Y'know, something just clicked in my head about Lancer, thanks to something i read in the tags on a reblog (thank you, @commiedalek-blog!):
How Non-Human are Non-Human Persons/N.H.P.s?
For instance: Would they have likes or hobbies like many humans do?
Does the ever-eager and bloodthirsty Sehkmet-Class N.H.P. in someone's mech secretly watch cheesy TV-Dramas as a guilty pleasure, or does it communicate in auditory hallucinations: The growl of a chain-axe, the splattering hiss and shriek of rending metal and coolants from a struck enemy, and the insatiable, ever-ready rumbling afterwards?
Does the Osiris-Class N.H.P. partnered to someone communicate in staticky flickers of code on nearby monitors, whispering a binary chant only its "Chosen" could hear? Or does it act like a sh#t-posting gremlin and rib the ever-loving Hell out of its "follower" when they mess up in a small way?
In a way, it reflects the sort of character you want to play: A more serious take would lean more into just how Non-Human an N.H.P. can be, while a more lighthearted take would lean on them being surprisingly human, for all their power and potential horror.
It's always a fascinating question to ask and answer, whether you're the player fleshing out your character and how they interact with N.H.P.s, or the GMs setting up interesting plot-hooks and missions involving them.
Of all the things to get a bit of traction on this hellsite, a rando sketch on a side blog was not what I thought would. It's gotta be the Snape community, even though up until now I haven't interacted, you guys are noticeably chill. So... here you go. Half-bun Sev. Transparent version underneath so the artists can reline/colour/finish it if they want.
B.B. Burns, The Apprentice of Evils, happened upon some funny and peculiar magical items in her most recent short-sighted venture. wonder what they do haha

It might seem like I already know and maybe I kinda do?? But would you mind praying for me anyway?
I’ve felt for a while that the Lord has been putting it on my heart to get away from some social media platforms for a while or at least limit my time on some. There are a couple that never give me any stress and actually help encourage my faith and creativity a lot but then there are the ones that I go on and immediately feel sadness, worry, concern and just all the not so great emotions lol it’s easier said than done though!
some of the local parks here have outdoors exercise equipment set up and my 4y/o and i accidentally created a buddie meet-cute
namely: she was figuring out the hand-bike and I said "good strong arms!" in encouragement just as a nearby cute dad was demonstrating one of the push-up/pull-down bar machines with his good strong arms
i can just imagine Eddie encouraging Chris just as Buck tries out some equipment and misunderstands
