hi i ride motorcycle year round and wanted to chime in. for vasco's small around-town trips he'd probably be fine with his ears free, but for longer trips at higher speeds or when its cold out he'd want them protected. probably by tucking them under his chin into the collar of a jacket and then putting a scarf or bandana on. also goggles would be helpful if a full helmet wasn't wanted. since they're in europe and around italy specifically he could have a nice ducati (fast rockety sport bikes) or a cafe racer (much more like a motorized bicycle but they can still have a lot of power) a cafe racer would offer a lot of seat space for machete to be thoroughly uncomfortable in lol
i love your ocs they're great thanks for all the cool art :)
I just got a recruitment offer for a job that I would be really good at. & one that actually is in the art museum field. and it seems really ideal, pay & location.
Like what? I just started officially job searching a week ago?
I came up with the idea for today's love fest over the weekend when I saw a lot of comments from people expressing sadness about the cancellation, and then also some embarrassment for feeling that way, or feeling alone in their emotions. I wanted to do something positive that felt personal and that would remind people that fandom isn't going anywhere.
Originally I thought to do it a few days after the WJW with DJenks, figuring we'd need another boost after that high wore off. Obviously the WJW didn't end up happening, but then I realized it was Rhys' birthday today, so that also felt like a great reason to spread a bit of love (not that you ever need a reason for that!).
And honestly, while the whole point was to make other people smile, the whole experience really boosted my own spirits tremendously. While stalking perusing everyone's blogs for inspo, I was reminded quite powerfully just how many extremely kind, talented, smart, funny, insightful, beautiful people there are in this fandom.
So I just want to say thank you. All of you who create gifs, make art, write fic, analyze the show, share shit posts, or reblog all of the above so we can see it again and again and again, you have made a difference in my fandom experience. With every post, you made me fall in love with Ed and Stede and the whole crew just a little bit more. Whether you're someone who's always in the tags or someone who prefers to quietly reblog, you have made my time here very special and I'm so grateful. 💕
That one dumb tweet has put this outfit that HE ONLY EVER APPEARS IN ONCE IN THE ENTIRE SHOW into the forefocus of my brain for like 3 days now so have this
I think a lot of people are feeling dissatisfied with the lack of PVP on Purgatory because Etoiles has (barely) been able to fight. The majority of people watching/participating actively assumed Green was a frontrunner purely because it has Etoiles in it, who 3 v 1'd the codes, so who could even compare in a PVP event?
Problem is, Purgatory Etoiles isn't treated the same as QSMP Etoiles. On the island, Etoiles had a purpose in fighting the codes. He was never a threat to his fellow islanders, and they knew him well enough to not be scared. Etoiles was playful and well-liked by everyone. But in Purgatory, where it's team v team and friends v friends, everyone is on edge and wary of Etoiles because he 3 v 1'd the codes. They cheered for him at the time, but they've also seen what he can do and what he could do to them.
In Purgatory, Etoiles is feeling a bit annoyed with everything. Suddenly, everyone on the island has forgotten that one of Etoiles' driving character traits is that he's honorable. Too honorable right now, maybe. He doesn't attack his friends in a blitz; he asks them to 1 v 1. He gives them armor and time to craft before a fight. He promises (and honors) his vow to not loot their bodies; he waits so they can get their stuff back. He is yearning for a fight, to participate in the one activity that he loves, something that he was admired for doing last week, but now no one is willing to engage with him. The day before Purgatory, he was asking to stick fight and teaching people how to improve their PVP, and now they assume he will attack them? Rather than blame his friends who don't want to fight, he sometimes blames himself for being too good with too much of a tryhard reputation to be worth the risk. He's snarky and dramatic and feels rejected by all the islanders who praised his accomplishments days ago.
Etoiles is basically a labrador who is desperate for someone to play fetch with. He needs stimulation - needs to be called upon for something. He's desperate to engage with others, but he's so lonely and dispirited and so ridiculously bored.
im confident that part of The Stobin Bond™ comes from them having impeccable chemistry which means they would've probably gotten along really well even before the whole Russian torture thing BUT Robin still had a pretty strong grudge against him from highschool so she just really really doesn't want to
so imagine: Steve and Robin working one of their firsts shifts at scoops together. During a small break between customers Steve gets her attention. makes unbroken eye contact. holds up one of their little spoons, and says "poon". then immediately breaking into a goofy ass smile. maybe even a giggle. and robin is trying so so so hard to look unaffected. annoyed, ideally.
then later that night while Steve's on break or maybe went home, shes waiting for the inevitable rush when the latest movie lets out. She wanders up to the register. sees the "poon" again. and laughs
spotify | john marston's revenge quest, set to music from 1960s spaghetti westerns.
Fun detail: the opening cutscene for Red Dead Revolver (2004) features an instrumental version of "His Name Is King". The lyrical version is oddly fitting for John, given that it's a song about seeking vengeance for a dead brother.
