Happy Valentine's!!! Here's some love from the Groteth crew!

I totally ran out of room for Mathide but it's okay, they're making too many cookies for the photo

Spoilers for episode 34!!!

Chip visits her every year at least 3 times.

Her birthday,

Their anniversary,

Valentine's.

Each time, with fresh flowers, and he just sits and talks to her.

Mainly about life, mainly about how he's doing.

How he misses her.

It helps him cope, y'know?

TMI Tuesday!

Does he have a favorite spell?

It started as a child, he was playing tag with his cousins, running through the mazes of his parents' estate, perfect white pebbles crunching underfoot. Racing around a corner and right into the path of Mathine, his littlest cousin. There was no way he was going to be able to stop before slamming into her, so he threw up his hands to hopefully catch her instead.  

The blue of the arcane flashed between them, a tear opening up, engulfing him in stride and releasing him on the other side of the path, sliding to a stop, his heels digging in, leaving lines behind in the gravel. Mathide turned silvery eyes upon him, “Whoa…” and in her distraction her sister ran forward and tagged her, “You’re it! No tag backs!”  (Thank you for the question @losseignol )

Piece of Mind

By Vivian B

———————

Kira furrowed her brow, not entirely sure she understood the customer correctly.

“I’m sorry, what would you like, ma’am?”

“Just a finger”

“Only a finger?”

“Yes…”

Kira stared at the customer; a tallish woman, blonde hair sitting around the shoulders. She looked more or less like an average, if slightly upper class, customer that Piece of Mind would see.

———

Ever since the Anatomical Exchanging and Modifying Act was passed, anybody could now use technology to enhance themselves legally and without taxation (taxing the use of technology in this way was apparently more of a debate than anything the ‘god made man in his image’ crowd could come up with). funds were made available, scientists and engineers got to work, and pretty soon Bio-Enhancing services were cropping up all over Neo-Terra and all of its satellite colonies and dominions.

The sentiment behind the act was to ensure everybody could have a body they could be proud of, that wouldn’t hurt them physically or psychologically. No longer were the circumstances of birth something to either begrudgingly accept or try to deal with.

It should’ve been a utopia of bodily autonomy.

And then the finance bros jumped in and created franchises.

———

Kira searched through the anatomical databases… they had arms, forearms, shoulders(?), hands, muscles, tendons, veins, arteries, nerves, skin-grafting and even the growth rate of nails.

They had no fingers.

Kira should’ve told the customer that they didn’t provide services for fingers, that they could provide hands at the very least. She didn’t want to draw the ire of the boss, however…

‘IF I HEAR ONE MORE CUSTOMER HAS BEEN TURNED AWAY BECAUSE OF SOME BULLSHIT EXCUSE, YOU’RE ALL FIRED!!!!!’ screamed the angry post-it note on the wall of the break room. The manager, Jones, had left it there after one very drunk customer tried to fight Mathide when they refused to administer breast augmentation to his less than enthused spouse. After several holes punched in the wall, Jones had reluctantly decided not to fire them, just dock a week out of their pay…

Kira couldn’t afford to lose money or get fired. She was so close to finally being able to afford a full-body enhancement. She was this close to freeing herself of the body she was born in and becoming herself…

“I’m afraid we don’t have fingers only in our database…” Kira cautiously explained to the customer. “I’m going to have to consult with my colleague…” she said before nodding her head apologetically. The customer seemed to understand, or at least not scoff at the fact Piece of Mind thought about nerve endings and veins, but not fingers.

———

“Just a finger?” Mathide asked, their furry brow raised.

“That’s what she wants…” Kira sighed, massaging her temples. If she had known this problem would come up today, she wouldn’t have sampled the margarita mix gifted to her last night.

“Who the hell wants just a finger changed?” Mathide scoffed, reaching a paw for their coffee. It tasted godawful, but instant usually does. “Not even, like, the hand… just a finger?”

“She said there’s a wart she doesn’t like…” Kira responded. “Apparently getting it frozen off never crossed her mind. I can’t just refuse her, Jones will skin us alive when he gets back from Titan…”

Mathide took a sip of the coffee, their fur standing on end. Too hot…

“But it’s a finger! What does a finger even cost?!”

“Well we know a hand costs 500 credits…” Kira said, trying to do the math in her head. “We just divide that by 6 I suppose…”

“Shouldn’t the size of the finger come into play? You know how much Jones haggles people…” Mathide said.

