Ten years later, this bit still slaps. They made a great pun and realized they could be nice/inclusive with it too.
Bullying the jester late into the night, def a favorite passed time of this knight
while palpatine sucks as a guy, you do have to appreciate how his wardrobe went from esteemed galactic chancellor to backalley goblin overlord after only about 3 seconds of dictatorship
Needed to bed rot. I'm better now. : ] PATREON
Skirt grace + eridian style accessories yesssssss
Bonus sketches and ramblings:
so so so unbelievably glad ppl are getting on my “post-canon ryland grace becomes the teacher who wears long swishy skirts and jingles when he walks” agenda. i salute you soldier and your contribution to our cause o7
These guys would be the biggest hit at any Renaissance fair they went to.
An envoy from a kingdom in the far East comes to your hamlet and of course you give them a warm welcome!
Do you have any idea what access to the spice road would do for the tiny Dukedom of Fairground By the Budget Hilton?
Generally speaking holy warriors are very good at dying for little gain.
Maybe it's just me but if I had a well funded and capable army, my next play wouldn't be "what if I had a small corps of insane weirdos that want to kill themselves"
“Eridians dislike earth because they abandoned Grace.” *Incorrect Buzzer Sound* ya missed the point of the story buddy! It’s not about someone being ‘bad’ it’s about the incredible power of love and that love being worth dying for!
Gimmie Eridians who are absolutely heartbroken to hear that humans where so desperate and so scared that they where willing to part with not just one Grace, there were three of them! Gimmie Eridians touched to find that the humans planned a way for their sacrifices to be as comfortable as possible. Gimmie Eridians who send earth a message saying “We know it must have hurt to send your heroes to die, but one made it and he’s safe here. We lost 22 good Eridians on the journey we would have lost 23 if not for your Grace.”
Give me humans sitting on Earth slowly coming to the conclusion that when we look up not only are we not alone, someone out there is alive because of one of us. That no matter what we think of ourselves a whole species thinks highly of us because we helped save the galaxy. Give me humans who figure out how to send a probe to Erid filled to the brim with messages for Grace and footage of a monument being raised that reads his name, his crews names, and then “in memory of the 22 Eridians who lost their lives on the journey to save the stars.”
thinking about a lake i hiked to last year that was so small and cute. i jumped in to cool off and swam out to the middle, then looked down and saw trunks of entire dead trees dozens of feet below me and this is how i learned this particular lake is 100ft deep despite looking like a pond
my immediate first thoughts were 1) damn im glad im a strong swimmer because this is a lake that eats people who can't swim and 2) i thought i had gotten past my fear of open water until right now
it looks so nice and deceptively shallow. but she'll get you
I do think the post that's like "when they torture you to insanity and then torture you for being insane 😂🤣" is one of the most succinct and foundational analyses of interpersonal violence and conflict that had ever been written
Me: *explaining how much United States Americans are expected to sing or hear the national anthem and say the pledge of allegiance*
My teenager: ....are we sure the United States of America isn't a cult?
Explaining the cult of American Football and the American High School culture around it and School Spirit as a concept made things worse
My 17 year old is sad knowing I grew up in that system
And I honestly totally get it
It doesn't seem that weird until you move countries
It's *so* weird (as a non-American). I think there's a greater or lesser appreciation for the pledge being weird (creepy) and maybe the flags everywhere being A Lot.
High school sport being a professional-level Big Deal is probably less appreciated for being as fucking bizarre and unhealthy when you're steeped in it.
From what I remember (and to be fair it's been over 20 years since I lived there) but
-we said the pledge every morning at school (we were supposed to through out public school and it was announced over the Intercom but everyone ignored it in highschool)
- we sang the national anthem at every sporting event from little league to professional
- we did the pledge at the opening of most events that had more than like 10 people. I'm talking school award ceremonies, school concerts, graduations, conferences, etc
- the national anthem was shoe horned almost everywhere
- school spirit/religious devotion to football went hand in hand with this
- spirit week is a week leading up to the homecoming game/dance where each day has a theme. The pep rallies are real.
