still greatly enjoying John and Arthur finally having an Argument in front of Sheehan

it's so good

I haven't poked him yet because their scene is still ongoing, but Tendi will be genuinely happy that Stolas is getting a permanent warden who's as sweet and wonderful as her crush roomie and very good friend Lucy.

metonumia stolas is like 8-9ft tall he is ridiculous

Luckily Lucy is about to renovate so she'll ask for a high ceiling u_u

neal got his ceilings raised when he paired with stolas and it gave shaw a heart attack

AC done on all channels \o/ proud of myself

cacopheny who needs magic dawn light when Arthur's apparently earned this much trust

look accidentally killing someone you love is kind of a thing that deserves being shared

also Wen Ning already knows so telling one other person is slightly easier

Tendi will be totally down for getting some Stolas-sized furniture and high ceilings so he can come over

metonumia lmk if you need/want me to actually write anything up for stolas too

I know the canon! I tend to assume that a file basically covers someone's biography in a decent level of detail, but if your thoughts are different please lmk!

that's p much where I'm at too! Stolas's I think would have a bit of focus on his lack of agency too in how it's written, it's a lot of Things Happen To Stolas that he hasn't had any meaningful say in

except for the part where he fucks everything up by dicking down an imp as one of his first unilaterally selfish choices

Lucy: /learning phrase 'dicking down' for the first time, possibly

hahahaha

is this...bad? is dicking up better??

Lucy learning so much about sex and trashy romance hellenovas from stolas

God I feel like she would love watching soaps with him

even just from like. anthropological curiosity

she would! but hey she knows plenty about sex from...fucking her cousin for ten years....anyway she knows things

tbf his wife is very nearly canonically fucking her brother so

yeaaaaah this last episode was somethin

she's not a role model!

I think the only thing that might be a surprise is that Stella actually did hire Striker, but I think he already suspects it (that's how he died for TLV, in hospital due to the injuries Striker gave him)

aaah

iirc blitz died further on from a hit gone bad

nammah sokie: "i don't like arthur covered in his own blood"
john: /throws his arms up "right???"

sokie: "I hate it so much why, whyyyyy"

also good job putting two and two together sokie <3

heh <3 just a few clues here and there

schematise thank the gods Harry's past this phase

nammah honestly if Arthur hadn't been friends with Dorian Gray he'd be a lot more blustery about talking openly about sex, lmfao

thank goodness for Dorian

Arthur does not want to hear her the stuff she gets up to though lmao

absolutely fucking not

but at least he's okay with openly discussing the concept these days, haha

the things she does for friends lmao

floofdoodle that Tiger metaphor is doing some damn good heavy lifting

arthur i am both so sorry but also laughing

he woke up in such a Situation

moonjelly Fever: can you imagine, just being sexist for no reason
Arthur: /stares at the camera

for all the convoluted horrors her world has

the only people who get bent out of shape over gender are weird nobles

that and she has enough amnesia to be like

that's stupid.

oh right she's a Durge isn't she

mhm!

baldur's gate: you might get your brain melted by cosmic horrors but at least the horrors will be lgbt friendly

they'll call your tiefling racial slurs but not trans ones!

exactly

I just want you to know I had weird dreams about Harry having CR with Sylvanas Windrunner. also yes happy for Harry his thoughts happen inside his brain

he's only a little bit past it, Kim definitely got the worst of it, but he won't try and assure Gale that he definitely knows the alphabet now

lmao Gale just like "I really hoped so but thank you for telling me??"

Kim's response was "good. I also know the alphabet"

I can't wait to bring him for 4th wall to meet Gale lmao

Kim has a level of patience understood only by saints

Yay! I'm glad, because Arthur is right; if you look human, people expect you to act like one

Sweeney's glad he got to see Arthur change on the deck

sorry tendi this is not like. a secret

loool

frankly the fact that it's horrendously illegal to loan his grimoire out is a much higher priority than exchanging goods and services for sex

Tendi's just going to be like "...you haven't thought about how this is exploitative at all, have you."

the funny part is, it's actually really not

admittedly how they got there is messy but the sex is mutually consensual and they're both very lenient about the terms unless something necessary comes up, like Stolas needing the book on an off-full-moon day or Blitz having a double booking he can't afford to miss

Oh yeah, it'd definitely mutual, but Tendi still thinks they need to understand that the power imbalance is there and how it can be influencing things without either of them being fully aware of it

But that's also definitely informed by her own trauma experiences

Arthur please

Sokie just like "Living example of both how strong and delicate humans are" and also "He better be in a better mental space I stg"

heolstor congrats Kate on being the first to hear Arthur's singing voice

Maniette:

Ihdreniel shipoftheseus tinwateringcan should I assume arthur's deal from root's graduation is fair game? bc it hasn't been unscreened yet, haha

oops sorry my b! i'll go check

unscreened; you're all set!

