the incomprehensible and shadowy.
To the old German the story it was no story. Its events were as real and as important to himself as the matters of his own life. He could not go away without knowing whether the wicked Earl relented, and whether the Baron married Emelina.
Times and Seasons is a very important chapter that outlines the course of one’s experiences with religious faith (if one is willing to think for oneself): belief, questioning, skepticism, disbelief, and finally the replacement of religion with knowledge and an appreciation of the beauty and order of Nature. Some excerpts from this chapter follow:
Is it good of God to make hell? Was it kind of Him to let no one be forgiven unless Jesus Christ died?
Is it right there should be a chosen people? To Him, who is father to all, should not all be dear?
We must have awakened sooner or later. The imagination cannot always triumph over reality, the desire over truth…Now we have no God. We have had two: The old God that our fathers handed down to us, that we hated, and never liked; the new one that we made for ourselves, that we loved; but now he has flitted away from us, and we see what he was made of – the shadow of our highest ideal, crowned and enthroned. Now we have no God...
We do not cry and weep; we sit down with cold eyes and look at the world. We are not miserable. Why should we be? We eat and drink, and sleep all night; but the dead are not colder.
And we add, growing a little colder yet, ‘There is no justice. The ox dies in the yoke beneath its master’s whip; it turns its anguish-filled eyes on the sunlight, but there is no sign of recompense to be made it. The black man is shot like a dog, and it goes well with the shooter. The innocent are accused, and the accuser triumphs. If you will take the trouble to scratch the surface anywhere, you will see under the skin a sentient being writhing in impotent anguish.’ And we say further, and our heart is as the heart of the dead for coldness, ‘There is no order’: all things are driven about by a blind chance.’. p117
What a soul drinks in with its mothers milk will not leave it in a day. From earliest hour we have been taught that the thought of the heart, the shaping of the rain-cloud, the amount of wool that grows on a sheep‘s back, the length of a drought, and the growing of the corn depend on nothing that moves immutable, at the heart of all things; but on the changeable will of a changeable being, whom our prayers can alter. To us, from the beginning, nature has been but a poor plastic thing, to be toyed with this way or that, as man happens to please his deity or not; to go to church or not; to say his prayers right or not; to travel on a Sunday or not. Was it possible for us in an instant to see Nature as she is – the flowing vestment of unchanging reality? When a soul breaks free from the arms of a superstition, bits of the claws and talons break themselves off in him. It is not the work of a day to squeeze them out...
Whether a man believes in a human-like God or no is a small thing. Whether he looks into the mental and physical world and sees no relation between cause and effect, no order, but a blind chance sporting, this is the mightiest fact that can be recorded in any spiritual existence. p118
Following this, the appreciation of the acquisition of knowledge and Nature’s own beauty and order fills the void of religion. pp119-121
We have never once been taught by word or act to distinguish between religion and the moral laws on which it has artfully fastened its self, and from which it has sucked it’s vitality.
But we, wretched unbelievers, we bear our own burdens; we must say, I myself did it, I. Not God, not Satan; I myself!
The secret of success is concentration; wherever there has been a great life, or a great work, that has gone before. Taste everything a little, look at everything a little; but live for one thing. Anything is possible to a man who knows his end and moves straight for it, and for it alone.

A Comprehensive List of Potential Chapter Titles Provided by Me
Thought up at 11 PM. For funsies. This list will be much safer in terms of thematic material (refer to this post and this post). Rated T for swearing, references to (mild) drugs, alcohol.
Are the vast majority of these memes and references? Yes, yes they are. (Bonus points if you can identify where they come from!) But it’s less about creativity than comedic value. So... take this as you will.

