[REPOST] MY 2K WORD COMMENTARY/ANALYSIS OF RANBOO’S LORE STREAM

‼️‼️This post contains lore spoilers from Ranboo’s 4/23 stream, “The Enderwalk Saga. Chapter 1: The Lessons”. If you haven’t seen that stream don’t read ahead unless you want spoilers‼️‼️

disclaimer: this isnt really an analysis as much as a bunch of commentary and half-baked theories.

-on the way to the mansion he was sort of talking to himself saying stuff like "i'm good i'm good" which m a y be a normal thing but also maybe it's not and it flew over our heads cause he talks to chats and donos like that so often

-again, this one may just be a normal thing but when he was climbing up the stairs in the mansion looking for foolish, he repeats some of his words like down to the exact same tone of voice and everything. 12:42,  "this mansion is way too big actually. this mansion is way too big actually." (why the repeated actually? seems odd to me but again it might just be a normal thing that i haven't picked up on). (right after) "okay okay lemme find him lemme find him" again repeated words in the e x a c t same tone.

-does everyone know about ranboo's silk touch hands ability thing? or was that just a techno and ranboo main character moment. bc if it was, how would foolish know that ranboo could pick up the full cake after it'd been partially eaten. unless everyone on the sever knows about that in which case this means nothing. but if they d o n t know... how would foolish know? ranboo wrote about it in the do not read book so maybe if it's not a publicly known thing maybe foolish got his hands on the book and read it??

-14:53-ish, they're talking about the war room and how it was for tubbo or whatever and ranboo says, and i quote "he prepares for lore but he's never gonna do it." now funny thing is at first i couldn't tell if he said "war" like in reference to the war room or "lore". but after playing the clip over and over i can say with ALMOST 100% certainty that he said lore. there is a definite L sound at the beginning of the word. which either means a) this was a slip up (doubtful bc he said later that there were no mistakes), b) he broke the fourth wall because they were supposed to be rping at that point, or c) i'm completely wrong and he said "war" which leads down an entire other road of possibilities

-15:17 "are you a book reader?" "*checks inventory for do not read book* uh yeah i'd say i'm a book reader-" dunno how i didn't catch this the first time I HATE THAT DAMN BOOK

-15:18 there's blue in his hotbar. where did he get the blue.

-16:40 "it's like a metaphor- i have two minds: i have my normal self, my normal little shift-dancing self, and then the builder one. the builder one is demanding. it's a very demanding mind." ranboo then lets out a weird sigh after this. i feel like what foolish was talking about was an indirect(?) parallel to ranboo in and out of enderwalk, there's how he normally is, trying to do best for others, and then there's enderwalk, meeting up with bad guys and "demanding" things (its very late as i write this i really don't know what i'm talking about)

-17:11 "you have your panic closet" i'm sorry his what now 😀 no but seriously how the hell did i miss some of these

-18:04 "you're asking me if i remember?" very funny ranboo thank you for making jokes in these trying times

-18:25 WHY DID HE GET OUT THE AXE WHEN STARING AT THE BEE

-19:38 why did foolish hold the grass block- most of these observations probably mean nothing but- h u h - is that- i'm too tired for this

-19:54 "i never properly thanked you for the deal you made with me" so foolish got something out of this deal, we're not sure if ranboo did. "the green cardboard box" again do you mean dream's house- but seriously the only people i can think of on the server that are associated with green are dream and sam. and i have no idea what cardboard box could be referring to.  foolish got a lime colored shulker from drista

-20:30 "we're supposed to only talk about it at a certain location" hmm now where would that be? panic room maybe? cause like usually after doing a big thing in the enderwalk state ranboo wakes up in the panic room so maybe?  the deal was that they only talk about it in his house

-21:52 how does ranboo receive(?) the lessons? like are they whispered to him in his mind or is he seeing them as words in front of him like we see? hmm

-"Lesson 14: If you have the opportunity to gain a favor, take it." "gain a favor" don't you usually ask people for favors though? how does one "gain a favor"? anyways i'm pretty sure lesson 14 has to do with the deal foolish was talking about. (the deal explained because i now have info: at some point a bit ago foolish met up with ranboo and asked to make a deal, he'd gotten a shulker box from drista. the deal was that ranboo would have ownership of the box, it would be under his name but foolish rents/borrows it indefinitely. ranboo negotiated that if he took ownership of the box he would get a "war favor"  from foolish where if something happens that creates sides, ranboo can ask him a favor that could change his side. but why would foolish want ranboo to have ownership of the shulker you may ask? well i have an answer for you. a theory actually but still. basically since drista technically isn't supposed to give out shit on the server if someone where to have that stuff then they may get in trouble. foolish wants to be able to use the shulker but if it gets found he doesn't want to get in trouble, so he can blame it on ranboo seeing as it's under his name.)

-22:16-ish "i still have this from when you *can't understand whats said here*" well i guess that sort of explains why he had the grass block? idk man (info update: he had the grass block from when ranboo threw it at him telling him to calm down like what ghostbur does with blue)

-31:35 "i figured out how to cause it" how to cause the enderwalk state

-38:30 "ninety three lessons" I STILL DONT KNOW WHY HE KEPT SAYING NINETY THREE AND NOT NINETY FOUR AND ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY LMAO

-39:01 "it's all for the greater good" okay well when are you gonna start thinking about yourself and not everyone else for once huh. self care bitch.

-40:31 he started holding the axe when he was looking at sam- gonna say it i really don't like that axe ahahah- WAIT A DAMN MINUTE THE AXE IS NAMED "axe of ender" I DONT LIKE THAT I DONT LIKE THAT AT ALL

-41:53 is there something?? physically keeping him from telling sam??? or maybe it's sort of like his enderwalk state taking control to make him shut the fuck up??? so many questions and approximately zero answers

-43:18 ranboo raising his voice legitimately scares me 😀👍

-"Lesson 27: Do not reminisce on what you have lost for it will weigh you down." showed up when he was thinking about and REMINISCING about the community house 👀👀

-"Lesson 53: Never fully trust anyone." showed up literally after he said that he thinks he can trust the other people on the server enough to tell them about what he did

-"Lesson 67: Leave no evidence of what you have helped with." this is different from the others because there doesn't seem to be at least a semi-direct connection to it? unless maybe at the time ranboo was near something he may have "helped with"? not sure about this one

-"Lesson 94: DO NOT LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE" yeah yeah i get it i get it he's fucked up some shit in enderwalk i don't feel like analyzing this thanks

-OH OH NOTICE HOW HE SAYS "REMEMBERING" WHEN THE LESSONS SHOW UP. IMPLYING THAT THIS ISNT A NEW THING, ITS HAPPENED BEFORE AND NOW HES REMEMBERING IT. MAYBE HE WROTE DOWN THE LESSONS WHEN HE WAS IN ENDERWALK AND NOW THAT HES BEEN EXPERIMENTING ITS BEEN EASIER FOR HIM TO REMEMBER THOSE ENDERWALK MEMORIES

-okokok the experiments are that he's been e x p e r i m e n t i n g on how to purposefully induce the enderwalk state. and we know now that it wasn't from the pain of the water because on the stream afterwords he said that it's caused by the intense fear of something happening. and so the "side effects" of the experiments is that since he's in enderwalk more often(?) he starts remembering more things from it

-OH MY GOD WAIT "there is a reason sam, there's so many reasons, theres ninety three of them" (44:47) WHAT IF EVERY LESSON IS TIED TO A QUOTE UNQUOTE "reason" THAT RANBOO THINKS HES A BAD PERSON/NEEDS TO BE LOCKED UP BUT HE SAYS NINETY THREE INSTEAD OF NINETY FOUR BECAUSE THE NINETY FOURTH LESSON DOESNT HAVE A REASON YET/HE DOESNT REMEMBER IT HAVING A REASON

-dude honestly the whole sam part hurts so much this man is scarily good at acting

-46:46 "i cant put you in the prison you wouldn't be able to see michael anymore" bestie that's the point he doesn't want to accidentally hurt michael or tubbo in the enderwalk state—

-okay but there's no way that sam couldn't tell that ranboo was at least TRYING to confess to something- i feel like he definitely knows more than he's letting on because usually like when people do bad shit or admit to doing bad shit he's like in Prison Guard Mode™️ (he literally cut off ponk's arm because he stole some keycards or something) and whatever and idk what he knows but he definitely knows something and is trying to protect ranboo. or he's trying to manipulate him or smth either one works—

-50:38 "you are a good person" "i am?" you can hear my heart shatter. "yes you are" "i don't think so sam" "i do, even if you don't" "i really don't think so" and there it goes again

-51:25 hello badboyhalo i see you to the left of ranboo

-52:44 "but then my curiosity got the best of me" curiosity killed the cat, bitch

-52:54 "there's ninety three, ninety four, ninety- theres so many reasons!" SEE!! NOT ONLY ARE THERE THAT MANY LESSONS THERE ARE REASONS THAT CORRESPOND IM S O SMART—

-52:56 "i don't want to remember anymore!" *quietly brings forth my theory that when ranboo loses a canon life his memory gets wiped*

-53:13 "ive opened pandora's box" isn't the prison?? literally called pandora's VAULT??? so this m a y be a stretch but i'm thinking that maybe this could be taken in the literal sense that he "opened" the prison and let dream out (the sirens at the end of quackity's stream confirm that dream is indeed out)

-53:42 mans just straight up walked through a ghost i—

-55:37 so are we just gonna ignore the eleventh page of the book? "he's alive, but hopefully soon dream won't be"??? alright nevermind it's most likely bc when tommy came back he recruited ranboo in his plan to kill dream

-55:47 notice how he writes "what am i?" as opposed to "who am i?" no elaboration here idk what it could be

-56:08 just so it's clear for anyone who doesn't know- he's wearing armor at this point, and i'm like 90% sure that when he wears his armor water can't hurt him. and i saw someone say somewhere that like with splash potions when thrown it turns into a gas-like thing? so again, it didn't hurt him, he didn't get hurt. he said in the chill stream that he wasn't comfortable making it where his character had to hurt himself to do that. the thing that causes the enderwalk isn't pain, it's intense and sudden emotions like fear and stress. thank you for coming to my tedtalk.

Best Nation In War Thunder

War Thunder Best Country

Best Naval Nation War Thunder

Best Nation In War Thunder Planes

Part of The Complete Beginner’s Guide

Service dogs are trained to provide assistance and therapy to various people with disabilities. They can aid in navigation for people who are visually impaired, assist a child who is having a seizure, calm a veteran who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and can even dial 911 in the event of an emergency.

Welcome to the Critical Condition web site. For those of you unfamiliar with Critical Condition, let me give a little background. Critical Condition (CritCon for short) was started as a small bi-monthly newsletter in 1982 to alert my friends about the new horror films that were released to theaters.

Germany: Now Germany is one of the better nations in the air, if you know how to play them right. Germany is primarily an energy fighter and boom and zoom nation. Fw 190s are NOT meant to turn fight, they suck at it. Use their great roll rate in case someone gets on your tail.

There are no terrible choices when it comes to picking a country to play in War Thunder, each one has strengths and weaknesses. If you’re feeling patriotic you can go for your own nation (if it’s in the game) or if you have a particular favourite aircraft then go for the appropriate country and work up to it (or enjoy it right away, if you happen to be especially keen on the P-26 Peashooter). It’s not as if you have to religiously stick to playing one country either, playing two or three (or all five) countries is good for mixing up play styles to keep things fresh, learning about the strengths and weaknesses of a variety of planes, and allowing aircraft of one nation to repair over time while playing another. The following only covers aircraft, I’m afraid I haven’t really been keeping up with the relative strengths of tanks.

The USSR

If you have no strong preference then starting off with the Soviet Union isn’t a bad idea; you get a bonus premium aircraft for the first country you fly with, and the I-153 that the USSR get is a great plane, very handy to be able to put straight into service without having to research and unlock it. The Soviet tech tree is extensive, with a couple of decent lines of fighters and good jet options in the end game with the MiG-17 fighter and Il-28 bomber. They have a wide range of light bombers/ground attackers, including the iconic Il-2 Sturmovik, and both medium and heavy bomber options. About the only area they’re really lacking are heavy fighters, the Pe-3 series are pretty lacklustre, but the Yak-9T/K with 37mm and 45mm cannon respectively are brutally effective against bombers.

The UK

War Thunder Best Country

Britain is another good option for starting players, with some excellent fighters once you get past the biplanes. The Hurricanes are an early workhorse, Spitfires are highly manoeuvrable and well suited to turning dogfights (except against the Japanese) and the Typhoons and Tempests have good speed and firepower. Their jets struggled a little at the top end when only the Meteor was available, but the Venom and Hunter are more powerful post-war options. For bombing the Blenheim and Beaufort are fine in Rank I, but things tail off a bit with the Wellingtons in Ranks II and III, which are rather vulnerable to the cannon-packing fighters they almost invariably come up against, then pick up again with the two Lancasters that, thanks to Update 1.43, can now carry some of the heaviest bomb loads in the game as they did historically, and the Canberra jet bomber. You also have plenty of torpedo bombing options, starting very early with the venerable Swordfish, but without being able to specifically choose maps featuring shipping targets it’s a roll of the dice as to whether you can actually use them – at least until naval battles might be an option!

