❌ Ned Fulmer was fired for cheating

✔️ Ned Fulmer was fired for tarnishing his own brand, and becoming a liability to the company.

#hannah.txt #try guys #ned fulmer #try guys drama #it wasnt the cheating itself that got ned fired #he got fired for having a workplace relationship with a subordinate #which opens the company up to lawsuits about favoritism and unfair treatment #ibr this is what you get for monetizing your relationships #do yall really think ned would be facing this much backlash if he hadn't based his entire persona around being The Wife Guy(tm) #i mean he'd still get some hate for sure but this man literally built his whole brand around loving his wife #like literally worshipping the ground she walked on #only to be caught cheating on said wife. not a good look my dude #i have no sympathy for ned and alex they both suck

Penny stardewvalley makes me so sad because she's SO sensitive to, like, basically everything you tell her (telling her that you can't stand children while two children are nearby is a pretty lousy move but -1500 friendship?? being a jerk to other characters' faces typically loses you about 50 points, and if you choose the option labeled "creepy" and ask Leah for a kiss in her 2 heart event she physically hits you and kicks you out of her house but that's only -100 friendship…) and so if you want to befriend her it's a whole lot of lying and tiptoeing around her feelings (2 hearts: George was right but saying that makes her feel bad. 6 hearts: her food sucks but even if you try to be polite about it she feels like a failure; only a bald-faced lie pleases her. 8 hearts: saying you don't want to be tied down with a family loses you a little bit of friendship and she's only happy if you say you want kids) and I can't help but think she's a product of her environment. She lives in a trailer with only her mother, who gets drunk every night and has something of a temper. Penny's like a skittish rescue animal who won’t even come out from hiding under something unless you leave her lots of treats

#stardew valley #penny sdv #I didn't mention the SECOND opportunity to lose 1500 friendship with her #because I think if you go out of your way to date her and then tell her that you don't like her that way then you deserve it #but yeah she's super volatile #i was upset for a little bit after reading that one post saying the ‘right’ answer in the 2 heart event is ableist #like nooooo not my favorite farming game :( #except that in the context of several other things in the game it becomes clear that winning someone over #does not always mean doing the right thing #looking directly at how the easiest way to befriend shane and pam is by enabling their alcoholism #which is framed as a harmful thing even if the characters themselves like it #you have to lie to befriend other characters too like with sam dropping his egg #and you can lose a little friendship based on preferences like sebastian asking about what books you like #though to be fair if i saw someone who could potentially be cool and i found out that what they like was stuff im not into id also #lose interest a little #anyway those are all examples spread around on different characters #penny's got it all at once #me post

I’m gonna have to accept my brain may always be soup at this point. But it beats feeling tortured all the time?

Anyway, pointless tattoo plotting. For myself. I don’t think it’s wise to consider what is basically an upper arm sleeve for my first, but it’s fantasy land if it’s just in the sketchbook and honestly? Anything to kick at the art block.

It’s all birds: blue Jay and Baltimore oriole, with fresh spring green ash leaves and an autumnal red oak. And maybe a hexagon in there somewhere, I can’t sort that out.

Anyway, this would encapsulate a lot of my favorite things in one go. All that’s missing is bugs! And a loon and pines, but that’s going on the other arm!

Maybe it’s futile to say this, but this humble scribble is for my use only.

#sketchbook #birds #wings #blue Jay #Baltimore oriole #favorite colors seasons trees etc all checked! #I had some wholesome moments with my parents when we went looking for orioles around my birthday this year #we found several so I’m giving them more positive associations #also they’re orange and beautiful what’s not to love? #green ash as a sad tribute to an icon I’ve resonated with since I was very young #red oak because blue jays and your stereotypical symbol of strength and perseverance #always loved the intelligence and beauty of blue jays I think they may have been my spark bird at a very young age #a messy sketch but it’s better than a whole lot of nothing #y’all I don’t even know where to begin with which bugs and where! #im getting ahead of myself #as usual!

i think it's so cute that sokka made/got toph a little dark green cape for the day of black sun that matches her helmet. it's just fabric, so it's not like it serves as any protective armor. toph herself doesn't even knows that it matches. he just wanted her outfit to cohere.

#which is adorable #id in alt text #toph #sokka&toph #katara also likes fashion so it could be her who got/made her this little cape #but i think it's sokka just because toph is sokka's favorite (and vice versa) #not to mention he made appa's armor and generally was in charge of planning the invasion #plus if katara tried to tell toph what to wear toph would straight up refuse #whereas if sokka gave it to her she'd think of it as a gift and wear it without question #see: her space bracelet #sokka: toph if you don’t wear your little earthbender cape my invasion plan will look so stupid. you must wear the cape

Hello ranger’s apprentice fandom can we talk real quick about the stupidest thing Flanagan ever wrote

It’s about the bows. Yanno, the rangers’ Iconique™️ main weapon. That one. You know the one.