“Since when did you care what Jones would do?” Kira chuckled darkly, dodging the empty cup thrown at her expertly.

“So we divide 500 by 6, and charge her that?”

“Sounds like the best way to go forward.”

Mathide looked at their phone and crunched the numbers. “That’s 83.33 credits…” they said with a frown.

“Great, so that’s the price we charge.” Kira said, bending down to look at the calculator. A primitive part of her reckoned standing next to Mathide would make the numbers make sense.

“But the cheapest thing we offer is altering the growth rate of nails…” Mathide explained. “That’s 90 credits. Jones wanted to charge even more but a creditcent more and that would be illegal extortion.”

“Well we don’t have much of a choice. That fucker didn’t even think about what a finger would cost…” Kira sighed. This was the last thing she needed. “Either way, Jones will kill us…”

Mathide looked up at Kira standing over them. They could sense she was stressed. Their tail involuntarily curled around her ankle gently. It was the least they could do as a friend.

Kira smiled in return. She gave Mathide a ruffle of their ears before turning to face the door.

“Need a hand?” Mathide asked, standing up. Despite being a cat hybrid, Mathide had an excellent way with customers.

“Thanks” Kira said as the two of them emerged from the break room.

———

The procedure went surprisingly smoothly for such a hassle. The atomic replacer machine was calibrated to a hand, but the customer was asked to place only the finger into the slot. The machine could recognise what body parts were placed inside so there was no risk of the finger being replaced by a small second hand.

As Kira oversaw the procedure, she felt a pang inside her. A kind of heavy feeling that clung to her heart. People like this lady could come in for something as trivial as a finger and pay as if it was pocket change. Bodies were as valuable as toilet roll to them.

Not to Kira, though. She spent 26 years being stuck in a body she never asked for. She wasn’t skilled enough to build a machine for herself that wouldn’t blow her up or turn her into soup.

Mathide got lucky. They had a friend who was an expert biohacker. They were able to hook Mathide up with their dream body. Unfortunately, that friend left for Androma a long time ago, and Kira still had nerves about going to the unregulated biohackers, despite Mathide’s reassurances.

For now, all she could do was bide her time, watch more rich assholes get custom made fingers…

112 years ago today...

112 years ago today (July 1, 1912), pioneering pilot Harriet Quimby died during a flying exhibition near Boston. What caused her monoplane to upend, throwing both her and her passenger out, has been debated for more than a century. General thought was she either hit an air pocket (something still poorly understood in 1912) or moat likely her plane (they were little more than flying bicycles at the time) had a mechanical failure.

Although I'd heard the name before, I never really knew much about Harriet. The more I learn about the actress-turned-journalist-turned-daredevil pilot, the more she comes across as a mixture of Lois Lane and Clara Oswald (that second ref will make sense to Doctor Who fans).

Here are some assorted images of Harriet I've found on the net (trying not to duplicate ones already posted by me recently):

Screencapture made off a newsreel of Harriet preparing to become the first woman to fly the English Channel. And yes that hat did come off before she got into the plane. The outfit she is wearing in this newsreel was bright purple, which was her trademark.

Harriet at right; I believe the other woman is Mathide Moissant, her best friend, fellow pilot and the second woman to become a licensed pilot in North America. Here they are in their "off-duty" outfits.

Genèse des œuvres (vidéo en ligne)

2018 - Réalisateur-rice : Plasson, Fabien

Chorégraphe(s) : Cherkaoui, Sidi Larbi (Belgium) Lambert, Fabrice (France) Quaglia, Rita (Italy) Gallotta, Jean-Claude (France) Kelemenis, Michel (France) De Keersmaeker, Anne Teresa (Belgium) Monnier, Mathilde (France) Brown, Trisha (United States) Fiadeiro, João (Portugal) Wolliaston, Elsa (France) Touzé, Loïc (France)

Auteur : Centre national de la danse

"Pour la chorégraphe Mathilde Monnier, « au début d’un projet, on devrait juste avoir à écrire : “Voici les désirs, l’état des désirs de ce projet…” On devrait juste décrire un espace, une idée, donner des notes en désordre, un carnet de notes, une image, ou décrire un mouvement, un paysage, donner quelque chose d’opaque, en pagaille… » [1]. Et pourtant, quoi que l’artiste ait pu dire de la genèse de son projet, prévient-elle, « ce que vous lisez dans la note d’intention n’est en aucun cas ce que vous verrez. »

De fait, un spectacle de danse se crée généralement en plusieurs étapes qui se situent entre le moment où s’énonce un désir initial qui lance le projet, et celui de la première représentation. Quel est, au juste, le point de départ d’une œuvre chorégraphique ? Qu’est-ce qui donne envie à un artiste de commencer un nouveau projet pour s’y consacrer ensuite pendant plusieurs mois ?

