The Ring keeps on turning! Welcome to the page of the weird Hardman5509 AKA BlackEyeHawk! Artwork done by AudGreen on devaintART as part of a art trade I did with her.
"big hammer" is probably the best girl-coded weapon type. most of the other standard weapons for girls have pretty wild implications if you think about them for too long but big hammer would never let you down
our new head chef Barbecue Pistol is going to rock your world with his brand new fry sauce which is a mix of ketchup and mayonnaise and a little sriracha for that pistol kick
Underrated JRPG feature is when one party member uses some non-weapon object as a weapon, but you still upgrade your stats by buying weapons, so now every weapon shop in the world needs to carry parasols of increasing lethality
I thought I was losing it but no, kh1 Sora's fast swimming animation really does change after you've been to Atlantica. It's a small detail, but also a cute and smart one 🥺
kind of crazy that benny fallout new vegas would have the entire mojave under his thumb if he wasnt so obsessed with using his stupid little cuckboy 9mm
What's really funny is that he actually did if I recall correctly. It's just that his gun sucks that much and that the courier is just that lucky that you survive. Maria least dependable gun of all time
his gun, Maria, actually has a high crit rate and if like me you have a high crit build it can last you as a back up pistol for a while. I was like level 30ish when I stopped really using it and just had it on me as a keepsake. Benny is just the unluckiest s.o.b. in that there whole Mojave
oh so what im hearing is that despite being the epitome of New Vegas Swagger benny is actually the unluckiest motherfucker alove and would absolutely SUCK at gambling in any form
The entire crux of bennys monolithic bagfumbling prowess falls entirely into how Mr House picked him specifically from the tribe that became the Tops and groomed him to be his Protogé, Mr House also being an utter fool who's massive ego/monopoly on violence in New Vegas proper lead him to believe he was humanity's only hope. Benny fucked up on a monolithic scale, but remember he was taught things no one else on the strip was by a fucked up libertarian prune who only shows himself through Vtuber debuts if you let him
I’m not vegan and shit, but I think we need to be aware of what our food system is doing to animals, animals that have fed and kept us alive for a shit long time.
Doing just five seconds of research reveals that these are cannulated cows, and the reason they have these is for veterinary purposes for the study of rumination from what I can tell. These are done in agricultural and veterinary environments in order to have ready access to what's going on in a cow's gut. It is not to cut down on actually feeding them. Looking at responses from actual experts and not weird conspiracy theorists on TikTok tells us they absolutely still need to eat from their mouth, and cannulated cows do not exist just to achieve "net zero" or cut costs on food.
You gotta begin to question obviously misleading videos like this, especially in this day and age.
I remember seeing a PETA-like pamphlet in high school that was so fake. It showed a photo of a blood-stained barn, claiming it to be a slaughterhouse for KFC, and I could tell from a mere glance that is was fake; the only way that the blood spray would make sense if the animal was EXPLODED from the inside.
A lot of these Anti-Meat/Pro-Vegeterian stuff tends to be a bunch of junk anyway. 'Here's a video of a cow getting tortured by the evil meat industry!' Yeah? Quick question, who's idea was it to record a video of illegal butchery and post online? I doubt that all of the photos and videos were done by spy-cameras and Go-Pros.
Touhou Ship Week 2023 Reimu x Suika 01: Confession/Legacy
"Hey, psst."
Reimu ignored Suika. Suika tapped the shrine maiden on the shoulder with a finger. Reimu continued to ignore her. Suika poked Reimu in the cheek, squishing it. Reimu groaned, but continued ignore to the oni. So Suika tapped Reimu on the head with one of her horns, and that got Reimu's attention after rubbing the top of her head. "Okay, okay, what?"
"Do you want to start a family?"
Reimu stared awestruck, complete with her jaw hanging low. "What?"
"Well, we could." Suika shrugged before taking a small sip from her gourd. "I live here, we share a bed,"
"Because you wrecked the last one!"
"And I feel like we really click together!" Suika put her hands out. "You and me, a real power couple!"
"You live here without rent and you just mooch off me." Reimu pointed out. "And now you want me to drop all of my shrine maiden duties to go and start a family?" She chortled as she set her cup down on the dusty table. "Oh, and I suppose you want me to be the mamma!"
"...I think you would be a good momma."
Reimu laughed. "If I have a child of a youkai, that will serve to alienate any remaining other custo...people of faith that come up here. I'm pretty sure that Yukari will not be happy with that, Sanae might just kick my ass, and any power-hungry youkai will cause an incident with me out of commission."
