Robin Williams. Matthew Perry. Jim Carrey. My icons and idols when I was growing up.

I don‘t know, but I have the feeling Kurt really likes Siberia.

being a tf2 fan has you searching shit like "us draft 1968" "us military drafts" "wars united states participation" "vietnam war drafts"

#its about fucking scout yeah #BTW EDIT. im talking about the vietnam war here #is he a draft dodger? did he not get picked? where do his dog tags come from? #did he get drafted but not sent to the battlefield? #also. ww2. which of the mercs fought. #spy. probably fought. maybe (probably) not on the front lines #heavy. im saying he didnt fight because he ran from a gulag and the lived in siberia. #soldier. we all know. #medic. IF he fought then probably def not on tbe front lines but im more inclined to say he didnt fight #as in he ran to switzerland or america or smth. for my personal reasons #demo. good question actually. im saying he didnt fight #a) would he be of age to fight? b) would he qualify for medical reasons? c) would his moms influence exclude him? #this shit is gonna get me googling scotlands involvement in ww2 #i want to say he didnt fight #engie. hm. did engineer from hit game team fortress 2 fight in the second world war. #i want to say he didnt but he probably (realistically) did #(except its tf2 universe so. whats realistic. is ww2 even canon in tf2 universe.)(lets assume it is as canon as it is irl) #if pyro fight they werent in the military they were just there for some reason. happy to be included in any bloodshed #sniper (by comics canon) is i think too young to have fought. also hes australian. #this shit is gonna have me googling australian involvement in ww2 #holy shit #delete later

#for my anon mutual who said they liked hearing me talk about the pub quizzes i go to #we won by 0.5 points today #and in one of the questions we had to guess the performer of a song - and it was an obscure dora/esc contender from this year #that i only recognized bc a friend sent me the song a couple of weeks ago BECAUSE THEY USED TO BE CLASSMATES #and even then i didn't remember the name but a teammate extrapolated it from the Context Clues lol #i also won us the 3pt question because i knew m@rtin shkrell bought the only copy of that wu tang clan album in 2018 #and another 2pts by knowing who played catwoman in the 60s #also did u guys kno that juraj križanić spent 5 years as a prisoner IN SIBERIA bc i sure didn't

... hey can I be a bad fan for a second?

Is there a canon location stated for Ramattra's omnium? I know in the short story it's described as being "under ice and rock" and unfit for human habitation, but is it ever stated explicitly where that is?

#i cant remember if i write it as being in antarctica bc that's just my guess or if they said it somewhere #bc i feel like it has to be somewhere SUPER isolated to have never been discovered by humans in the three decades since #and since Mei went undisturbed for like 8 years in antarctica it would make sense #since otherwise id guess Siberia or tucked into the Himalayas but i would think #both are JUST populated enough that someone would notice EVENTUALLY #kat talks

what if, when after the master is like "leave now or die" in potd to the doctor, the doctor had just done that. what would the master have done

okay okay i know like carnage or whatever but lets say they did some planning first, on the way over, time machine and all that. the doctor, in an uncharacteristic bit of having learnt from past mistakes, being like "okay yaz listen heres how this usually goes. he probably has earth hostage in some way, or else just a mid-sized crowd. this scheme works with one hostage honestly but hes an exhibitionist. hes extremely predictable and we all know what he wants, which is me, so heres what we're gonna do"

figure out who/what/where the hostages are, how theyre being threatened, call in help from all the friends currently at their disposal to make sure those are freed or removed or whatever hes using to threaten them is made unusable, either cut the wires of the big red button, or interfere with his radio so he cant say Go, whatever they can figure out first, then they go to naples, do the same scene, and when the master is like "leave or die" the doctors like "okay! come on yaz"

and the master runs after them like "nononono heyheyheyhey you cant do that?? i will kill a guy!" and the doctors like "yep i heard you, but being erased from existence isnt really the day i was planning on having so, rip. i dont know your guy"

and then they go sit in the tardis with popcorn like 12 at the start of world enough and time with kate on the line for back up and watch him lose his mind

#'dimitri but then the entire plot of potd doesnt happen' ye i dont care abt plot #i wanna see the doctor fuck w him #think itd be funny #like he will figure out his machinations have been thwarted of course #all that dalek and cyberman stuff i dont really get it all tbh #but then he still needs the doctor right? so whats he gonna do #go home tail between his legs do another 8 years in siberia sulking? coming up with a new plan? #the doctor like: huh. that was easy #does he just get desperate? #does he just get stupid (but plot twist it works)? #like does he just go knock on the tardis door like doctooooorrrrr #you woooooonnnnn #is the doctor like yaz go to your room #my whAT #Your Room Go To Your Room im gonna talk to him #im backup! #nuh uh you wanna be in your room for this

i always forget people make crime & punishment fanart until i come across raskolnikov (i follow his tag) fanart... i miss him tbh... i want to reread that book

#i would say i need to finish the brothers karamazov but i haven't read it in a year #i'd have to restart #also have demons sitting unread on my shelf #i miss dostoevsky though #it's easy to go back and read nakahara's poetry but a lot of work to go back and read dostoevsky #he is so good though #issues notwithstanding but honestly you have to deal with at least one of them with every author #what can you do #professor was talking about siberia in japanese history class today and i was just thinking about notes from a dead house the entire time #i keep thinking about that post i saw that said something about dostoevsky's writing having no humor #whoever is saying that has not read like 2 pages of his books #the number of pictures i have of funny quotes i saw in those books......

