Fortune Amidst Misfortune (more lore)
From nearly the beginning, Fortune Amidst Misfortune held little interest for solving the Great Problem. Soon after his creation, his interest was caught by the biological behaviors of his parents' species, the Ancients, which quickly expanded to the biological mechanisms of all natural species. He kept only just enough of his processes dedicated to the Great Problem to keep his creators satisfied, and when they faded out of existence, he wasted no time reclaiming his processing power back from the useless simulations.
Fortune dislikes social interactions with both the Ancients and other iterators. He can appreciate the social behavior from a distance, but being forced into one-on-one interactions make him incredibly uncomfortable and tense. His small local group were quick to realize this, except for one: Thirteen Thoughts of Lights Above (redesign pending).
Thirteen Thoughts of Lights Above is especially oblivious, but well meaning. She is considerably more "mechanized" than the other iterators, and has difficulty with social cues. She only ever reaches out to communicate to her neighbors with good reason, but she tries her robotic best to be short yet polite about it. Fortune is more tolerant of her then he is with the rest of the local group.
(Insert here a few dozen cycles of sparking interest in yellow lizards specifically. Fortune raises a handful of these genetically altered lizards, training them as best as he could while in his stock bipedal puppet. Fortune did manage to figure out a way to disconnect and reconnect himself with his umbilical, but his experience while detached was so horrible that he only did it a couple times and never again. And then the antenna-less yellow was born, and the pack project was discontinued.)
And so when Fortune Amidst Misfortune could no longer emotionally nor physically handle being stuck in his stock puppet (with its thin, too fragile build), he eventually had to turn to Thirteen for help. He has only basic knowledge of engineering, and something as advanced as building a new compatible, maneuverable, and sturdy puppet is out of his capabilities. Thirteen was happy to lend her knowledge and be of assistance. Besides for her, Fortune kept his puppet-revamp hush hush (at least until later on, when investigating overseers spill the secret).
Nowadays, he mostly spends his time researching the wildlife up close and getting assaulted in return. His can, settled into the side of a cliff above a biologically diverse hotspot, has two wings dedicated to holding subjects of study (mostly genetic experiments fueled by curiosity, with the occasional pity-case).
Slugcats would be the obvious choice for any genetic tampering, with how malleable-yet-stable their genes are, but... among his first experiments in the beginning, Fortune abducted a few specimens from the nearby colonies so that he could sample their DNA. And although they were later returned to the wild more-or-less unharmed, they must have somehow communicated their experience with the rest of them, because after that point Fortune would be harassed on sight whenever he got anywhere close to the colonies. So, slugcats? No longer a viable option.
Fortune tries to keep a code of ethics when working with his specimens: no harm without cause, no releasing unnatural organisms into the environment, etc. And he mostly succeeds at this! But there was one notable case of several breeding specimens escaping: batfinches. A splice of batflies and vultures. A small, gas filled prey animal. They invaded the local ecosystem, and even though things balanced out with time, for a while they had been devastating the lowest tiers on the ecological pyramid. They're pretty cute though, so worth it maybe?
Enter the current era with his darling devil lizardslug, Nips at Neurons.

Valentino walked into the paddock, Pecco hanging off his hip. The pair wore matching shirts, a visor for Vale and a baby bucket hat for his son. He tapped tapped his paddock pass, his passport picture appearing on screen as he waited for Pecco to tap his. The poor baby struggled with his coordination, a content squeal leaving the child's mouth as he noticed his picture pop-up when he finally touched the pass to the reader.

My mum bought my dog a squeaky toy for Christmas and I got to wake up to my dog literally abusing the poor toy by rapidly squeezing it and I’m pretty sure I’m losing my hearing but at least my dog is having the time of her life
#good morning vee#like soon I’ll be performing surgery on that duck and taking the squeaky thing out and giving it back to Aino#there’s a reason why I don’t buy squeaky toys to my dog#and it’s because she goes way too overboard and squeaks them just rapidly until the squeaky thing dies#like a large german shepherd versus a squeaking stuffed animal#the winner is pretty clear#though I find it funny and adorable how a big working dog is just a puppy at heart#but the real question is why do the squeaky things have to be so loud#my poor ears#but Aino here is like ain’t nothing gonna break my stride#vee talks#aino the dog

helppp i saw a most tragic character poll where one of the matchups was shadow the hedgehog vs luz theowlhouse and you could just tell that none of the people voting for luz actually know anything about shadow because they were all in the notes saying stuff like Guys please vote for luz she has trauma. and she had to go through all that when she was only a teenager . its so sad shadow has nothing on her. as if all of their arguments dont also apply to shadow
#and the propaganda for shadow was like. a long ass paragraph over triple the length of the propaganda for luz#(and it still somehow didnt even get into ALL the messed up stuff thats happened to shadow just a decent chunk of it)#as someone who knows both characters. shadow is the clear winner here no question you guys are just voting for the one you like more#and there were also people going ''umm how is luz losing to a hedgehog . dont let this happen'' which is like#the way every time a sonic character is winning in a poll people in the notes who dont really know them always go#''ummmm theyre just a hedgehog how are they winning '' is so annoying#like we get it you only see sonic characters as meme mascots#and refuse to acknowledge that theres like . actually very interesting and heartfelt stories and characters in sonic media#and that some of the stories go into darker subject matter . like the stuff involving shadow for example. whatever .

