Jocks on a walk  🏃🏃‍♀️🚶‍♂️

i know it’s like years old at this point but i love that one collab mumbo and grian did with tommyinnit bc it’s like the single most concentrated example i’ve seen of mumbo’s Chaos Nullification Powers

you get to see a bit of it on hermitcraft, mostly via his interactions with grian, but until seeing that collab it didn’t really hit me just how completely mumbo can no-sell other people’s attempts to control a situation. tommyinnit is possibly the single shoutiest, most chaotic minecraft youtuber out there, and in most videos i’ve seen he pretty much overwhelms everyone else and sets the tone for interactions because of this. but mumbo just. doesn’t let him. no matter how much tommy escalates in intensity, mumbo reacts with *exactly* the same energy he always does. grian largely comes across in the whole video as annoyed and reluctant to engage with the whole thing, but mumbo’s not even affected. he just rolls with anything he finds funny and basically ignores anything he disapproves of, only seeming more and more unflappable the harder anyone tries to get a rise out of him.

AND imo, this is the key to my favorite interpretation of him as a character

see, when the people around him are being more reasonable/calm, i think mumbo often comes across as anxious and a bit easily overwhelmed. the thing is, his nervous wet cat vibes do not scale. he has one setting. his responses to the last life ‘ah-ha!’ jokes and to hermitcraft 8 starting to crumble to pieces under a falling moon are almost identical.

mumbo jumbo is inexorably and eternally Just Some Guy, but that gets stranger and stranger the weirder his surroundings become. the giggly incredulousness that makes him an easy target for goofy puns looks Very different when it’s also his reaction to the impending end of the world.

reposting an old angie/lady comic from my twt

every squad got the:

s/i who’s literally you

s/i who’s you but better

s/i who’s you but so, so much worse

Sonia and Komaeda getting along well enough to room together is so good honestly. Even if its mostly bc she takes no shit, Komaeda was still like the only person to stand up for her when Teruteru was trying to get frisky about her naiveté in the prologue/ch1.

I kind of suspect she was acting more unknowing than she really was then, to suit her role as a princess, but he had no way of knowing that then. Plus, if she was aware then, it might be easier for her to recognize the side of him that isn't all hope n murder? Since outside of the killing game he's pretty polite (if self effacing) and generally not down for creepy behavior.

If you've got any more thoughts on these two's interactions postgame, I'd love to hear.

I dont think it's perfect by any means (nothing on the ship is!) but its proooobably the best quick-solution scenario?

Extremely important question: what color was Pirlouit's other hoof bandage? Green? Plaid? Matching orange?? Non-matching orange???

Silver! We're halfway between Halloween and Christmas hence the orange and silver colour scheme. Well that wasn't the motivation but it sounds plausible.

Here's a photo from when I was re-bandaging both hooves. It wasn't as neat as when the farrier did it, but Pirlouit was fidgeting a lot and I did my best...

And here he is with the terrifying basin of water. I thought with some patience he would end up becoming interested in the delicious hay I'd brought him and overcoming his enormous distrust of the New Object but no. At no point did he come closer to it of his own free will, even when I warned him that I was taking photos of him for public shaming purposes.

The thing about watching the show and then spending the next four years of your life writing Zukka fics is that eventually you come back and realize you’d forgotten Fire Lord Zuko and his loving husband were traipsing about that whole time within, like. The Eye of Sauron.

is that anti-pigeon wiring on the edges.

A certain first encounter

the jericho crew are so goofy with their little group huddles when deciding whether to help androids they encounter on their missions or leave them to their fate. Imagine being Simon at Stratford Tower and suddenly youre on the outside of The Huddle 😱

i realised i had to share these at some point or other!!! uh! coliseum-inspired drawings :) ... (mostly my take on scar . hes everything to me)

Gabriel wants to be happy too.

He saves his brother and kills him twice.

So, i have been thinking about this idea that @schnuffel-danny came up with a while ago about Vlad that when he happens to go through a ¨PTSD moment¨ he regresses to his old ghost form from around the time that he first transformed into a ghost after the ghost portal accident.

This is inspired by that concept and some from the phic ¨Shattered Identity¨, that what if when Vlad reverses to this old form he also ¨forgets¨ a good chunk of memories from the last 20+ years? In result when Vlad is in this form acts like he would before he went full villain and he doesn't remember things like meeting Danny nor Danielle.

So while he is in this form...let's call it ¨Hollow¨, for the sake of it, Vlad is angsty and full of anxiety but he is rather chill too. He is nice to Danny and Danielle because he feels lonely and he enjoys their company. He acts like an older brother to them since he believes that he is 20 years old and so. The relationship he has with them as ¨Hollow¨ is different from the one he has when he is as ¨Plasmius¨.

Vlad is also able to remember some of the stuff that happens when he goes back to being Plasmius. These memories are more often than not rather blurry and fuzzy though.

Read a very long scaremongering post about internet culture and the loss of community and it ended with "do you even know the names of your neighbours?" ...as if that was a big gotcha?

Like yeah I do, on one side is Stuart and Rena who are expecting their second grandchild very soon, and on the other side is Mark and his new missus Tracey and his son Ben (who is moving out soon). We send each other Christmas cards and compliment each other's Christmas and Halloween decorations. We bring each other's bins in.

If you want community with your neighbours you just have to accept that it's going to be a little awkward at first and push through the discomfort to make the barest of efforts.

I was definitely glad we already knew each other on the day I woke up at 7am to realise our gas hob had been leaking overnight and the house was full of gas. Mark next door saw the fire engine pull up, came out to see what was going on, and brought us into his house for a cuppa while we waited for the all clear.

Idk I'm just sick of people acting all doom and gloom about things that they absolutely have the ability to change 🤷🏻‍♀️

"Incoming !!! :D"

She'd rather not have to punch him in the balls but he's leaving her no other choice