The USA

The USA takes a little while to get going. In Arcade mode particularly the favoured US armament of .50 calibre machine guns are at a bit of a disadvantage once everyone else is tooling up with 20mm cannons; though .50s certainly can be effective, especially with later incendiary rounds, you’ll generally need to get more hits in to bring something down, increasing the likelihood of someone else “helpfully” swooping in on your target. The 37mm cannon of the P-39/63s perhaps overcompensates, though, it’s devastating when it hits, but the slow rate of fire and high recoil makes it a little trickier to use, better suited to bomber hunting than fast moving dogfights. The USA have some strong later fighters, and a good selection of jets including several F-86 Sabre variants at the top of the tree. They’re a sound choice for heavy bombers with three B-17 variants and the B-24, sacrificing bomb load compared to the British Lancasters for more defensive turrets, then the B-29 with the largest bombloads in the game, though it’ll take a while to get up to mid-Rank III to start researching them; along the way the A-20 and B-25 are decent medium bomber/attackers with plenty of machine guns for strafing. The F6F and P-47 fighters are also notable for the quantity of ordnance they can carry for ground attack if you like a fighter/bomber role.

Germany

Germany also has strong fighters in the mid-to-late game, but their Rank I options tend to be sluggish, lightly armed or Italian (in some cases, all three); I’d suggest getting the hang of the game with other countries first. Things pick up markedly in Rank II with the introduction of the Bf 109 and Fw 190 series, and they also have the widest range of rocket and jet fighters. Initially there’s a selection from World War II (the Me 163, Me 262, He 162 and Ho 229 “flying wing”) which are in a slightly awkward place for matchmaking, where they outperform Allied propeller-driven contemporaries but are inferior to post-war Soviet and US jets, so to give Germany a viable end-game option Update 1.39 added both a Canadian-built Sabre and a MiG-15, as operated by the West and East German air forces respectively in the late 1950s. Germany also has a good range of heavy fighters from the Bf 110 to the Me 410s, and plenty of early bombing options with numerous variants of the Ju 87 Stuka for dive bombing, and the He 111, Ju 88 and Italian S.79 series of medium bombers. There aren’t any heavy bombers later on, though the Do 217 series of medium bombers can carry pretty heavy loads once upgraded and deliver them with precision in a dive; at the top of the tree the Ar 234, the first operational jet bomber, has its historical advantage of speed somewhat negated, as it usually faces jet opposition.

Japan

Japan has the most agile fighters in the game with the nimble Ki-43 and the A6M Zero line, though they are a bit fragile. The later Ki-84 and N1K are good all-rounders, and there are also heavier options with the big-cannon packing Ki-45 and -102 heavy fighters, handy for taking down enemy bombers. Bombing-wise the H6K is quite a fun early bomber to start with, it carries a large payload for a Rank 1 aircraft, can absorb a lot of incoming fire (especially from small calibre machine guns) and has plenty of turrets including a 20mm cannon to ward off attackers; the downside is that handles like a boat with wings, probably because it *is* a boat with wings. Going up the tree the later bomber line is a little lacking in terms of payload, but turrets with 20mm cannon at least give them a bit of a defensive option. The Japanese tree is a little sparse, the smallest in the game, and Rank V has to be padded out somewhat with prototypes and experimental designs due to the lack of competitive late-war historical aircraft, though at least Update 1.39 gave them a viable end-game option in the form of another Sabre that saw post-war service.

TheSeaVoices Drawing Playlist

A mixture of drawing moods, themes and favourites, not necessarily relevant lyric-wise but all very carefully selected for zero frustration - maximum flow, and perhaps an element of sexiness?

If you want a 43 track playlist for drawing or painting to - this works :)

-

1- Wallowa Lake Monster, Sufjan Stevens

Fucking love the fucking lyrics! Beautiful story and atmosphere and voice. I hadn’t listened to Sufjan much before watching Call Me By Your Name and just caning Visions of Gideon for weeks after.

2- Experiment In Terror, Henry Mancini

From the 60’s noir thriller of the same name - so stylish and cool - what a soundtrack sir! I love the slow threat and slinkiness.

3- My Body, Perfume Genius

Similar slink here, dirty kind of glide. Have seen PG a couple of times live and just ABSORBED it into my soul - he dances up there like a beautiful table-dancer and the crowd is moving with him - always good albums to paint to.

4- Danke Schoen, Wayne Newton

Turn this way up! 21 year old Wayne blasts this out like a genius - his voice is amazing and so feminine. I know it from Ferris Bueller's Day Off originally where it is put to very good use.

5- My Little Brown Book, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane

I can listen to Duke Ellington all day every day, those brushy cymbals in this are so lazy cool. That’s the third sixties song so far.

6- One More Kiss Dear, Vangelis

Bladerunner, one of my favourite films.  WHAT A FUCKING SOUNDTRACK! This song was an accidental recording sung for the demo by Don Percival (not the intended singer) and the weird spooky vocal just worked for the mock vintage sound.

7- Verbarhemiopia, Ed Dowie

Released through Lost Map Records. I know these people and they always have great acts - I had a lot of exceptional experiences on the Inner Hebridean island of Eigg with them. This track is just a beautiful, pulsing moonbeam.

8- Just Like Honey, The Jesus and Mary Chain

Such a sleazy, druggy, sexy song - dirty guitar and sensual drums - the opening drum intro, borrowed from (another 60’s track), Be My Baby by The Ronettes coming up on this list at number 38.

9- Grid, Perfume Genius

I rec the video!

10- Here, Pavement

Oh Pavement - a big part of my identity! - Live, they are a fucking dream! This song is a regular ear worm.

11- Demon Host, Timber Timbre

Great lyrics, great album

12- Animal Friends, P-ano

The only song I’m into on this album, the atmosphere is great. A sad little song.

13- Sleepwalk, Santo and Johnny

1959 so lets call it 60’s again XD. A great instrumental - that slide, steel guitar sound is lush and the asmr trigger of my dreams

14- Hang Out The Stars In Indiana, Al Bowlly

MY FAVOURITE SONG OF ALL FUCKING TIME. I can and do listen to this on repeat all through a drawing even if it takes a day. Withnail & I introduced me - one of my favourite films. And, of course Bowlly is on The Shining too.

15- Wasted Teens, Monoganon

Meganhinga chilensis

By Ripley Cook 

Etymology: The Great Darter

First Described By: Alvarenga, 1995

Classification: Dinosauromorpha, Dinosauriformes, Dracohors, Dinosauria, Saurischia, Eusaurischia, Theropoda, Neotheropoda, Averostra, Tetanurae, Orionides, Avetheropoda, Coelurosauria, Tyrannoraptora, Maniraptoromorpha, Maniraptoriformes, Maniraptora, Pennaraptora, Paraves, Eumaniraptora, Averaptora, Avialae, Euavialae, Avebrevicauda, Pygostaylia, Ornithothoraces, Euornithes, Ornithuromorpha, Ornithurae, Neornithes, Neognathae, Neoaves, Aequorlitornithes, Ardeae, Aequornithes, Suliformes, Anhingidae

Status: Extinct

Time and Place: 17 to 14 million years ago, in the Burdigalian to Langhian ages of the Miocene 

Meganhinga is known from the Malla-Mall Member of the Cura-Mallín Formation 

Physical Description: Meganhinga was, in a lot of ways, essentially just a scaled-up version of the birds we know today as Darters - it had a long body, with a very long neck, small head, and long pointy beak. This was similar in every way to living Darters. It was quite long for a darter, about a meter long, which is about as big as they get today (but usually living Darters are much smaller). But, notably for Darters, it had quite small wings indeed. This means that Meganhinga was, above all, a flightless bird.

Diet: Meganhinga probably fed on fish and other vertebrates, like its living relatives; its uncertain if it was able to dive as well as its living relatives, so its possible it relied more on land life than its living relatives.

Behavior: Meganhinga, being flightless, probably would have spent more of its time on land grabbing food than living relatives. Still, despite this, it would have spent much of its time by the shoreline, diving into the water and searching for food. Its long neck could be darted out to grab food, including fish, as it would stand on the shoreline. It would probably breed in colonies, and it seems most likely that they would have been somewhat monogamous in breeding habits like living Darters.

Ecosystem: Meganhinga lived in a lake and river basin near the coast, filled with plenty of aquatic places for Meganhinga to find food. This freshwater basin was created by extensive volcanic activity, which would have decided affected the ecology and creatures living there. Many different kinds of animals resided here with Meganhinga, though most were mammals; creatures such as Toxodonts, Astrapotherium, marsupials like Polydolops, the fascinating Mylodontid sloth Nematherium, a glyptodont, Protypotherium, a wide variety of rodents, and other creatures all populated the valley. Despite this, there doesn’t really seem to be another bird from this formation known at this time.

Other: Meganhinga is quite distinctive for being, possibly, the oldest known species of Darter, which makes the fact that it is quite weird compared to living darters very noticeable. In fact, a variety of large, flightless Darters from the Miocene have been found - Meganhinga, Macranhinga, and Giganhinga - all from the are of Chile in the Miocene. This indicates flightlessness was a major lifemode for Darters prior to modern times. Interestingly enough, some phylogenies indicate modern darters evolved from these forms, meaning that these flightless birds re-evolved flying ability in response to environmental factors.

[notesonfilm1]

  Burt Lancaster got his contract with Hal B. Wallis at Paramount on the basis of a test directed by Byron Haskin with Wendell Corey and Lizabeth Scott for Desert Fury. Lucky for him, the film was not ready to shoot for another six months and he was able to fit in Robert Siodmak’s The Killers(1946)  for producer Mark Hallinger at Universal beforehand. Desert Fury started shooting two weeks before the release of The Killers but there were already whisperings of Lancaster as a big new star, and the whisperings were so loud that Hallinger gave him first billing and a big publicity build-up rather than the little ‘and introducing….’ title at the end of the credits that was then typical, and is indeed the billing offered Wendell Corey in Desert Fury as you can see in the poster above. Before Desert Fury started shooting, Hal Wallis knew he had a big fat star on his hands and that his part had to be beefed up so as to capitalise on it.

By the time the film was released on September 24th, 1947,, Burt Lancaster was the biggest star in the film. The Killers hit screens on the 29th of August 1946. As Kate Buford writes, Ít was an extraordinary debut for a complete unknown. Overnight he was a star with a meteoric rise ¨faster than Gable´s, Garbo´s or Lana Turner,¨as Cosmopolitan said years later (Buford, loc 1260). In New York the movie, ‘played twenty-four hours a day at the Winter Garden theatre, ‘where over 120,000 picture-goers filled the 1,300 seat theatre in the first two weeks, figures Variety called “unbelievably sensational.”‘ Brute Force was the fourth film Lancaster made, after I Walk Alone, but it was the second to be released, on June 30th 1947. According to Kate Buford, it too ‘set set first-week records at movie houses across the country’ (loc 1412).

  Lancaster’s status as a star is reflected in the lobby card and poster above, where in spite of being billed third, what´s being sold is what Burt Lancaster already represented, the publicity materials giving a false impression that he is much more central to the narrative than is in fact the case. His image dominates in both, and even the tag lines are attributed to him: ‘I got a memory for faces…killer´s faces…Get away from my girl…and get going’, is the tagline in the lobby card. The text on the poster reads, ´Two men wanted her love…the third wanted her life.

  In the ad below, he´s billed second, as ´the sensation of The Killers, Dynamite with the fuse lit’

When trying to recapture a past moment in relation to cinema, it´s often useful to look at trailers and other paratextual publicity materials. Trailers hold and try to disseminate the film´s promise to viewers. Of course, its purpose is to sell, to dramatise its attractions so that viewers will go see it. And of course, they often lie, dramatising not what is but what they hope will sell. That said, those promises, lies and hopes are often very revealing.

  As you can see above, the trailer is selling melodrama — violent passions — in a magnificent natural setting filmed in Technicolor. Burt Lancaster’s name is only mentioned 39 second into the 1.41 trailer, after Lizabeth Scott with her strangeness and her defiance of convention and after John Hodiak with his secrets and coiled snakeyness. And Lancaster’s introduced as ‘hammer fisted’ Tom Hanson, erroneously giving the impression that this will be an action film. But note too that by the end of the trailer, Lancaster is given top billing.

According to Kate Buford, in Burt Lancaster: An American Life, Lancaster thought ‘Desert Fury would not have lunched anybody’, later ‘dismissing it as having ‘starred a station wagon’ (loc 1157). The film is really a series of triangles: Eddie (John Hodiak) and Tom (Burt Lancaster) are both in love with Paula (Lizabeth Scott), Fritzy (Mary Astor) has already had an affair with Tom who is currently pursuing an affair with her daughter Paula, Paula and Johnny (Wendell Corey) are both in love with Eddie etc. I have made a not-quite-video essay that nonetheless well illustrates the Johnny-Eddie-Paula triangle, surely one of the queerest of the classic period, which can be seen here:

Tom is really a fifth wheel in the narrative. But by the time the film started shooting, Burt Lancaster was already the biggest star in it.  His part was beefed up to take his new status into account, scenes were added, According to Gary Fishgall, the film was based on a 1945 novel, Desert Town by Ramona Stewart, and ‘ Lancaster’s role was an amalgam of two of the novel’s characters: the embittered, sadistic deputy sheriff, Tom Hansen, and a likeable highway patrolman named Luke Sheridan. Neither character was romantically linked to Paula (p.55). But in the film, he ends up with Lizabeth Scott at the end. All these additions probably contributed to the film seeming so structurally disjointed.

In Desert Fury Tom, a former rodeo rider, just hangs around waiting for Paula to get wise to Eddie, leaving her enough rope to act freely, as he does with colts when taming them, but not enough so that she hangs herself, or so he thinks. Really, he’s extraneous. He gets to walk into the sunset with Paula at the end of the film but the film really ends once Paula and Fritzy kiss, on the lips. He certainly doesn’t get much to do during it, except for a couple of great scenes where Fritzy tries to buy him into marrying her daughter (above) and another bit of banter when she thinks he’s come to accept her offer (below). Mary Astor steals both scenes. In fact she steals everything. Every time she appears, her wit, weariness, intelligence, the intensity of her love for her daughter — she lifts the film to a level it probably doesn’t deserve to be in. But Lancaster is good. These are the only scenes in the film where he looks like he’s enjoying himself.

