Out of Time (2011) is the first of a loose trilogy of scenario collections for Trail of Cthulhu. Of the three, this is probably my favorite.

Adam Gauntlett delivers an investigation at a World War I field hospital where dark doings are afoot (this set-up is never not going to remind me of the videogame Eternal Darkness). It’s a solid one and focuses on a lesser known Clark Ashton Smith entity, which I like. Fiasco’s Jason Morningstar offers up a nice cult-centric scenario set in a desolate antarctic island that forces some dark moral calculus. Bill White’s got two. The second is a fun little jaunt in the South Pacific, investigating some strangeness following atomic tests that might involve some cone-shaped aliens.

White’s other scenario is something special, though: it casts the players as science fiction writer Robert Heinlein, his wife Virgina, editor Tony Boucher and a young Phil Dick investigating the supernatural cause of rocket scientist and occultist Jack Parson’s death (a real-life figure who was involved with L. Ron Hubbard and Aleister Crowley). This is a truly audacious and delightful set up for a scenario. White acknowledges that only a small slice of players are going to be into it, but that those who do will be over the moon for it. He’s right, I can see the moon below me.

Gummigoo x Caine is toxic yaoi coded

[summerhighlandfalls]

I saw someone say Edgeworth’s best friend is Phoenix and while I understand the impulse his best friend is 100% gumshoe. If you asked 2028 calm Edgeworth what Phoenix Wright is to him he would stare wistfully into the distance and say it was a long and complicated story. If you asked 2028 calm Edgeworth what Dick Gumshoe is to him he would say well… I suppose Detective Gumshoe is what you would call my best friend. He’s incompetent as an officer of the law however

A headcanon thats been rattling around in my head is that whenever someone asks how Kay knows Edgeworth she just replies with ''oh hes my uncle :)'' and will in fact insist that they are related, it took awhile but Edgeworth also eventually started referring to Kay as his niece and now everyone is confused cause neither of them elaborate on it

He looked at Caine’s body. He forced down the churning in his gut. “I’ll be back to bury you. I promise,” he said quietly. Caine didn’t respond.  Vash hadn’t expected him to, but the action felt too similar to yesterday evening when he had spoken to a different dead man.

from Time Enough at Last - Gumshow

I found a fic to keep feeding my delusions, and it's also written well so if you're into hurt/comfort, angst, and Vashwood, then show the author some love ^^!! ALSO SPOILERS AHEAD

i dont know when i'll move on from this church scene. it didn't even show in the anime how vash dealt with his body when he found out; but man must be fucking losing it when he had to bury two people in one day-- his enemy and then his friend.

imagine if he also had to tell his friends that he found ww dead ahsjahaj im telling you all vash and xie lian would be besties ijk they'll bond over a LOT of things (trauma)

wife started playing ace attorney so as is tradition, the cast's tf2 mains

phoenix - medic

maya - heavy. glued to each other.

edge - demoman and supreme

gumshoe - sniper and dreadful, he wouldn't notice edge spamming him if he were in dick's face and during the phoenix-maya ubers somehow always dies first cuz he refuses to move he's playing barnacle simulator while everyone else is like plankton in a tsunami.

if edge and gumshow happen to be on the same team edge will make a mushroom ring out of stickies around gumshoe so dick can keep on moai-ing in the same spot untouched

larry - f2p pyro. will die before buying premium, lives on trade donations from friends and charitable souls. cries when playing other classes. but one day he will overcome his fears and start maining spy until everyone oppresses him into switching back to pyro cuz he's a worse spy than gumshoe is a sniper and he will start crying into the mic again.

von karma - he's like b4nny best soljaboy demomain scoutmain, edge only inherited the demo part, currently studies up everyone else...

also maya is a heavy b4nny n the only one of the pair who can play on their own. phoenix cannot.

Patricia Taxxon - Wax Under Wolcnum

(Deconstructed Club, IDM, Experimental Hip Hop)

Adding a dash of experimental hip-hop to her dense and energetic electronica, Wax Under Wolcnum makes for one of Patricia Taxxon's most electrifying listens yet. Though it still struggles with balancing her layered and unrelenting production style with moments of release and breathability, there's no denying how great the vast majority of these seven songs are.

