It's a hobby!

٭٭٭٭٭ Hi! This is Tess. I run the local gun course in Haven, and work at the Naughty Ottsel part time. I also modify and create new guns for commission and fun! If you have any questions, feel free to ask! (OOC: I'm so sorry for missing all of those asks btw lol I just never realized whoops. Also, I'm not actually active anymore but I do reactivate the account now and again for posterity, I guess?) Sometimes I'm fuzzy but I look human when I'm on the job. It just seems safer that way! Plus, it's easier to mix drinks when I can reach everything. ♥ Let's stay in touch! ♥ *٭• Head Canons •٭* [ Jak and Daxter RP group ] • My Worst Nightmare sure is ugly! • ♥٭♥٭♥ Also, here is my OOC Main blog. I use it more often now and I get pretty wild with random posts and reblogs but it's uh more me.

OOC: RIP Old Group

So, because of finally noticing Kor's shift I also realized the old group had changed too. And well, not surprised it was inactive for many years, that's par for the course. But I got replaced with another Tess while I was inactive and now they're inactive... even though they and Seem are the only ones still listed lol. Whoops oh well! Best laid plans of ottsels and men amirite?

Actually I probably noticed on Kor because I reblogged something from that Tess there. But yeah... I never really came back just kinda logged in now and then when I thought about it. Sorry!

[gungoddess]

OOC: Heads up

For people who think their tumblr is gone, I think for whatever reason after being inactive for quite some time Tumblr may have attached the word blog to the name of some accounts. It's worth checking! So, your blog might still exist (I'm not certain if the deactivated tag is if you've actively done something to delete it) but it can be hidden when you're inactive for a very long time and logging in will reactivate it in that case. (Of course that said, I've no idea what happened to the NSFW accounts during the old purge... this probably only applies to any tumblr that survived that back in the day.) I noticed for whatever reason they did this to my Kor account so now the old address doesn't go to anything but I know that I didn't change it myself... at least I don't know how I would've if I did. As an example, it was http://head-honcho-kor.tumblr.com/ But now it's https://head-honcho-kor-blog.tumblr.com/

I like how everyone is saying no

Scratch knows how to cook and I'm going to assume all of the egg dishes he made with Grounder are great or he'd already be in Scrap Valley with Chef Puke a long time ago but I sincerely don't know if anything else he can cook tastes good... Ya know what? Screw it! I'm gonna head canon that Dr. Robotnik was a stupid jerk for turning down those pancakes; they were absolutely delicious and he wasted them! Scratch has a tongue, he doesn't really eat food, but he can swallow and taste things and presumably not completely wreck his insides from it lol so he can at least sample his own cooking as needed to test how it tastes. He's pretty stupid but Scratch is a major suck-up who fears Robotnik for good reason. I don't think he'd intentionally cook bad food for his master. I'm pretty certain Grounder and Coconuts make yummy food for the same reasons. After all, Sonic complimented Dr. Robotnik's Chili recipe and I assume Scratch, Grounder, and Coconuts all know how to cook it because they've been shown to cook it/have it in multiple episodes and Sonic has eaten it willingly. Sonic even accepted an offer of chili dogs from Scratch once directly. I'm pretty sure Scratch cackled and refused to feed any to Sonic when he asked for lunch because 1) Scratch'd be the one cooking it, 2) his mission from Momma Robotnik was to distract Sonic, and 3) he was still pissed off about Sonic messing with his cockscomb the other day so he wanted to mess with Sonic and then of course it backfired as such things always do lol. If Scratch had just fed the little blue hedgie some num nums instead of worrying that he'd go rescue Tails or whatever maybe Scratch wouldn't have gotten cubed. Tess from Jak & Daxter was my last PFP and I just wanna add that I suspect she makes a mean cocktail and obviously a mean round of ammunition but I'm never gonna assume she's the best cook. IDK why I just literally peg Keira, Ashelin, and Rayn as all being better cooks. The latter two most definitely had other people cooking for them but Ashelin strikes me as the sort to fear poisoning (LOL) and Rayn is just picky as hell and very good at whatever she does. Keira just kinda got stuck with cooking but she also wanted more and better healthy recipes than Samos could teach her so she learned how to rock her engineering fuel from some randos in Sandover. So Keira has a lot of traditional and vegetarian options from scratch that are simple, seasonal, and good. Ashelin knows solid basics and has seasonings in case she runs out of soldier rations on a long mission or she can't turn her back on the palace staff for fear of the wrong person making an assassination attempt (someone who doesn't know she's a double agent; also let's be honest I think Praxis wouldn't hurt his own daughter but I wouldn't put it past him to use her as a food tester either. I can see him telling himself that it builds character, like Calvin's dad!) Rayn is slinging up three different exquisite meals to rotate throughout the month for when she doesn't wine and dine some politicians or she's beat after a long day/night of criminal activity. I figure if she ever lived with Krew at any point then she asked the chef to teach her maybe. I feel like Tess cooks the way I do... lol begrudgingly and cheap but also she just kinda throws stuff together and makes do. It's not really cooking most of the time though... Torn rarely asked Tess to cook for the Underground, only if there wasn't anyone else and then they died like men together figuring out how to feed their peeps because he knows less than Ashelin. Torn survives on coffee, street food, bribes, and Jinx turning up with pastries while joking about a swig o' the hair of the crocadog that bit 'im. The Shadow is the big boss man who actually knows how to use the kitchen. Kor was... Kor got stuck with the kid because he knew how to steal/beg for yummy food. And when that wasn't an option well, there were a lot less rats suddenly. Mar was scruffy but he never went hungry and neither did the crocadog... make of that what you will.