Tom is the closest the film has to a ´normal character’. Indeed, aside from the character he plays in All My Sons (1948) this is the closest he’d come to such a type during the whole of his period in film noir in the late 40s and which includes all of his films up to The Flame and the Arrow in 1950. Even in Variety Girl, which is an all-star comedy where he and Lizabeth Scott spoof  the hardboiled characters they’re associated with, the surprise is that they’ve already created personas to spoof in such a short time (see below).

    According to Fishgall, ‘Lancaster –billed third before the film’s title — acquitted himself well in the essentially thankless other man’ role. Still, if Desert Fury had marked his screen debut as originally planned, it is unlikely that he would have achieved stardom quite so quickly. Not only did the film lack the stylish impact of The Killers, but so did the actor. Without the smouldering intensity of the Swede and his first pictures’ moody black and white photography, he appeared to be more of a regular fellow, and guy-next-door types rarely become overnight sensations’ (p. 67).

In Desert Fury we’re told that unlike the drugstore cowboys who are now criticising him, Tom used to be the best rodeo rider there was but a while back, whilst wrestling a steer, he got thrown off and is now all busted up inside. Being ‘busted up inside’ is what all the characters Burt Lancaster plays in the late ’40s have in common. He thinks of returning to the rodeo all the time but knows he can never be as good. He used to be a champ, now all he can hope for is to be second best. He knows he ‘ain’t got what it takes anymore’. He’s in love with Paula and she knows it. But she doesn’t know what she wants. He think he does: ‘you’re looking for what I used to get when I rode in the rodeo.  The kick of having people say “that’s a mighty special person” I’d like to get that kick again. Maybe I can get it with just one person saying it’. He will, but he’ll have to wait until the end of the movie.

But even in this,  Lancaster doesn´t play entirely nicey-poo, true-blue, throughout, and his Tom is given moments of wanton bullying and cruelty where he gets to abuse Eddie just because he’s a cop and wants to. And it´s interesting that it´s that moment, which jives so well with the ´brute force´Lancaster was already known for, and which would attach itself to his persona for many a year, that is the one chosen for the trailer.

According to Robyn Karney, in Burt Lancaster: A Singular Man, ‘As the straightforward moral law officer in a small Arizona town who rescues the object of his affections from the dangerous clutches of a murderous professional gambler, Burt had little to do other than look strong, handsome and reliable. Despite Wallis’ much vaunted rewrites, the role of the Sheriff Tom Hanson remained stubbornly secondary and uninteresting, with the limelight focused on John Hodiak as the villain, fellow contract players Elizabeth Scott and Wendell Corey’ (p.31).

  I mainly agree with Robyn Karney except for four points, two textual and stated above: the first is that even in this Lancaster is playing a failure, someone once a somebody that people talked about but now all busted up inside; the second is that that element of being ´busted up inside´leads to a longing that gets displaced onto Paula. If the rodeo is what made feel alive and gave him a reason to live before his accident, now it´s Paula, and the idea that she might also be an unobtainable goal  leads to his outbursts of unprovoked violence towards the rival for his affections, Eddie (John Hodiak).

The other two points of interest are extra textual. Desert Fury is gloriously filmed by Charles Lang. A few years later, in Rope of Fury, Lang would film Lancaster as a beauty queen: eyelashes, shadows and smoke, lips and hair (see below):

  Here, even with his pre-stardom teeth and his bird´s nest of a hairdo, Lancaster sets the prototype for the Malboro Man:

He looks good in technicolour, and Lang brings out the blue of his eyes:

  More importantly, the film visualises him, for the first time, as Wester Hero, a genre that would become a mainstay of his career from Vengeance Valley (1951) right through Ulzana´s Raid (1972) and even onto Cattle Annie and Little Britches (1981):

  Desert Fury was not well reviewed. According to the Daily Herald ‘The acting is first-class. But except for Mr. Lancaster as a speed cop, the characters in the Arizona town with their lavish clothes and luxury roadsters, are contemptible to the point of being more than slightly nauseating’ (cited in Hunter p. 27),

The Monthly Film Bulletin labelled the film a western melodrama, claiming, surprisingly, that ‘The vivid technicolor and grand stretches of burning Arizona desert give a certain air of reality to the film’. Hard for us to see this thrillingly melodramatic film, lurid, in every aspect, evaluated in the light of realism. The MFB continued with, ´This reality is however counteracted by the way in which the sharply defined, but extremely unnatural characters act. Everything is over dramatised, and the title is a mystery in that the desert is comparatively peaceful compared with the way the human beings behaved…Lizabeth Scott is suitably beautiful as Paula and Burt Lancaster suitably tough as Tom. (Jan 1, 1947, p. 139)

Thus, we can see that on the evidence above, the film was badly reviewed, Time magazine going so far as to call it, ‘impossible to take with a straight face’ (Buford, loc1293). But Burt Lancaster´s performance was either exempted from the criticism or its faults where attributed to the film rather than to himself. More importantly still, the film was a hit, Burt Lancaster´s third in a row. Finally, as I´ve discussed elsewhere, the film is now considered by many a kind of camp classic,  a leading example of noir in technicolor as well as arguably the gayest film ever produced in the classic period.

ProtoDungeon: Episode II

(Quasi)Daily Updates Thus Far

Hey all!

ProtoDungeon Episode II (TWC prequel) is coming along nicely, and I’m building out a lot of vital systems for it, future episodes, and The Waking Cloak. I also began a sort-of-daily update on the Discord server that I’ve been meaning to post here but keep forgetting to because I am a scattered, scattered person.

Anyway, uh, yeah, there are a lot of these, lol. I’ll try to post these more regularly in the future, but I hope this is fun and informative for those of you who like reading weirdly specific details about gamedev.

Daily Update - May 24, 2019

Summing up what I've already done before today: -Ring mechanics are done -Day, night, and light sensors are done (though don't have any art) -Created an object that will switch day/night

Today: - Reworking my "interaction" code so that you stop walking after interacting with something during the walk state.

Daily Update - May 25, 2019 -Finally resolved the "interact" code by adding a new player state. Now the player actually stops when interacting with objects instead of just walking into them the whole time. -Fixed a small bug where dialogue boxes would show up with the first message already "fast-forwarded" to the end with no sound. -Started working on polishing up the day/night switcher object (this is what the interact code was for). Should be important in this dungeon since the player won't have the cloak!

Daily Update - May 26, 2019 -I tend to take Sundays easy. I worked on a bed sprite for like ten minutes though!

Daily Update -  May 27, 2019 -Added the ring and its upgrades to the test room! We're now technically ready for super early patron alpha testing, which I'll put up sometime in the secret patron channel in the next few days!

Daily Update - May 28, 2019 -Set up the Itch build for pre-alpha patron testing -Worked on figuring out how to clarify the day/night and ring mechanics, visually -Began sketching out dungeon layout, now that I have mechanics set (as opposed to Episode I where I had to retrofit my design a few times after it was mostly done).

Daily Update - May 30, 2019 -Finished the rough draft of the dungeon layout!!!

Daily Update - May 31, 2019 -Finished the second draft of the dungeon map, including several more detailed rooms with puzzle designs

Daily Update - June 1, 2019 - Finished the THIRD draft of the dungeon map, think I've finally got the layout and puzzle locations pretty much settled (it's been a toughie with day/night/dayshift/nightshift)

Daily Update - June 3, 2019 -Updated level 2 of the Ring of Starlight to generate two blocks instead of one block with a dayshift/nightshift effect. This is like what was originally level 3, except the blocks will move in sync with each other -Changed the ring upgrade descriptions. I'm going to try for a more lore-based, somewhat poetic approach for these over a mechanical explanation. (Level 3 is obviously a temporary description) -Pushed the build up to Itch as v0.3.0

For those of you who have access to the pre-alpha and are using the Itch client, updating should be very easy! However, since something got renamed somewhere along the line, you will most likely have to remove the previous version of the game if you don't want it to ask you to select your version when launching the game. I don't think this will happen again... probably. :) I'm still working on the level 3 mechanic, also.

Daily Update - June 5, 2019 -Decided on new lvl3 of the ring -Fixed blocks so they now fall into pits. Long live the king. -Updated Itch app to v0.3.1

Daily Update - June 7, 2019 -Added level 3 of the ring. -Fixed a bug where pushable blocks couldn't be pushed. You had one job, pushable blocks. -Fixed a bug where the player wouldn't fall into a pit after swapping with something that's over the pit. -Fixed a bug where the synced level 2 ring block would not collide with objects when starting from "rest".

Daily Update - June 8, 2019 -Fixed bug where the dialogue box would crash sometimes. I fixed this bug before. I don't know why it came back. The code I used to fix it was gone. Will keep an eye on this code to see if it disappears again. -Updated HUD to display ring and ring level instead of scroll and swap spell level. -Fixed the controls. Space was mapped to both item "A" and item "B", and apparently it doesn't work that way when the item isn't mapped to both slots :P -Fixed a bug where the game would be very, very tiny if it was not in focus when starting in fullscreen mode. I commented out a line of code when updating the application surface resizing and forgot to uncomment it. -Updated v0.3.9 to Itch -Started work on the next draft of the dungeon sketch now that the ring mechanic has been finalized wooooo

Daily Update - June 12, 2019 -Competed new draft of the dungeon, pretty happy with this one. I'll just need to work in the puzzles and make sure the dungeon graph (a la GMTK Boss Keys) works out so players can't get stuck. -Fixed an issue where you could push blocks past the edge of the screen (and a related one where when you tried to do that, you would keep moving through the block while the block stayed still). -Fixed an issue where you could create blocks on top of each other.

Daily Update - June 14, 2019 -Started working on Tiled draft of dungeon -Began experimenting with larger default room sizes. One aspect I liked from Blossom Tales. Still keeping rooms, of course, since that's what counterintuitively makes an overworld feel big, but bumping up their width/height by about 50% each makes them feel that much larger and explorationy. -Updated test room to new room size. -Uploaded v0.3.12 to Itch, which includes the new room size, as well as the fixed bugs from the June 12 daily update

Daily Update - June 16, 2019 -Continued working on Tiled draft of dungeon. Slow work at this stage, but I believe the overall layout is complete. -Started laying out my sticky note version of the dungeon and puzzles. Lots has changed since last time I built puzzles for this dungeon, so reworking it has been fun.

Trying to decide whether the blocks should stay put when you move out the room, or disappear like the Cane of Somaria. Persistent blocks would make for some interesting puzzles.

Also trying to decide how the overworld will map down to the dungeon, since some of the dungeon rooms are a bit small and constrained. I'd like them to line up. Might still make them the same size as the overworld rooms, just with long connecting bits.

Daily Update - June 18, 2019 -Puzzle design is done! -Tiled map draft is coming along much faster now that I know what to fill the rooms with. Already making tweaks to the puzzles (and I'll certainly make more tweaks when building in GameMaker, just how it goes)

Daily Update - June 19, 2019 -Tiled map draft is almost done! Getting verrrry close now.

Daily Update - June 21, 2019 -Tiled map draft is COMPLETE!!!

Daily Update - June 23, 2019 -The actual dungeon in GameMaker is underway and making quick progress. Already improving on the Tiled map, I think! Could be done with the graybox and have it playable for patrons by the end of the week--stay tuned. Lemony Snicket voice "Graybox" here means "with crappy programmer art and white/black tiles"

Daily Update - June 24, 2019 -Made major headway on the dungeon in GameMaker. Very close to wrapping up the graybox tiles, and I've made a bunch of refinements to the existing layout and puzzles!

Daily Update - June 26, 2019 -Layout and graybox tiles are done -Colliders are done -Cliffs are done -Stairs are done -Pits are done -Item upgrades are placed -Some keys are placed -Buttons are placed (not hooked up yet)

Quasidaily Update - June 27, 2019 -Worked on hooking up buttons and bridges and simplified the lvl1 ring room (for me, should be about the same for the player)

Quasidaily Update - June 28, 2019 -Finished doors and hooked up buttons -Fixed various puzzles and rooms that weren't working correctly

Quasidaily Update - June 39, 2019 -Finished the ladder! -Finished bridge collision -Completed... the trap room -Hooked up the doors/buttons I missed (pretty easy to find since I use a red color blend on the offending buttons ingame) I... uh... am just gonna leave that as the 39th Very very close to alpha now, unless those two bugs end up just crushing me

Quasidaily Update - July 1, 2019 -Added day/night blocks -Added a missing teleporter (int/ext door) -Fixed one of the two softlocking bugs (in about 5 minutes)!

Remaining before patron alpha release: -Secret thing -Second bug -Verification that the dungeon is playable from start to finish

Quasidaily Update - July 2, 2019 -The second bug is technically fixed, but it's pretty janky and unpolished. I'll keep working on this tomorrow. -Cleaned up and optimized the block pushing check logic, which had all kinds of duplicate collision checks and wack timers being set all over the place

Quasidaily Update - July 3, 2019 -Finally fixed the second bug. This was a block syncing/pushing issue that would've prevented everyone from completing the dungeon -Began testing the dungeon's playability from beginning to end. Ran into a few more things I fixed:    -Added a level 3 ring upgrade description since it actually does something now    -Some bridges were missing pits under them, so you could walk across even if the bridge wasn't activated.    -Discovered the level 1 and 2 ring blocks don't fall in pits anymore. Oops. Gotta fix this still. Quasidaily Update - July 3, 2019 PART 2 -The dungeon is playable from start to end (except you can't get in the final room yet, but that's a quick fix) -Hooked up MORE buttons/doors that I had missed -Replaced/moved the keys around--I think this will be much more satisfying now -Added the method to get to t h e    s e c r e t Pretty pleased with it this time around--I think it's even more cryptic and fun to discover ehehehe "ehehehe" is to be read with a witch's voice

Quasidaily Update - July 4, 2019 -Tweaked t h e s e c r e t entrance ほほほ -Worked on t h e s e c r e t puzzles.... they're pretty devious お~~ほほほ

Quasidaily Update - July 5, 2019 -Fixed broken challenge puzzle. -Fixed bug with lv1 and lv2 ring mechanics--they weren't falling down pits anymore. That just makes this game way too easy. -Fixed a bug with lv3 ring blocks that was also breaking the challenge puzzle -Added some tiles to cover up my greybox "answers" -This wraps up all the changes for alpha. We'll go live with the alpha for patrons early tomorrow!