Flanagan. Flanagan why are your rangers using longbows.

“uh well recurve arrows drop faster” BUT DO THEY. FLANAGAN. DO THEY.

the answer is no they don’t. Compared to a MODERN, COMPOUND (aka cheating) bow, yes, but compared to a longbow? Y’know, what the rangers use in canon? Yeah no a recurve actually has a FLATTER trajectory. It drops LATER.

This from an article comparing the two:

“Both a longbow and a recurve bow, when equipped with the right arrow and broadhead combination, are capable of taking down big game animals. Afterall, hunters have been doing it for centuries with both types of bows.

However, generally speaking and all things equal, a recurve bow will offer more arrow speed, creating a flatter flight trajectory and retain more kinetic energy at impact.

The archers draw length, along with the weight of the arrow also affect speed and kinetic energy. However, the curved design of the limbs on a recurve adds to its output of force.”

It doesn’t actually mention ANY distance in range! And this is from a resource for bow hunting, which, presumably, WOULD CARE ABOUT THAT SORT OF THING!

Okay so that’s just. That’s just the first thing.

The MAIN thing is that even accounting for “hur dur recurves drop faster” LONGBOWS ARE STILL THE STUPID OPTION.

Longbows, particularly and especially ENGLISH longbows, are—as their name suggests—very long. English longbows in particular are often as tall or taller than their wielder even while strung, but especially when unstrung. An unstrung longbow is a very long and expensive stick, one that will GLADLY entangle itself in nearby trees, other people’s clothes, and any doorway you’re passing through.

And yes, there are shorter longbows, but at that point if you’re shortening your longbow, just get a goddamn recurve. And Flanagan makes a point to compare his rangers’ bows to the Very Long English Longbow.

Oh, do you know how the Very Long English Longbow was mostly historically militarily used? BY ON-FOOT ARCHER UNITS. Do you know what they’re TERRIBLE for? MOUNTED ARCHERY.

Trust me. Go look up right now “mounted archery longbow.” You’ll find MAYBE one or two pictures of some guy on a horse struggling with a big stick; mostly you will actually see either mounted archers with RECURVES, or comparisons of Roman longbow archers to Mongolian horse archers (which are neat, can’t lie, I love comparing archery styles like that).

Anyway. Why are longbows terrible for mounted archery? Because they’re so damn long. Think about it: imagine you’re on a horse. You’re straddling a beast that can think for itself and moves at your command, but ultimately independently of you; if you’re both well-trained enough, you’re barely paying attention to your horse except to give it commands. And you have a bow in your hands. If your target is close enough to you that you know, from years of shooting experience, you will need to actually angle your bow down to hit it because of your equine height advantage, guess what? If you have a longbow, YOU CAN’T! YOUR HORSE IS IN THE WAY BECAUSE YOUR BOW IS TOO LONG! Worse, it’s probably going to get in the general area of your horse’s shoulder or legs, aka moving parts, which WILL injure your horse AND your bow and leave you fresh out of both a getaway vehicle and a ranged weapon. It’s stupid. Don’t do it.

A recurve, on the other hand, is short. It was literally made for horse archers. You have SO much range of motion with a recurve on horseback; and if you’re REALLY good, you know how to give yourself even more, with techniques like Jamarkee, a Turkish technique where you LITERALLY CAN AIM BACKWARDS.

For your viewing enjoyment, Serena Lynn of Texas demonstrating Jamarkee:

Yes, that’s real! This type of draw style is INCREDIBLY versatile: you can shoot backwards on horseback, straight down from a parapet or sally port without exposing yourself as a target, or from low to the ground to keep stealthy without banging your bow against the ground. And, while I’m sure you could attempt it with a longbow, I wouldn’t recommend it: a recurve’s smaller size makes it far more maneuverable up and over your head to actually get it into position for a Jamarkee shot.

A recurve just makes so much more SENSE. It’s not a baby bow! It’s not the longbow’s lesser cousin! It’s a COMPLETELY different instrument made to be used in a completely different context! For the rangers of Araluen, who put soooo much stock in being stealthy and their strong bonds with their horses, a recurve is the perfect fit! It’s small and easily transportable, it’s more maneuverable in combat and especially on horseback, it offers more power than a longbow of the same draw weight—really, truly, the only advantage in this case that a longbow has over the recurve is that longbows are quicker and easier to make. But we KNOW the rangers don’t care about that, their KNIVES use a forging technique (folding) that takes several times as long as standard Araluen forging practices at the time!