[gungoddess]

pfffftttt I looked at my old head canon post here and then back at this because I forgot I thought Tess enjoyed cooking. Maybe she just hated cooking for the Underground because it was a lot of people and she doesn't know how to scale recipes and Torn did his best but he didn't know either. (Also, the might lose power frequently in the slums so preserving it could've been a pain and making certain there's water for cleaning the dishes too... oof.) So Tess likes cooking for herself, she's willing to do what she can for yummy things, and it's not like Torn can't survive on his own but maybe he sees food purely as sustenance, his knowledge and recipes reflect that. Tess enjoys cooking more when she isn't under pressure... together they hated cooking with a burning passion and it didn't go very well so they tried not to repeat that experience. I could see that being the case. Or IDK. See, I'm always up for shifting head canons in any direction that makes a more interesting story. Or aligns better with someone else's head canons if I'm actually RPing with them lol. And this was just a random bit of diddling around on my OOC main tumblr blog lol hence why it's suddenly AoStH central there.

OOC Commentary

I could edit this tumblr theme but that's kind of taxing. Problem is the old themes aren't https compliant so tumblr won't let me save the edits to the theme itself anymore. I tried to figure it out on Kor's and eventually I just switched themes to remove the old music player, which is fine. That whole blog looks better now because I improved the colors and description layout. It's just a lot to do and I've already edited this one outside of the actual theme, via the html in my description box, which is what allows me to tweak it for now. I might swap themes some day, I think a free one named Lilac looked promising, but for now I don't have the spoons. It made me realize my main blog also has an old uncompliant theme so RIP all the tweaking I did to that recently if I decide to change that too. I'd probably swap tumblr themes for Tess first lol.

[gungoddess]

hello Tess! *waves*

*notices after a long time, blushes, and waves* Oh, hey, there, Daxter! Sorry, I've been a little distracted lately.

[gungoddess]

LOL The lyrics aren't quite right, but because of the feel it gives, I can see Jak and Daxter both singing this as their "Fuck All of You" song. Alternatively, Jak and Keira or Ashlyn have an extremely rocky, but passionate life together. Could be applied to anyone, I guess, but that's what it made me think of. (Edit: Welp I should’ve said what the song title was because now years later I have no idea what this was. All it tells me is the embedding stopped working and I have no idea how to fix it. Only gives me the option to remove it; not redo it.)

[gungoddess]

Jak and Daxter, Jak 2 and after, hands down.

[gungoddess]

Veger, IMHO. Give it a moment to fully kick off. The chorus is definitely him.

[gungoddess]

Jak in his bitterest moments.

[gungoddess]

The friendly variant of G.T. Blitz during Jak X, IMHO. Alternatively, Errol. Both work pretty well.