Quasidaily Update - July 6, 2019 -Released the patron alpha! Woohoo! Rali has been enjoying it at least/ -Released v0.4.2 update:    -Fixed two unmarked pits. Kinda sucks to fall into the solid ground.    -Game Over now resets only the player, not the entire game.

Quasidaily Update - July 7, 2019 -Released v0.4.4 update:    -Added collision around water bridges so you can't walk on or get trapped on the water...    -Removed a call to GMLive that may be causing a crash on the PlayerEquipmentRingState script.

Quasidaily Update - July 7, 2019 PART DOS Released v0.4.10 update: -Removed "You got a key!" text because... well, it should be obvious. -Do not freeze player on headstone moving. -Fix stutter when a level 0 equipped item is "used." -Made it so you can't push jars and blocks up stairs. They are TOO HEAVY. -Added an escape route to the challenge room so you don't have to throw yourself in a pit to get back to the start if you get stuck. It doubles as a "skip" for one of the puzzles once it has been opened. -Fixed challenge room exit so you don't get trapped. :)

Quasidaily Update - July 9, 2019 -Fixed colors on the east/west player "use ring" sprite so that the night palette shader doesn't miss it (meaning it would render her skin in the day palette) -Updated teleporters to use channel strings so I don't have to manually set the target coordinates for ALL THE TELEPORTERS AAAAAAAH. -Oh, and yeah, most importantly: released v0.5.0 update! Completed dungeon remodel!! It uses the build-a-final-key method like in Episode I. This allowed me to make the dungeon a bit less linear. It also meant I knocked down a wall or two, added another puzzle or two, and all around made something I'm much more satisfied with.

Quasidaily Update - July 10, 2019 Released v0.5.5 update! -Fixed a crash when attempting to push arrows (read: moving toward an arrow while it's trying to kill you). -Toned down the arrow knockback effect -Fixed awkward/slow interaction with arrows knocking you into pits -Shortened room respawn freeze time -Fixed a bug where the player could walk directly into the arrow and avoid taking damage. Pretty sure that's not how arrows work (this was related to the pushing bug above!).

Quasidaily Update - July 11, 2019 -Starting to place actual tiles over the greybox tiles and gosh it's nice to have real art.

Quasidaily Update - July 12, 2019 -Majority of the final tiles have been placed and it looks great. I still need to make a few interior wall sets and a handful of floor tiles. It really brings the dungeon to life

Quasidaily Update - July 14, 2019 -Released v0.6.0!!! I'm very excited about this one because it's the first of the graphics updates. The majority of the basic final tiles have been placed. There are more graphics updates to come (which you'll note if you play this version), but is the biggest of 'em. Looks great in day and night!

Quasidaily Update - July 15, 2019 -Added new one-way-jump wall tiles -Completed secret room tiles and decorations -Added lighter tall grass

Quasidaily Update -  July 16, 2019 -Today was a writing day, mainly. I'd like to have the little snippets of dialogue and bookshelves and so on done in a day or two. It's exciting stuff, showing off the tips of all these icebergs. -Last night I pushed v0.6.4, an update that had lots of good graphics updates. Except I forgot to replace the player back at the start of the level after testing, so neipo had some fun times starting at the END of the level. Fixed and uploaded in v0.6.5!

More! -Uploaded v0.6.6 in which I fixed an arrow issue that I already fixed previously. Except, I had only fixed it for ProtoDungeon I. Which is why @neipo13 ran into it to my great confusion.

More!!! Uploaded v0.6.8:    -Fixed one of the lvl3 ring puzzles so it didn't have a ridiculously easy solution (thanks for finding that, neipo).    -Fixed description of round key.

Quasidaily Update - July 17, 2019 I intended to do some writing today, but I got more excited about something else.... sooooo, cue the upload of v0.6.13 - The Optimization Patch! - in which the average framerate on my dev laptop is now 260fps up from 120fps.  -Moved the half-speed/GIF mode to only be available in debug mode (this was "G" on the keyboard, so people could just press it and not be sure why the game was running so badly).  -Scott's [regular & mod on the server] lappy had major framerate issues running the game, so I did some optimization and found out the pits were accounting for 50% of the time of every single frame. The best part: they only needed to run the offending code ONCE. So I moved that code from the step event to a one-time event and voila, framerate is way more stable.  -Turned off GMLive entirely and added an easy toggle for me. This is very useful during development, but it likes to make lots of calls when turned on.  -Updated the "listener" step event, which was setting a blend mode every single step. In debugger mode, this is so that stuff like buttons and doors turn red if they're not hooked up. Otherwise it "unsets" the blend mode by setting it to -1 every single step (regardless of debug mode). Apparently this has some unexpected overhead, even if the blend mode is ALREADY -1. A quick and easy fix.  -Swapped out the existing (non-moving) tombstone objects for different objects. Almost all of the tombstones were instances of the same object as the ones that move, but that came with a lot of additional overhead (my "listener" object still accounts for a lot of time because it's doing some checking with ds_lists every frame for every listener object; the moving tombstones have listeners, the normal tombstones do not). They're behaving themselves now.

Quasidaily Update - July 18, 2019 Uploaded v0.6.14!  -Fixed up collision in the secret room  -Finished secret room lore dialogue

There's still more writing to do for the headstones, bookshelves, and a certain NPC who isn't in the game yet, but yeah! Getting there!

Quasidaily Update - July 20, 2019 Over the last day or two, I've slowed down a lot--think I'm getting close to burning out, plus not certain I'm satisfied with the story implementation thus far in Episode II (am I too obscure? Revealing too much? Will people care? etc). That said, I've gotten some stuff done, and uploaded v0.6.19  -Fixed some borked collision near the hut (thanks for finding that, Rali)  -Fixed tombstones so they could display text  -Added text to various tombstones >:) (and bookshelves)  -Fixed the interaction check so that you don't interact with objects to the north of you when facing to the east or west.

Today I switched gears and created a batch file that could compile an executable without even opening GameMaker!! This is actually pretty exciting. I could almost, at this point, switch completely to GMEdit, which is significantly faster and more intuitive tham GM workspaces. Oh, and the batch file also uploads the compiled exe to Itch

Quasidaily Update - July 20, 2019 I decided to switch gears again and work on the save game feature. Not done yet, but it IS saving the player/inventory objects, and I'm setting it up to be pretty easily able to take in any set of objects, auto-read all their variables, and set 'em.

Quasidaily Update -  July 22, 2019 Been working on the ol' save system still. It's going well. I had to fight a bit with my camera system (like always lol), and now I'm making sure the ring blocks properly reset--currently they crash the game which isn't quite right...

The system as planned for PDII will essentially be an autosave that triggers on entrance of each room. When loading the game, all solved puzzles should remain solved, and ring blocks should remain in place, and you'll appear at the entrance of whatever room you exited the game from. At some point in a later episode I'll include slots and specific save points not unlike bonfires from Dark Souls

Quasidaily Update - July 23, 2019 Saving and Loading Continued Cleaned up the loading--it would snap you back to the load point and the camera had trouble keeping up. Now it's a nice, clean fade transition with no camera moving around.

What's left: -Properly saving blocks and other puzzle elements. Currently it, uh, duplicates them? So that's nice. -For some reason, the ring itself disappears when you reload the game -Need to set up the fadeout transition so it finishes before puzzle elements get reset and the time of day changes -Set up an autosave on room enter -You can actually get stuck in the first ring room by crossing a bridge and having that bridge disappear behind you, then quitting and loading your save. I'm trying to think of a good way to solve it now and in the future without making it easy to miss setting up something manually.

Quasidaily Update - July 25, 2019 Moar Savingz Ring blocks are finally managing their own order, and it's wayyyyy more stable and uses a ton less code than before. Previously, during the player's "use ring" state, it would call the inventory manager to update the order of the blocks, which it stored in two variables. It worked, but occasionally the order would get really weird and so on, plus it was going to be a nightmare for reloading. The problem is that the inventory manager was holding the ring block IDs in those two variables, and IDs are not guaranteed to be the same on re-run.

Solution: ring blocks get an integer variable that stores their order, called order. When a ring block is created, it tells the other block to update its order. If that order is already 2, destroy it. Simple, and easy to save since it's an int. 

In a pre-quasidaily update today Daniel learns why his ring blocks aren't loading They are And then they're instantly destroying themselves Because of the code he wrote To tell them to destroy themselves Thank you

Quasidaily Update - July 26, 2019 Uploaded v0.6.22, possibly the final 0.6 version since saving is coming sooooooooooon. BUT. Here's what you guys get:    -Fixed some more collisions near the hut (seriously, did I move that entire room over one tile somehow)    -Allow jumping off ANY ledge (WOOO)    -Fixed occasional crash when creating ring blocks

The save/load system is working also, but not available outside of debug mode yet! As far as I can tell everything is saving and loading properly as expected. There are a couple places you can save scum past, and I have a few ideas for handling those, but that probably won't be something I deal with for a bit. However, the player is not currently able to save or load (unless they're in debug mode, as mentioned), which leads me to the next major update I will be working on: M E N U S  and  O P T I O N S

Quasidaily Update - July 27, 2019 I'm 25 minutes through a 70 minute series by FriendlyCosmonaut on a menu system. This is a lot lol.

In the process, I did a little bit of reworking/cleaning on my controls system. I now have some global variables that hold all the currently configured controls, instead of hardcoding the controls into the input manager. This was in preparation to allow control remapping!

Quasidaily Update - July 30, 2019 Been quiet for a few days--hard at work on the new menu system. This one is a doozy, you guys. I haven't done this much straight code on the TWC "engine" since Episode I.... maybe even longer.

Finished the FriendlyCosmonaut series, which was a great foundation. Now I'm building off it (and trying to get tons of parts of it to actually work still). I'd ideally like to have it look a lot like the old mockup from my blog post on difficulty settings (many of those difficulty settings will not be used in ProtoDungeon or TWC).

Here's what I got so far. Still a lot of the FriendlyCosmonaut design in this, which is good, but doesn't quite fit with this game.

brightness/contrast do nothing, window actually works pretty well--unless you change the smoothing size, in which case it starts acting up...

vsync.... I think works? I haven't even tried toggling screenshake I want to use the "bouncing arrows" style from the mockup instead of color, fix the on/off to use arrows instead, fix the sliders so they use pixel arrows instead of drawn circles.... so much left to dooooo I just have to remember it was loading a black screen this morning

Quasidaily Update - August 7, 2019 Been alternating between taking breaks and working furiously on menu stuff, as you can see with screenshots.

Spending a lot of time on remapping. There's a lot to polish here, stuff you might not think about on first glance (What happens if a key is already mapped to another? Do you handle the menu not closing while you're remapping the menu key? Do you handle the menu so it doesn't navigate when mapping the back key? Do you include primary and secondary control sets, and if so, how do you display that clearly? Etc.)

Not all these questions have difficult answers, but they add up. So that's basically all I've been working on for the past week or so :)

Today I got the gamepad up and running and the secondary control set as well. I forgot how good it feels to play the game with a controller vs a keyboard. My wife happily exclaimed "You're playing with a controller!" :D

The secondary control set was a back and forth decision. The deciding factor was mainly wanting to ease the initial "time to start" for different players--so you can move with WASD and the arrow keys, or with the dpad and the stick. I have a pretty good idea how the UI will work for this too, so now that the gamepad is working, I'm gonna start on the secondary controls.

Quasidaily Update - August 11, 2019 -Primary and secondary gamepad button remapping are working -Got some cool new gamepad icons, improved thanks to Corvos -Fixed the menu so you couldn't close it on the menu page when starting the game -Added a second, ingame menu with resume/settings/save & quit as options -The new menu will pause all "actors" (objects with states) -Fixed a bug where the secondary gamepad right input was not mapped

Quasidaily Update - August 13, 2019 -"Defaults" option now works for keyboard and gamepad -Fixed an issue where you couldn't remap some of the secondary keyboard inputs (broke it with the gamepad remapping). -Fixed an issue with the menu arrow being in the wrong place (broke it with the gamepad remapping). -Removed light blue coloring on selected menu items. Judging by other menus, arrow seems to be enough by itself. -When remapping, the current selected control will now blink instead of remaining static. -Made sliders more usable--it wasn't really possible to move them 1% at a time, which was unwieldy and annoying. Now they have a "ramping" speed and are much easier to control.

Quasidaily Update - August 13, 2019, Part II -Toned down the strength of the brightness slider just a bit. -Updated the shaders to affect the GUI as well as the game. This should include the menu as well as the HUD, the dialogue box, and, in TWC, the inventory screen. I kinda like this. We'll see if it bothers people. :D

Quasidaily Update - August 17, 2019 -Fixed an issue with menu sliders not being drawn when the shader is applying to GUI elements. Turns out the built-in line drawing doesn't pass texture information to the shader. At this point I'm not sure how to configure the shader correctly, so I just made the lines into sprites instead lol. -Added title to the top-level menu! Yay! -Fixed game loading so it would load the correct room (both GameMaker room and in-game "area"). -Autosave the game on room entrance. -Autosave the game on getting an item (this way you can't cheese certain rooms). At this point, playing the game, quitting, and coming. back to continue is working REALLY WELL. -No longer save "region" (rooms in the game) objects, since these get created and setup perfectly fine on room creation. -Added SOME SECRETS YAY! -Autosave the game on "teleporting"--going through doors, up/down stairs, etc. -Fixed the "circle out" transition, which was apparently not working or used anywhere. -Changed all "teleportation" to use circle-in/circle-out transitions--a little less visually jarring and much nicer looking than a fade-to-wipe-from-center.