"Well, there's Sakuya, Sanae, that...bunny and ghost girls...and, oh, and Cirno! She could probably do somethings."
"I guess that won't be too bad then." Reimu groaned. "A small vacation would be nice..." She stopped, shook her head and looked at Suika with a sour look. "No, no. I ain't doing that. I got to protect the barrier and the Human Village...and all of that."
"But what about legacy?" Suika asked as she pointed with a finger and her gourd. "You had parents, so you would need to consider getting continuing the legacy of the Hakurei Shrine." She giggled. "Hey, you don't have baby photos of you..."
"No, I don't." Reimu sniffed. "But yeah..." She sighed as she placed her elbows on the table, catching and holding her head with cupped hands. "Guess at some point I would need to consider having a kid. Think it has to be directly from my bloodline for them to inherit the mantle of the shrine maiden. Going to suck, but at least I got some time and plenty..."
Reimu stopped. She started to wonder why exactly, of all moments, that Suika chose to bring this up. And the oni is looking away at the moment. The kind of look that brought the word 'guilty' to mind. "Suika..." Reimu started up with a deep draw in her voice. "Is there...a reason...as to why..."
"Hey, remember what we did last night?"
"No, but please. Do go on."
"I might have knocked you up..."
Aya caught the perfect photo. She was flying near the Hakurei Shrine to see if there's a story brewing up at the most chaotic place in the land. The photo of a legendary oni with a re-arranged face flying up and then crashing down back into the shrine is going to sell so many copies!
This is perfect! Mike has been waiting and saving for something special all year along and it seems that her efforts are going to pay off. She managed to work her powers in such a way that she got the money and the customers she wanted without losing too many of the other. It sucked most of the time; either getting filthy stinking rich while being left alone or having customers a-plenty and being poor...but she could finally...finally...FINALLY...
Afford a tuna!
Tuna is a rarity in Gensokyo, even more so good tuna. And getting some good tuna or any tuna period is even harder when the richer denizens get their hands on the good stuff. Mike had to not only save up money for the tuna itself but also to secure a place in line AND actually get some real tuna. Mike has heard some nasty rumors regarding some vendors selling fake tuna either to make a quick buck or make up for their lack of product.
But she did it! Mike let out a happy cheer as she raced on out of the vendor's store with her tuna tightly wrapped. There's enough in here to grill two good-sized patties. Hmm! Tuna burgers on Christmas Eve sounds great, but what would be greater...if Rin agreed to share a meal with her!
This has been a long time coming. Mike didn't want to go to the Hakurei Shrine's flower viewing originally, but it was well worth it to meet up with Rin. A fellow cat-youkai, and a real cutie to boot! Creepy cutie at that. Liked to talk about corpses and dead people a lot. Smelt like them as well, guess it goes with the territory. But still! Still! Red-head, perky and she's the kind of gal that Mike would love to be with all the time...
And maybe the promise of dead fish will win her over?
Mike's eyes were locked onto the mini-grill that she bought from that weird junk-seller guy. It's portable but the small size is perfect to grill the tuna. The only thing she should have also bought is a cookbook because she has no real way of telling if the tuna is being cooked all the way through or if the skin is getting burnt off. She is trying to go as perfect as she can make it go but she had a feeling that if she tried to go that way, she will do far worse. Best to go for a good grade!
They should be done soon, and just in time, she needed to warm up the buns. Rin should be getting here soon; she mentioned that she had some errands on the mountain to handle. No mystery as to what errands are and Mike is hoping that the smell of death is long gone by the time Rin arrives...
The smell of frying meat reminded her that she had more important matters to handle at the moment. Rin quickly flipped the patties. Besides, the other side looks to be a little bit undercooked.
“Hello...”
Mike let out a little shriek as she jumped up to the ceiling. A little laugh from the direction of the greeting. “Geez, didn't mean to scare you.” Mike, still clinging to the ceiling, looked down to see...Rin! She's on her own and without her cart too. That means that this dinner will have no problems with bad-smelling corpses now! Heck, Mike could pick up on some sweet scent of saffron swirling from that sexy...uh....is there a synonym for 'cat' that begins with 's'?
Never mind. “Rin!” Mike sighed as she deattached herself from the ceiling, landing on her feet and going over to greet her guest. “You made it!”
“Of course.” Rin did a little courtesy of a bow. “Even if I wasn't invited, I would have smelt that tuna countries away...” She licked her lips as she eyed the mini-grill, thankfully undisturbed from Mike's jump. “A short meal I see.”
