Sorry if someone's asked this before, but what's the worst thing you've had to clean up?

@acetraineramelia

You're actually the first who's dared ask! And oh boy!

so the worst messes always always always come at the end of the season, when they hold the champion cup. this is quite simply because there's not TIME to clean everything up fully between matches in a tournament like that; we get like an hour max between go-rounds (unless there's been enough successful challengers qualified that it has to go two days, which happens every so often, but even then there's a limit what you can do overnight). So the pitch gets chewed up something chronic by the end and we're just here making sure nothing's going to give way underneath someone or trap them in unexpected quicksand or other exciting possibilities (and that the forcefields that keep the trainers safe when someone Dynamaxes are still working...)

and obviously all max moves are destructive in some way. but some are worse than others. worst are probably rockfall, quake, and steelspike for sheer amount of damage done to just the terrain in general, geyser for just making EVERYTHING WET which is such an arse in general, and then the one that makes for the biggest chore is, as you might expect, max ooze. we love throwing poison like, literally everywhere.

and of course we're always gonna have water and rock moves so long as nessa and gordie are still kickin around in the major league, so that's guaranteed to deal with. but sometimes we get lucky and the challengers prefer the less destructive maxes.

last year though. last year.

multiple challengers who used Max Quake; Max Overgrow and Max Flare in the same battle (love putting my trust in the stadium's fire extinguishers); like seven different instances of Max Geyser; and a few flutterbys, airstreams and phantasms just to spread everything around a little. the pitch was a fucking MESS by the time the champion battle came round.

and now i tell you. the champion's got a garbodor. who can gigantamax. and she doesn't always g-max it, she's often using something else, but for whatever battle tactic bullshit reason that day was Big Giant Heap Of Magic Trash day

saw that g-max malodour come down and kissed goodbye to all my free time for the next like two weeks

Dawntrail glam ready! This is a vacation, right?

As a heads up, I do generally plan on posting through msq, I'll be using #dawntrail and #dawntrail spoilers, and probably be putting things under readmores as well as I feel necessary.

I don't, actually, anticipate much in the way of blowout lore bombs to worry about, if anything it'll probably be a lot of 'ooh pretty' gposes and idle thoughts.

I feel like Bud Sparhawk and him would've gotten along

"you're the writer, you control how the story goes" no not really. i wrote the first sentence and then my characters said "WE WILL TAKE IT FROM HERE" and promptly swerved into an electrical fence.

One year of his Matthew Shardlake.

SHARDLAKE (2024-) episode one

[champion-level-astroturfing]

[A video is attached!

Instead of the usual sight of Shardy and his Glaceon in restless slumber, it's an unfamiliar bathroom with an unfamiliar woman staring in the mirror. Though the light is too dark to distinguish colors, you can tell she's pale, with dark eyes and dark hair and what looks like a large bird's skull sitting on her head like a hat. The haunted Margaritaville case floats ominously behind her, watched by a couple of confused Shuppet.

As she leans into the mirror to apply a black lipstick, the mirror seems to fog- and, slowly, as if drawn by a skinny finger, the words appear.

"I T W O N ' T W O |--"

Before it can finish its ominous message, the woman snaps "Can you cut that shit out?" and turns to grab it from the air.]

OMFG Tumblr is so boring post the invasion of it with normies from instagram and twitter and by normies I actually mean the kinda people who flirt with being edgy but have too much to lose socially by fully indulging in the nihilism of that so just annoy everyone by being inconsistent and half assed about it like idk the artistic quality went down. You know what I mean tho like random people in their 20s in america just posting 0.5 selfies in vaguely indie sleaze outfits being into fashion and literally having no other vibe except listening to podcasts or pretending to like music I can't... and they all do notes because it's also full of ephebophiles. Me when a woman achieves something: you only achieved it because you're ephebobait. And like gag to be me to have thousands of followers and get like 3 notes and have all my selfies banned by some kinda mechanism that identifies nudity via skin tone I swear. I'm so fkn dead I honestly need someone to send me money. Alternatively might just go camping dgaf. But ykwim like idk I can't with social media algorithms and performative female mediocrity which is kinda my whole art friendship group but tea my old shardy bpd housemate was like women shouldn't make art it's counterintuitive. Byeeee. Nobody should? I've been dreaming about it tho

Morrowind: Athyn Sarethi WIP

WIP. In game he's equipped with a dwarven shortsword, though a mace would've perhaps been more iconic, given it's the weapon with which he'd momentously won a duel against his cousin Andas — all that described in book Hope of Redoran. His instructor in Blunt weapons was Shardie — an actual NPC residing at Buckmoth Legion Fort south of Ald'ruhn. On the right is a lightly modded version of Athyn Sarethi. Please DO let me know if you disagree with this depiction (i.e. you have pictured Athyn as an old/er man) before I commit to painting his face.

Election Results: 2324 All-Mars Parliamentary Elections

Elections for the Mars Union Parliament were conducted on 160/048, aka June 9 2324 (Gregorian), or 4 Cancer 459 (Darian). Elections were conducted using single transferable vote from 69 multi-member constituencies, with each constituency electing between three and nine MPs. All 349 seats were up for election.

Constituencies are drawn based on criteria of geographic contiguity, compactness, respect for preexisting administrative boundaries, and with the aim of creating five-member constituencies (with the total size of the parliament reflecting the cube root rule). Certain districts with overly large or overly small populations may elect more or less than five members; but districts may not elect less than three or more than nine members. Only minor adjustments in district boundaries were introduced since the previous election, and the size of the parliament was increased by 3 members to reflect population change.

Results

With a turnout of 28.9 million, or about 68%, the result was a victory for the center-left coalition led by the All-Mars Social Democratic Party, who renewed their coalition agreement with Martian Progressive Party and and the Tomorrow! party. General Secretary Liu hailed the election as "yet another vindication of milquetoast center-left reformism that excites nobody," though to what extent he was being sarcastic, no one observing could quite say.

Constituency Boundaries

The above map shows the planetwide constituencies used in the election. The non-shaded region is the Southern Highlands-Arcadia Planitia-Amazonis Planitia constituency, a "catch-all" constituency for regions of the planet that are otherwise too sparsely populated for reasonable constituency boundaries to be drawn. The other constituencies, along with the number of representatives they elect are:
