#almost certain

[pratchettquotes]

He always, always finds a way in, she thought. He doesn't think about it, he doesn't plot, he simply slides in. I saved him because he couldn't save himself, and Gavin saved him because...because...because he had some reason...and I'm almost, almost certain that Carrot doesn't know how he manages to wrap the world around him. Almost certain. He's good and kind and born to be a king of the ancient sort that wore oak leaves and ruled from a seat under a tree, and though he tries hard he never has a cynical thought.

I'm almost certain.

kissing all over roommate/bff! vessels face while in his lap, and he's laughing, and you're laughing. It's silly and fun, and you kiss his cheeks and his forehead, his neck, his brow. Just fast little pecks that keep you both laughing, and he tries to grab your face to stop you because it's hard to breathe through the giggling, but you give him a quick peck on his mouth and he stops laughing, so you do it again, high on your own laughter but when you do, he holds you there. Opening his mouth to kiss you a lot deeper and a lot slower and and and *slowly withers away into nothing*

I have this emotional support mini beanie baby anteater named Antsy I keep in my pocket when I go to school and have, the last week, been drawing him very much so here are some I did yesterday

I know they're together. It's not obvious, they're not holding hands or kissing, but I know by the way they sit next to each other. There's no clumsiness, no knocked hips or elbows or sitting on each other's coats, and I can't help but wonder if that's what love is, if it's knowing exactly how much space someone takes up in the world and not making them feel bad about it.

Greetings mutual, I have a guess, but I'd like your input:

If @i-identify-tanks-in-posts has any guesses about the mounting point, I'd also like to hear them. Bronzeageprolapse

Quad-mounted RPG-7 launchers with PG-7R 105mm tandem HEAT warheads & AGS-17 30x29mm automatic grenade launcher, 100% confidence.

As to the UGCV they're mounted on, no clue. Maybe @i-identify-tanks-in-posts can help, as you say.

Hey Mutual

Catch

M67 fragmentation grenade, US, 100% confidence.

Also that chimpanzee is well within the casualty radius, maybe even the direct blast radius.

This will end poorly for it.

Test: can you identify bombs by looking at the effects?

Munition type: AGM-114R9X Hellfire II precision guided munition. 99% confidence.

This particular variant does not have a warhead. Instead, it contains the most metal effects package ever inserted into a missile:

Six deployable metallic blades. (exact blade composition unknown; perhaps a Stalinium-unobtanium alloy)

The image provided is of the aftermath of a US airstrike, using an R9X, which killed al-Qaeda deputy leader Abu Khayr al-Masri in Syria in 2017.

More info on the R9X (at bottom of linked section).

Want to use this one in a fic, found the picture ages ago and can't find the name. I think it's a MOP? But all I find there is the GBU 57.

Munition type: Raytheon/General Dynamics GBU-28 5000lb laser guided bomb ("bunker buster"). 99% confidence.

Designed, manufactured (initially from surplus 8in/203mm artillery barrels; new production is purpose-built), and deployed in less than three weeks due to urgent need during Operation Desert Storm. Contains 630lbs of tritonal explosive.

Launch platforms include(d) the F-111F Aardvark and the F-15E Strike Eagle.

Currently being replaced by the JDAM-derived 5000lb GBU-72 (a BLU-138 penetrator warhead with JDAM guidance kit).

Further information on the GBU-28.
