possibly a controversial opinion and absolutely not trying to take a shot at anyone who disagrees, but I think having portraits show up for comms at the end of a dungeon/raid is a terrible feature. great in theory but terrible in actuality. I don't care about my comm count (and couldn't tell you what it is) but it was always nice to get some in instances where I knew I'd done a kick ass job supporting the team (as a healer or rdm usually). it was people saying thank you

I'm a really average player but there's some content I know very well and can help other players in. I love helping people and it's just a good feeling when you get thanked after. like hey, I was useful! I made a contribution!

that vanished completely when portraits came out (I've done roulettes almost every day for the last 8 months due to leveling all the jobs and just enjoying it, so it was really really easy for me to track the change...there were a few exceptions but overall it was like night and day from before). (and yes, people could obviously see your glam before but having it directly in the comm ui is different)

I got a trickle back when I put some effort into making fun portraits (something I personally don't enjoy doing but felt obligated to do), but I don't play a cute cat boy or a lady with big boobs (two things I've actually seen people online say tempt them into giving comms) and my portraits are definitely not as fancy as a lot of people's and more than that it just feels like that shouldn't matter

so yeah, not a fan. actually turned them off for myself the first time they popped up because it just felt strange. leave them at the start and take them out at the end would be my best solution since, like I said, really neat idea in theory and I think people should be proud of their cool glams and show them off. but it also really sucks to be in what feels a lot like a beauty pageant

#I play on crystal and I expect that does not help even a little bit lolol #no hate to anyone who likes it #just my person experience has been really sad?#like I started really noticing when I was healing alliance raids a bunch after they added portraits #and I'd do ones where I was carrying the team and working my ass off #I used to get 4-5 comms from those types of situations #I was getting zero #consistently #I thought it was a coincidence at first but it persisted #I went and spent a little bit of time making a vaguely interesting portrait #that was mostly a animated cool weapon effect up in the camera #INSTANTLY started getting some again #flipped it on and off and yeah #I think playing a male au ra isn't doing me any favors either #would be fascinating to see statistics on this #would be uhh interesting to see how things like...say...character skin color and comm rate related...yah know #but I did go and poke around online and found people talking about which glam things they'd give comms for #and how to set your portrait up for maximum comms #I wish there was a better way to do this #ffxivmp #mp #also sucks more because my portraits break every ten seconds because having linked plates doesn't play nice with it #like it is really total dogshit how badly that part is broken #change to a job with a linked plate outside of a sanctuary? congrats you're fucked even if the glam is correct and matches #good chance the portrait menu won't display it as needing an update either and you'll have to force update it #great work team 0/10 #my general criteria for comming is 1) someone did awesome 2) a sprout who is clearly new and trying their best #3) someone was really helpful in chat or did a dorito 4) the default healer/tank and dps/dps courtesy comm #oh and 5) it's not even that the healer was awesome it's just that I sucked and they had to pick my dumb ass up a lot 😔

I moved recently to start a new job and part of my commute now involves one of those high capacity toll booths where a two lane road suddenly flares out into 5-7 lanes of total anarchy with no lines anywhere, and then narrows back down to two lanes again, and we're just supposed to sort ourselves out? Who designed this

anyway I dreamed up this helpful anatomical guide on the drive home

#thought of flipping it upside down for it to read correctly but then it didn't feel like the driver pov #oh also yeah aside from generally pulling back from online spaces for the most part I've started a FAST-PACED full-time job #after on and off contract/part time work since 2020 #I am WIPED #all the time #exhausted #I'm told I will adjust and I am trusting these people but holy shit I'm capital B Bushed #you will not see me frequently anymore but do not mourn for me #I am adjusting to my new fish tank...#I will be thriving #by the time I turn 30 next year I will be able to hit my 30s at a run #I'm feeling it mr krabs

Bernard is the one who handles the spiders. Tim can handle many things, but spiders is not one of them

He can’t handle them *well.*

He, of course, protests this statement. C4 and swords stolen from his brother are perfectly acceptable solutions, Bernard

#tim drake #bernard dowd #I’m totally picturing a Bernard that doesn’t yet know their identities #he just sees Tim show up with a sword in one hand and c4 in the other #where’d you get that? he asks #Tim: I borrowed it from damian and Jason #Bernard:#Bernard: yeah okay #Tim accidentally mentions something about the council of spiders #Bernard: I don’t think spiders have a council #oh just you wait Bernie boy #Tim’s going to give your little conspiracy theory heart everything it could ever desire #now I want bernard to find out pretty much everything especially the league of assassins and Ra’s al ghul #but then come to the absolutely wrong-est conclusions possible #Ra’s would have a conniption #Tim would think it was hilarious #Bruce would ask Tim to please stop antagonizing the league of assassins #Tim would flip him off but Bruce put in his token protest so he’s done his duty #Jason would volunteer his services in the continuing antagonizatikn efforts #Steph would be watching all of this with popcorn #sorry I got way off track #I too do not care for spiders and feel like explosions are a valid strategy

Tried imitating those cool portrait poster thingies with my two faves to celebrate my one hundred hours of having played the game. More doodles of lesser quality under the cut.

I just. I like them both so much. They are so sick and twisted, with such messed up implications in the lore, and they're also just silly little guys... :-)

#team fortress 2 #tf2 #miss pauling #miss pauling tf2 #dell conagher #engineer tf2 #i definitely have same-face syndrome. and same-body syndrome. and a *bad* comfort zone when it comes to drawing women. working on it though #yes i want to hold hands with both of them sue me for having fucking taste!! i guess my *real* type is just Stressed People.#you can see me flip-flop between heavy referencing and going off of memory and just doing whatever i want <3 #blood #blood tw #blood cw #because of pauling's bloody nose yeah.

