For Neuvillette, being an ancient dragon in love with a mortal would mean when the time comes he would hold Wriothesley’s body in his arms, begging celestia to smite him, against his beliefs, whispering “take me with you”, quietly drowning his tears in rain.

Neuvillette is trapped in a cycle of increasing suffering: the more he dwells among humans, the more he learns about emotions, the closer he gets to others - the more it hurts to lose people again and again around himself with nothing he can do

Neuvillette would see a child, a little boy, all covered in scratches from playing a little too rough. It would bring a smile to his face, with a punch of pain in the chest. He knew reincarnation was possible for souls of strong will with potential for greatness taken from them. And just as he feels the clouds gather above him, he remembers a promise he made just before this child would be born to inherit that strong feisty soul: he would never cry for Wriothesley, he would keep skies clear in his memory. With that he turns around, to attend to another trial like hundreds before. He will not talk to the child, he will not bring the pain of the endless circle of his personal struggles upon him. No, this child has a life where it is up to him whether Neuvillette will be a part of it.

My first 15 hours in Death Stranding

#conscydraws #death stranding #sam porter bridges #illustration #artists on tumblr #video games #meme #when i went out today the weather was pretty much like that. worse even. #i came back in 10 minutes fully soaked #thought how nice it would be to have clothes alike Sam's #it's also fair to say that i'm slowly moving towards a personal artstyle #been playing with lasso and airbrush and found out that it's much more effective and quicker than anything i did prior #which means i will be able to make moar art! :)))) #about the illustration. i was keeping one particular location in mind from the first part of the map. there i died several times #although i depicted the stones not so accurately can you guess where it is? 😁 #i still haven't finished the game btw

you know, i can handle a little bit of fun "Nandor is dumb" talk, but i have a net-zero tolerance for any implication that Nandor is not educated.

Nandor would have been incredibly educated in his lifetime.

even (or especially) as a soldier in the Islamic World. being a soldier was more like getting sent to boarding school that's also a military camp. they weren't just concerned with creating loyal fodder for war. they were building the next government officials, generals, accountants, advisors, etc. it was important that young men knew how to read, write, speak multiple languages, learn philosophy...sometimes even studying art and music was mandatory.

if he was nobility (and its most likely he was), take all that shit and multiply it exponentially. Nandor would have been reading Plato at the same age most people are still potty training. he would have been specifically groomed in such a way to not be just a brilliant strategist and warrior, but also diplomate and ambassador of literally the center of scientific and cultural excellence of the age.

so like yeah, he can be a big dummy sometimes, sure. but that bitch is probably more educated than any of us will ever be.

#wwdits #nandor the relentless #Nandor #what we do in the shadows #i think its obvious by how much Nandor loves to read that he grew up educated #it's one of my favorite character traits of his #anyways #this was just your local psa abt the depth of Nandor's character and intelligence #and how the medieval islamic world was like - so much more advanced than it's western counterpart it's hilarious how ppl mischaracterize it #(by hilarious i mean it makes me want to break something) #this was in my drafts lolol what did i read that made me vent this? idk #also 'islamic world' is just a term some historians use to describe a specific geographical location and historical age #kind of how 'western world' is used today #it doesn't mean it's specific to one religion or nation but the broader time and location #meaning that Al Qolindar or Persia or Ilkhanate or w/e you want to call where Nandor came from #the same expectations of education and it's vibrant social/cultural world remain an accurate image of the middle east in the medieval age #if you come from the west like me #think The Forum + The Library of Alexandria + Paris/Florence + and idk anything else u think of when u think of 'Western Excellence' #and then imagine of all of that in one place at one time and then u might get close to what the world Nandor was living in as a human

Squishy Cybernetics

“Hello!” I said. “Where would you like this?” I waved an arm at the large pallet of boxes, bags, and miscellaneous other packaging. It was on one of our biggest hoversleds, and accompanied by some of the biggest crewmates.

The Waterwill at the loading gate burbled thoughtfully, sounding like a water jug given sentience. She extended what passed for an arm of her own and pointed indoors. “You’d better bring it all the way in. Over here.” She glided inward, moving in that mysterious way I’d never figured out. Someone shaped like a column of jello had no business scooting forward that quickly, no matter how much their lower end rippled against the floor.