What do you think of nightshade? I saw you post about it sometimes but I don’t know if someone already asked u🥲🥲
nightshade’s great! i don’t usually gravitate towards otome w a sengoku setting or a samurai/shinobi premise but im also a sucker for bad ends where it’s just completely pyrrhic with emotionally significant deaths. the plot beats can get repetitive since it’s just one big chase in every route but each boy brings enough flair that i can’t complain too much
that being said… hanzo is my best boy and favorite route in any otome ever. he is legitimately such a wonderful character that i would marry him for real. the writing is cohesive, tight, and enju (mc) has the best development with him out of all the others. i’d rate the game top tier based on him alone. as for the others:
kuroyuki: LOVE this yandere lite creep. enju though had the least agency in this one so big boo on that but that’s usually the case with routes of kuroyuki’s archetype so i wasn’t that let down. his constant remarks about how they’re meant for each other and how they nursed from the same breasts is off putting but honestly adds to the whole vibe so 👌
gekkamaru: obsessive, dedicated guys are top notch and i like how kuroyuki and gekkamaru kinda dip in the unhinged in different spectrums as it also adds a nice layer in their sibling relationship. i would have greatly enjoyed this more if not for a (spoiler) plot twist at the end that robs gekka’s agency and renders his motivations kind of flat
goemon: fun guy and definitely a needed levity in the bevy of tragedy and angst. a bit double sided in that regard as he gives less of a memorable impression than the others as he’s more a baby’s first route or lighthearted palate cleanser in between the more plot heavy or tragic ones
chojiro: the where’s waldo cousin love interest that everyone makes fun of for being absent for a huge chunk of his own route. i really didn’t find appeal in him as a love interest tbh but i found his arc the most tragic and compelling. chojiro had a sense of duty and loyalty that was not as much of a point of conflict in gekka and kuroyuki who had little qualms in fighting their former friends for enju’s sake. chojiro is tormented and he and enju really make you feel it. that’s good shit
hanzo: my love my light my life. everything about his route is pitch perfect. the stakes, the individual character growths, the romance, the climax, the ending!!!! hanzo’s character design, his stoic but fair temperament, his va!!! i can go on for days. shameless plug i wrote 10k smut about him and enju so if you wanna check that out… 👀
anyway great game. good side characters who make you feel emotionally invested enough to feel grief if they died. i don’t think i appreciated the lore as much the first time through although some of the villains’ motivations made me balk for a sec to ask if this whole nonsense was all that productive but it was believable enough i guess where i just shrugged it off in order to enjoy the rest of the game.

I had a REALLY busy day, the town where my mom lives has Halloween activities and I went to 4 in 2 days (one friday and three Saturday).
Today first there was this 'trick or treat downtown' then something else about cars then a thing at a Christian High school (I saw a baby cow) AND I got to see my stepbrother for the first time in about a year.
Some honorable mentions (costumes) that I saw: Nezuko, Tanjiro, Pennywise, a fucking furry, about 10 Waldo's, a baby dressed up as Montgomery Gator, a couple being SpongeBob and Patrick, Nahida, sans and, my stepdad dressing up as a Bears fan (I was Hatsune Miku)
Under the cut I'm reviewing some movies, they will include some major and minor spoilers and have mentions of death
I watched The Devil by M. Night Shamylan (idk how to spell it), overall a solid 6/10. It was boring at first, I got reminded of some book I read in 6th grade for some reason. R.I.P those random ass people from the elevator +that one electrician and the dumbass security guard. And there was a Mexican stereotype that pissed my grandparents off (The stereotype was that they are overly religious and stuff).
I also watched The Grudge (2004) by the same guy who made The Ring (that movie where the girl crawls out of the TV), overall a 7/10. Mostly just stupid white people dying because they just didn't run away, also there is a suicide in the first 3mins of the movie (which did prompt a joke from me, and it is now a inside joke). If I'm correct about 8 people die during the film (including the mc and her husband/fiance/bf idk). There were some parts I jumped and got scared, which I found surprising.
Uhhhhh, if you read all of this then, Have a nice day/night!

Rick and morty season 2 episode 13
This episode boasted a pretty impressive list of guest voice actors, though nothing can top Keith David as Reverse Giraffe. The Where's Waldo sequence was an apt illustration of just how wacky and out of control the situation had become. Refrigerator, Reverse Giraffe, Amish Cyborg.
