You're fiddling with the cuffs of your suit as you exit the changing room, a frown on your face. You're nervous— of course you are! It's not often that you're invited to a high-profile, black-tie event like this, and you'd rather not stick out like a sore thumb.
Wriothesley, who sits comfortably in a plush armchair, has been invited before though. But time and time again he's turned down the invites with some of the most ludicrous excuses. 'A monster is attacking the fortress' is one of his most used ones, closely followed by 'a bird shat on the shoulder of my suit.' But you wonder why he's accepted this time, despite his distaste for the limelight. Well, you shrug, pocketing the thought for later. At least you won't be going alone.
"What do you think?" You pose the question to him, still frowning as you look down at yourself. Did you look okay? Was the fit alright? Did this color wash you out? You had splurged on this (well. Wriothesley splurged on this, technically. He had said it's a gift) and had the suit custom-done, so it should fit your measurements to an exact, but... you frown, not able to shake off the nerves.
And it doesn't help that Wriothesley hasn't said anything since you've stepped out, either. Merely stares at you, eyes roaming your figure. Even at your question, he acts like he hadn't even heard it. Does the suit look that bad?
"Wrio?"
That seems to reach him, and he blinks, finally registering that he's been staring at you— and that you've begun to stare back.
"Oh, uh. Yeah, it looks nice on you. The tailor did a very good job," he says, glancing away, hoping you don't see the red tinge to his cheeks or his ears.
"Really?" You ask, evaluating yourself in the mirror with a frown. "I don't know. I feel like I look like a mess."
"if you look like a mess, then I dread to think what I look like," he says, glancing at you for a second, getting an eyeful of you in that damn good suit, and feels his mouth dry up again. Wriothesley turns his eyes to the corner of the room, finding the fake palm plant there incredibly interesting. Barely more interesting than you. In that very flattering suit. It emphasizes your body very well, he thinks. Makes him see just enough of you while still leaving some to the imagination. And the color you chose for it... red and black, to match what he'll wear, you said. He sighs, troubled, because just the mere memory of it has his heart racing and his palms sweating.
You keep criticizing your reflection for a while longer, and it takes just enough time for Wriothesley to work up the self-control to look your way. "You look good," he says at last. Then clears his throat. His face feels hot. "Better than good, even. You don't have anything to worry about, I promise."
It placates you, because you finally give your own reflection a rest. You back away from the mirror, humming. "If you say so. Thank you, Wrio," you tell him, flashing him a small, shy smile just before you back up into the changing room once more to take it off.
Once you're out of the vicinity, Wriothesley drops his head into his palms, groaning softly.
if he's this much of a mess around you at a fitting, he wonders how much of a fool he could make himself at the actual event.

So I've been playing a lot of Helldivers II, and it's really fun!
(at least, it is when the servers are working lmao)
Tumblr media
However: there is one thing about the game that annoys me. It's the same thing that always annoys me whenever drop pods are mentioned in science fiction.
Nobody ever seems to get them right!
Tumblr media
Whenever drop pods show up, they always seem to depict each pod as a single projectile rocketing towards the surface of a planet, usually behind enemy lines. They're the logical sci fi evolution of airborne infantry dropping in by parachute, because a lot of military sci fi tropes have trouble moving past WWII. And, y'know, that's fine. That's not the issue I have.
The issue is the single projectile part.
It's almost like every writer who includes drop pods forget that anti-aircraft weapons and SAM sites are currently a thing in the real world and would almost certainly still exist and be better in the science fiction space future. Those drop pods rocketing towards the surface would present the juiciest targets imaginable and would almost certainly get shot out of the sky before they even got close to impacting on the surface.
Annoyingly, the only sci fi that I know of to ever get drop pods right is the first one to ever do it: the Starship Troopers novel by Robert Heinlein.
Now, say what you will about Heinlein - and I do, quite often. For the most part, he's not that great of a writer, and his politics are terrible. The man was an asshole who loved writing wet farts of fascist porn, and the novel absolutely pales in comparison to Paul Verhoeven's 1998 masterpiece of satire, where he took one look at the book, rolled his eyes, and started making jerk-off motions.
But when I first read the novel when I was, like, 6 years old, I was a dumbass child and didn't notice (or care) about the... I mean, I'd call it "fascist subtext" except that it's literally just The Text. No, what drew me in was the one singular thing Heinlein was actually good at writing: technical sequences, written from an in-universe lens.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The way he described how the drop pods actually work in the first few pages of the novel - and, more importantly, how they don't immediately get shot out of the sky - is great! It makes sense, it's easy to understand (because Johnny Rico is, let's be honest: an idiot, he's not going to give you a complicated explanation), and it fills in a plot hole you never realized was there.
For as many faults as the man had as both a writer and a human being, and for all the many problems the rest of the book has, that first chapter - and specifically the drop pod sequence - is a great hook.
Like, this is the template for drop pods. This is The Thing that people are referencing whenever drop pods show up in sci fi, like in fucking Halo, or Starcraft, or Warhammer 40k. And everyone always seems to forget the single most important thing about this infantry delivery system: the countermeasures.
I dunno. This is just one of those things that's always annoyed me.