☆☆☆½

Patricia Taxxon's unfathomable drive and work ethic has always made her one of the most interesting and exciting voices in modern music, but every new album feels like she's still finding her voice as an artist. This is, for the most part, a good thing, as she rarely gets stuck on a sound or is unwilling to try out something new with her music - just last year she delivered serene ambient pieces, lowkey downtempo tunes, bombastic glitch pop, and an experimental concept album - but it also means it rarely feels like all the pieces are in place on a single release, Taxxon's albums always having some rough edges to them and a charismatic kind of chaoticness. Her first album of 2022, Wax Under Wolcnum, is no different, seeing her mix the beats and personality of the modern experimental hip hop scene into her traditionally dense and energetic electronica, seeing what her production can do with the demanding presence of multiple rapped verses as she weaves layers upon layers of synthesizers and drum pads around them. It's a messy album, and one that is a bit all over the place in its sound and structure, but its best moments still make for a great album nonetheless. In its best moments, Wax Under Wolcnum is fast, thrilling, and full of playful textures and strong hooks. Panty Hose's flashy synth pads slowly swell into bubbly staccato chords and a shuffling drum pad, the tension and kinetic energy needed to get CJ the X's verses as intense and propulsive as they can get, his clever couplets ("Like cold water on a dirty face / Like your daughter in a dirty place") and love of alliteration ("Braggin' bout it, but been basic / But life's a bitch and they got the basis") making for a lovely burst of energy in the album's first half. Gnaw and Gumshow, despite going away with vocals and playing out as more traditional Taxxon electronica, do a great job filling the midsection of the album, the former's cerebral four-on-the-floor and glitchy synths feel like running soap across your brain stem while the latter's contrasts between slower downtempo parts and effusive sections with swelling synth chords and shivering background effects makes for one of the most immersive and buoyant tracks in her discography. The best thing about the sound she goes for in Wax Under Wolcnum is how willing it is to let her toe the line between the innovative takes on experimental hip hop like Panty Hose and Digital Counterpoint and her usual adventurous IDM, keeping within a sound she's familiar with while branching out just enough to make it its own fun and distinct listen. What that also does, though, is cause more than a few moments on the album to feel unsure of where they're headed. The opening and closing tracks especially suffer from this feeling of limbo, Opiejam's noisy and angular synths sputtering about like a rusted spaceship engine for four and a half minutes and the massive 16:27 runtime of Cage filled with a six-minute ending section of flickering electronics and manipulated birdsong, a part of the track that goes on for much too long and leaves Wax Under Wolcnum unfulfilling and messy by the end, Taxxon's ideas with both songs interesting but underdeveloped compared to how rich and dynamic Panty Hose or Gnaw are. The album's centerpiece Words'll tries to blend a sturdy groove with pitched-up, autotuned vocals from Wulf Boi, and though it's a blend that's easy on the ears, the song doesn't find a way to justify its five minute runtime, the two repeated verses and simple structure never finding a way to progress forward as the song reaches an abrupt finish. It's difficult because of these stiff moments on the tracklist to really get invested in what Wax Under Wolcnum is doing on the whole: while its strongest moments are undeniably fantastic - I love how Digital Counterpoint builds and builds with its sunny synth leads while Scum Jones' aggressive rapping contrasts beautifully with it, or how well CJ the X fits on the white-hot beat of Panty Hose - there's too much inconsistency all around for the album to feel like a strong and cohesive listening experience. It's got some great songs, but as an album it struggles to find its voice. Like every other Patricia Taxxon album, though, there's more than enough wonderful music and evident passion put into Wax Under Wolcnum to keep it from ever feeling stale, but it also doesn't feel like the music is strong enough to hold up all the album's ideas long enough to make it through these 43 minutes. It's a good album, but has trouble figuring out how to weave these more overt hip-hop influences into her sound, and when she steps away from it completely on Opiejam or Cage, it takes away from the unique qualities that make Wax Under Wolcnum such an interesting listen and leave tons of dead weight piled on top of the handful of fantastic tracks on offer. All this has always been part of the charm of Taxxon's music, though: you never know what you're going to get from here, and even if the results aren't as well-rounded or enjoyable as you might have expected, it's her ambition and creative drive that never lets it be anything less than a joy to listen to. Wax Under Wolcnum has too many jagged edges to let its issues be glossed over, but it's a charming album nonetheless, another collection of tracks that proves exactly why Taxxon can command attention and create music like nobody else out there.

Gina and Ema have made a snowman that looks like Gumshow (was originally gonna be Edgeworth)... however they've built it on Maria's front lawn!

That was the last thing she wanted to look out of her window and see.

Throwing on her coat and shoes, she stomped out to the front porch.

“What the hell did you two do to my lawn?!”
