What Are You Doing to Take Care of Those You Love?
Last Tuesday, our team launched Season 3 of our Lagralane Spirits podcast. The theme this year is all about Bourbon. And thank God, because after doing this work, you need a damn drink! Podcasting is no joke. Everyone says, “Hey, do a podcast!”… but very few people talk about how much gosh darn work it takes to do a podcast! It is insane! One would think that you could just hook up a mic to…

was rewatching fabian’s baron moment on account of it being the most delicious piece of pvp in my recent memory and ally beardsley’s growth as a player just shone through so brightly and with such clarity. after dusting off their shock they immediately asked about the nemesis ward, had enough knowledge about fellow pcs stocked to remember adaine’s ac with such like frustrated confidence and certainty, suggested to siobhan to dimension door out of adaine’s room, like. they came into this making a character with 4 dex. and now the dice deity offered to roll a check to sense if adaine was in danger. making decisions, asking questions, getting invested in the story, trying so hard with the tools they have to save characters from danger; ally beardsley is an incredible d&d player.
#blahblah tried to fly with a ribbon dancer SHUT UP. SHUT UP THEY HAD A VISION.#margaret encino’s call to the guards in battle of the brands is also a good moment#‘bonus action pick up a turtle and kiss it’ is CHARMING and FUNNY and APPRECIATES the art team#i swearrr to god if anyone comments abt them trying to railroad other players' actions. what the fuck do you want from them.#u hate when they play kristen as unserious when she’s literally a teenager with adhd + when theyre literally a comedian on a d&d comedy sho#but if theyre invested in other pc’s welfare youll shut them down too? bffr#ally beardsley you are so special to me#fully aware theyre an adult who likely does not care about people on the internet talking abt how theyre doing their job. as they should#they dont need defending they shouldnt need it people should just be normal abt them and until they are beardsley get behind me#yna.txt#fantasy high junior year spoilers#fhjy spoilers#fantasy high junior year#fhjy#dimension 20#d20#ally beardsley

The Atlassian CEO Mike Cannon-Brookes, James Vowles and Jenson Button were together today on a Conference for Atlassian Team’ 25 Event, and the CEO took the time to tell an anecdote about how impressed he was by Carlos attitude on Australia:
“Netflix and cameras are all gone, no one cares anymore in that side of garage. And I saw Carlos walk in, he went to every single member of his pit crew, one by one, thanked each of them. That’s the classiest move I’ve seen someone do.”
And James Vowles saying how Carlos is above all a TEAMPLAYER
“That’s Carlos. Carlos in the moment of it, the team is bigger than him and he wanted the team to be successful above himself. That’s extraordinary, and that’s what he’s all about”
🤍
#Everyone who meets Carlos Sainz is instantly smitten about how genuinely good and kind Carlos is#His antis tried to say he is not a team player and he is manipulative when everyone who works with Carlos only have the biggest praises#My beloved Carlitos#I love when people see who is#carlos sainz jr#carlos sainz#james vowles#jenson button#atlassian williams racing#williams racing

this point has been made before but santos and langdon are 100% written as mirrors to each other and if santos had been a man there would have been 15000000 meta posts about his snark and impulsivity being a cover for deep-seated emotional issues and his childhood but since santos is a woman she's a huge bitch who needs to get humbled. which by the way has already happened multiple times over the course of the past 10 episodes but i guess to appease the masses foaming at the mouth to see a woman crucified we need a full scene of idk robby yelling at her that shes a fuckup in front of the entire ER
#the pitt#DONT PISS ME OFFFF#trinity santos#they dont get you like i do.........#literally she and langdon act the exact same about patients#they give slightly offensive nicknames and whine about the boring cases and are not very good team players#you could also argue that langdon is older and should know better!!!#but santos annoys him because she's so much like him and he cant stand that!#dont get me wrong. i think javadi and whitaker should get to rib her and/or trip her in the hallway one time each because she IS mean#and the nicknames are mean!#but you ppl need to learn how to be normal about mean women!!!!!#she fits the asshole with a heart of gold trope down to a t but since shes not a man people cant stand her i hate it here#captain's log#what annoys me the most i think is ppl saying that she doesnt have empathy when she was out there threatening to kill a pedo.... be serious

