OKAY wait one more before the day ends. Ms. Fortune from Skullgirls dressed as Ellis from Left 4 Dead 2.

I wanted to draw a full Valentine as Nick too, but I'll save that for when I have more ideas on what to have them do.

Was Ishmael always your favorite from day one, or did Canto 5 swing things in her direction?

So, she wasn't like, my favorite favorite day 1, but I did have a higher opinion of her compared to the rest of the cast (barring Ryoshu and Sinclair as food name oomf was making propaganda about them like a madman), her initial demeanor also gained her extra points because I generally gravitate towards characters that Actually Respect The MC/PC i won't say no to unhinged characters can we at least pretend to be civil during work hours and not treat me like a dog? It makes me sad :(

And then Canto V dropped.

Normally, this wouldn't be. That Big of a deal, if it was in literally any other position I'd just go "oh cool, so that's what happened" and moved on.

Problem: there was probably at least 20 different sleeper agents in my brain. And all of them involved Azur Lane

(Context for confused LCB moots: Azur Lane is Arknights' weirder, hornier cousin set somewhere in a WW2-adjacent period where all of your units are warships given human form known as Shipgirls (official term: KAN-SEN) and you fight against a robotic menace known as the Sirens)

(Editing Apple: putting this under cut because... oh lird. It's long.)

I had this like, entire ramble I wanted to go off on but at some point I didn't know where to take it lmao, but the basic idea is the following:

I got into Azur Lane last year because of spite and (eldritch-ish) pirates (Hello Royal Fortune!)

Got dragged into lore rabbit hole

Got convinced to read eldritch apocalypse fanfiction of Azur Lane (Whispers of Saturn)

Loved the fanfic a lot, started making Pirate shipgirl ocs based off the fic's concept (eldritch creachurr)

First iteration of Whaleship Essex created; whale-like mermaid-siren figure who has albinism and is a little Too trigger happy with whale murder

Made her look like Ishmael LCB because haha funny reference

Devs went fuckshit crazy with the anniversary event; Marco Polo was raining the wrath of God (who, to the surprise of absolutely nobody, was a false god), the god in question was fucking up the world with a weird white membrane (which, now that I think about it, kinda acted like pallidification), the french were getting back together, everything is great

I try to add the false god(s) into the lore timeline of my Azur Lane shit, cue updates happening to Whaleship Essex where she's the only survivor of her group and knows that someone else also survived but blames them for not being able to Do Something about it

New Pirate event happens

Devs stole 2 of my OCs and made them canon (hi, Hind; hi, Galley) and they also happen to be close to Whaleship Essex while they were my OCs

I work around what the Devs have given me and decide that they're in a state of kinda died-but-not-really (long story)

(Note that I came up with all this oc stuff around like. November or something.)

Overall my hype for The Sea™ and eldritch horrors have reached an all time high

Canto V releases; I learn about it while trying to make a Limbus AU for Murder Drones

I decide to check it out because. Water.

Doomed sailor yuri

"Holy fucking shit did I just predict Canto V with my OC that's completely unrelated in every way except for the fact that she looks A Lot like Ishmael???? What?????"

Present time; I have been stuck in the Limbus hole ever since (and apparently my brain has delusionally stuck itself onto our favorite ginger sailor so uh. hi fellow ishmael irls!)

Sooooo... yeah

Basically we wouldn't be here if the stars didn't align at Halloween 2022 and Manjuu + Yostar gave the AL fans someone who isn't a pirate

I love how my unintentional excuse as to why Alestair and Idan never have to go to work is because they ran away and basically quit without notice.

Anybody else really bummed about Taylor's lack of new acting projects/ lack of news about acting projects? I just keep thinking about how he said he loves his job as an actor and wants to do this for the rest of his life. He shot rwrb last year June-August and it's October this year and we don't have any update about an upcoming project. Even if he started something now it won't even come out until long and it's making me feel really awful and making me miss him kinda

Dorian couldn't help but smile at that notion, of his and Randall's children being just as close as they were when they were younger...it was a notion that warmed his heart as they walked along, the sun hanging high in the sky, showering them with light and warmth through the branches of the trees, and the green leaves of summer.

"I...I never had very many friends growing up," he confessed. "Both before and after I went to boarding school-I would say that Elizabeth and Randall were my closest and truest friends. I would spend time with the children of my father's business partners, other high-class children my age, but...I could never connect with them. They were more like acquaintances to me, really."

It was a lonely childhood, honestly; up until he met Randall, the only friend he had his own age was Elizabeth, with his only other friend being Beau, who he fondly looked up to from a very young age, and more often than not turned to for help or advice or comfort (and even as an adult, he sometimes found himself doing the same thing)…he felt like he was surrounded by others, children his own age, but...he could never quite befriend them. Something just never sat right with him, and so they remained distant to him.

"I hope my own children's lives won't be the same," he sighed. "I want to make sure they never have as lonesome a childhood as I did."
