I will never emotionally recover from last night this may be the death of me but.
My headcanon as to why Dapper couldn't crawl in the nightmare was because he got struck across the chest/arms in a fashion that would have made crawling extremely painful.
And even though he was trying so hard to do so for his dad, because God knows he's never heard his father that panicked, it was a situation where he just couldn't move.
He's coping with such a bad nightmare by staying with his animals and his dad, who is definitely going to be a bit more protective and careful with Dapper from now on - even if Dapper isn't the biggest fan of it.

is it still canon that feesh loses his head after he collapses? i assume that means tinkerer meets him before he's collapsed, is she still around when that happens?
yep! still all safe and canon- head and half a chest gone
Tinkerer is around a little bit after the Artificer's time (since Seaf courted Arti and later adopts Tinktink into his mishmash family) so there is still a lot of time between her life and his collapse. he's gonna host a Lot of scav generations before his legs kick the metaphorical bucket
i'm now not sure if i posted the first doodle with him like this, but he's still using his hand normally there n that isn't possible with new headcanons now so just in case i'll add: without a head and so much damage done to the organic puppet innards, the puppet is pretty much dead. consciousness/electric shocks from the umbilical arm connection still can force the body to jerkily move and there's still a weak supply of nutrients and water going into it automatically so one could say it's constantly bleeding, though

who is vivika i am so curious
thank you?? for this ask anon, i am always sooo happy to talk about vivka!!
vivka vileshade is a fantasy high oc i created (and then got carried away with) when trying to pad out my headcanons about max durden's adventuring party!
she's a human rogue, with the subclass of assassin.
she's from the baronies, specifically a short lived province called kartova. her father, ermolai kartov, was the first sovereign of kartova (and managed to rule, in grand total, thirteen years).
the vileshade clan is a legendary clan of assassins in the baronies; they're responsible for far more of the regions tumultuous political history than can be credibly traced back to them.
a neighboring king enlisted the clan to kill the kartov royal line. ignato vileshade, an incredibly accomplished assassin, was assigned to the task. he killed ermolai and his wife yeva the dread, but instead of killing vivka as well and returning to his patron for his pay, his pilfered the kartovan treasury and ran away with the child and her nurse, matya.
vivka lived in the baronies on the run, being trained by ignato between the ages of eight and fourteen, at which point ignato discovered the solesian offer of amnesty. he applied for citizenship, accepted the total amnesty, and settled their little makeshift family in elmville where vivka started to attend aguefort adventuring academy.
generally speaking, vivka is very blasé about her life story. whenever prodded, she insists that it's a pretty typical upbringing for someone from the baronies. it's very much this meme:
she's definitely odd. her interests lean macabre, but she's also got the entitled holdovers of being a literal princess for the first eight years of her life. but she's also so loyal! i plan on her (along with the rest of max's party) playing at least a small part in the durdawn fic i'm working on,,, assuming that it ever actually gets written, but here's a snippet to give you an idea of her vibe:
i could go on (i literally started writing a detailed breakdown of the baronies politics that led to the rise and fall of kartova before realizing that's NOT particularly relevant here),,,,, but this is already pretty long so i'll stop myself here lol

Warning- this is a very petty post, but I think I'm entitled to at least one petty, pissed-off reaction every time I finish a classic novel that hit harder than I expected so take this as my quota for the year.
Also spoiler warning for a book that came out over a century ago but still, I didn't know the plot going in so don't want to ruin it for anyone else, if you haven't read it shut your eyes. (Also Local Tumblr User Going Wild Over Book Published a Hundred Years Ago That Everybody Else Already Read should probably be categorised as akey part of indigenous tumblr culture at this point).
Anyway I just finished the War of the Worlds and in between studying I've thinking about Themes and Motifs as you do, and idly looking for further analysis. I then accidentally ran into an article called 'A Quiet Place II Succeeds Where the War of the Worlds Failed' and:
Now I haven't seen any of the Quiet Place films, this is not a rant against them and of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions. But re: the ending of The War of the Worlds, I have to ask, did this guy somehow miss, uh, the entire point of the book or am I just utterly insane?