realizing that only a handful of you at most would know the impact of boyfriend monreal. that's so crazy. they were everything. Everything. they were the team darling. they were loved by everyone on the mints. they were such a good baserunner. i remember watching the game where they got incinerated, i was at my waiter job, fully ignoring my tables, because boyfriend was unstable during a solar eclipse during one of the LAST GAMES OF THE SEASON and i was PRAYING they wouldn't get incin'd. and when they did...
GOD I MISS THEM STILL. I CANT PUT INTO WORDS HOW MUCH I MISS THEM
#i didnt even really love them for lore reasons they were just like#such a good player on my favorite team and they had such a good name and they were so cute i loved all the art people made of them#And then we got pudge . im on the pudge hater train sorry#the old breath mints green in the screenshot... its making me so nostalgic.... thats how you know this is a s7 moment#quincy.txt#blaseball

Do you think it is possible for the other trolls to gaslight Eridan into do the murder for the right cause? E.g. not like the murderstuck in the canon but guiding his murderous direction to align with the purpose, using him as a disposable glass cannon and a cannon fodder to take down enemies? but not easily disposable due to seadweller's physical strength and his fighting skills. Not the optimal way to handle him but given that he needs some presence of others how will this scenario go?
no because i believe eridan is the specific type of idiot that you can't actually manipulate because he doesn't listen to people. god bless 🫡
#like there is a reason that smart and manipulative characters like terezi and vriska never try that shit with him#and its because he's easy to fool but he is really hard to control#he is like a train that has slipped its tracks and is coming directly at you#the train isnt very smart either but good luck redirecting it#this is in large part because he operates almost entirely on emotion and vibes#ultimately what sparks his breakdown isn't any logical loss of hope#but the FEELING of being completely abandoned and having nobody in his corner worth protecting or saving#and unfortunately - as we see with jake - hope player innate instincts are incredibly powerful#(it ties in with a general idea in homestuck that instincts are correct but naive & cynical realism is incorrect but mature#& a balance needs to be struck in order to be healthy happy and productive)#eridan is like usually bare minimum half-right about stuff#he's right when he identifies rose as the rich girl of the group#he's right when he identifies kanaya as having red feelings for vriska#he's right when he nearly points out how stupid karkat's past/future compartmentalization is#and. he's right to not actually be casteist#so you can pretty easily trick him; he's a kind of gullible idiot#but you can't play mind games with him & Logic and Facts and Rhetoric don't work either#the team might get him to martyr himself on the front lines by imploring him to help them because theyre sooo weak#but the thing is he would do that without being tricked into it. that's literally just the type of guy he already is#like that's what angel killing was in his mind - an extension of his orphaner duties#which (no matter how many contradictory and fallacious justifications he may make) were duties he performed to keep his friends safe#otoh literally nothing except reaching the absolute complete end of his emotional rope could make him give up on that#like compared to vriska and gamzee it took a FUCKTON to get eridan to snap#eridan ampora

rempe and the constant defending of him piss me off so bad. that guy should not be in the nhl and probably not be playing hockey period with the level of actual danger he presents for such a tiny sample size. like it is fucking absurd how every time i have to hear his name it's bc he basically mauled a guy or injured him and you have half of rangers fans acting like he's just a baby deer who doesn't know what he's doing and he WANTS to be a hockey player in the nhl based on his merit and not just his physicality 🥺👉👈. like news flash, he's not that and he's actively dangerous. holy shit
#like do they just have zero competent hockey players on their ahl team is that why he keeps getting the callup#theyre like oh troubas gone NOW we can bring up our other concussion maker no problem#its so FUCKED and stupid holy shit irdk how good or cute of a person he is#hes kinda like the reaves antithesis in a way#reaves gets the whole Tough Guy Will Kill Someone Out There#and then does fuck all#rempe gets the whole. Bambi who Doesnt Know what hes doing and then actually headhunts and injured lmfao#'he doesnt mean to' i mean he is literally a fucking giant and JUMPING into hits#and elbowing ppl in the neck and head like sorry#idc how much the rangers actions have Encouraged that he still shouldnt do it and hes a full blown adult#not some innocent child who doesnt know better

