this is the first one of these i've done in a few years, because it's the first year i didn't lose enough months to lethargy and depression to feel like it wasn't worth filling in. i didn't knock it out of the park every month, but i made something worth showing, and that's an accomplishment to me.
I read the wonderful Gideon The Ninth a few months ago (thank you to the most excellent @friendamedes for the rec <3) and tried my hand at drawing all the necromancers as a character design exercise! it was a lot of fun :)
1 like = 1 kick to my ass so that I can be bullied into finally reading the rest of the series (i really want to! i just have a hard time focusing on books!)
honestly i do think etho is one of the funniest hermits in hermitcraft vault hunters and its at least in part because he's not making videos much, so we mostly see him in the videos of other people. which means that it feels very much like "one day etho was still kind of uncertain how the game worked and living in a pile of shulker boxes and we looked away for a minute and suddenly he's level 70, has an op lucky hit build, one of the most coherent and lovely bases on the entire vault hunters server, and knows more about the game than iskall, how did that happen." like every time we look away from him we look back and he's gone even more insane. it's so funny,
Ok, I recently wrote an essay [here] talking about the definition and duties of civil engineering as well as the ethics because of the brain rot @swordfright gave me with calling Dream Sam’s ultimate engineering project. So, because I actually am a civil engineer I took it upon myself to design the title and summary of quantities sheets just like I do at work for roads but with Dream as the project instead. And in honor of angst day sponsored by @sixteenth-day-event, I figured I’d share it because I feel like it kinda works for the prison of the mind prompt.
“Sam’s “ultimate engineering project” he deemed too damaged like a bumpy road or crumbling building that wasn’t worthy of patching and filling in the cracks or reinforcing, that’s too eroded to be fixed and preserved. So, Sam strived to tear him down to the bedrock so he could remake, remold, and reengineer Dream according to his design for the common safety, public health and well-fair.”
{These are very similar to the actual sheets I make day to day, which I shall not share for the sake of doxing my location, but yea pretty much everything has a significance. Some of it doesn’t necessarily make sense but that was because I was more so taking inventory of what we see in lore (so you know I counted ;) lol)}

Anyways the fallout show is a million times funnier if you remember that ten years ago this part of the setting was like. Regular ass people. The NCR was supposed to be a fairly normal and recognizable country by today’s standard. They had offices and factories and election campaigns and taxes and shit.
Which just goes to show that the real message of fallout is that your average American is five years of lawlessness away from dressing in leathers and trying to chew our neighbors face off in the ruins of a Walmart parking lot