the jokes and memes are very funny admittedly but i have honestly very little patience for people who don't use twitter on here and elsewhere going "well what's the big deal it's just another dumb social media platform going down we're not losing anything essential". we are. we are losing something, if not essential, then at least very, very close to it.
because twitter isn't just "that place where all the dumb discourse happens". it's a place where state agencies share vital information that saves people's lives. it's a place that gets news from breaking stories pretty much as soon as they're happening, often from many points of view simultaneously, often before *anywhere else*. it's a place that has organized, directed, and popularized social movements and protests.
we don't really have an alternative to a platform like that right now, and it will be a while before another emerges with a big enough reach to make it feasible to use it in a similar way. in the meantime, twitter has become a public tool that many people and organizations have relied on for years. right now, it's hosting evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity in multiple regions of the world - do you see tumblr or another website right now taking up that role?
so yes, while we're all laughing (and it is genuinely funny, even as a twt user who has relied on it to organize and share information about protests), don't minimize just how big of deal it is that a platform like twitter is probably going to be dead soon.
#idk this may be preachy or. idk. but i do genuinely get annoyed at ppl here going ''what's the big deal twt is not a news source''#i'm sorry to say but you're just wrong. that's simply not accurate and ignores the reality of what that website is#unfortunately to everyone and people who rely on it especially twt has become hugely important to sharing news#and even after half a year of searching for alternatives a clear winner has not been declared so ppl haven't started moving yet#so any platform positioning itself as an 'alternative' to twt right now does not provide the same reach that is vital for news to be shared#twitter#internet#ń txt

Important voting criteria: do NOT just vote for your favorite character OR the shortest. Vote for the character who in your own opinion best exemplifies the Short King lifestyle. Feel free to explain/advocate for your choice in the tags and replies. Character/actor heights listed below for reference:
Daniel Larusso: 5’8 3/4 (CelebHeights) (Note: was shorter in kk movies)
Hawk: 5’8 (CelebHeights)
Robby Keene: 5’6 1/2 (CelebHeights)
Anthony Larusso: 5’8 (imdb) (very questionable imo)
Bert: 5’5 (imdb)
Nate: 5’7 (imdb)
Kenny Payne: 5’4 - 5’7 (unclear, not a lot of info)
Stingray: 5’8 (CelebHeights)
#cobra kai poll#theres one VERY clear winner here imo#but will they win? only time will tell#anyway. stay tuned for the tall queen ranking poll!#cobra kai#daniel larusso#anthony larusso#robby keene#hawk cobra kai#kenny payne#bert cobra kai#nate cobra kai#stingray cobra kai

Weird Al should be immortal but barring that I think he should do some weird hybrid Dread Pirate Roberts/Willy Wonka thing.
When he's ready to retire, he should choose someone new to take his place, train them to the best of his ability, and pass the mantle. They, in turn, will change their name and, from then on, Be Weird Al.* Despite the fact that they may not resemble him in the slightest, we will all have a societal obligation to pretend it's the same person. Hm? That? Oh, that's Weird Al. No, what are you talking about? It's just Weird Al. No, nothing's changed. I don't know what you mean.
The most important thing, though, is that the entire selection process for the Next Weird Al should be public. Televised. Hell, we should all get to vote in it.** It needs to be the most talked-about thing on the planet and then we all need to shut up about it and pretend it never happened faster than you can (not) say Game of Thrones. What do you mean. That's just Weird Al.
*I mean, no one would listen to Weird Dan.
**Our votes shouldn't actually have any influence on anything, of course. They should be completely ignored. The public could not be trusted with the responsibility of selecting a new Weird Al. But we should get to vote.
#weird al#obviously the next one would be daniel radcliffe#he'd still do the show though and make it very clear that he'd already chosen from the start#“we're looking for contestants for a new show to decide that daniel radcliffe will be the next weird al!”#every night he looks at the winner of the vote and throws it away before announcing “daniel”#one day elijah wood shows up instead#“hey you're not daniel” “no he couldn't make it he asked me to come instead he said no one would notice” “okay”#“the winner is daniel” “he's not even here that's elijah wood”#the show is just shenanigans#the dread pirate roberts#willy wonka#sing-you-fools