Okay.

Okay I think I’m done. For now.

#to be VERY clear. I Am Not An Actual Expert. #i AM however drawing from my own experience and research #and literally i can find Zero literature about recurve arrow flights dropping faster than longbows #all i could find was that recurve range is worse compared to compound bows #which. OBVIOUSLY. compound bows CHEAT. #(said lovingly. ish. if you use a compound more power to you but also It’s Doing All The Work For You.) #this article was literally all i could find from a couple hours’ search comparing recurves and longbows #anyway recurves are cool. flanagan why did you do recurves so dirty. #for that matter why are all your women blonde. #(i’m not including brotherband here sorry) #(but also why did it take a spinoff series for him to create a named female character that wasn’t a blonde) #(flanagan explain) #god these books have so many problems. truly this is my ‘i could fix him’ #thank you flanagan for getting me into this special interest. now Tell Me Why You Did It Wrong. #rangers apprentice #anyway if you REALLY want to read about some bangin historical horse archers #look up the parthians :) #specifically how they fucking Decimated an entire roman contingent :) #crassus getting absolutely demolished by mounted archer parthians is definitely my favorite bit of roman trivia

IASIP is definitely my favorite media right now but it straight up stresses me out to watch sometimes. I'm like "this FX situational comedy is too nervewracking for me right now I need to watch something soothing like Breaking Bad instead"

#(I legit have a high tolerance for like actual disturbing media (which I would not consider BRBA to qualify for either lol) it's just like.. #idk..something about it..) #A couple weeks ago I got high and watched all of s16 and it was like scaring me. It was making my high go bad #It was like oh my god this is so stressful. Just look at the background dog photo. Focus on your favorite background dog photo #Look at the doggy . Look at the dog. #iasip

The billboard said “the end is near.”

Another comic ahhh! I had thought that the last one was gonna be it for a while and then someone sent an edit of Rogue One to I Know the End by Phoebe Bridgers and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. So I made another comic! This song is the perfect encapsulation of what makes Rogue One such a good movie, I’d say. Hope you enjoy this :))

#katan art #Star Wars #rogue one #for anyone who looks at tags lmk which page is your favorite :)) #mine is the ‘a haunted house with a picket fence’ one! #anyways shoutout to Ivy for sending that edit that inspired this I will never stop thinking about it

Yeah so. You should go read @silverskye13's fic about Tanguish and Helsknight and experience my suffering. /pos

#this is my favorite fic at the moment i'm nuts for it #was working on client projects this afternoon and just hit a creative wall #so I decided to do something that's Just For My Enjoyment and not for a client #helsknight #tanguish my beloved #redstone and skulk #anyway please go read redstone and skulk it's so freaking good #Skye I changed your blurb some from what you put in your answer i hope this is okay #oh fun fact: the aesthetic for this was inspired by the 2017 cover of Megan Whalen Turner's ''The Thief'' #which actually has similar vibes to this fic so if you're looking for more to read: solid 10/10 rec #redwinterarts

okay do you guys think edgeworth would listen to fnaf music. because i think he would listen to fnaf music.

it probably wouldn't be intentional though. like he's shuffling a house music playlist and spotify reccommends him you can't hide or something and he's like "hmmm. this artist is particularly intruiging let me check out their discography" and then he goes down a rabbit hole and suddenly he has a playlist full of fnaf music and he doesn't even know what fnaf IS.

and one day he's hanging out with maya he puts on the playlist and she goes "oh! i didn't know you liked fnaf edgeworth!" and he says "what is this fnaf you speak of" and shes just like "😶😶‍🌫️. WHAT" and then she gives him a two hour presentation on fnaf lore and makes him play the games etc etc thank you for coming to my ted talk 👍

#ace attorney #imagining edgeworth and fnaf is one of my favorite pastimes #this is also based in my headcanon that he listens to techno/rap #which is practically canon anyways (takumi says he listens to old korean techno/disco) #like come on look at the guy. he watches steel samurai and drives a red sports car. #youre telling me he doesnt listen to german house music while driving down the autobahn??? #be so fr. #miles edgeworth #mitsurugi reiji #gyakuten saiban #ace attorney headcanon #dolotalks #this would be a great fic premise actually. sighs. #fnaf #aa headcanons #maya fey

The concept art of Hiccup’s dragon armor really went for that “half a dragon” feel, didn’t they?

Honestly though, it’s so cool.

It’s what we deserved