But I didn’t have time for galaxy-gazing; I had to help steer the hoversled. Regulations said we needed someone on all four sides for a load this big, just in case of antigrav mishaps. Didn’t want it slamming into something breakable at this client’s facility — or slamming into anything at all, really, but this place was some sort of high-tech manufacturing plant, and I didn’t want to think about what kind of damage a crash could do.

No mishaps today, though. The Frillian twins paced along on either side, all muscles and tight clothes (they’d left the flowy silks behind today; a solid choice). I couldn’t see Zhee in the back, but I heard the quiet click of his bug feet. My own feet were silent in proper Earth shoes as I tugged the steering handle and followed the Waterwill.

I thought we’d just take the thing to the far side of the big loading dock, unload it in an out-of-the-way spot to be unpacked later. But the Waterwill kept going. We passed hovercars and wheeled carts, storage cabinets and bins, along with a baffling arrangement of pipes along one wall. Windows showed glimpses of the busy manufacturing facility. I had no idea what they were making. Maybe I’d get a better look on the way back out.

Oh hey, a human, I thought in surprise as I passed a bigger window. With a Strongarm on his back? What in the world are they making together? I was already moving past, and could only speculate about intricate manufacturing projects that needed hands and tentacles at the same time.

I was still wondering why the Strongarm hadn’t just pulled up a chair next to the human when the Waterwill signalled me to stop. “Stopping,” I announced for Zhee’s benefit. We all came to a halt, and nobody crashed into anything. Hallelujah.

“Here, please,” the Waterwill said. She stretched her arm out into a long tendril to pick up a scrap of something blue that had fallen on the floor, and pointed at an empty space near several foam-topped tables. “I’m needed out front. Heeme, can you oversee?”

“Sure thing,” said a voice from nowhere, then a Strongarm climbed out from under one of the tables. “Found the last of the broken bits, by the way.” Two of his tentacles were curled around pieces of the same blue stuff the Waterwill had picked up. The blue stood out against the dark red of his skin, but not as much as the four mismatched tentacles on other side did. They were a transparent blue-green much like the Waterwill’s own tendrils. I tried not to stare, and failed.

“Thank you,” the Waterwill said. “I’ll be back in a bit.” She set her broken piece of whatever on the nearest table, then scooted through a door that was apparently soundproofed, because a cacophony of whirs and whooshes filled the air until it closed.

“Right,” I said. “Over here, then.” I steered the hoversled into position, then we all worked together to guide the detachable gravity platform onto the ground. That part always made me nervous, since it looked like the giant pallet that could crush me was floating through the air with just a touch of technological magic to make it go. I understand other models of industrial-sized hoversleds have more mechanical-looking gravity platforms, or regular forklift arms. Ours was the glowy magic kind, and it deposited the giant stack of objects with all the precision of the best fairytale enchantment.

“Perfect,” said the Strongarm. “We’ll unpack it from here. Thanks.”

“Our pleasure,” I said.

Zhee, finally able to see over the hoversled, got a good look at who I was talking to. “Oh, I’m sure you’re fast at unpacking,” he said, pointing with his pincher arm. “Does that model form into blades?”

“Sure does!” the Strongarm said, holding up a see-through tentacle that instantly flattened into a shape like a steak knife. “Good for packaging, stubborn latches, and all manner of other things.”

“And stabbing!” Blop put in, to be immediately shushed by his sister.

“No stabbing on the job,” she told him.

The Strongarm laughed. “Yeah, just respectable tool use. They don’t give these out to anyone who’s going to do violence with them.”

I asked, “Is that Waterwill tech? I haven’t seen one before.”

“Yup.” He turned the knife back into a tentacle, then into a variety of other shapes. “One of the perks of working here, for sure. They’re cagey about sharing tech. This is the best prosthesis I’ve ever encountered.”

I thought of the hard metal-and-plastic replacement limbs that were standard on Earth. They would be wildly out of place on this guy’s squishy octopus body. And no amount of interchangeable attachments would be able to beat this kind of easy shapeshifting. I said, “That looks really useful.”

“It is!”

The loud door opened to admit a wall of sound, along with the human-and-Strongarm pair. Which I realized with a start was actually just a human wearing more transparent tentacles on his back.

“Here’s the new set,” he said to the Strongarm, placing a clear box on the table that was full of a stack of more flat blue things. They appeared to be cut into very specific shapes. I might have been curious about what they were for if not for the much more interesting thing to be curious about.

“Hello,” I said. “Does everyone who works here get extra limbs?”

The tan human grinned. “If they want ‘em! And they pass the screening, of course. But you’ve got to leave them here each day if they’re the bonus kind, as opposed to replacements.”

