The way I view Artificer is not unlike how the sister in Raptor Red is described:
"Her sister’s mind is usually a muddle of conflicting rages that she can barely control. She fears and hates the smell of other raptors. She’s driven to apoplectic anger when she senses acrocanthosaurs nearby. And she flails her arms in frustration when the physical elements go against her - when it’s too windy or too rainy or too hot. One central purpose holds her thoughts together: protect her chicks, protect her family, protect her sister."
Replace raptor with slugcat and acrocanthosaurs with scavengers. Sadly as we all know the pups are long gone, but I believe that if it wasn't their deaths that sent it into a violent rage it would've been something else.

Remembrance Day: Honouring the Sacrifice and Resilience of Heroes
Shaina Tranquilino
November 11, 2023
As we approach November 11th, our hearts collectively turn to pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country. Remembrance Day is an occasion that allows us to reflect upon the valour, resilience, and unwavering spirit exhibited by countless heroes throughout history. On this solemn day, let us come together as a nation to remember these extraordinary men and women and express our gratitude for their immeasurable contributions.
1. A Historical Perspective:
Remembrance Day holds its roots in the armistice signed between Germany and Allied forces on November 11, 1918, effectively ending World War I. Originally known as Armistice Day, it was officially renamed Remembrance Day after World War II to honour all military personnel who lost their lives in conflicts worldwide.
2. Symbolism and Traditions:
The red poppy flower has become synonymous with Remembrance Day due to Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae's poignant poem "In Flanders Fields." Wearing a poppy serves as a powerful symbol of remembrance and solidarity with those who served or continue to serve.
Additionally, two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. on November 11th mark the moment when hostilities ceased during World War I – a time for collective reflection and respect for fallen heroes.
3. Paying Tribute: The Importance of Remembering:
Remembrance Day is not just about honouring past sacrifices; it is also an opportunity for us to acknowledge the ongoing dedication of servicemen and women around the world. Their commitment ensures our safety, freedom, and peace while reminding us of the cost involved.
By actively engaging in remembrance ceremonies, visiting war memorials, or even participating virtually through various initiatives, we can demonstrate our gratitude towards those who selflessly put themselves in harm's way.
4. Teaching Future Generations:
As time passes, it becomes even more crucial to educate younger generations about the significance of Remembrance Day. The sacrifices made by our predecessors should not fade into oblivion but instead serve as a reminder of the importance of peace, unity, and global cooperation.
Through educational programs, storytelling, or visiting historical sites, we can instill in children an understanding of the price paid for the freedom they enjoy today – nurturing empathy and fostering appreciation for those who served.
5. Beyond Borders: A Global Perspective:
Remembrance Day is observed worldwide, extending beyond national boundaries. It serves as a unifying force that transcends language, culture, and politics. Regardless of where we are from or what conflicts have shaped our countries' histories, honouring fallen heroes reminds us of our common humanity and shared responsibility to strive for lasting peace.
Remembrance Day stands as a poignant reminder of the bravery displayed by countless soldiers and civilians throughout history. This solemn occasion allows us to honour their sacrifice while acknowledging the ongoing efforts towards building a world free from conflict. By participating in remembrance ceremonies and teaching future generations about the importance of gratitude and perseverance, we ensure that their stories live on forever.
So this November 11th, let us stand united in silence and reflection, remembering with utmost reverence those who fought valiantly for a brighter future – inspiring us all to be better stewards of peace.

Fucking sailors, that's what you assholes are.
Red gives this a baffled look.
"Oh shit, sorry for swearing about a literal fucking criminal organization." He says with a snicker, despite his confusion.
Blanc adds to this only with a nod, but also adds. "I...need what now? I'm not going to church I'm not that religious."

Herevana - #189 - Monk's Café - Grand Cru
Monk's Café - Grand Cru.
A Saturday for some Flemish Red to enjoy and a dose of Neko Case for the ears.
Another Humid and close Saturday late summer – so I’m having a Herevana beer, a Monk’s Café – Grand Cru, Flanders Red Sours are something I would gravitate to if it was on the bar list over many other styles. Same brewery that makes the Gulden Draak I had last week.
Brouwerij Van Steenberge make the Monk’s Café Grand Cru in Ertvelde, East Flanders, Belgium 🇧🇪, and this is a Sour Flemish Ale –…