It was pretty hilarious watching the Smith household fill up with one oddball character after another - Pencilvester, Photography Raptor, Hamurai, Mrs. The subtext being, I suppose, that clip shows and lazy cutaway humor are literally the death of comedy. The very act of flashing back put the Smith family in ever greater danger. Each sequence spawned a new wave of parasites taking increasingly odd forms. But the best thing about the premise was that each cutaway mattered. Not that the flashbacks weren't entertaining in their own right, especially Summer's dream sequence/dance number and Rick's barbecue. Done wrong, this episode could have devolved into a simplistic Family Guy parody, with characters setting up random flashbacks and cutaways with no real impact on the plot. Poopy Butthole was inserted into the title sequence was nice touch. Poopy Butthole that the threat of these parasites is greater than even Rick can handle. Who is this guy? Why have we never seen him before? We very shortly learned the answers to those questions, while also realizing thanks to the suspicious debut of Mr. The introduction of Uncle Steve left the viewer slightly confused on on their guard. The opening scene was a great way of setting the stage for the week's conflict. The characters never even left the house, as they were forced to figure out who among the increasingly large cast of characters was real and who was a memory-implanting parasite. The plot also became a sort of sci-fi locked room mystery. For once, the whole Smith family was involved in one overarching conflict, rather than Beth and Jerry doing their own thing while Rick, Morty and Summer explore the cosmos. Several elements immediately set this episode apart. It made for a wild romp of an episode, even if the payoff didn't quite live up to the build-up. This being Rick and Morty, it goes without saying that the premise was taken in a much more bizarre and outlandish direction. Much like the Community Season 2 episode "Paradigms of Human Memory," "Total Rickall" is a faux-clip show episode featuring clips and flashbacks viewers have never actually seen before. However, this episode created a stronger link between the two shows. Community and Rick and Morty don't have much in common beyond the fact that they're both comedies co-created by Dan Harmon.

I was wondering, don't you feel it's stupid how Fleche wants revenge against Dimitri for Randolph's death when it was Billy who killed the guy?
Well...
I guess this played in the "even evil people have loved ones" trope, but I thought it was tactless.
First of all, as you pointed out, Billy is the one who kills Randolph. Yes, Dimitri said mean and cruel things to him, but Billy killed Randolph.
Second... If this scene was supposed to show the pointlessness of war, then why take Randolph out of anyone?
The guy was a general, from a subjugation force, trying to "retake" what he previously stole in a mere battle to show Edel how awesome he was :
A wonderful chance to earn some recognition! I'll be the one to take down the monastery!
During the first GM battle, guy was happily going to "take down" Fodlan's biggest orphanage/asylum not because teh manifesto said so - not because he really really believed ladies with scales ought to be turned in nice looking boots, but because he wanted some "recognition".
At least when Caspar is Leeroy Jenkins'ing it's because he has a sense of "JUSTICE" and rushes to kill Emile, the guy who kidnapped young girls at night, which ultimately led to their deaths (and no, I don't consider a clown using her victim's identity and corpse to be a good thing).
Randolph? Seems to go Leeroy Jenkins for personal "GLORY", so he isn't even tied to the Dorias brand of "Honour and Glory". And why?
My mother married into House Bergliez after I was born, so my position within the family is rather lowly...
But I'm determined to make something of myself in this battle to bring glory to my part of the family, for the sake of my mother and sister!
What kind of convoluted reasoning is this? Randolph fights "FOR GLORY" because muh-ritocracy means he has to show how much muhrit he has, so his solution is to... attack Fodlan's orphanage, to bring "GLORY" to his family - like there is no other way to climb the ladder? Or are we supposed to believe muhritocracy only works when one has to be fielded as a soldier/general ?
During the Post TS fight?
Randolph mounts an attack to "recover" Garreg Mach from... the Knights of Seiros, who returned home. It paints a bleak picture, like imagine going back home, and some douche wants to expel you using weapons, after having successfully done so for the first time.
The Knights of Seiros are a powerful enemy, but we have more soldiers. We'll take them down all at once!
"Kill them all, I won't let them go home"
Then, GM's defenders use a tactic with fire, to defend said home.
Argh, a fire attack... The damage is too great. We can't fight anymore!
All units, retreat! I'll take on our pursuers! Carry away the injured soldiers!
Randolph pulls, apparently, a Bergliez Sr, and stays behind to buy time, to let people evacuate - why, almost like a certain lady with scales who is kept in a dungeon and used to live here before the Empire took her away
But then everything goes to the toilet :
A total loss... But we can't just return home like this...
