Saw someone saying something about Vader's politics and whatever politics Anakin believed before he Fell, tbh I think Vader's politics are just depression and apathy lmao. Any politics he engaged in after are against his will or like office politics.

Except that instead of normal levels of psychological warfare against that annoying guy who keeps talking to you at the water cooler, you're a cyborg demigod who can strangle people with your mind and you and all of your coworkers are committing war crimes.

#comm chatter #darth vader #sndgiojrirg #vader #idk if im gonna respond to them but someone reblogged one of my posts making it seem like vader was like #purposefully taking out brass that were too powerful and its like ???? #i do not think vader has that much power OR the will to care about that lmao #its literally just are they being rude while he is in the building am i allowed to kill him or not im doing it anyway #and then he gets electrocuted by palpatine for killing another rich military guy #he cared about killing kenobi and then finding his son and maybe killing some desenters along the way

Zoro 🐯 Process:

Commentary below:

Notes:

One of the first attempts at sculpting the boy; the head was later altered quite a bit and the legs entirely scrapped, and the torso bulked up shaking my shoulders feverishly: we need to properly represent his 110 cm bust and what we have isn't cutting it. Scabbards were made (which survived till the end!) and the original clay swords were made by this point.

New torso and legs give (hallelujah), as well as the loops and holes for the ears (such finicky small work, fuck me) were made. Holes were first made with straight wire and dried before the hoops were gently (and with swearing) inserted through.

Clothes added, also with swearing as the clay dried and stiffened faster then I wanted to and made it hard to get nice folds. Scarf was re-made and smoothed later.

Scabbards added! Immediately drops it and breaks a piece of it off. I've glued multiple bits of the scabbards back on the flimsy bastards. He remained armless for a good while. A Venus on the shelf by my desk...

Because the clay sword (after a good hour of tender focused work) would IMMEDIATELY would break upon the lightest touch, annoying me to no end, one evening was like God I wish I had actual metal to use instead wouldn't that be cool, and then was like OH! I COULD DO THAT! So the metal is actually cut from the tin of a cat food can, straightened and sanded., as seen in photo!

The blades hilted, before placed in capable hands

ARMS! and the sculpting is finished. Onto painting!

First layers of paint on various parts; I generally paint via colours I'm using at the moment (ie, greens in this instance)

More layers laid down. I generally go for shading in rules of three (main colour, lighter, and darker hues) and apply them at different opacity of acrylic. Adjusted the green since I found it too pungent. Once the fur tones were finished I gave him his stripes (cue me searching up loads of photos of tigers and tiger fursonas to see how people have done the stripes. Did you know depending on the area they are from they have different face shapes and stripe patterns? Fascinating stuff)

Finished project! Last layers, and highlights where added, adjusted the eye and fuck-ups re-adjusted. Dropped and had to reglue things. The gold is actual gold leaf I applied using a glue you paint on but that was a bit of a whole mess and took a long time, and doesn't go on very flat on very not-flat surfaces... (Who would have thought...) In the future may instead use gold paints for metallics.

Here's also the link to the post of more photos of him finished!

I can't stop thinking that the way MIC!Arya announces she and Firnen are at Ilirea to give Murtagh and Thorn a heads up is to do the mental equivalent of flicking crumpled pieces of straw wrapper at the back of his head.

Arya's childhood was certainly not the normal for elf children, not with the fall of the Riders occuring and having lasting effects, but she did have Fäolin to play with and spent a lot of time with him. The teasing and rough and tumble play that she got into with Fäolin and the continued 'raising' of her the Wolfcats did, combined with influences from Glaedr, Brom and Rhunön (Oromis was the most traditional of the bunch so he didn't contribute much to the more wild sides of Arya's personality and mannerisms) gave her this very rough around the edges, teasing, everyone is a kid brother when they need to be and everyone is a big brother when they need to be sort of vibe of dealing with younger peers once she battle bonded with them.

She knows that Murtagh's upbringing probably wasn't that great, and that he probably never had friends his own age that were real friends. So she just treats him like he's one of the Wolfcats from so long ago, would give him noogies if he were shorter, give him a hug if he let her, and if they were kids it would be just an immediate 'hi! can i see your room? YOU HAVE STAR CHARTS ON YOUR CEILING THATS SO COOL! AND A CHEMISTRY SET?!'

I just want Arya to give Murtagh a chance to experience that easy friendship.

oh god damn it.

Toph. Arya Toph style friendships him.

someone in the mahler tag complaining abt the length of mahler symphonies. mahler girlies attack ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

#first of all simply do not listen if you dont like it #but also you have the option to just listen to one movement if you want something shorter #mahler 2 mvmt 4 is 5 minutes and it has a beautiful brass chorale and my fav orchestral oboe solo . listen 2 that #but also . blasts u with my beam #kidding btw i find it really funny when ppl get mean abt classical music

[jacqcrisis]

i kind of thought making a dragonborn in bg3 might be a mistake given how odd he'll look next to any other character, but then i got through tutorial and picked the option to shake Shadowheart awake on the beach and now I realize that it's actually the unintended comedy route, and I love it.

Can't wait for ANY romance scene.