The Strongarm wiggled his tentacles in a taunting manner. “I can open packages and slice food so easily at home.”

The human made a face and wiggled the tentacles on his back. “Yeah yeah, we’re all jealous. Someday I’ll convince the bosses that there’s an actual market for these, and I’ll be the first in line to buy my own.”

“They think there isn’t?” I asked in shock. “Those look so useful! I can’t list the number of times I’ve wished for more hands. Using teeth and feet only goes so far.”

Zhee made a disparaging hiss. “You have that many fingers, and still want more? Greedy.”

“I’m just saying that re-weaving a cargo net would go much faster if I could hold all of the fibers at once,” I told him, then turned to the Frillians. “Back me up. Two arms just isn’t enough sometimes, right?”

Blip and Blop looked at each other and shrugged. “I guess?” Blip said. “But that’s just when it’s time to get another person to help.”

Zhee clicked a pincher. “Exactly so. Or approach the problem differently.”

The human told me, “I’ve had this conversation more than once. Apparently not all species grow up imagining what it’s like to have bird wings or monkey tails or whatnot.”

“Surely other people want to fly,” I said. The expressions around me were dishearteningly blank. “Surely!”

“I wouldn’t bet on it,” the human said. “See why I couldn’t convince the bosses?”

“But even on a practicality standpoint!” I exclaimed. “They have you using them here; why wouldn’t they think you’d want to use them at home?”

He shrugged, moving the tentacles in a graceful wave as he did. “Alien brains. I’ve given up trying to fully understand.”

The Strongarm spoke up. “If there are actually a large number of humans who would buy these, then it couldn’t hurt to put together a request from outside sources. The bosses don’t listen to random employees who are probably biased, but they might take an interest in actual buyers.”

I shook my head slowly. “Our courier ship isn’t going to be that kind of buyer, especially not at the scale they’d probably need.”

“What about big human ships?” Blip asked. “We could suggest it to the next one we meet.”

“Or human colonies,” Blop said. “Or large groups at space stations.”

Zhee said, “I heard Captain Sunlight talking about a delivery to Basal Station soon. There are plenty of humans there. You could suggest it to them, if you think this is really that widespread an interest.”

“It couldn’t hurt,” I said, thinking. There was indeed a significant human population on that space station, which might even include the crew I’d met from the droid jousting ship Hold My Beer. They were definitely the type to appreciate some extra arms. Both for working on finicky electronics and general slapfight shenanigans.

“Here, we should have something with the contact information,” said the Strongarm. “Jon, is there a notepad over there?”

“Yeah, got it.” The human leaned over a table and used his tentacles to lift a stack of books so he could pull out the small notepad at the bottom. That may have been showing off. “Here you go!” He handed it to me with his regular hand.

“Thanks,” I said. “I’ll see if I can find the right ears to whisper into.”

“Best of luck!” he said. “My partner has asked me no less than half a dozen times if I could sneak my set home to play around with, but I’m not gonna risk the job.”

I laughed, hoping I wasn’t blushing. “Oh man, I wasn’t even going to mention the bedroom applications.”

Of course Zhee had to ask, tilting his head with faceted eyes shining. “The what?”

“Remember how most humans find tentacles a little creepy?” I asked him, pocketing the notepad.

“I recall. It makes this insistence all the stranger.”

“Well, some humans aren’t creeped out at all. Kind of the opposite. They like them a lot. In a, uh, private fashion.”

Jon the human spelled it out for him. “Mating rituals.”

Zhee’s antennae did a complicated dance, then settled in something that looked like disgust. “I was about to ask why, but I’ve decided I don’t want to know.”

“Yeah, best not to,” I agreed. “Anyway! Very useful extra arms. Good for a wide variety of activities. Other humans will likely be interested.”

“Very likely,” Jon agreed.

I activated the hovercart with a nod, and we said our goodbyes. The employees wished me luck. They returned to work while we headed back toward our ship.

Zhee grumbled disparaging things about my species the whole way, but that was nothing new.

PS: the story with the good ship Hold My Beer is here, if you're wondering about that. It's fun.

I was thinking about built in cameras for the Mechs and here’s what I came up with:

I think there’s only three Mechs that it makes sense to consider (not including Aurora because she is a ship); Brian, Ivy, and Tim.

Brian has mechanical eyes, which could function similarly to a camera, and he has a mechanical brain, so his brain can store the photos, like modern cameras and computers do.