I didn't participate the one year I was actually attending highschool at the highschool (I did the rest of time taking classes at the community college for highschool/university credit) and my principal pulled me aside and said my college application wouldn't be good enough if I didn't show "school spirit"
-high school assemblies started with the pledge and ended with the school song. This was mandatory and they got very upset if you refused to participate because the final bell had already rung
The obsession with highschool football and the related concept of "school spirit" feeds directly into nationalism imo
It's so overwhelmingly everywhere that you kinda just take it as background noise until you move countries and it's like "what the shit was all of that!"
it's a well-known fact in the textile crafting community that "making objects from textiles" is an entirely separate hobby from "having a collection of materials to make things with."
crafters often refer to this collection as a "stash" or a "hoard."
it's normal to have, but sometimes comes with a certain awkwardness.
the problem is that it takes a very long time to make things from textiles - and it is extremely quick, fun and easy to get more materials.
Presents, impulse purchases, leftovers from other projects, things you bought FULLY intending to make something that you changed your mind about...
Another problem is that you genuinely DO have a plan for the materials! your intentions and desires are THERE!
and admitting that it isn't going to happen - or that your mind has changed, or you're no longer able to do them - can be really painful!
it's incredibly hard to say: "we are not the people who can do these things. we are not the people who WILL do these things."
but sometimes you need to.
it's a natural part of life. it might feel painful to let go of things that you really want to use, but won't. But clearing them out - and the attached guilt and shame - will make room for a lot more things in your life. Room for things you'll use. Room for the projects you'll do.
Room and space - not for hanging on to the shades of the ambitions and intentions and people you aren't - not being held for lives you don't have - but room and space for who you are today, and who you'll be tomorrow, and for the things you'll do.
Room and space to grow.
Bisexuals rise up!
OK, going through the GG posts on your blog, one of them mentioned you had a thing about othar/anevka, can we hear more about that?
I have some truly insane feelings about this crackship, it's A Lot.
They do not meet in canon. To the best of my knowledge, they've never even been in the same city in canon. I don't even have the ship happening while she's still alive, for pity's sake, but...
This ship started out as a joke. We were talking about a GG/Danny Phantom crossover on discord and I threw in fake-married Otharnevka (him gay, her a dead robot lady), where the ongoing joke was their fake relationship being goals for everyone, because she'd like... ask him to help her reach a high shelf, and instead of just grabbing the thing for her, he'd lift her up onto his shoulder to do it herself, and bow to kiss her hand, that sort of thing.
Except canon Othar isn't gay (the twitter story is canon enough that we can assume he likes women), so the next time it came up, it was less of a joke. And just. I kept getting invested?
He is a hero! She needed a hero, but never got one. She is the mad scientist's beautiful daughter, but she's the mad scientist herself too, except she's not a spark anymore, but she's still a sadist. He thinks he can help her be not-evil. She thinks she can corrupt him. He dotes on her and is an absolute gentleman without ever actually underestimating or coddling her. She's so ready to kill, and he might be a hero but he's fucking unhinged so it's not like always stops her! He's strong enough to carry and lift her 900kg body and make it look easy. He's ready and willing to stand around looking pretty while she politics, and she takes pleasure in pretending to be a damsel for him to save, especially if it ends with his shirt ripped up.
Othar: I can fix her! Anevka, in a condescending voice: Don't you want to help me kill this awful, evil spark? Othar: ...well, maybe a little murder. (Tarvek, who does not want to be here: This is not how you fix a person. I should know, Agatha fixed me.)
He's annoying, but she doesn't have to be around him when he's annoying. She's pretty well-made to just tune him out, even, and even that is rare; it's so much more fun to pat him on the arm and say 'that's nice, dear' when he's having a Heroic Monologue Moment, and then swan off to poison someone while he tries to recruit himself a new sidekick.
I just. They give me dopamine. They're awful, but not actually The Worst by GG standards. Even Anevka's mostly just Traumatically Dramatic and could probably be aimed at problems once she's got a bit of distance from the Aaronev situation.
Here, have a few Otharnevka posts:

Ladies and gentlemen, Agatha’s room:
It has been her room for at least 10 years - take a look at these hand prints, the earliest was done when she was 8 years old (and now she’s 18).
Choice of decor is interesting, I love these handpainted stars and seashells. Probably Lilith and Adam did it for her, the same goes for the bed and wooden toys (or at least I hope this lizard-type of thing wasn’t alive at some point).
There’s carved “carpe diem” and some numbers - “2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 59 61 67 71 73 79”. These are prime numbers. Are these Agatha’s method to learn math…?
There are some books too (she likes to read in her bed), a collection of plants and some technical plans and drawings. I can see many circles, maybe these are the plans of her little clanks…?
