May your hardened heart be woken By the soft and distant song Of all you left here unspoken All the shards we keep stepping on - Take this body home Take this body home Call the wind, and let her know Take this life outgrown Take this broken soul Call the stars, call them all And take it high, take it far, take it home

More MDZS and Hollow Knight! The cool bugs I found in my backyard have started to unionize.

Part 1 - Part 3

[mirchloe]

the intern program to me is fascinating from a business standpoint in comparison to the camp. with whispering rock, parents have to pay high fees for the chance for their child to attend, and pay they will, especially if they have a child with a volatile power, such as how phoebe is taught techniques how to control her flare-ups, along with presumably being provided her block by the psychonauts, or if they have a child they want to dump for the summer based on their own anti-psychic sentiments or other familial reasons, such as the issues with clem and his father and milka with her mother. it's expensive to send their child to a secret government facility, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to believe there are payment plans with parents who can't afford the immediate fees upfront.

at the camps, there is a clear recruitment in mind for eligible psychonauts. i like to imagine the motherlobe sends out agents to directly recruit cadets with the promise of a fun summer camp to hone their powers and an occupation. the location of whispering rock seems intended to remain a secret from how sasha calls it a "remote government training facility," and it's purpose is to educate young minds, mold them, train them, even if classes don't seem to be mandatory for the higher ranking cadets. that way, the psychonauts can also keep an eye on the psi cadets, even if they choose not to pursue higher education in the intern program.

but the intern program differentiates as a place of true recruitment, along with true experience. tim went on to discuss the interns as, basically, the best of the best. to paraphrase, he said they were like the heroes of their own stories, similar to raz. it's clear they're extremely talented, and the intern program is leagues above whispering rock in terms of strictness. the interns have to follow proper protocols, check in with mentors, make visible progress, etc, while at the camps, it's more easygoing with the kids having free game to come and go as they please.

for me, how the intern program works is based on the personal application of the intern's abilities. how promising will they be as a psychonaut? what are their goals? what do they want to learn, and how will they apply themselves? it's all about education and the pursuit of a career in the agency, something that raz strives for without fully realizing the impact of what it meant to be an intern. he might have saved the world, in a manner of speaking, but he's a fresh-faced kid compared to the other interns, who, seemingly, have much more experience - they just believe they're being held back. (on the other hand, i think the psychonauts can reject applicants if they don't meet specific requirements, but they're free to apply next summer and could be accepted at that later date.)

what's also interesting is how familial lineage and wealth could play a role into who gets accepted. sam gets in because not only is she highly specialized as a zoolinguist, but her grandfather is a founding member of the psychonauts. the natividads come from wealthy parents, and norma even leverages them in the lady luctopus fight, as if they could have any sway over hollis. the last thing the psychonauts need is a lawsuit, after all.

separately, i don't think they would mix in adults with the teens because adults clearly need a different level of attention. augustus is just trying out his powers, barely learning the fundamentals of pyrokinesis, while norma is simply masterful in comparison. he needs specialized training, and honestly, i think the psychonauts would charge for their services. the aquatos are clearly an exception to that rule, especially since the psychonauts are now harboring nona for her own protection against a world that would otherwise want her punished. but for other adults just discovering their powers, i think there would be discounted lessons, similar in the vein to a whispering rock class, like pyro for beginners, etc. the intern program is for teens who have already shown their psychic skills, their prowess and promise, so lumping in adults just wouldn't make sense to me, even if the adult is someone who has had clear experience with their abilities.

I feel like the ninth doctor would get on with Miles O’Brian

i do too!! i think they'd both appreciate the other's ability to sit quietly both in moments of great joy and sorrow. nine is comparably a doctor of few words and i feel like both of them have a gravity that the other would see and respect.

also they're both people who work with their hands, they both have a working class feel to them (miles comes from a union family; a lot of what chris eccelston brought to the part is his own background as a working class person) in spaces where that isn't always a good thing and i think they'd feel a solidarity over that.

bops you with a cardboard tube

All asks you send me (with an action) are now automatically forwarded to Orion. Also I drew this with my computer's touchscreen. NEVER AGAIN

Uh... I cast 'bops you back with a cardboard tube'

I'm finalizing the pricing for the sketches, but I'm planning on opening up comms later today to cover bills while I'm trying to find work!

Man now that I remember one of my closer friends from hs, I feel sad that he literally had to run away from this country to some random ass college in usa so he can live out of the closet because here that's not acceptable

kill traugott

I would love to but that's probably too good for him. His dad must really be a failure to put out such a colossal waste of space and oxygen like Traugott. It must just be that Ryhardia and Bonifatius' genes were so incompatible, brains and brawn together like that would be unstoppable so they flipped in the opposite direction. I can't think of any other reason how someone could be that blind to the world around them, especially since all he wanted was the compression method which Wilfreid's retainers were going to get eventually. And the gall to think he could become the knight commander, not only would he need to serve the archduke he'd have to prove himself more capable than those with better claims like, well, any of Rozemyne's or Wilfreid's archknights.

this happened like 6 months ago but I'm still thinking about it so like if someone sends you a song, saying along the lines of "it kind of reminds me of your music", and the song is nowhere near by yo la tengo, with lyrics like these:

and also we rarely send songs to each other over message (although we did used to talk about music/recommend songs when we knew each other irl (like 60% of our conversations were about music)), does that mean anything or am I reading too much into it...
