Field Guide to encounters with The Glow, Part One: Type 1 infected, AKA Growlers.

Growlers are intensely aggressive, so much so that they are just as violent towards other infected as anything else that moves. While blind, the Growlers are equipped with keen hearing and smell, and can locate a potential meal from far distances. Constantly on the hunt, these unfortunate beasts' diet of choice ultimately leaves them unsatisfied and starving. Stage 3 Type 1 infected usually die within weeks, but some have survived up to two months.

To Distract a Growler: Find some way to create noise in the opposite direction that you are located. Make sure it is loud, and lasts long enough for you to run. Flying is a viable method of escape if you possess wings, as stage 2 and 3 Growlers are incapable of flight. Stage 2 due to the weakening of their flight muscles- and stage 3 due to the loss of feathers.

How to avoid detection: Mask your scent. Try to remain as neutral-smelling as possible. This can be hard to do, but do your best and you will avoid being sniffed out by a late stage Growler. Avoiding detection by a stage 2 is simply a matter of staying out of sight and keeping noise to a whisper. Additionally, avoid making noise when near a stage 3 Growler. If you cannot be detected through smell, your best bet with a stage 3 is to hold completely still, breath slowly (quietly), and wait for them to leave line of sight- then you can make a run for it. Stage 3 Growlers are strong but slow-moving. Outrunning them in a large enough space is possible.

Special Notes: Growlers at stage 3 cannot be reasoned with and have the minds of starving, cornered predators. However, due to stage 2 Growlers being still rather cognizant, you can communicate with them- it is recommended to do so with some form of barrier however, due to their overwhelming instinct to bite and infect everything they see. When things were still relatively stable and infected were being appropriately contained, Princess Twilight Sparkle had frequent verbal contact with multiple stage 2 Growlers in her care. They were reluctantly polite, expressing a clear desire to attack the princess, but understood their situation well enough to be compliant at the time. All these stage 2s eventually progressed into stage 3, and were either put down, escaped, or kept for further study.

my feeds for the last day for some reason: -filled with multiple cases of people just casually shitting on my industry and our hard work again like usual-

me: something save me

in my youtube sub box, like a beacon of light:

POV: You’re Gabriel and it’s 3am Hell time and you can hear vague and distant groans and thumps from your little cage but you know what it is and you roll your eyes and resign yourself to getting up because the dumbass holding you captive has gotten addicted to your grace like it’s crack cocaine but keeps insisting he’s “fine” and that he “can stop whenever he wants” so he’s left you alone for the vast majority of the day to prove a point which was nice while it lasted by now he’s got the worst hangover of his life coming down from the grace and he’s sweating and shaking and gross and this is your view when he rips the cage bars open-



not to like be squidposting on main again but why the fuck do they dress like that

oh boy. iii May have a problem. i have recently hit 350 hours of celeste gameplay. That is not normal . i have a disease and it is called the autism+adhd combo attack.

Sentinel after retiring from the Magnus position:

Slowly but surely, my hands ARE unsyncing on the accordion! I started with just playing the 1st and 5th on the right hand, which meant that though the two hands were moving on the same beats, the right hand didn’t ALWAYS move when the left hand did* -- also, they didn’t necessarily move in the same direction. I’m fairly comfortable with this now, and I’m trying to move on to melodies, which before I could not do at ALL. Now, I can play (somewhat accurately) play melodies with the right hand, as long as the beats perfectly subdivide into 2 with the accompaniment lol. So if I’m doing quarter notes with left hand, I can do a melody consisting of eight notes through whole notes, but a dotted eight is, as of yet, beyond my capabilities

*for those who don’t know how an accordion is set up (presumably most of you?) -- some columns of buttons on the left hand side are single notes, and some are chords, and each row is a 5th higher than the one below. so let’s say you want to play the tonic, chord, 5th, chord progression that’s the classic accordion sound for D minor, you (and by “you”, I mean “I”, it’s possible other people do it differently?) place one finger on the D button, one on the A button (which is directly above the D button), and one on the D minor button, which is in the same row as the D button. Did that make any sense lol? The point is that when I’m only playing 1st and 5th on the right hand, they hit the keys at the same time as the left hand hits the 1st and 5th, but they stay still when the left hand is hitting the chord button. When I started playing, even this was tricky for me! Not sure why this was so much more difficult than, say, piano, with which I never had this problem -- though to be honest, I feel like it might just be an age thing rather than any particular quality of the instrument. It might just be much harder to unsync once you age out of some critical period. Though there’s also the fact that with accordion you’re pulling it side to side, which is an extra factor -- at the beginning, I struggled to unsync my wrist from the fingers of the same hand lol. i feel like this is an extremely unclear explanation for anyone who isn’t already pretty familiar with the set-up of an accordion, the point is i’m making progress and i’m pleased with that :)

gosh,,,,,,, raphael

so i've been developing a trucy gavin au and then i went "what if i make it a borrower au?"

I'm just going to sit here and be amazed at the fact that you can spend nearly twelve hours making a case of morality being complicated; that actions rarely have only good or only evil consequences; that magnanimous actions can be done for selfish reasons; that people can have selfless and selfish motivations at once; that you can develop an individual morality while social ethics remain at the corner of your eye to define yourself in line or in opposite to them;

and end up with an audience nodding and smiling patiently, waiting for the simple solution to get pulled out of your hat like a very tired rabbit.

ONE MORE presentation tomorrow and i’m done with finals and then i only have one more semester of miserable fucking grad school left in my life i can’t wait to be free oh so free!!!!!!!

also the lexapro is finally wearing off after like a week. which is kind of crazy because usually it happens like 2 days in. and the brain zaps are driving me insane.