Watch out, Professor! They're coming for you!
Muh-ritocracy or not, Randolph thinks returning home without having managed to retake GM, but having prevented more casualties, won't do.
So instead of trying to buy time, like before, he goes for Billy's head "FOR GLORY".
And fails.
Battle time with Randolph and we see how... out of touch he is, almost like a certain someone :
A one-eyed demon... So, it's you. You're the one who's been going around killing the Imperial troops!
You bastard! Life is worthless to you, isn't it?!
"uwu the evil demon is killing our subjugation troops in Faerghus they just wanted to conquer and capture randoms to give them to Cornelia or send them to Arundel's factory how evil he is he murders women :( "
So it's true. You don't value human life at all. Isn't that right, Immaculate One?
"I might have started the war and complain every Sunday about blood pooling at my foot, and I promise I will deal with Uncle later but Waldo and Baldi are still useful, but you don't value human life at all!"
When Dimitri's talking to him, and makes several points, the thing is still, something the game really really wants to omit - Randolph is an Imperial General. He is on the "people who instigated" the war's side. Yes, Dimitri killed imperial soldiers, but he did so to protect his homeland (and supposedly himself) from being invaded.
It's the same thing with the owner of a house shooting a burglar, yes he killed someone and he has to answer for this, but are we really comparing the house owner, who defended his home/himself - to the burglar who came with a knife and asked him to politely get the fuck away to let him pillage everything and occupy his home and if he didn't want to then he'd better die?
Randolph is also, unknowingly (since he doesn't know he is talking to Dimitri) pushing all of the former Prince's buttons :
I have family waiting for me... Please. I can't die here...
Dimitri had an uncle who died recently, by the Empire's acolytes. Hell, his father, and mother (from what he knows) were killed for the Emperor's sake.
As though you could understand...such a thing as love... You heartless monster!
He does understand, better than anyone else actually. It's not like his totally friendly partner Dedue gave his life to save him, again, from the Empire. Or how his model Glenn still haunts him, because Dimitri loves him too much and cannot cope with his passing. Nope :)
This...this is war. I did what I had to for the Empire...for the people...for my family!
Attacking Garreg Mach twice? Wanting to get rid of the Knights of Seiros who wanted to return home, how is this supposed to be for the Empire, "teh people" or his family??
"I wanted to slaughter orphans so the Supreme Leader would see how awesome I am and give me and my family scrapes to return to GLORY"
And of course, the courageous and glorious excuse of "this is war". No Jan, you can't start the war and suddenly murder everyone justifying your actions by external circumstances you created. It doesn't work this way.
Dimitri doesn't go "If this war then so be it" but Eirika would, and Eirika is a peace loving Lord who tries to see the Best in people, but faced with Novala-Randolph's logic, she's pretty quick to call BS.
Is Fleche calling Dimitri a monster justified by what he did to his brother?
Dimitri killed people and thinks he is a monster, so to him, she is, but to us?
We know he didn't kill Randolph, and we know Randolph was one of those "monsters" who attacked people for "GLORY", trying to beg for his life pretending "tis is war" - when he is an Imperial General and part of a subjugation force.
Sorry for Fleche, but, in the end, it seems she never realised her own Brother was the monster she thought Dimitri was.
****
Bonus Gilbert's sass for no reason
So many units, and you still can't defeat us... The Empire's generals are not as formidable as I'd heard.
The old man is savage
#anon#replies#FE16#like wow i don't have any good things to say about randolph#at least Amalda had the courage to confess in her death quote how she has hands covered with blood#even if she didn't fight for GLORY but truly believed Oldvis's ideals#Eirikia would have beheaded Randolph Novala style#you can't use the excuse of this is war i do what i want even eating babies and then complain your baby can't be eaten#especially if you are the ones who started this effing war!#blogging as a mooner#if dimitri killed a random and said random sis tried to kill him it'd have more impact#but not the general who wanted GLORY i mean come on#since when killing Kempf is supposed to make us feel like Leif is a bad guy?#sorry anon this turned in a randolph sucks post