Quasidaily Update - August 19, 2019 -Added tiny pause in the middle of the teleportation transition so that it's a bit less jarring -Simultaneously, allowed toggle to camera easing so that I don't have to add fragile pauses to loading and certain transitions and so on (to wait for the camera to finish moving to catch up with the player loaded position). This fixed a small camera jerk when loading the game. This will eventually be an option on the menu for those that don't like the easing (and also because turning off subpixels makes camera easing REALLY BAD). -Fixed issue with audio groups not loading (by loading them, wow). This is probably temporary since next big task is to add the Wandersong audio engine, but the fix let me actually see my debug messages instead of spamming "Audio Group 2 is not loaded" whenever a sound is played lol. -Fixed bug with loading the game on a teleporter (doors, stairs, etc.) where it would immediately take you to the target location. This had multiple parts, but namely 1) just making sure to set the global "isLoading" flag and to not teleport during that, and 2) setting the "isLoading" flag earlier, since the teleporters were faster than my load manager lol. -Fixed "New Game" issue where it would fade to black, start the game, and then fade to black again. Turns out if you call "fade out" twice, it will fade out twice.

May I write you a Love Note?

About

Because this was fun to do for Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d continue it for a month long challenge :)

One of these will be posted each day for the whole month of May and you all get to choose what the love note consists of.

Just like last time, all characters and prompts are jumbled and assigned a letter or a number, but with a twist. This time there is a bonus prompt category of AUs and I will be listing out the fandoms of the characters included here. Also different is that the Pet Names and the AUs can be claimed by more than one person, but there is still a limit (which is listed with each category). They will also all be kept gender neutral.

Fandoms Used

|| Star Trek, Marvel, DC, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Pete’s Dragon, The Chronicles of Riddick, This Means War, RED, Jurassic World/Park, The Princess Diaries, A Wrinkle In Time, Into The Woods, LoTR, Hell Or High Water ||

Looking at those and knowing me, you can wager a guess as to who all is included in this list. While it is predominately male characters, there are two female characters in the mix. I understand that having it all be a mystery can be frustrating for many who may not have the diverse interest that I have. I would like to remind everyone that I am writing these for everyone to enjoy - this goes beyond just you and me. If you end up with a character you aren’t big on, I won’t be hurt if you decide not to read it. I understand. I will just remind you to keep an eye on the rest of the month to keep an eye out for the other characters to see if there’s one you like :)

Important Info

I will only be accepting asks! One ask per person (for now)!

You can select up to three prompts, but each must be from a different category.

Please check the limits on each category below

When making your ask, please include the following - the letter of the character you want and the number(s) of the prompts you want - if one is claimed then I will let you know so you can make a new decision

You may ask me to pick things for you if you don’t know what to pick

Everything will be marked in the order they come in and not in a random order. This will also how they will be assigned their posting day as well

I need 31 of these...because May has 31 days...

Love ya! ♥

via Politics – FiveThirtyEight

On Tuesday afternoon, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced her plans to open an official impeachment inquiry against President Trump. Although she and others in House leadership positions have resisted opening formal impeachment proceedings for months, a deluge of new calls from more moderate members of her party may have cemented her decision to move forward.

More than two-thirds of the Democratic caucus now favor beginning an impeachment investigation in response to allegations that Trump attempted to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky into investigating former Vice President Joe Biden, and may have threatened to withhold foreign aid.

This is a huge change from the end of July, when we last checked in on where impeachment stood among House Democrats. At that point, just a few days after special counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before two House committees about his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, 109 Democrats were in support of impeachment. Granted, more than half of House Democrats have been in favor of impeachment since early August, but that number has now risen to 179, according to the New York Times,1 which means a solid majority of the Democratic caucus now supports impeachment.

Of course, a lot could depend on how the next few days unfold — in particular, whether the White House turns over the transcript of Trump’s July 25 call with Zelensky or the whistleblower complaint (which the administration has so far refused to share with Congress, despite a subpoena). After all, some moderates have hedged saying they’d support impeachment if the allegations prove true. But if the accusations against Trump are borne out, the remaining Democratic holdouts could face increasing pressure to support the impeachment inquiry — for one thing, Democrats are still short of the 218 votes they need for an impeachment resolution.

So how did we get here? The dramatic uptick in support for impeachment since July is due to two main shifts. First, during the August recess, a steady trickle of Democrats announced their support for impeachment, perhaps in response to pressure from people in their districts. And second, in just the past few days, dozens of Democrats have lined up in support of an impeachment inquiry for the first time, including a significant number from red and purple districts that Clinton either lost or won by 10 points. In fact, more than half of the Democrats who recently joined the pro-impeachment column come from districts that Democrats lost or won by less than 10 percentage points. These are the members who have the most at stake electorally if an impeachment inquiry backfires against Democrats, so their support is especially noteworthy.

This means the base of support for impeachment has become more ideologically diverse. For instance, if we look at the districts where House members now support impeachment, Trump lost these districts in 2016 by around 31 percentage points. But in July, his average loss in these pro-impeachment districts was 38 percentage points, showing that members from more moderate districts have joined the cause. (For reference, Trump lost the average Democratic-held seat by 28 percentage points, and he lost the districts of Democratic members who are currently not supporting impeachment by an average of 18 percentage points.)

And while some moderates have been careful to say their support is conditional on the allegations being true, some potentially vulnerable Democrats seem to be in favor of an impeachment inquiry regardless of what happens next. For example, Rep. Antonio Delgado, who represents a district in upstate New York that Trump won by 7 points in 2016, said that asking the Ukrainian president to investigate Biden was “in itself an impeachable offense.”

The new supporters for impeachment also include a significant number of Democrats from very liberal districts who had previously resisted calls for impeachment. As the table below shows, only 18 Democrats from very liberal districts continue to oppose (or remain undecided/refuse to comment) on impeachment — down significantly from the end of July:

Some recent switchers from the more liberal camp include Georgia civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis, a Pelosi ally who called for impeachment proceedings in a dramatic speech on the House floor on Tuesday, and Rep. Debbie Dingell of Michigan, who had previously argued that impeachment would “tear the country apart.” It seems that for many of these Democrats, the gravity and scale of the allegations against Trump finally outweighed concerns about whether an impeachment push without bipartisan support would be too divisive, or if it would be useless to impeach Trump given that Senate Republicans are highly unlikely to vote to remove him from office. (Although there was a flicker of bipartisan energy in the Senate on Tuesday evening, when a nonbinding resolution calling on the Trump administration to release the whistleblower complaint passed unanimously.)

Opposition to impeachment among Democrats from red and blue districts has also fallen over the past few days, but there are still a significant number who do not represent very liberal districts and who haven’t yet endorsed an impeachment inquiry. Of the 64 Democrats from districts that Hillary Clinton won or lost by 10 points or fewer in 2016, more than half now support impeachment. That’s more than twice as many than at the end of July, but a sizeable chunk still haven’t gotten on board. And as the table below shows, many of these Democrats hail from districts that Clinton lost:

Some of these Democrats may remain wary of embracing impeachment — and that could be tricky for House leadership down the road, if they do decide to pursue an impeachment resolution. But the fact that Democrats like Delgado, Rep. Elissa Slotkin, and Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who are all from districts that Trump won by 7 points in 2016, are newly supporting impeachment could embolden other moderates to join them.

Regardless of what happens next, it’s clear that the political ground on impeachment has shifted dramatically among Democrats in a very short period of time. Even Biden, who previously said that impeachment proceedings would be a “giant distraction,” said that the House should move forward with impeachment if the Trump administration refuses to turn over information about the call with the Ukrainian president. And as FiveThirtyEight’s editor in chief, Nate Silver, wrote Tuesday, pursuing impeachment is a big risk for the Democrats, considering how unpopular it remained throughout the course of the Mueller investigation. But for the first time, the vast majority of House Democrats seem willing to take that risk.

Three years ago today on June 12th, 2016, we watched in horror, as the news broke of the horrific tragedy in Orlando, at a gay nightclub, that had been hosting Latin night that evening.

The body count kept rising. We heard about the cellphones ringing in the pockets of those who would never answer them again.

The Facebook status that Pulse Orlando posted during the massacre still gives me the chills : "Everyone get out of pulse and keep running"

49 people were killed (technically 50, if we include the shooter, which #sorrynotsorry, I don't) and 53 were wounded at the Pulse Nightclub.

Since then countless mass shootings have taken place. I wish I could say we’ve done the victims justice by changing our laws and having more gun regulations, but that simply isn’t true. As a society we’ve become so numb to tragedy. It’s not always a conscious decision to become numb, it’s only human to try and protect yourself from tragedy and chaos. You can however, make the decision to pay attention and care.

49 people will never tell their friends and family how much they love them again, 49 people will never get to celebrate another holiday, 49 people will never be able to go to a gay club and dance again. It’s hard to imagine just how big the impact of something like the Pulse shooting has, but without a doubt it has changed thousands of peoples lives.

These victims deserve so much more. When we take a stand and make our voice heard, we are standing up for these 49 and the countless others who have tragically joined them in the past three years.

They deserve to be remembered:

As we remember those taken from us, take the time to reflect on how the inaction from our elected officials has led to the tragedies we have seen all too often. Reflect on the truth that black lives matter, that shootings in schools, and other places have got to stop, and how a lack of love for each other can lead to a tragedy that stains our communities deeply with that expressed hate.

It's been three years since the Pulse shooting. Since then, gun violence and violence against LGBTQ+ folks has only escalated. In this time of remembrance and grieving we must reach out to each other and show love and compassion.

Do not forget this

Don't let this take away pride from you

Don't let this scare you into hiding

Be careful and be safe

But don't stop existing

Dont stop vocalizing

Defy this shit and the people who spread hatred by being who you are

They cant silence us!

Jan 14 Dancitron Movie Night Gotham 14-16

The night ended up psychologically rougher than Prowl would have liked. An Insecticon showed up. It was survivable, but it made the already hard-to-watch content harder.

But he didn’t have to leave the room. That’s progress.

At this point Prowl’s actively hoping for one of the villains to be playing a wildly manipulative long con, because the alternative is that he’s been successfully brainwashed, and Prowl’s having a hard time facing that idea.

Today NoodlesAtNight 7:34 pm *Soundwave is moving along to the music with an invisible partner while nobody's there, as the place is already set up.* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:34 pm *has no clue what he's BURSTING into but here we go!* NoodlesAtNight 7:35 pm *Soundwave glances at Swoop... and then decides to keep going anyway. He'll ping Swoop a greeting, though.* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:35 pm *chirps reflexively at getting pinged, but immediately continues lookign around for Bird* verdigrisprowl 7:36 pm *oh!! Soundwave's dancing. Prowl's watching.* NoodlesAtNight 7:36 pm *Bird floats on over to Swoop and settles on one shoulder as best she can, using her feelers as make shift legs and claws.* MedicalMurdersaurus 7:36 pm *holds as still as he can until she's got a grip on him* HI, Bird! NoodlesAtNight 7:38 pm *Soundwave bobs his head at Prowl and sends a greeting ping. He starts shifting direction until he heads toward Prowl - and stops on the last note.* [[Good evening.]] *Bunt.* Swervester 7:38 pm [slides in] Wilyyy 7:38 pm *Flops* NoodlesAtNight 7:38 pm {{Hi Swoop.

You can tell despite her lack of expression because she has stopped focusing on literally anything else.*

[[Thank you, Swerve. Most generous.]] Swervester 7:43 pm No problem. I've got a couple hundred from experimenting for like fourteen hours so feel free to just. You know. Take them. NoodlesAtNight 7:43 pm *Soundwave's not going to make Prowl do that in front of everyone if he doesn't want. He might ask for one after everything, though.* Wilyyy 7:43 pm !!!!!!!!

But thanks! skullstronaut 9:41 pm I'm sure they can make another one. NoodlesAtNight 9:41 pm [[He has heard the expression before in the multiverse. It is - there are many reasons why. He assumes the stress of her situation did something, as that was an earlier concern.]] NoodlesAtNight 9:42 pm [[He does not know /how,/ though.]] Swervester 9:42 pm Well, at least he was a clear victim and can't be blamed, I guess NoodlesAtNight 9:42 pm ((whoop forgot the flashing sorry)) verdigrisprowl 9:43 pm Considering that there's a week deadline to get him killed, I doubt it makes much of a difference. Swervester 9:43 pm Why doesn't he sleep with his wife? NoodlesAtNight 9:44 pm [[Because she does not love him.]] skullstronaut 9:44 pm Only his money. NoodlesAtNight 9:45 pm [[...That is kind of him.]] NoodlesAtNight 9:46 pm [[...This car-snatcher is in a wing with murderers?]] SCProwl 9:46 pm Ridiculous. skullstronaut 9:46 pm Could be lying.

I have a suit just like this. opatoes 9:54 pm Except cooler. ... Are those sleeves separate from the overcoat NoodlesAtNight 9:54 pm [[Butch will not be strong enough to hold the underworld if Falcone returns. Intriguing.]] *Sits up more.* [[Oh dear. His father...]] ((no they're just not finished sewn in yet)) opatoes 9:55 pm ((OH oh yeah I was about to be like "a huge fashion statement" Swervester 9:56 pm Isn't he allowed to not attend?

Easier to terminate someone with fewer witnesses, cell bars or not.]] verdigrisprowl 9:58 pm Unless he's alone in his cell with the door locked.