[newdayslinguine]

#one actually hilarious thing about my relationship is the following #and I've never said this to anyone #but yk how there's this theory about the song Mastermind which says that every girl is actually a mastermind when it comes to #calculating circumstances so that they end up with their crush #well #the issue arises when you're on totally different brain frequences #add to that the fact that frankly i am completely unhinged #so at some point i saw that she had a certain word in her bio #i recognized that word as a certain indigenous tribe in siberia so knowing that she studied anthropology i naturally started a conversation #with her about siberian tribes #turns out she didn't know anything about the subject #months later i found out that the word i had recognized to be the name of a siberian tribe was coincidentally also slang for #something unrelated in my girlfriend's language #this is wild and extremely funny to me #i had also tried to talk about post modern sociology to her because i thought she had mentioned a certain academic to me when #we first met but she also knew jack shit about that #and that's one instance too many thay i have tried to be a nerd to someone who is not #don't ask why i know names of siberian tribes

can we all agree that the littlest wachowski is smarter than that crazy mustache guy? the dude couldn’t even find that cave in siberia without having to follow him and sonic!

Awww! You guys! That’s so sweet and insulting! Sweet for me, insulting for Robotnik, that is.

#Tails talks #300 IQ my butt Eggman! #You couldn’t even find your own way to Siberia!

I forgot how bloodthirsty and cruel Cygnus Hyōga was.

Like no hesitation, he kills you immediately.

Doesn't give you a second to back off. 😭😂

He's one of the good guys at that!

2, 7, 13, 20, 23 for Vincent? :cat_cheer: (me desperately trying not to send 10+ questions :sweating:)

WELL YOU SHOULDVE SENT ME 10+ QUESTIONS!!! :YAOcato: 😤

2. what was your original concept for this character? how did playing them change that concept?

(replied to this already but here’s a slightly different version :))

he started out as a base, emo version of V, around his mid-20s, black buzz cut, black eyes, neck tattoo, piercings (all vanilla). pretty much followed the original streetkid lore, met all the NPCS, got the relic etc. born to lower/mid class family, abusive home life, ended up on the streets pretty early, got into cage fights to survive pretty standard boring backstory back then 🤷‍♂️

the best decision ever made was to scrub that entire timeline, make him 3 times older and turn him into an old ex-military grump we now all know and love. from a V character (even though the name stayed out of nostalgia) following the original events of the main game he became a full fledge separate being with his own original backstory and doesn’t follow the canon, and if he does (still working on that timeline) it’s different from what happens in the game.

essentially from a young hotshot merc he became a veteran, lone wolf, tired of being a merc as he’s been in the business for over 20 years now, outliving most of the young mercs in NC due to high mortality rates of this occupation, became a legend sitting on top of the Afterlife food chain

7. there’s a magic item (or technological innovation, or special resource) made just for them—what is it?

a custom-built, bulletproof military full-body armor-suit with a masking device that can be activated in whatever environment, eliminating the need for a ghillie suit. the built-in camouflage allows the user to blend in with their environment, kind of like a chameleon, turning invisible to a naked eye, only being seen as a lineless blur if you squint hard enough. only way to spot the person wearing it would be using infrared cameras.

13. what are some motifs you associate with them? did you intentionally bring in those motifs, or did it happen over time?

i never really thought of any motifs for him, but maybe the journey motif? both in the literal sense and metaphorically – a journey within one’s self. he went through a lot, underwent many changes, made many mistakes, learned from them, outgrew certain things, realized other. he’s pushing 60 so he’s journey was pretty long, and still continues to be as his story isn’t quite over yet.

but also he’s constantly looking and searching for something that’s just out of reach, despite being on top of the world. the Sisyphus motif could partially work as well 🤷‍♂️ found family motif too maybe? can’t think of any more motifs shshsh

20. what attracts them to someone—platonically and/or romantically, anything counts.

intentionally or not, all of the people he associates with tend to be very dark individuals – tall, shady-looking, dark hair, dark clothes; generally speaking — people who you would usually avoid at first glance. the less unapproachable you look/seem the bigger chance of Vincent actually being interested. emo cryptid, punk-like aesthetic, dark, freshly pressed-suits is what will grab his attention rather than flashy, neon colors and neokitsh fashion. he tends to feel a pull towards people similar to him (vibe, aesthetic, look, similar views on things), he’s not gonna go for a young, loud, happy person wearing all the colors of the rainbow at the same time – so a typical NC resident – but for someone more quiet, calculating, sad and depressed, someone who stands out with how little they stand out. also very much helps if you’re a rockerboy, some emo singer wtvr or a cowboy nomad yeehaw.

23. in what moment did they consider themselves to be “grown up”?

first time would be when he entered his “rebellious era” after being sent to a boarding school in his early teens, of course he considered himself all grown up, knowing better than anyone else. but life later made him realize he wasn’t all that grown up to begin with.

so probably the actual moment he considered himself to be grown up was after his army days and what happened in Siberia after he went MIA. he learned many valuable lessons, seen too much death and realized certain values that before meant nothing to him. it’s when he formulated a creed of sorts for himself, set of rules to abide by in his life to not lose himself and end up like those who perished while serving with him (both in the Marines and the Siberian SIDS Program). you could say all the trauma made him grown up considerably fast too.

#next time don’t hold back 😌✌️ send me ALL the questions you want #thanks for the ask 🖤🐁 #oc: vincent elijah vahn #maybe one day i’ll talk in more detail about his Siberia days but so far i only have a vague idea

[the-sea-anemone]

misspelled "same" as "sane" which produced the strangely poetic sentence "in January of that sane year," however the year in question is 1928 and the context is the implementation of the first collectivization/dekulakization measures in the ussr so it's also. very factually incorrect

#history #stalin going around siberia talking to the peasants like why do you suck at farming #sir have you considered that YOU suck at farming (by which i mean have never farmed anything in your life)