I dunno, and I haven't read the Ascendency novels to be clear, so I can’t speak of who he was before his exile - but maybe Thrawn accepting Grand Admiral for that shitshow on Batonn sealed his fate. Maybe he wasn't the one to pull the trigger, maybe he was appalled by the needless death - he still took the promotion, even if he didn't want it. The moment he took the rank plate was the moment the blood on his hands became insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The moment where all his intentions begin to be buried by his actions.

Everyone is all about how Thrawn isn't that bad of a guy - and honestly I do agree that his character is misunderstood more often than not - but he still did terrible things with the Empire. Turned a blind eye and condoned much more with silence.

Because the fall of Nightswan and Batonn may not have been his fault - but he accepted the stain when he took his promotion.

For all you try to keep things fair, it doesn't matter if you're working in a system that is instituted to be cruel. And while Thrawn had never claimed to be a good man, and had only joined ultimately for the protection of his own people, there's something to be said of this deterioration of morality. How he doesn't understand politics, but is still shaped by the dangerous and vindictive workings of Imperial political scene, forgoing honesty for station.

Pirates and smugglers turn to insurgents and rebels. Capture turns to execute. He kills to prove a point.

He develops for the worse. For all he shapes the Imperial Navy, it shapes him all the same. I dunno. Complex character and all o that. He’s no scum of the earth true evil, but he’s no shining star either.

#I have not watched rebels I have not read the ascendency novels yet I am in the middle of alliances right now #so bear with me. baby’s first analysis #*flips off sky* for Arihnda Pryce and her hand in all of this (who’s truly to blame for Batonn)#like listen. he’s a bad guy! but he’s not a bad guy #like yeah. my man is almost court martialed for when he saves innocents over imperial resources #but also he climbs the rank by doing good for the empire. like that’s a net negative #true he may hold loyalty to his people and not the empire. but it’s not about loyalty it’s about morality #you can commit treason to the empire and still not have been a good guy. yknow #i dunno. Thrawn is better than he could be but worse than apologists say I guess is the point.#and maybe there’s something to be said about how this happens once Eli Vanto leaves. his one true friend. i think that’s significant #I’m just thinking ok #like. a good imperial is still an imperial!!!! that’s all #ahsoka better do this motherfucker justice I swear to god #Thrawn #thrawn trilogy #grand admiral thrawn #Star Wars rebels #sw #Star Wars #z speaks

Ok so we’re all in agreement that post canon when everything’s chill Jeong Jeong and Piandao are living their best cottagecore-but-mansion lives, and we all love the ‘Aang tells JJ about the Sun Warriors and Piandao convinces him to go see it for himself (cuz he def doesn’t believe it)’ idea BUT might I now suggest:

what if he spends longer there than Aang/Zuko/Iroh did to learn more and finds out that they have healers too. Fire Healing is a technique that exists similar to the more known Water Healing, but it’s existence got buried as one of the many secrets of Firebending forgotten with the Warriors themselves. What I’m saying is Jeong Jeong returns and spends years practicing (still terrified of burning someone who’s already hurt) and exchanging letters with both the healers he met and Yugoda until he’s mastered it, eventually becoming the Fire Nation’s first known Bending-Healer. And then perhaps at Iroh or Zuko’s suggestion he teaches it to (a stable to the point where she wants to better herself but can’t figure out how) Azula. Healing with fire is more difficult then with water and as a new art is still a rare skill by Korra’s time, but Jeong Jeong and Azula learning it and teaching it to others is how we eventually get this: (perhaps zuko has it become an essential technique for Fire Sages to learn?)

(Disclaimer I haven’t seen tlok yet so idk what else happens in this scene other then a woman using fire to figure out what’s wrong with korra)

So yes this whole post is just about the two Firebenders we never got healing arcs for becoming their nation’s first healers and both learning the essential truth that fire is more than death and destruction or rage and suffering <3

#so yeah here’s my headcanon for what happens with both Azula and Jeong Jeong postcanon #enjoy #atla #Jeong Jeong #Azula #avatar the last airbender #atla headcanons #fire healing #pianjeong #this idea came about when I was thinking of that gif and had the thought of #a few years down the line or later #the gaang or at least sokka are visiting zuko when someone tries to assassinate him #they both fend it off but sokka takes a hit meant for zuko #falls unconscious and when he wakes up the first thing he sees is princess-fucking-azula kneeling over him #and moving bright white flames over his body #and our man doesn’t even think about how his leg suddenly hurts a whole lot less (like as if Katara was there)#and immediately flips the fuck out when she smirks at him jokingly #cuz he was kinda out of the know about what was going on with Zuko’s Crazy Sister or That Crazy Firebender Guy Who Called Him an Oaf #But Lives With Master Piandao For Some Reason #(the reason is gay)#avatar: the last airbender #gifs #tbh I obv agreed that Azula deserved some sort of redemption but I couldn’t see a way it could happen that I liked. until I thought of this

my contribution to the can Neil tie his shoes or does he use Velcro shoes conversation is that he's a Crocs bitch "but he was on the run Crocs would be entirely impractical." sports mode.

#world's most useless post but I just remembered this time I was hanging out with my little brother #and we were outside and I was like you wanna race #and he was like yeah and he ran two steps then stopped to flip the band on his Crocs back‚ saying wait I need sports mode #before running off #and that's giving Neil to me #aftg #neil josten #someone remind me to delete this #mine aftg