Thinkin bout how every Eliot episode is him having the opportunity to do something other than be a weapon and a tool (for the army or some govt or Nate) and he always finds that he really likes it and is good at it, even to the point of ditching the job temporarily to have fun for himself. But ultimately at the end of the day he always goes back to the team and to being a weapon its just so spicy and tragic but at the same time it's because they're his family and his home
#he's a chef and a fashion consultant and a baseball player and a country singer#and he is good and successful at every one of these things#and if he was able to see himself as a man deserving of happiness he COULD be any of these things#but he's gotten himself trapped in his role and he wont give up on the team#UGH#the MMA episode is good too bc its something he likes but he only knows how to kill#leverage#clare screams#thinkin bout#eliot spencer

i always feared becoming a toxically mean sports person about rivalries and injuries and fannish expression i never even thought about the kind of person id be in the face of under-researched trade proposals + sloppy player evaluations. is anyone watching the games or do we just clock in at the fantasy hockey factory and go buck wild without regard for the game that is being played in front of our eyes
#yeah secondary assists totally dont matter until you watch the games and that puck was won by the guy who got the secondary assist#and broke the puck out of the zone cleanly haha tactical empathy doesnt exist there are no players who are#exceptionally good at understanding how to pass in a way that doesnt handcuff their teammate and those skills make NO difference#to a players performance its all just vibes-based and also the data tells me everything yippee <3#how can people be so fucking wrong about the eye-test AND stats AND synthesising them to come to a coherent and correct evaluation#deep breaths. we r all learning we r all engaging with teams on different terms we r all valid etc etc.#puckposting

Happy birthday to the Deep Rivers Society guy!
#the world ends with you#neo the world ends with you#neo twewy#ntwewy#fuya kawahara#my art#okay so THIS nobody's birthday is on pi day but minamimoto's isn't? i see how it is...#jokes aside. i think fuya acts as an interesting foil to rindo#he ultimately fails because he's unable to properly lead his team. he just kind of expects everyone to show up#and doesn't (to our knowledge) put in the effort to understand and accommodate for his team's needs#this is in contrast to how at the end of the game rindo is able to work with his whole team#and even more people than that#to make a miracle happen#so i think fuya is a good look at how rindo could've ended up#if he didn't smoothen out his leadership+relationship skills and grow a backbone#that being said. while fuya is narratively interesting from that view#he isn't that memorable of a character#in terms of characterization i overall find him lacking#but idk. maybe there are some real fuya enthusiasts out there that like to read between the lines of his character#i am sadly not a part of that group (but i would love to hear from them!)#anyway. i kinda wonder about birthdays in the ug#do reapers players etc celebrate holidays (birthdays included)? or do their duties keep them occupied?#imagine being in the game loop from neo and watching the days and months pass#unable to celebrate any holiday. party with any friend. just eat good food and relax#at that point erasure would be better than continuing on#i like to think that a small amount of time at least is made for special occasions. a cupcake for a birthday before the next mission

cant stop thinking about pro-exy player andrew before he ends up on the same team as neil having a multi-million dollar salary but living alone for the first time in his life. with neil in college for another year and aaron in med school and nicky in germany he has no other choice but to live entirely for himself
#aftg#andrew minyard#like why does this make me so sad i know its probably#good for him in hindsight but i dont want him to be alone!!#wonder how long he lived like that before neil and the cats moved in#like exy players in universe have on average a 3 million dollar salary so he wouldnt need roommates#like was it hard for him to adjust or did he actually find the quiet relaxing#we know from the EC that his first team didnt really feel comfortable around him and the coach eventually traded him#so it was probably lonely#all for the game#nora sakavic