Le déroulement du processus de création varie sensiblement selon les chorégraphes. Et, en danse contemporaine, le choix du processus à mettre en œuvre fait partie intégrante de la création. Selon les artistes, les différentes étapes (conception, structuration, répétitions) se chevauchent, se suivent ou se confondent. Elles n’ont pas forcément la même importance. Pour certains, la phase de la conception sera déterminante, tout comme l’idée de départ. Pour d’autres, ce sera celle des répétitions et les principes mis en œuvre dans le temps d’élaboration en studio du spectacle.

Le travail avec les danseurs joue parfois un grand rôle dans la structuration d’une œuvre ou, au contraire, permet surtout de concrétiser ce qui a été décidé en amont par le chorégraphe. Enfin certaines propositions, notamment dans la « composition en temps réel » ou dans l’improvisation, s’appuient sur l’élaboration de la chorégraphie devant les yeux des spectateurs.

Ce sont quelques-unes de ces différentes modalités de « genèse » des œuvres que propose d’explorer ce Parcours."

I JUST LISTENED TO THE EPISODE OF TFTSD WHERE YOU'RE A CHARACTER THATS SO COOL!! ALSO WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE PC FROM EACH CAMPAIGN?? SORRY IM EXCITED :D

aaa it’s ok!!! I was sooooo excited hearing my name too LOL

as for favorite player characters… for campaign 1 Kyborg!!! He’s so goofy and silly and stupid, I honestly never expected to love him so much but omg before the Spectril brainrot i was CRAZY for Kyborg too. he’s just??? So???? HEHWHWHEHWHEHWHWHWHWHEEHWH

I think it’s also because of his whole arc in Armageddon plus his backstory… I love me a traumatized man/j

Im really struggling for the second campaign though… like ok can I be honest here? I love both campaigns, I really really do love the work the cast puts into each episode!!! But for some reason the second campaign hasn’t exactly… captured my full attention? I don’t know how to word or phrase this, but as funny and amazing and cool Groteth is… it hasn’t exactly drawn me in as much as the Infinight campaign did. I really don’t know what it is, like literally they still have the same humor, rp and y’know all that, but like… I don’t know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I really want to say though I am between Mathide and Chip, mainly cuz Chip is a tiefling rogue (assassin too) and omg I LOVOOVOVOEEEEEE that. He’s also very funny, and love how his wife is missing (I miss my wife tails. I miss her a lot.), but also Mathide is just… so relatable. LOL

I think I liked Duran and uhhhhhh what’s her name again? Barbara’s character in the mini campaign, the Euthagenia memes are taking over my head so I can’t remember her name…

I am also going to use this ask as an excuse to talk about my other favorite characters that are NOT player characters!

From the Infinight campaign, everyone that knows me or have seen my stuff SHOULD know who my favorite NPC is here. I love him so much!!! Spectril, just, AUAAUUAUAAUUAHHHH

however I would like to say that I LOVE all of the OG Infinights too! I sooooo wish we had more on Elleve and Grissly, sad the women get barely any screentime :( I also wanna know more about Fred and Elleve!!!

Back to Spectril though, there’s SO much I love about him. Not just design and voice (aka physical attraction) but literally he AUUAUAUAUGHHH

his whole little arc within Wight Winter? His introduction with his bust at the library? Just. I don’t know how to explain this without making this whole post about him. Maybe after this.

The mini campaign didn’t have many npcs… but I will say I absolutely LOVED the references to the main 4. (Well, 3. Idk if Gum Gum had one, I can’t hear for shit)

Campaign two should be a little obvious but omg I LOVE LIMBER LIZZIE. THEY ARE SO COOL. BADASS. YOU GO LIMBER LIZZIE. oh and uhhh what’s her name? Franceska? Robert’s wife also the Wolfman’s girlfriend?(/j) yeah she’s cool too