“It's the most I could get with what I have.” Mike sighed. Yup, should have saved more money. Maybe next year? “Guess it is more of a snack...?”
“It's fine.” Rin produced a large, gray clay bottle from behind her back. “Brought some beer, might as well make it an American-like barbecue...”
“American?”
“Other world thing, it's really interesting!” Rin gasped as she plopped down on her butt and popped the top of the bottle. “America is a really hellscape for a lot of people, and a lot of death...” She sniffed the contents for a bit before her brain kicked on and she realized her little mistake. “Oh, right. You don't like talking about that...”
“Well, it is your job...” Mike nervously replied, trying to play it cool. “You can talk about it...”
“Nah, your shack, your rules.” Rin shrugged as she produced two shot-glasses from her bag. “Besides, I talk mostly about my job, and it's good if I listen to you for a bit.” She sighed as she poured out two well-measured shots into the glasses. “So, what do you do for a living around here?”
“Selling!” Mike spat out, her nerves overtaking her. “Selling whatever I can get my hands on...”
“Ah, scalping.”
“NO!” Mike spat out, covering her mouth this time. “I mean, I guess? I find random junk and then I attract customers...” Rin put on a coy smile while holding her glass close to her lips, swirling it around. “Not like that, not like that!” Mike crossed her arms as she repeated herself nervously. “I have the power to beckon money or customers...”
“Oh, I get it.” Rin sighed as she sipped gently on her booze. “You're like a magnet, like that mouse girl. You find good stuff and then you sell it off?” Mike nodded her head. “Maybe you and Nazrin should do something together. She can find anything for you.” Mike slowly nodded her head. Why does it sound like Rin is going to try and hook her and that mouse together? “If she ain't busy with her tiger buddy...”
“Oh.”
“Hmm?” Rin asked as she again swirled around her glass. “You were...?” She then giggled. “Nah, I ain't going to hook you with anyone you don't wanna.” She giggled as she downed the rest of her shot. “Just suggesting partnerships, you know. Expand the business?” She shrugged. “Come on, friendly business talk.”
“Yeah, yeah...” Mike gulped as she looked back at the patties, thankfully not burning. So far so good! That should be good for the patties; Mike carefully set them down on a plate and then replaced them with the buns. Just a little bit longer! She gulped, her hand starting to shake uncontrollably. She's going to drop the spatula at this rate.
“Want some help?”
Mike gasped as she could feel Rin huddling around behind her. "You're getting nervous...you cold?" Rin asked as she breathed some hot air on Mike's neck. Mike tensed up as she could feel Rin's hand going on her hand holding the spatula. "Here, let me help you..." Mike gulped down as Rin started to puppet her hand.
This only lasted a bit before Mike regained control of herself, and by that, she leapt up and onto the ceiling again. Rin took a moment to register her surprise before emitting a loud sigh and looking up to seeing the clinging Mike. "Man, you take the phrase 'scaredy-cat' to a new whole level." She clicked her tongue as she carefully picked the buns off the grill and then set up the burgers. "Come on down before they get cold." She told with a wag of her finger.
Mike is a fountain of sweat by this point; not a good thing to have when it's like zero celsius out there at the moment. She knew that Rin could be very candid but didn't realize just how open she is. Taking a nervous gulp (Geez, she's getting thirsty, and doubtful the beer is going to help her with that) she dropped down from the ceiling.
Rin handed her a burger first, before then serving her glass. Mike set the plate down first before taking the glass with bot hands. "Cheers." Rin held up her own glass close, with Mike almost nervously dropping hers. It took Mike a second to recognize what Rin wanted before she gently clinked her glass against Rin's. Rin giggled as she downed her glass down in one gulp.
"Now for the burger..." Rin remarked as she looked at the steaming patty. She snatched it up and chomped down halfway. Mike's heart sank. Even if the patty is delicious, that's half the meal down. That's massively disappointing! And if the patty sucks...
"Delicious!" Rin chirped as she pulled Mike in for a kiss on the cheek. "Merry Christmas..." She then whispered. "Don't worry too much about it...next year..." The next part she whispered is far too risqué for a story of this caliber to write down and it made the already nervous Mike explode.
Rin isn't hard to please. Dead bodies on the way down or anything that cats likes is enough to make her happy. Mike didn't need to worry too much. Rin did like the change of pace going from big festival gatherings to this little snack and drink with Mike.
...now, Rin would have to wait a bit for Mike to calm down before she could suggest what else they could do with a bottle of booze while they are alone together...but, she can wait to 'unwrap her gift'. Hehehe.