This is a month late, but I wanted to post about my little adventure last month in town. The original post on my blogspot blog came with photos, but here I wanted to post most of the photos seperately.
I like looking online for events to attend. I'm very much a homebody, but I like to push myself outside my comfort zone by attending social events so I can experience new places and people.
This can be tricky in December, as I don't celebrate christmas, but almost every local event seems to be christmas-related. However, I did find one - a local Winter Market Event. I set out to attend during the afternoon, and sadly it was a rainy day. The parking downtown is a shit show, everything is paid parking which makes me anxious. I found myself a shitty parking spot, wrestling with the payment machine - while being rained on - and headed towards the event building. I'm glad the marketplace was hosted inside, so I could have some time to dry off.
The marketplace itself was pretty nice. There were a lot of folks selling clothes. The first vendor I visited was a pair of gals selling lots of LGBTQ merch. I bought a "can't pray us away" shirt for my wife and I. They've got a website here.
Next I found an gal selling her art. She has two really pretty pieces of paintings on carved wood - a fox and skunk. I bought both of them and she seemed really happy someone wanted to buy her art, so I was glad I came by. :) Her online artist name is "Rising Goddess Art", she has an etsy page here.
Lastly, I found a fellow selling some old games. They were pretty pricey, so I just picked one out - Need for Speed Underground 2. I was later a bit troubled by this purchase, as it was about 40 bucks but came with no manual and the disc looks scratched up as hell. I hope it actually works. I am baffled by how some people treat their game discs so horribly…
After leaving the market, I was feeling pretty hungry. There was food trucks right outside that I really wanted to get some fries from, but with it raining, I passed them up as soggy french fries didn't sound very appetizing.
I walked back toward where I parked next to one of my favorite local clothing stores "Cheap Thrills" This is a very gay, colorful and good-sized clothing store with all sorts of neat vintage and used clothes. I found a nice sweatshirt and bought it before leaving.
Lastly, I was on the hunt for some macaroon cookies. I was surprised that I hadn't been able to find any at Harps earlier, but I did find out there was a local business selling some - Alchemy Macaroons. I followed the google maps directions to find the place, but kept getting lost. Did I mention that downtown Fayetteville is a mess to navigate? I ended up finding an underground tunnel with a flower shop in it, which was pretty neat (brought back memories of the old flower shop I used to work in), before coming back up to the street level and finally finding the little cookie shop.
it had big glass doors and a stark white interior. Nobody was around, but there was a service bell that I rung, and a nice lady came out to sell me a pack of macaroons. I waited til I got home to try one, as I didn't want soggy cookies. They were quite tasty and worth the trouble.
Here's a bonus shot of all the goodies I got that day!

Month two and things are... Not looking worse? I mean... Things are about as bad as they have been... But balancing has gotten better! Yea... This isn't going exactly how Sunday thought it would. FUN SKUNK FACT! Skunks will stamp the ground with their paws to threaten away would be predators and things they don't like. If they start to do a little hand-stand, they're about to spray you with musk! Isn't that neat?

I have to imagine something to this effect has been asked before, but how’d u come up w the name Smunker?
i dont like giving fursonas names because it took me forever to pick my nickname Cheye as a name for myself bc nothing else fit, I don't often like any other names for myself. And refering to a sona as self would be embarrassing considering I self ship with ocs.
So my sonas all have funny names like Skunker, Quacker, or no names at all, etc.
A few yrs ago this image was posted in a subreddit I was in and that was It
Tumblr media
I think its funny ppl always send me this like no way...smunk..., bc this is literally the origin of me calling him smunker LOL