Ivy has organic eyes and a mechanical brain. At first I thought this might pose an issue, but she already has functional interfacing between her eyes and brain that allow her to see in the first place, so I don’t think there would be one. She could take pictures and store them (she has plenty of memory!), her eyes are just like yours and mine, so she would be more limited in the quality of her photos. Although I think this means that if she has floaters or visual snow or the like, those would appear in her photos (when she’s experiencing them). If that were the case, she could take photos of hallucinations, which would be interesting. Also be way easier to tell if she needs glasses. And she wouldn’t have the issue you get when taking a photo at 1x zoom from your perspective, but it looks zoomed out a bit.

Tim has mechanical eyes and an organic brain, which does pose an issue. He also obviously has functional interfacing between the two, but he doesn’t have the storage like Ivy and Brian. His eyes could well function like cameras, and there’s no reason he shouldn’t be able to just take a photo by thought, since his brain already controls his eyes. So I propose that Tim has a slot for a memory card, to store his photos. But I don’t think he can look back at the photos without removing the card and looking through them on a computer, since his brain, while technically a computer, is made of meat and does not function like a mechanical computer. So it’s like taking photos with film; well except he can look at them on the computer, but the point is that in the moment he can’t look back and see if the photo is good or if he needs to try again.

Tl;dr: Brian could function like fancy a modern digital camera, Ivy like a digital camera with limited zoom and focus, and Tim like a fancy (as in has great zoom, focus, etc) film camera.

On a related note, I don’t like the idea of someone being able to take photos or video of me without my knowledge, especially blantently, right in front of me. Make each of them have a shutter noise and a small red light or something, just so others know.

#the mechanisms #drumbot brian #ivy alexandria #gunpowder tim #brain gang #well half of it. sorry ts. and yeah aurora is a ship she probably has normal cameras #this post brought to you by the nature photos i took earlier today #yall i saw so many different kinds of mushrooms all in the same place #i sadly didn’t get any mycology in my botany courses. but there were around 15 differents kinds of mushrooms in the same location!

Sometimes I think I'm a very normal and well-adjusted person, but then my local grocery store rearranges literally every single aisle, and I want to curl up in a ball on the floor

#true story #the reason i like my local store is because i have the location of pretty much every item memorized #which makes for easy shopping #but when i walked in today NOTHING was where it usually was #bread was moved to the paper towel aisle. applesauce was shifted three or so aisles down. the potato chips? no idea where those were. #madness i tell you!!!

okay i don't know if it means anything but to me it doesn't feel like a coincidence that the attack today happened when just bagi pac and fit (3/4 of the current rebellion members) were on ? because like, that attack was goddamn brutal in comparison to the rest of them and it just so happens to be the ONLY one (so far) that the code shows up for ? you know, the code that is tied DIRECTLY to the rebellion ?

#qsmp #q!bagi #q!fitmc #q!pactw #idk like #it just happened to be one of the very few days tubbo DOESN'T log in #and on an eggza day after he logged out #it could just be coincidence #and yesterday fit phil and ramon did run into the third mission location that they've been putting off for like a month #+ ramon was originally not going to wake up today but did anyways and likely only survived due to fit teleporting to the wrong location and #and also richas is USUALLY on when one if his parents is on #idk might be going crazy but it definitely felt targeted at the rebellion members #plus the code showed up AFTER empanada died #fitmc tag #pactw tag #bagi tag #ramon tag #empanada tag

Hey y'all! Another work tip for you: If you are on the phone with the person who is your point of contact at a business and you want to swear about them after the call, make sure you hang up BEFORE you start swearing. Like. Double check you actually hung up This work tip brought to you by the contractor who thought he'd hung up but didn't and the incredibly awkward silence after he started swearing when I said "Are you aware you haven't hung up yet?"

#the person behind the yarn #tj talks about work #he called me all kinds of colorful names #because when I emailed him 'I'm sorry I can't assign you to that job for today it requires 24 hours notice' #and he replied 'I understand ty' #he somehow took that email to mean he could start today????? #like dude. no. I specifically told you you can't #the thing that you need to do to do the job is not at the location it needs to be #because we have not given the 24 hour notice #I told you IN WRITING that you can't #and then you tried to tell me on the phone that I said you can pick it up today???? #as if I forgot ???? or as if I can't just look at the email again? #I know what I wrote man I have it in writing that's kind of how it works