Swervester 10:01 pm I say that having been stabbed before. Oh. So that guy was on his side? Wait SCProwl 10:02 pm He was likely paid by Falcone. NoodlesAtNight 10:02 pm *Tiny applause. Simple but effective ploy.* Swervester 10:02 pm Oh Boomtank 10:02 pm ((shoulda kept the bag zipped MedicalMurdersaurus 10:02 pm ((now is NOT the time to do this)) Boomtank 10:02 pm ((just throw him in there NoodlesAtNight 10:02 pm [[Primus, he's the perfect Autobot.

Is that what you think is the perfect Autobot? verdigrisprowl 10:03 pm ... Of course he's supposed to be there. He murdered someone without a trial.

Swervester 10:07 pm Sadly there won't be one. MedicalMurdersaurus 10:07 pm Autopsy means take apart dead people Swervester 10:07 pm There never is verdigrisprowl 10:07 pm This situation CLEARLY calls for a full autopsy. verdigrisprowl 10:08 pm ... And Penguin is friends with one of the police department's most zealous medical examiners. Swervester 10:08 pm Chances they won't bribe or arrange a corrupt autopsy are low. MedicalMurdersaurus 10:08 pm ((if he doesn't say "go to lee"....)) ((THANK GOD)) Swervester 10:08 pm True tho MedicalMurdersaurus 10:08 pm ((nooooooooo)) verdigrisprowl 10:08 pm What do you mean, "clear my name," you idiot! You're guilty of the crime you were convicted of! You were framed for a second one but you WERE guilty of the first one! Boomtank 10:08 pm -groaning into his hands- Jim.

Did they kill this kid NoodlesAtNight 10:09 pm [[Galavan.]] *Vents.* [[Happiness versus the truth, he supposes.]] Boomtank 10:09 pm -sighs- Swervester 10:09 pm ...this is why you don't still people from hispitals opatoes 10:09 pm He's dead, Jim Boomtank 10:09 pm This show is going to stress me out like this Swervester 10:09 pm //tyujygh NoodlesAtNight 10:10 pm *Rumble throws a snack at Smokescreen's head for that* ((endtime marker: 10:30)) SCProwl 10:10 pm I'm going to guess they'll find a way to clear Jim of all charges, including escaping prison. Boomtank 10:10 pm Probably Agooddistraction858 10:10 pm See ya. Don't think you're not getting smacked, Soundwave. It'll come to ya MedicalMurdersaurus 10:10 pm *could have got more blood guts and gore tonight, but it was passible* NoodlesAtNight 10:10 pm [[He's sure it won't.]] MedicalMurdersaurus 10:11 pm *drops his head down on Bob and starts to zzzzzzzzzzz himself* opatoes 10:11 pm /Smokescreen beeps when the snack hits his head, but picks it up once it's on the ground and eats it./ Thanks Rumble, old buddy! NoodlesAtNight 10:11 pm *Laserbeak motions to Rumble. Help her carry these two Autobot nerds outside so she can get them bridged, huh?* Wilyyy 10:11 pm *and so the friend pile is now a nap pile* NoodlesAtNight 10:11 pm //Uhhh, I ain't yer buddy - but sure, welcome.// Swervester 10:11 pm Need a hand? I gotta get going myself, might as well help take them out. NoodlesAtNight 10:12 pm {{Oh good, yes. You take other side. Bird gets middle.}} Swervester 10:12 pm Sure. opatoes 10:12 pm You gave me a snack. If that's not pal material, I don't know what is. Boomtank 10:12 pm Are you going to be okay carrying them? NoodlesAtNight 10:12 pm *Gleefully* {{You Blaster coming help too?}} Boomtank 10:13 pm Sure. Swervester 10:13 pm [suspicious squint at Laserbeak. They've just been conned into doing all the lifting haven't they] Boomtank 10:13 pm -has no idea what just happened, but okay, something to do- NoodlesAtNight 10:13 pm *You bet your ass.* {{Big bots soooo strong. Bird get out of way, supervising. Big bug, Dinobot too heavy for poor, delicate Bird.}} *She rolls to look cute and moves aside* NoodlesAtNight 10:14 pm *Never mind that she carted a helicopter around like it was nothing* opatoes 10:14 pm But if you say so! I'll probably have to head off soon, anyway. Thanks for the showing, Soundwave! Boomtank 10:14 pm -snorts- Swervester 10:14 pm [snorts but starts lifting pile] Sure not too delicate for all those snacks tho, are you? NoodlesAtNight 10:14 pm [[You're welcome, Smokescreen.]] SCProwl 10:14 pm *snorts in amusement at Laserbeak* Boomtank 10:14 pm -just going to try and help where he can- NoodlesAtNight 10:14 pm *She rounds on Swerve at that. For a split second there's the sound of her lasers powering up - but then she brightens and acts chipper again.* {{It not thaaaaat many.}} Swervester 10:15 pm Well, I *suppose* I can leave them here for you then. NoodlesAtNight 10:16 pm *Affected gasp of "surprise"* {{Reaaaally? Bar bot is good bot, very good. Bird thanks bar bot much~}} *Whistlechirp.* Swervester 10:17 pm [excellent, now he doesn't have to worry about Magnus being on his case for expired snacks when he's inevitably unable to pawn them off on customers] Sure thing. Boomtank 10:17 pm Hey, how hard of a sleeper do you think they are? NoodlesAtNight 10:17 pm {{Oh, him Swoop like dead thing.}} {{Him brothers roll on. It not waking him.}} Boomtank 10:17 pm ...that does explain a few things Swervester 10:17 pm Unsurprising. How far out the door? NoodlesAtNight 10:18 pm *She floats close to the door to give the outside world a critical eyeing. ... How far can she get these nerds to go?* {{...You walk them two two hundred feet. That safe distance.}} Swervester 10:19 pm [He's gonna look to Soundwave for confirmation] NoodlesAtNight 10:19 pm *Oh, Soundwave will nod. He won't spoil his precious Laserbeak's game.* Swervester 10:19 pm [he should have known better][ NoodlesAtNight 10:20 pm *It IS a safe distance. He just won't say that there's any shorter one that's also safe.* Boomtank 10:20 pm -doesn't believe a word of it, but it'll give him room to leave afterwards- Swervester 10:21 pm [He'll get Soundwave back later probably. but for now, 200 feet it is] NoodlesAtNight 10:21 pm *Soundwave will honestly be disappointed if Swerve doesn't try.* [[Thank you for your assistance, Blaster, Swerve. Have a good evening.]] Boomtank 10:22 pm Good night, Soundwave Swervester 10:22 pm You too! Have fun. Laserbeak lemme know which snacks end up being your favorite, we'll see if I can make more. [waves and heads out] Rumble too, if he wants any snacks. NoodlesAtNight 10:22 pm *She will tell him ALL about them as they go out. ... And now so will Rumble, who brightens almost as much as she does while hoisting up the feet end.* SCProwl 10:24 pm *will head out as well with pings to the people remaining in the room still* NoodlesAtNight 10:24 pm *Soundwave just shakes his head and huffs to himself as they're all going. Goodnight, SCProwl.* verdigrisprowl 10:26 pm *bob's gone. for the first time all night, loosens his death grip on soundwave's arm.* NoodlesAtNight 10:27 pm *Soundwave doesn't even wiggle it to bring sensation back into it. Why would he? There's not a whole lot of it to get back in the first place.*

*Instead, he shifts to face Prowl, one leg curled on the sofa and sticking out, the other foot planted on the floor.*

[[You made it.]] *He says nothing else, just watching and waiting to see if Prowl decides to say or request or maybe even scream something.* verdigrisprowl 10:28 pm *the longest exhale ever* *hold on. still sighing.* *stiiiill sighing.* verdigrisprowl 10:29 pm *okay. he's empty now.* NoodlesAtNight 10:30 pm *A nod. That's roughly as stressed as he thought Prowl might have gotten, yes.*

[[Is it of any help to you through your avatar if he makes it cooler in here?]] *Since Prowl might've been holding his vents, and all.* verdigrisprowl 10:31 pm ... I think I'd like to feel cold. *it's not quite the question Soundwave was aiming for, but it sounds appealing all the same.* NoodlesAtNight 10:32 pm *Soundwave mouth twists with a hint of confusion as he tries to puzzle out whether there's anything more to that statement than a yes.* NoodlesAtNight 10:33 pm *...If there is, he doesn't understand what it might be, so he'll go with what he has on hand right now.* [[Would you prefer to stay here and be cold or move somewhere else where it is cold?]] verdigrisprowl 10:34 pm If I'm going to be cold, I'd better leave and do it on my own, hadn't I? *he's not going to make Soundwave suffer.* NoodlesAtNight 10:35 pm [[He knew what he was asking when he asked it. You do not have to do that.]] verdigrisprowl 10:37 pm You don't have to be cold on my behalf. verdigrisprowl 10:38 pm *... hey. now's his chance.* *gets up and starts cleaning* NoodlesAtNight 10:39 pm [[He has several warming items, and he is sure Laserbeak and the twins would enjoy the opportunity to be cold as well. The three of them run particularly hot by nature. He would prefer to be cold for a short while than send you away on your own after tonight.]]

*Pause.* [[...Why are you cleaning?]] verdigrisprowl 10:40 pm Because you started cleaning at my movie night. *he's gonna be a helper goddammit* NoodlesAtNight 10:40 pm *Head tilt.* [[He doesn't follow.]] verdigrisprowl 10:42 pm ... I want to help you clean up after movie night. NoodlesAtNight 10:45 pm [[Oh! ... Even though it is not his night?]] verdigrisprowl 10:46 pm ... Not your night for what? NoodlesAtNight 10:47 pm [[For cleaning after movie night. He wasn't on the schedule for it.]] verdigrisprowl 10:47 pm ... Then I'm doing someone else a favor. *he's gonna Keep Cleaning.* NoodlesAtNight 10:49 pm *That's even more puzzling, but all right.* [[Chimera will be pleasantly surprised.]] *Well, he's not going to make Prowl do all of it alone. Time to get up and help. Maybe quietly lower the first floor's thermostat. Just a touch!* verdigrisprowl 10:49 pm *chimera is tiny, it's easier for prowl.* *... tiny but flexible. /probably/ easier for prowl.* NoodlesAtNight 10:51 pm [[...Do you happen to find this soothing? Buzzsaw is like that. He scrubs like a wild mech when infuriated - after he stops throwing his supplies around, that is.]] verdigrisprowl 10:51 pm Sometimes. *he's hoping he will tonight.* I would have helped clean anyway. NoodlesAtNight 10:54 pm [[...Sometimes he wonders if he throws them around so he'll HAVE something to scrub.]]

*Slowly putting chairs back.* [[He appreciates that.]] *...And now he's curious.* [[When he helps you at the library - do you mind that? Or is that interfering with - that is, do you need to do that after the crowds...?]] verdigrisprowl 10:55 pm I know where the chairs go and I know if any of the fuel needs to be moved in a particular way, but trash is trash and goes in the trash. NoodlesAtNight 10:57 pm [[No, no. To relax. Like this, tonight. You've told him before that you do not really like crowds, and your movie nights have had... ah. Strange incidents. Recently.]] verdigrisprowl 10:57 pm Oh. No. verdigrisprowl 10:58 pm It's a bit— *hold on, he's searching for a word.* ... annoying, that for ages you insisted I sit on a couch useless watching while you cleaned after your streams, but immediately started cleaning at mine. NoodlesAtNight 10:59 pm *Soundwave turns a couch onto its side with his feelers so he can have something to lean on while he considers that.* NoodlesAtNight 11:03 pm [[Hm. He is not in the habit of giving up control of certain things in or about his home. It is why he generally does not allow the others to help unless the mess is too tiresome to deal with alone. And with the library being a public space...]] *Folds his arms atop the couch.* [[But you /are/ still the host. And he expects the library would only come after you if he made a hash of it.]] *Drums his fingers. Thinking.* verdigrisprowl 11:03 pm Ah. verdigrisprowl 11:04 pm *well that's that explained, then.* NoodlesAtNight 11:04 pm [[...He is sorry. It should still be your right to decide how the room you are temporarily responsible for is handled.]] *That is his decision. He nods and stands up again.* verdigrisprowl 11:08 pm *nods* Just let me bridge the couches and check with me before moving the fuels, some of Mixmaster's brews are temperamental. NoodlesAtNight 11:09 pm [[He also assumed you would appreciate it because of Jazz's invitation and the nature of musical gigs. A surprise, of sorts. But perhaps that should more correctly fall under the umbrella of his older, worse habits? Activities performed for your perceived benefit without asking... Hm. He will think about that.]] *He flips the couch right side up again and keeps working.* [[Are they safe, by the way? He has thought about testing them, but-- well.]] verdigrisprowl 11:11 pm I'd appreciate asking before assuming, in the future. Mixmaster's brews? *Prowl makes a so-so gesture.* I'd sip. NoodlesAtNight 11:12 pm *Seems he was right about that. All right, better to ask about how to go about a good intention than to guess and step on a potential land mine. He can go along with that. He'll nod to it.*

