My sister Zoe died about this time, 4:40-5:30 pm a year ago today.
She painted the above water color in 1983. I think that the woman in the pool is her. A self portrait. Maybe this was her image of what post death existence would be like.
Some of my favourite bits from Sooper Secrets and Boomerang Bloopers part two
The fact that this is 95% a persona she’s putting on for her objective
Nigel needs therapy Part 2. Lizzie probably has to encourage this behaviour because she’s a GKND operative
HERBIE SECTION HERBIE SECTION HERBIE SECTION Guys he’s an important character he got his own section trust me (coping)
He’s autistic your honour. Also intrigued by the fact he gets every top secret mission assignment. Guys he’s important I SWEAR!!
I just thought these were an interesting tidbit
Herbie agrees that Nigel needs to chill. Probably because he’s annoyed at being called so much. Also not to overthink a tie in book but, first name basis?
The fact that Kuki can just speak to animals but I haven’t seen any fans do something with it
FANNY SECTION FANNY SECTION FANNY SECTION
This just made me laugh. Again, not to overthink a tie in book but Fanny thinking Rachel would agree makes sense when you consider what Rachel said at the end of op fugitive (“I'm ashamed to call you a girl! I never thought a girl could be so stupid!”). Also moonbabes crumbs so Gay!! Part 4
These two together makes me think that Fanny hating boys wasn’t because of some major turning event in her life like a lot of people portray. It was just something that built up over years and she just got ruder lmao. Also any Decom lore crumbs are very appreciated here
As someone who lives with a ten year old boy, I don’t doubt this for a second
Everyone shitting on numbuh 13. Snarky Hoagie lol. Also numbuh 12 girl what are you doing here??
Nigel wears sunglasses so he can stand out, and suggests that neon orange shoelaces are a good idea
Nigel needs therapy Part 3
Nigel NEEDS therapy Part 4
RACHEL SECTION RACHEL SECTION RACHEL SECTION
Guys idk being supreme leader doesn’t sound very fun /s. The fact that she apparently really wanted to be supreme leader makes this very ironic. Confirmation that she knows of the TND directly, I can imagine the earful Chad got after op End. Also she’s one of the two known operatives to like spinach, the other is Hoagie
Scholar is not really a job I do, so I like to think she never really picked it up. Yet at least.

Meryta Khatin & Alka Zolka | Heavensward time | sch quest intro
Rating: Gen. Struggle with studying, mild HW spoilers, sch quest intro spoilers
Reticent
Meryta is studying. Or at least pretending to be, trying to make sense of something without Alphinaud’s need to explain or the general distractions of the Fortemps Manor. Like Emmanellain.
She sighs, and flips the page. It’s diagrams doesn’t make more sense than the ones on the previous page, and the text is incredible tiny. She can summon a carbuncle just fine, and channel her aether to attack without the diagrams. Once she does it, it just works. Learning from a book feels like nonsense.
“You! You there!”
A lalafel marauder with a determined look on his face marches towards her. She panics briefly – though nominally cleared of the Sultana’s murder, perhaps he’s here to arrest her. Can she petition with Merlwyb? She can’t attack here in the Wench.
“You’re an Arcanist right? The one from the guild Murie recommended.”
“Um, I guess?”
She recalls Murie did say something of the marauders being in need of some researcher. Truth be told, she’s more likely to go there to swing a big axe around, that looks fun. A lot more fun than trying to understand these void cursed diagrams.
“Good. I’m Alka, Alka Zolka. I realize that it’s a little unusual for a marauder to strike up an interest in research, but I promise you this will be worth it. See, the ancient Nymerians…”
Alka goes on, and Meryta thinks she can handle his axe quite easily. It is made for a lalafel, of course. She doesn’t need to use an axe, preferring the precision and agility of the katana, but it’s still an interesting thought.
“I don’t need to learn any more healing,” she says, interrupting the overeager Alka. She winces, and feels bad for her rudeness, but the tiny letters have already given her a headache, and her astrologian training lets her channel aether into curing, with naught but a pack of card and the stars above.
“I see.” Alka’s expression sours, but he picks up his enthusiasm again. “Murie was most certain, so give it a thought. I will be there. Or it may pass you by, if another candidate approaches! Good day!”
He marches away. Meryta snaps her book shut, and sinks her forehead to rest on it.
I'm like. the polar opossite of those people that baby-fy bmo while wanting amo to die. i do love bmo but i personally like to see him suffer for narrative propouses. Amo, however, is just a pretty little pink princess who has never done nothing wrong in his life. i am also loveless don't worry little bud...... AMO hate will not be tolerated.

Dabney Coleman, the mustachioed character actor who specialized in smarmy villains like the chauvinist boss in "9 to 5" and the nasty TV director in "Tootsie," has died. He was 92.
Coleman died Thursday at his home in Santa Monica, his daughter, Quincy Coleman, said in a statement to The Associated Press. She said he “took his last earthly breath peacefully and exquisitely.”
“The great Dabney Coleman literally created, or defined, really — in a uniquely singular way — an archetype as a character actor. He was so good at what he did it’s hard to imagine movies and television of the last 40 years without him,” Ben Stiller wrote on X.