[former-wastelander]

So why are you a former Wastelander? :)

[former-wastelander]

I lived in Spargus until i moved to Kras. Most of the poeple who live in the wasteland are called “wastelanders”.

I found that question a bit silly tough. 

[gungoddess]

No, silly! I meant why did you leave? I guess just for the racing? Or did you get tired of Spargus? Or do you not wanna talk about it? :P

“Hardly.” He wore an easy smile that invited conversation. “I was… well-behaved in the Guard, so I didn’t end up with Kitchen muster very often, and most of our stuff came already prepped in boxes.” He shook his head. “I guess you can say I was a bit of a momma’s boy. I always liked to be by my mother’s side while I was little, and she usually made meals. I was her little assistant as soon as I could hold a spoon.” 

It was nice to be able to talk about these memories without feeling shame or the pain of trying to let go of them. Fury, his girlfriend, had been helping him through some of the ugly stuff in his mind as he grew out of being a good little solider and into thinking for himself. A process of doubting authority that had been begun when he was originally banished had been slowly continuing with his return to the city and a government that wasn’t a despotic totalitarian rule. 

“I think I actually missed cooking.” He snickered, seeing as in the wasteland most everything was either dried or fresh with not much in-between. “Though I always had her instructing me. I’ll have to pick up a cookbook or something so I can see if I’ve still got the knack.” 

[the-dark-warrior]

Jak thought for a moment, he hadn't had time to do anything fun since he lived in Sandover Village. Since he started living here, he'd been in this war for so long...he didn't really even know what fun was. What he used to do for fun was go on those stupid little adventures with Daxter. They were stupid now, but back then, he'd wanted nothing more than to explore. Now here he sat, trying to think on what fun was. He stood up straight when he noticed the smudges and glanced up at her, "I don't...I don't know. Since we arrived here we've been in this what, I haven't really had much of a thought on it."

OOC: Archives

((I have made a new page where I’ve collected together all posts from a completed RP into a single thread for easy access and reading, as I feel Tumblr is just a little too difficult when you’re looking for a specific post from months ago. I’ll be doing the same to Artimus tomorrow.))

[gungoddess]

OOC: Actually, if you click on the tags or know what tags to search for, it's not too hard. I know what you mean though, since even the archives can be hard to dig through sometimes. A single thread would also keep it safe for posterity, because if they ever remove their blog, their posts are more or less gone for good, other than what shows up in your reply.

The Super Secret Ottsel Mission of Hush-Hush Daring Do

[lightofhaven-deactivated2013100]

The Marauder was down and out, but there was no time for a breather with two others coming in. Veger settled back into the driver’s seat and started trying to free the car.

He wasn’t an experienced driver, and the car jerked around as he tried everything he could think of. Driving in reverse, driving forward, hitting the jump jets, anything. The car was slowly working itself loose, but they couldn’t do “slowly” with that one crazy guy barreling towards them.

An experiment... Reblog if you don't care what length replies your rp partner makes, or you are okay with some short replies or longer than normal ones.

[gungoddess]

OOC: I for some odd reason am adverse to reblogging semi-random stuff (I guess because I feel like other people are trying to compel me to do something), whether or not it's RP related, but I agree with this. I don't believe there is a set word-count that defines quality role playing.

The Super Secret Ottsel Mission of Hush-Hush Daring Do

[lightofhaven-deactivated2013100]

“What the— Stop it!”

The buttons Tess was hitting were setting off all manner of devices in the car. The radio kept jumping from station to station, the windshield wipers turned on and off, the headlights flashed, and the car kept lurching forward every time she hit the turbo boost or the jump jets.

One of the Marauders rammed the side of the car while Veger was distracted, and it slammed into a mountainside. Now the vehicle was trapped between a rock and a hard place, literally.

The force of the strike had sent the two ottsels sprawling, and they hit the mountainside before landing in a heap on the driver’s seat.

Dazed, Veger groaned and tried to get up. Unfortunately, he was pinned underneath Tess, who, while not fat, was too heavy for him to move. He blinked to bring his vision back into focus, and saw the Marauder who’d rammed then getting out of his vehicle, probably to kill them and tear the car apart.

“Get… off!!!” Veger cried. He couldn’t reach his knife with her pretty much sitting on it, though he wasn’t sure how much good it’d do. “Get off!!!”