[[Only sip? Unpleasant to drink at length, then? Or too powerful?]] verdigrisprowl 11:13 pm Too unknown. NoodlesAtNight 11:13 pm [[...Excuse him for saying so, but that /is/ somewhat alarming.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:14 pm [[Does he expect you to report back the results of the guests' ingestion of them...?]] verdigrisprowl 11:14 pm He doesn't send /inherently/ dangerous stuff. But I'd still sip. NoodlesAtNight 11:17 pm [[Ah. So noted. And mildly disappointing.]] *Inspects a cracked floor panel where Swoop and the others were piled up. Probably just wear and tear; those three aren't heavy enough to do that just by laying on it. They'll have to replace that one tomorrow.* [[It is difficult to make plans concerning experiments with tipsiness when one does not make a habit of drinking one's own product.]] verdigrisprowl 11:18 pm Generally the only question he asks when I get back is "which ones did they like". NoodlesAtNight 11:19 pm [[Oh, no. Not Mixmaster's. His own.]] *Half-sparked wave at the bar.* [[But that is less investigative than he would have expected. Odd.]] verdigrisprowl 11:19 pm Oh. verdigrisprowl 11:20 pm ... Would you like help experimenting with tipsiness? NoodlesAtNight 11:21 pm [[...If you are offering, considering you would potentially be involved at a later stage if he identified a tolerable level and method of reaching it.]] verdigrisprowl 11:23 pm I /am/ offering. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I have more experience with it than you? NoodlesAtNight 11:26 pm [[He has no reason to correct you. His interest is entirely your doing. You have placed before him something he personally knows nothing about, and that simply will not do. The curiosity has been eating him alive for months.]] *Taps a finger to his lips and frowns slightly, then shakes his head and sits down.* [[That, and what it would feel like to experience even half of what you do, but he is still waiting on those holomatter additions, so there is no use getting fired up about /that/ business yet.]] verdigrisprowl 11:27 pm ... Have you never been drunk, or...? *he remembers that story about drunkenly singing along at a symphony, but never saw a confirmation as to whether it was true or not.* NoodlesAtNight 11:28 pm [[Oh, he has been a /few/ times. Mostly against his will. It generally hasn't done much for his reputation. You /did/ see the symphony story...?]] verdigrisprowl 11:28 pm So that /was/ the true one. NoodlesAtNight 11:30 pm [[Of course it was. He gave incorrect numbers. The other one was a /blatant/ lie.]] *Folding his hands over his abdomen and smiling like a shark at a fish buffet* [[He slaughtered the minicon trader himself.]] verdigrisprowl 11:31 pm "Of course," you say, like you couldn't have changed it from a symphony to an opera and then later crowed about how that one was obviously false. verdigrisprowl 11:32 pm *he's wise to your games* NoodlesAtNight 11:34 pm *An even bigger smile now. He's either about to start silently belly laughing or eat someone's whole face in one bite. /Probably/ the first one.* [[You are quite the fast learner.]] verdigrisprowl 11:35 pm Just trying to keep up. NoodlesAtNight 11:35 pm [[If a little bitter about the Hydrax Trax answer, he thinks.]] *And there it is. Shaking.* verdigrisprowl 11:36 pm *he'll just watch. and try not to smile too much.* ... A little. NoodlesAtNight 11:38 pm [[Take it as a compliment.]] *Motions for Prowl to come sit with him. On him? On him. A lap tap. * [[The only way he can stop you catching up to him is to play dirty tricks - and one day, even those may not be enough.]] *Thought in the most admiring tones, not in overly concerned ones.* verdigrisprowl 11:39 pm If YOU run out of new dirty tricks to use on me, I'll officially be the most savvy cop Cybertron has ever seen. *he's taking that lap sit* NoodlesAtNight 11:48 pm [[Flatterer.]] *Settles his hands on Prowl's lower back. He sends that keysmash of a serious/humor mark and immediately follows it with this quiet thought:* [[He will have to stay in top form, then. What kind of amica would he be if he did not help you achieve that status?]] *Soundwave offers the opportunity for a nuzzle.* verdigrisprowl 11:49 pm I try. *he really IS trying. you wouldn't believe the calculations that went into that one sentence. he thinks it went well.* Well, not that I want to /encourage/ you to continue with the dirty tricks, but... *leans in for that nuzzle, and wraps his arms over Soundwave's shoulders*

NoodlesAtNight 8:11 pm [[Agreed.]] *Both Prowls.* opatoes 8:11 pm Wheels, you in a fighting mood? MedicalMurdersaurus 8:11 pm *hears the ruckus on screen and is immediately into it* !!

Agooddistraction858 8:12 pm Smokey, I'm always in a fighting mood opatoes 8:12 pm You know? That's a mood. You wanna spar with me later? skullstronaut 8:12 pm But who's to say if he does win that the others won't turn on them anyway. Agooddistraction858 8:12 pm I'm so down opatoes 8:12 pm Frag yeah!

[[A leader who does not keep his word is a leader not worth following.]] Wilyyy 8:13 pm OH NO! Swervester 8:13 pm Huh. I really thought they'd turn on them if he lost. MedicalMurdersaurus 8:13 pm Keheheh! BAM! Fall down. Swervester 8:13 pm I guess he did keep his word;. skullstronaut 8:13 pm I /suppose/.

Done that before.//

[[Yes, you have.

Swervester 9:43 pm Why doesn't he sleep with his wife? NoodlesAtNight 9:44 pm [[Because she does not love him.]] skullstronaut 9:44 pm Only his money.

MedicalMurdersaurus 10:07 pm Autopsy means take apart dead people Swervester 10:07 pm There never is verdigrisprowl 10:07 pm This situation CLEARLY calls for a full autopsy. verdigrisprowl 10:08 pm ... And Penguin is friends with one of the police department's most zealous medical examiners. Swervester 10:08 pm Chances they won't bribe or arrange a corrupt autopsy are low. MedicalMurdersaurus 10:08 pm ((if he doesn't say "go to lee"....)) ((THANK GOD)) Swervester 10:08 pm True tho MedicalMurdersaurus 10:08 pm ((nooooooooo)) verdigrisprowl 10:08 pm What do you mean, "clear my name," you idiot!

It'll come to ya MedicalMurdersaurus 10:10 pm *could have got more blood guts and gore tonight, but it was passible* NoodlesAtNight 10:10 pm [[He's sure it won't.]] MedicalMurdersaurus 10:11 pm *drops his head down on Bob and starts to zzzzzzzzzzz himself* opatoes 10:11 pm /Smokescreen beeps when the snack hits his head, but picks it up once it's on the ground and eats it./ Thanks Rumble, old buddy!

I gotta get going myself, might as well help take them out. NoodlesAtNight 10:12 pm {{Oh good, yes. You take other side. Bird gets middle.}} Swervester 10:12 pm Sure. opatoes 10:12 pm You gave me a snack. If that's not pal material, I don't know what is. Boomtank 10:12 pm Are you going to be okay carrying them? NoodlesAtNight 10:12 pm *Gleefully* {{You Blaster coming help too?}} Boomtank 10:13 pm Sure. Swervester 10:13 pm [suspicious squint at Laserbeak. They've just been conned into doing all the lifting haven't they] Boomtank 10:13 pm -has no idea what just happened, but okay, something to do- NoodlesAtNight 10:13 pm *You bet your ass.* {{Big bots soooo strong. Bird get out of way, supervising. Big bug, Dinobot too heavy for poor, delicate Bird.}} *She rolls to look cute and moves aside* NoodlesAtNight 10:14 pm *Never mind that she carted a helicopter around like it was nothing* opatoes 10:14 pm But if you say so! I'll probably have to head off soon, anyway. Thanks for the showing, Soundwave! Boomtank 10:14 pm -snorts- Swervester 10:14 pm [snorts but starts lifting pile] Sure not too delicate for all those snacks tho, are you? NoodlesAtNight 10:14 pm [[You're welcome, Smokescreen.]] SCProwl 10:14 pm *snorts in amusement at Laserbeak* Boomtank 10:14 pm -just going to try and help where he can- NoodlesAtNight 10:14 pm *She rounds on Swerve at that. For a split second there's the sound of her lasers powering up - but then she brightens and acts chipper again.* {{It not thaaaaat many.}} Swervester 10:15 pm Well, I *suppose* I can leave them here for you then. NoodlesAtNight 10:16 pm *Affected gasp of "surprise"* {{Reaaaally? Bar bot is good bot, very good. Bird thanks bar bot much~}} *Whistlechirp.* Swervester 10:17 pm [excellent, now he doesn't have to worry about Magnus being on his case for expired snacks when he's inevitably unable to pawn them off on customers] Sure thing. Boomtank 10:17 pm Hey, how hard of a sleeper do you think they are? NoodlesAtNight 10:17 pm {{Oh, him Swoop like dead thing.}} {{Him brothers roll on. It not waking him.}} Boomtank 10:17 pm ...that does explain a few things Swervester 10:17 pm Unsurprising. How far out the door? NoodlesAtNight 10:18 pm *She floats close to the door to give the outside world a critical eyeing. ... How far can she get these nerds to go?* {{...You walk them two two hundred feet. That safe distance.}} Swervester 10:19 pm [He's gonna look to Soundwave for confirmation] NoodlesAtNight 10:19 pm *Oh, Soundwave will nod. He won't spoil his precious Laserbeak's game.* Swervester 10:19 pm [he should have known better][ NoodlesAtNight 10:20 pm *It IS a safe distance. He just won't say that there's any shorter one that's also safe.* Boomtank 10:20 pm -doesn't believe a word of it, but it'll give him room to leave afterwards- Swervester 10:21 pm [He'll get Soundwave back later probably. but for now, 200 feet it is] NoodlesAtNight 10:21 pm *Soundwave will honestly be disappointed if Swerve doesn't try.* [[Thank you for your assistance, Blaster, Swerve. Have a good evening.]] Boomtank 10:22 pm Good night, Soundwave Swervester 10:22 pm You too! Have fun. Laserbeak lemme know which snacks end up being your favorite, we'll see if I can make more. [waves and heads out] Rumble too, if he wants any snacks. NoodlesAtNight 10:22 pm *She will tell him ALL about them as they go out. ... And now so will Rumble, who brightens almost as much as she does while hoisting up the feet end.* SCProwl 10:24 pm *will head out as well with pings to the people remaining in the room still* NoodlesAtNight 10:24 pm *Soundwave just shakes his head and huffs to himself as they're all going. Goodnight, SCProwl.* verdigrisprowl 10:26 pm *bob's gone. for the first time all night, loosens his death grip on soundwave's arm.* NoodlesAtNight 10:27 pm *Soundwave doesn't even wiggle it to bring sensation back into it. Why would he? There's not a whole lot of it to get back in the first place.*

*Instead, he shifts to face Prowl, one leg curled on the sofa and sticking out, the other foot planted on the floor.*

[[You made it.]] *He says nothing else, just watching and waiting to see if Prowl decides to say or request or maybe even scream something.* verdigrisprowl 10:28 pm *the longest exhale ever* *hold on. still sighing.* *stiiiill sighing.* verdigrisprowl 10:29 pm *okay. he's empty now.* NoodlesAtNight 10:30 pm *A nod. That's roughly as stressed as he thought Prowl might have gotten, yes.*

[[Is it of any help to you through your avatar if he makes it cooler in here?]] *Since Prowl might've been holding his vents, and all.* verdigrisprowl 10:31 pm ... I think I'd like to feel cold. *it's not quite the question Soundwave was aiming for, but it sounds appealing all the same.* NoodlesAtNight 10:32 pm *Soundwave mouth twists with a hint of confusion as he tries to puzzle out whether there's anything more to that statement than a yes.* NoodlesAtNight 10:33 pm *...If there is, he doesn't understand what it might be, so he'll go with what he has on hand right now.* [[Would you prefer to stay here and be cold or move somewhere else where it is cold?]] verdigrisprowl 10:34 pm If I'm going to be cold, I'd better leave and do it on my own, hadn't I? *he's not going to make Soundwave suffer.* NoodlesAtNight 10:35 pm [[He knew what he was asking when he asked it. You do not have to do that.]] verdigrisprowl 10:37 pm You don't have to be cold on my behalf. verdigrisprowl 10:38 pm *... hey. now's his chance.* *gets up and starts cleaning* NoodlesAtNight 10:39 pm [[He has several warming items, and he is sure Laserbeak and the twins would enjoy the opportunity to be cold as well. The three of them run particularly hot by nature. He would prefer to be cold for a short while than send you away on your own after tonight.]]

*Pause.* [[...Why are you cleaning?]] verdigrisprowl 10:40 pm Because you started cleaning at my movie night. *he's gonna be a helper goddammit* NoodlesAtNight 10:40 pm *Head tilt.* [[He doesn't follow.]] verdigrisprowl 10:42 pm ... I want to help you clean up after movie night. NoodlesAtNight 10:45 pm [[Oh! ... Even though it is not his night?]] verdigrisprowl 10:46 pm ... Not your night for what? NoodlesAtNight 10:47 pm [[For cleaning after movie night. He wasn't on the schedule for it.]] verdigrisprowl 10:47 pm ... Then I'm doing someone else a favor. *he's gonna Keep Cleaning.* NoodlesAtNight 10:49 pm *That's even more puzzling, but all right.* [[Chimera will be pleasantly surprised.]] *Well, he's not going to make Prowl do all of it alone. Time to get up and help. Maybe quietly lower the first floor's thermostat. Just a touch!* verdigrisprowl 10:49 pm *chimera is tiny, it's easier for prowl.* *... tiny but flexible. /probably/ easier for prowl.* NoodlesAtNight 10:51 pm [[...Do you happen to find this soothing? Buzzsaw is like that. He scrubs like a wild mech when infuriated - after he stops throwing his supplies around, that is.]] verdigrisprowl 10:51 pm Sometimes. *he's hoping he will tonight.* I would have helped clean anyway. NoodlesAtNight 10:54 pm [[...Sometimes he wonders if he throws them around so he'll HAVE something to scrub.]]