this chapter made me so emo about Keiichi. I still don't really get what his deal is but for him to start out as a bully and a petty rival, and then this??
boy loves his hometown so much that he literally has no greater ambition than to live and die in it. meanwhile his brother has his sights on the NHL; Rou is aiming for the Olympics. is it heartwarming that Keiichi treasures his home so much that he can't see anything beyond it, or sad that he has hundreds of photos of the same factory smokestack that he's already planning to die staring at??
I don't know. but Noda could have easily made Keiichi the hotshot rival who thinks he deserves the best in the world, but instead he made Keiichi a big fish dreaming only of his small pond.
(from Dogsred ch. 28)
#there's also the extra layer of how these chapters keep casually bringing up how fleeting this all is#19 year winning streak destroyed in a day. the winners? town destroyed in a tsunami in a day#last year's hotshot players now public enemy number one#'your dad would have been the best player on the team if wasn't for the injury in college'#it feels like everyone who goes into professional sports has to acknowledge what a short shelf life there is#you get ten good years maybe twenty and then you have to retire and do something else#keiichi's lack of ambition is kind of surprisingly refreshing. he wants to play for the local asia league team and thats it#you shouldn't HAVE to aim for worldwide recognition! VERY few people will ever get that!#but at the same time. keiichi just keeps saying 'we just gotta win our throne back' but almost everyone else around him is thinking about#what comes after that. what else they want to do.#in the last chapter keiichi looked down on rou because he thought rou was bringing down their chances of regaining the throne#but rou immediately shot back that all keiichi is aiming for is high school while he's aiming for the olympics#like. you cant BE rivals when it turns out youre aiming for different things!#anyway im rambling#its like theres some instinct in keiichi that recognizes this is fleeting this can't go that far. keep your dreams pragmatic#dogsred#manga caps#dogsred caps

I know some people are upset with the route they've gone for this season of SR, I'm personally fine with it, like they've said they did rush into the campaign and didn't get to establish world building much, and like Mace said during the break, the story is about the Stardust Rhapsody, which is the ship itself, characters come and go much like the ship and small crew they've taken inspiration from.
I think the only complaint I may have is having a character that doesn't speak common, it does make for funny situations where Derek gets to improvise his response, but having him not able to have significant conversations with anyone else? That's part of the heart of these campaigns, building the relationships between characters, so having him be essentially silent to everyone else is going to affect that :/
#tk speaks#legends of avantris#stardust rhapsody#stardust rhapsody spoilers#i am wondering if these two are temporary since so far they've only been hired for this job#and Pyke mentioned someone else from the prison that would be good for their team#which makes me wonder if nikkie or kels are joining the group in the future#or if they've known these two will be temporary and just set that up for either derek or mikey to be playing 'her'- whoever she is#but idk we'll see how this goes#I've seen some people say they're not going to continue watching because the characters they liked are gone now#and i get that - Kavir was definitely my fav and i understand why that had to happen#but the characters that are in the campaign are up to the players that are sitting at the table and not us#having a whole year for hiatus gave them a lot of time to think about their characters and where they wanted to go with it#and this is what they determined was best for the campaign going forward

i just realized that rek is the strong teammate in the sticklers . like he has 15? 16? hearts atm, hes very rich in items always, and hes actually decent at pvp— he'd be even better if he locked in as well, he just chooses not to focus on pvp
#lifesteal spoilers#the sticklers#rekrap2#technically both jumper and ro are his little chungus teammates#but ro is just most certainly THE chungus of the team /very very aff#jumper is like ur average peaceful player ig#while ro is so poor and like silly that he could realistically be banned if he had a shitty session LOL#but yeah realizing how many hearts rek is on is crazy#hes like frfr the strongest stickler#which is good bc like jumper needs that since she is Terrified Of Being Dropped Always#but idk if hes realized hes the strong and reliable teammate rn yet

This is SO laughably absurd??? A social media manager / PR person's job is to follow the team and spin the season's narrative to the fans, allowing that inside peek at behind the scenes that fans get so curious about? If nyc management is going to be this archaic about it, why not just hire a man and let him actually do his job -_- because you know. Those slutty slutty suductresses are gonna go have dinner with players if they stay in the same hotel. This is so fucking stupid, what is this the 50s when women weren't allowed to travel unchaperoned. And at the RINK too??? Like wtf lol. This explains why the rangers social media has gone from homophobic but good to paltry and superfluous.
#Nyr boots liveblog#Im sooooo mad because the team right now can be sooooooooooo good we saw it last year#Like get mikas confidence back let bread get healthy and they could really have a chance this year too#We KNOW how good kreids is in playoffs#I think the one glaring weakness was that the rangers were not a physical team at all#And now theyve gone and got rid of one of the only controversial physical players so now its really really not a physical team#I mean theres a reason the stupid philly bullies kept winning#I suspect its the only reason the florida team did so well against the rangers last year#But like that troch bread and laffy line???? Effing brilliant why cant the team capitalize on that#Instead of causing all this drama and bad vibes