#bg3 #ronan the brass bragonborn is a war cleric with 10 in intelligence. a need to touch everything. and a neutral good morality. #(until a sufficiently pretty man walks into frame and then its whatever that dude needs to be smooched) #it was really funny when shadowheart said we needed to find a healer #babe we're both clerics what are you talking about be more specific #now i need to find a mod to fix poor ronan's very anatomically strange penis

You can NOT convince me that Maverick does not have a leather wallet like this:

that has pictures of the baby pilots on the mile long plastic photo display chain. It’s a hassle to pull it all back on when he whips it out but it’s worth it.

*Mav talking to some random Admiral*

Mav: Would you like to see pictures of my kids?

Admiral #9: No, we’re in a meeting about-

Mav: *Whips out his wallet and lets the plastic chain roll out to cover the documents they were discussing* I’m so glad you asked. These are my baby ducks.

Admiral #9: ……….Captain Mitchell, these are full grown TOP GUN graduates.

Pictures would include:

#He’s a proud mama bear #He just wants to show off his kids #The brass just wish he didn’t do it during meetings #Ice finds it adorable and will eviscerate and admiral who tries to interrupt Mav #pete maverick mitchell #Top Gun #top gun maverick #storeboughtheadcanons

Found another cool instrument-heavy band :))))

#dirt poor robins :) #i am so so simple i find musicians who use a ton of strings and i am instantly hooked #if they use brass and woodwinds too i am double hooked

[iamthemaestro]

fellow band staff member pointed out while I was playing tinwhistle today that bagpipes use the same fingerings. I might be about to get Way more annoying

#if your name is keith windham WATCH OUT #i'm not gonna lie. they're way less expensive than i thought #((LEE YOU DON'T NEED ANOTHER OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD INSTRUMENT you say)) #((and I agree. but it was never about Needing)) #realistically. i know. it's hard enough to find a place to practice fife #but i also want to be the guy who plays the bagpipes. want to add another one of the most eclectic possible (western) instruments to my rep #maybe someday #maybe i should learn a brass instrument first. maybe i should actually prioritize instruments that would be useful to me #i've played in every family but brass #comp-posting #music #mine #composerposting

They never saw us coming, ‘til they hit the floor

Summary: He couldn’t believe this was actually happening. All of his dreams were gone just like that. And there was only one person to blame. Gordon Tracy.

Day(s): 3, 7, 8, 10, 11, 22, 23, Alt 2, Alt 3

Prompt(s): “Make it stop.”, Alleyway, “It’s all for nothing.”, Broken Phone, “No one will find you.”, “They never saw us coming, ‘til they hit the floor.”, “It’s gonna get me by the end of the night.”, Shadows, Stalking, “Who’s there?”, Aftermath of Failure, Brass Knuckles

He couldn’t believe this was actually happening.

All of his dreams were gone just like that.

He had been so close. If he had only been a fraction of a second quicker he could have won. He could have been holding that gold medal in his hands. He could have been up there on the podium, the crowd cheering for him, his national anthem playing behind him, his country proud of him.

None of that had happened, at least not for him. He was a failure, and had to go home a disappointment. He wouldn’t be able to show his face again. His family, his friends, his whole country had watched him fail, had seen him be too slow, had seen him mess up on that last turn which had snatched him from not only gold but from any other medal.

He ground his teeth together as he thought back to his time in the pool. He had been in the third lane after he’d done well in the previous heats. He had promise to take first place, he just had to push past his competition and he would come out on top.

It had started well. He tried to not get too distracted by the other swimmers and concentrated on his own swimming, but he knew he was ahead.

But then, when he was reaching the end of the first length, he couldn’t help but catch sight in his peripheral of the swimmer two lanes over.

Gordon Tracy.

are we going to find out why viper keeps telling tom that admiral Benjamin isn’t the only one with friends in high places? he’s mentioned it a few times now and curious about what he means by that.

Chapter 17 already explained some of it. Three now-Admirals (Jacks, who is a 2-star and the Airboss; O'Reilly, who is a 4-star and COMPACFLT; and Edwards, who is a 3-star) were saved by Duke Mitchell during the Vietnam war and have taken an indirect interest in his kid and what he does. They were lowly Lieutenants back then but you don't just forget a guy straight up dying to save your life no matter how Classified they mark the documents.

It's my way of rationalizing how Pete manages to stay in the Navy as long as he does before Ice is high ranking enough to protect him. If there are a bunch of Admirals telling everyone to calm down and get over it, Pete gets to keep on flying, and those men get to pay back a debt, at least the way they see it.

#sassy answers asks #i'll ride au #listen jacks is pissed about benjamin senior #and now he has a reason to be pissed about benjamin junior #AND a captain he trusts telling him that shit went sideways #and he (jacks) feels like he owes duke mitchell AND likes pete as a person even if he's a pain in his ass #not to mention high-ranking marines and other navy personnel calling jacks on the phone demanding they do something about benjamin #because listen marine colonel's have CONNECTIONS if you know what i mean #especially if those marine colonels went to annapolis #and graduated with half the current brass #i encourage you to look up the current highest ranking brass of the marines and the navy #you'll find pretty quickly that a lot of them have something in common #and that something is the same thing tom wears on his finger