*Slowly putting chairs back.* [[He appreciates that.]] *...And now he's curious.* [[When he helps you at the library - do you mind that? Or is that interfering with - that is, do you need to do that after the crowds...?]] verdigrisprowl 10:55 pm I know where the chairs go and I know if any of the fuel needs to be moved in a particular way, but trash is trash and goes in the trash. NoodlesAtNight 10:57 pm [[No, no. To relax. Like this, tonight. You've told him before that you do not really like crowds, and your movie nights have had... ah. Strange incidents. Recently.]] verdigrisprowl 10:57 pm Oh. No. verdigrisprowl 10:58 pm It's a bit— *hold on, he's searching for a word.* ... annoying, that for ages you insisted I sit on a couch useless watching while you cleaned after your streams, but immediately started cleaning at mine. NoodlesAtNight 10:59 pm *Soundwave turns a couch onto its side with his feelers so he can have something to lean on while he considers that.* NoodlesAtNight 11:03 pm [[Hm. He is not in the habit of giving up control of certain things in or about his home. It is why he generally does not allow the others to help unless the mess is too tiresome to deal with alone. And with the library being a public space...]] *Folds his arms atop the couch.* [[But you /are/ still the host. And he expects the library would only come after you if he made a hash of it.]] *Drums his fingers. Thinking.* verdigrisprowl 11:03 pm Ah. verdigrisprowl 11:04 pm *well that's that explained, then.* NoodlesAtNight 11:04 pm [[...He is sorry. It should still be your right to decide how the room you are temporarily responsible for is handled.]] *That is his decision. He nods and stands up again.* verdigrisprowl 11:08 pm *nods* Just let me bridge the couches and check with me before moving the fuels, some of Mixmaster's brews are temperamental. NoodlesAtNight 11:09 pm [[He also assumed you would appreciate it because of Jazz's invitation and the nature of musical gigs. A surprise, of sorts. But perhaps that should more correctly fall under the umbrella of his older, worse habits? Activities performed for your perceived benefit without asking... Hm. He will think about that.]] *He flips the couch right side up again and keeps working.* [[Are they safe, by the way? He has thought about testing them, but-- well.]] verdigrisprowl 11:11 pm I'd appreciate asking before assuming, in the future. Mixmaster's brews? *Prowl makes a so-so gesture.* I'd sip. NoodlesAtNight 11:12 pm *Seems he was right about that. All right, better to ask about how to go about a good intention than to guess and step on a potential land mine. He can go along with that. He'll nod to it.*

[[Only sip? Unpleasant to drink at length, then? Or too powerful?]] verdigrisprowl 11:13 pm Too unknown. NoodlesAtNight 11:13 pm [[...Excuse him for saying so, but that /is/ somewhat alarming.]] NoodlesAtNight 11:14 pm [[Does he expect you to report back the results of the guests' ingestion of them...?]] verdigrisprowl 11:14 pm He doesn't send /inherently/ dangerous stuff. But I'd still sip. NoodlesAtNight 11:17 pm [[Ah. So noted. And mildly disappointing.]] *Inspects a cracked floor panel where Swoop and the others were piled up. Probably just wear and tear; those three aren't heavy enough to do that just by laying on it. They'll have to replace that one tomorrow.* [[It is difficult to make plans concerning experiments with tipsiness when one does not make a habit of drinking one's own product.]] verdigrisprowl 11:18 pm Generally the only question he asks when I get back is "which ones did they like". NoodlesAtNight 11:19 pm [[Oh, no. Not Mixmaster's. His own.]] *Half-sparked wave at the bar.* [[But that is less investigative than he would have expected. Odd.]] verdigrisprowl 11:19 pm Oh. verdigrisprowl 11:20 pm ... Would you like help experimenting with tipsiness? NoodlesAtNight 11:21 pm [[...If you are offering, considering you would potentially be involved at a later stage if he identified a tolerable level and method of reaching it.]] verdigrisprowl 11:23 pm I /am/ offering. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe I have more experience with it than you? NoodlesAtNight 11:26 pm [[He has no reason to correct you. His interest is entirely your doing. You have placed before him something he personally knows nothing about, and that simply will not do. The curiosity has been eating him alive for months.]] *Taps a finger to his lips and frowns slightly, then shakes his head and sits down.* [[That, and what it would feel like to experience even half of what you do, but he is still waiting on those holomatter additions, so there is no use getting fired up about /that/ business yet.]] verdigrisprowl 11:27 pm ... Have you never been drunk, or...? *he remembers that story about drunkenly singing along at a symphony, but never saw a confirmation as to whether it was true or not.* NoodlesAtNight 11:28 pm [[Oh, he has been a /few/ times. Mostly against his will. It generally hasn't done much for his reputation. You /did/ see the symphony story...?]] verdigrisprowl 11:28 pm So that /was/ the true one. NoodlesAtNight 11:30 pm [[Of course it was. He gave incorrect numbers. The other one was a /blatant/ lie.]] *Folding his hands over his abdomen and smiling like a shark at a fish buffet* [[He slaughtered the minicon trader himself.]] verdigrisprowl 11:31 pm "Of course," you say, like you couldn't have changed it from a symphony to an opera and then later crowed about how that one was obviously false. verdigrisprowl 11:32 pm *he's wise to your games* NoodlesAtNight 11:34 pm *An even bigger smile now. He's either about to start silently belly laughing or eat someone's whole face in one bite. /Probably/ the first one.* [[You are quite the fast learner.]] verdigrisprowl 11:35 pm Just trying to keep up. NoodlesAtNight 11:35 pm [[If a little bitter about the Hydrax Trax answer, he thinks.]] *And there it is. Shaking.* verdigrisprowl 11:36 pm *he'll just watch. and try not to smile too much.* ... A little. NoodlesAtNight 11:38 pm [[Take it as a compliment.]] *Motions for Prowl to come sit with him. On him? On him. A lap tap. * [[The only way he can stop you catching up to him is to play dirty tricks - and one day, even those may not be enough.]] *Thought in the most admiring tones, not in overly concerned ones.* verdigrisprowl 11:39 pm If YOU run out of new dirty tricks to use on me, I'll officially be the most savvy cop Cybertron has ever seen. *he's taking that lap sit* NoodlesAtNight 11:48 pm [[Flatterer.]] *Settles his hands on Prowl's lower back. He sends that keysmash of a serious/humor mark and immediately follows it with this quiet thought:* [[He will have to stay in top form, then. What kind of amica would he be if he did not help you achieve that status?]] *Soundwave offers the opportunity for a nuzzle.* verdigrisprowl 11:49 pm I try. *he really IS trying. you wouldn't believe the calculations that went into that one sentence. he thinks it went well.* Well, not that I want to /encourage/ you to continue with the dirty tricks, but... *leans in for that nuzzle, and wraps his arms over Soundwave's shoulders* NoodlesAtNight 11:58 pm [[You do not need to encourage him. He encourages himself quite well.]]

*Oh, yes he would. He knows how difficult it is for Prowl to give even semi-hidden compliments like that. He cherishes every single one, and has the collection of soundbites stored in an extra safe location.*

*He'll turn his side of it into a proper embrace instead of a lazy back touch. This Prowl is his. He will keep this Prowl safe and supported and soothed and strong. His arms are meant to be shields, and not just for his own protection.*

[[If he may ask, how are you doing now?]]

*A truthful answer, please. He wants to know what he can still do to help.* Today verdigrisprowl 12:01 am Pff. I suppose you do, don't you.

*......... oh right there was a bug here earlier.* ... Better. *and it's still true, even if the reminder that it was here has tugged him back down a bit.* Thanks. NoodlesAtNight 12:05 am [[From the moment he was forged.]]

*He can tell the tug down exists because of the delay in answering, and is sorry for that, but... he doesn't want Prowl to have to pretend things are one hundred percent all right either, if they're not.*

[[You're welcome. What would you like to do now?]] *Because he is still fully prepared to chug antifreeze and wander through a snowbank if need be.* verdigrisprowl 12:07 am More than anything else right now? Sleep. *a couple hours straight of sustained tension will do that to you.* NoodlesAtNight 12:07 am [[Here,]] *Couch pat with feeler to indicate that's what he means by that* [[somewhere else, alone, with the Constructicons?]] verdigrisprowl 12:08 am Upstairs. Unless you'd rather go to your apartment? NoodlesAtNight 12:09 am [[Upstairs is fine. No sense traveling elsewhere if you are tired. Inefficient. Shall he carry you up?]]

A little. NoodlesAtNight 11:38 pm [[Take it as a compliment.]] *Motions for Prowl to come sit with him. On him? On him. A lap tap. * [[The only way he can stop you catching up to him is to play dirty tricks - and one day, even those may not be enough.]] *Thought in the most admiring tones, not in overly concerned ones.* verdigrisprowl 11:39 pm If YOU run out of new dirty tricks to use on me, I'll officially be the most savvy cop Cybertron has ever seen. *he's taking that lap sit* NoodlesAtNight 11:48 pm [[Flatterer.]] *Settles his hands on Prowl's lower back. He sends that keysmash of a serious/humor mark and immediately follows it with this quiet thought:* [[He will have to stay in top form, then. What kind of amica would he be if he did not help you achieve that status?]] *Soundwave offers the opportunity for a nuzzle.* verdigrisprowl 11:49 pm I try. *he really IS trying. you wouldn't believe the calculations that went into that one sentence. he thinks it went well.* Well, not that I want to /encourage/ you to continue with the dirty tricks, but... *leans in for that nuzzle, and wraps his arms over Soundwave's shoulders* NoodlesAtNight 11:58 pm [[You do not need to encourage him. He encourages himself quite well.]]

*Oh, yes he would. He knows how difficult it is for Prowl to give even semi-hidden compliments like that. He cherishes every single one, and has the collection of soundbites stored in an extra safe location.*

*He'll turn his side of it into a proper embrace instead of a lazy back touch. This Prowl is his. He will keep this Prowl safe and supported and soothed and strong. His arms are meant to be shields, and not just for his own protection.*

[[If he may ask, how are you doing now?]]

*A truthful answer, please. He wants to know what he can still do to help.* Today verdigrisprowl 12:01 am Pff. I suppose you do, don't you.

*......... oh right there was a bug here earlier.* ... Better. *and it's still true, even if the reminder that it was here has tugged him back down a bit.* Thanks. NoodlesAtNight 12:05 am [[From the moment he was forged.]]

*He can tell the tug down exists because of the delay in answering, and is sorry for that, but... he doesn't want Prowl to have to pretend things are one hundred percent all right either, if they're not.*

[[You're welcome. What would you like to do now?]] *Because he is still fully prepared to chug antifreeze and wander through a snowbank if need be.* verdigrisprowl 12:07 am More than anything else right now? Sleep. *a couple hours straight of sustained tension will do that to you.* NoodlesAtNight 12:07 am [[Here,]] *Couch pat with feeler to indicate that's what he means by that* [[somewhere else, alone, with the Constructicons?]] verdigrisprowl 12:08 am Upstairs. Unless you'd rather go to your apartment? NoodlesAtNight 12:09 am [[Upstairs is fine. No sense traveling elsewhere if you are tired. Inefficient.

He'll make his way upstairs with them slowly and smoothly, then pull Prowl in for as much or as little a spoon as he wants and can handle. Protective sleep mode.*

Alwalkeria maleriensis

By José Carlos Cortés

Etymology: For Alick Walker

First Described By: Chatterjee, 1987

Classification: Dinosauromorpha, Dinosauriformes, Dracohors, Dinosauria, Saurischia

Status: Extinct

Time and Place: Alwalkeria lived about 228 million years ago, in the Carnian age of the Late Triassic 

Alwalkeria is known from the Lower member of the Maleri Formation of Andhra Pradesh, India 

Physical Description: Alwalkeria is one of the earliest known dinosaurs, so it - like other early dinosaurs - showcases the basic dinosaur body plan: small bipedal runner. It had teeth and a skull very similar to its close cousin, Eoraptor, which had slightly different shapes depending on the position within the jaw and a somewhat small, elongate head. It had straight, slender front teeth, and backwards curved teeth in the back of the jaw, with no serrations. Little more is known about its external appearance, given the lack of remains; however, it probably would have had a long tail, short neck, and long legs and arms. Alwalkeria would probably have been only about a meter long, making it one of the smaller dinosaurs known.

Given its small size and early position on the dinosaur tree, Alwalkeria would most likely have been covered in very primitive protofeathers, but without further fossil evidence this cannot be said for certain.

Diet: Alwalkeria has teeth adapted both for feeding on meat and for feeding on plants, so it was probably an omnivore with a highly variable diet.

Behavior: Alwalkeria would have been a fairly skittish sort of animal, as early dinosaurs such as it were not very big nor very common in their ecosystems. As such, it would have used speed to get away from predators, of which there were many. It would have been curious, as well, due to being an omnivore, and a generalist one at that - so more of an opportunist than anything, looking for sources of food wherever it could. 

By Ashley Patch

Since it was a dinosaur, like other dinosaurs it would have been a fairly active animal, with a warm-blooded metabolism. It also probably took care of its young.

Ecosystem: Alwalkeria lived near a large lake environment, with mainly ferns present in the region, but also some conifers and horsetails. In the Lower Maleri environment, Alwalkeria lived alongside many other kinds of animals, though no other dinosaurs have been definitively named - only one possible prosauropod. Instead, there were the Cynodonts Exaeretodon, the Phytosaur Parasuchus, the Rhynchosaur Hyperodapedon, the Protorosaur Malerisaurus, the large temnospondyl amphibian Koskinodon, the lungfish Ceratodus, and the freshwater shark Xenacanthus. There may have also been an aetosaur of some sort. Alwalkeria probably mainly fed on small animals such as insects and reptiles not yet found in the fossil record, and it probably mainly had to look out for Koskinodon and Parasuchus in terms of predators.

Other: The original fossils described as Alwalkeria are actually a chimera, with many parts assigned to the genus actually belonging to some sort of early crocodile relative. However, there is an early dinosaur in there too, and that dinosaur seems to primarily resemble Eoraptor, though it hasn’t been thoroughly studied in a phylogenetic analysis. So, that’s what we call Alwalkeria now, even though originally there was more considered to be preserved.