\o/ thank youuuu

this poor dumb bird is so unprepared for someone to ask him what he wants to do

Lucy: I got you a nice comfy chair so you can SIT THERE and THINK CRITICALLY ABOUT YOUR FUTURE

Lucy: also movie nights

he likes movie nights more than the critical thinking ::{

She's so good for him

also I'm writing a Veilguard app between tags and not calling him Solas is an ongoing challenge

lmfao

LUCY THIS IS RUDE AND UNFAIR

SORRY TO CLARIFY THAT UR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES

stolas feels so bad for shouting and scaring her ._.

omnomivore good news, Arthur immediately likes Tendi

Good! It'd be awkward if he didn't when John and Sheehan do lol

not for Arthur, lmao

Definitely for Tendi

he's definitely not gonna stop people from being friends with John just bc he doesn't like them

he can play civil!

Oh she wouldn't worry about that, she just hates people not liking her, especially people who are important to other people she cares about

Arthur

i was so proud of that

words are hard but the intention is that sweeney's other selves can't read it

and if sweeney does ever Change into someone new, he can update it with his new name to keep using it

It's so perfect. DON'T LOOK AT HIM HE'S NOT CRYING YOU'RE CRYING

I'm still a bit charmed by Arthur and Misty trying to get along

they're doing their best! it's incredibly awkward!

Me: you're welcome
Walter: screaming and crying

i love Thrawn struggling so much to get the point of like

Pick One Task. Put The Others Back

yarnzipan this is an old thread now but Your Inmate, Florian

the blinkers are so intense

Florian like... sagely nodding

i'm surprised that jesse is doing so good with him, in a weird way

/cough/ women willing to debate with him are his type /cough/

cannibalherpes how can someone so smart be so stupid

I'm sorry, he's being a huge shit

"if you guys would all do your JOBSSSSS...."

(never mind that he's the one defining their jobs for them in his head)

(also never mind that he's never DONE this job)

immediately falls back on the "oh no I'm a helpless inmate I can't do shit" card too

what a bratttttt lmfao

permission to have Florian call him out on that one

honestly it's probably one of his techniques to be so goddamn annoying/frustrating to his superiors that it's the path of least resistance to let him do what he wants

yes do it

oh jesse's gonna too don't worry

a bitch has been called out

He also wanted to show up so he could show that he was listening to the conversation

and is more than prepared to pull out that line on Thrawn the next time he tries some bullshit with him

slams jesse down being Supremely Unimpressed

listen sometimes you gotta let him do a tiny bit of fascism right??

everything will be FINE

trust him

/SPRAY. BOTTLE

D:

in comes jesse with the bucket of water

it's always so nice to have other people back him up : )

five bucks thrawn nitpicks her hyperbole to avoid the very obvious point she is literally saying outright

You're Not Getting a Gravity Well, Thrawn!

NO GRAVITY WELL FOR YOU

PUT THE GRAVITY WELL DOWN

also this is not actually space'

so Jesse is definitely sending this straight to Florian

under the assumption if he doesn't have it he should

He wANTS THE GrAVITY WELL SO BAD

It was such a cool weapon when it was used against him and he stole it andbrought it back he KNOWS HOW IT WORKS LET HIm MAKE IT

we have moved past the spray

we are now at the hose

warden brutality D:

it's like a garden hose

don't be a pansy

just put a slip n slide in the greenhouse and be done with it

(also thank you for letting us go on endlessly in Florian's post)

of course

also

Florian is going to pick apart every one of these for Barge viability

TO DEATH

yeah jesse is like "Oh my god this is so above my paygrade"

(most of the complaints are 'that isn't actually space, stop treating it like space' and 'you have completely ignored any and all reality warping and/or magic issues and just because you don't LIKE those things doesn't mean they aren't a problem)

"this is why I don't like showing people my plans, you all nitpick them to death instead of doing TRIAL AND TEST RUNS"

"we should totally divide up the ship and pretend like one half is going to board us"

"THIS. IS. NOT. A MILITARY. VESSEL."

"Also how did you have time to write 14 pages of this and haven't finished a single assignment?"

using denial?

were you maybe vague because you don't LIKE being questioned, Thrawn?

Maybe maybe?

He finished...some of his assignments! He contemplated loss, he made some friends who couldn't offer him anything, he chatted about openers to Maintenance and why he couldn't be social!

those should count as partial credit at least

fine y'all clearly wanna be attacked by pirates

what pirates

the ONE guy who was using us as blackmail was not acting in a pirately smash-and-grab capacity

you're avoiding being boarded by the pirates known as socializing hangups Thrawn...

one person is not a statically significant pool

'literally was on three different ships in three months but ok'

...one of those was an intentional switch

two of them are owned by the same operator, buddy

and he may have finished some but he hasn't turned them IN

gotta do the discussion portion

Admiral Anxiety is not allowed to keep his secret womd's secret

that's Grand Admiral Anxiety to you buddy

...Jesse might also show these to jedao because Hey Engine Man, I Would Like A Second Opinion shipoftheseus

time to bother the mothman
