I MADE THIS SHRINE AS A JOKE IN MY KINGDOM AND IT SOMEHOW SUMMONED HER FROM A SINGLE PULL WHAT

[enchantingcoffeecheesecake]

Mm yes fabulous, this is why my url came to mind

[keferon]

So. I went online and bought this Transformers generations Blurr toy and holy shit nothing prepared me for the lore on the back of it’s box o_o

Also every time Blurr gets to be a sniper my soul ascends a little bit~

At long last: either an alternate explanation for or continuation of my prior comic regarding how Bill was ABSOLUTELY naked in Ford's karaoke night drawing. (Because errors in art do not exist. Artists do not make mistakes. So if you see any in this comic, No You Do Not.)

I am so normal about these old dorks.

I'm not really clear on exactly when Bill started throwing his desperation book at Ford just like a needy ex do, but I find it extremely funny to imagine it happening literally the day of or after the makeshift funeral. Bill just gets this weird sense of 'Ford is taking steps to move on' and CANNOT FUCKING ABIDE.

I hope you enjoy all the goofy things I added to each page of Bill's sad spieling. (Everything SHOULD be readable so long as you view the full size, but I have added basically this whole little fanfic in the image descriptions, LMAO, which lays out all the little written notes and such.) Also don't ask how Bill managed to sneak that vampire pen in there. I have no idea, and honestly? I don't wanna know.

Oh, and a little bonus comic:

Of course Bill would take it as flirting. Because between the two of them, Bill is the bigger masochist By Far. :)

Also I have continued applying The Good Place logic to any of Bill's attempts to swear. Case in point, one last bonus image, this time with a motivational line from my slapdash Theraprism OC, EV-01:

Yes, its name is just 'love' backwards. No, I will not be taking any feedback on this. Yes, EV-01 was only ever assigned to Bill's case due to the Theraprism being desperate to make some progress in rehabilitating him. No, it did not work anywhere close to staff's expectations - Bill didn't even appreciate EV-01's matching fondness for bowties! (He claimed the fondness to be "cultural appropriation" and insisted he'd been traumatized by it.)

Anyway, if you like my stuff, reblogs are very much appreciated, and if you really really like it, perhaps consider my commissions or yeeting a teeny tiny tip my way? I am trying to recoup over 500 dollars in vet bills, ahaha... 🙃

In other news, I loved all the fun tags people added to the prior naked-karaoke comic (such as 'the hat and bow-tie stay ON during sex' and the classic '[insert keysmash here]', as well as the many amused/bewildered remarks about how I either made the bricks a piece of clothing or just straight up peeled Bill's skin off). However, I think my favorite thing by far was the several people losing their shit over the fact that I gave Bill toes. Like, excuse me? The magical talking triangle can have fingers but not toes??? Since when was that a rule????? 🤣 (Also the one person who reblogged with the cropped panel where Bill's fishnets pants are falling off to ask why Bill peed himself. Dude, I want to examine your brain...?)

Okie-dokie, I'm sick of looking at all of this stuff now and I'm off to go to work, after which I will either scribble some more goofy "Billford" comics or perhaps draw my lame human!Bill in Situations, idk yet. Maybe I'll even finally draw more than just a single other person's human!Bill...? Who knows, but I sure hope I can mix it up a little and not turn whatever I draw into a month-long fukken project. >:\

Ur angel AU is really cute but it made me think of Depo Agent Josh and what if Emmet was assigned his guardian angel xD

an angel and his newest charge

- josh has incredibly bad luck and is constantly almost dying; emmet finds this endlessly funny

- josh actually had another guardian angel looking over him since he was a kid, but due to that angel having another long term matter to attend to, emmet was assigned to josh instead!

- his previous guardian angel hadn’t revealed themselves to him yet, preferring to watch over/protect him from afar, so emmet’s initial reveal as his newest guardian angel is something he’s still trying to wrap his head around

As someone who spent way too long analysing data and nerding out over Daniel's driving style throughout his McLaren and AT/VCarb stints, people like this that tweet total nonsense about subjects they clearly have no understanding of annoy the absolute shit out of me (especially since Daniel's driving style has been so thoroughly discussed on about a gazillion reddit threads, a thousand articles and hundreds of youtube videos so a quick google search would have corrected this for you). But since apparently the internet has decided that facts no longer matter; no Daniel doesn't brake early, no he doesn't drive in a similar way to Lawson and no Yuki doesn't drive similarly to Max.

"While it would be dangerous to try to simplify Ricciardo’s 2021 cause to a single issue, it did often come back to how he attacks a braking zone and tries to rotate the car. Despite being famously adept at late-braking passes, Ricciardo’s preferred style in normal conditions is to brake slightly earlier, with less pressure, and roll the speed into the corner. That requires a positive front end to get the car rotated. At medium and low speed, the McLaren was ill-suited to this technique. Team-mate Lando Norris was much more effective with a later, harder brake that facilitated a sharper rotation and allowed him to get on the power again quicker. Ricciardo could not quite drill that technique into himself, even though he got better at it through the season. But the reason he couldn’t is probably twinned with the reason he didn’t know what his strengths were as a driver: this is something baked into him from an early age, the kind of technique that comes subconsciously to top-level athletes."

Ricciardo drives the car very differently to regular driver Yuki Tsunoda, but also to Pierre Gasly - who was AlphaTauri’s spearhead for several seasons. They prefer a later-braking approach with a sharp, later rotation - the V-style we often hear drivers talk about, and that Ricciardo wanted to move away from at McLaren but couldn’t. The way Ricciardo brakes and approaches a corner puts very different demands on the car and tyres, and requires (and instigates) a different kind of car behaviour. What you saw in Mexico was the result of AlphaTauri really adjusting the car to that for the first time. Ricciardo prefers to carry more speed through the corner by making it more of a ‘U’ shape. To do that he needs a little rear instability on entry to turn in, and enough grip to rotate the car mid-corner without the rear breaking away. The McLaren had a lot of peak downforce but it was not always usable, making the car unstable and inconsistent to drive in certain corners and conditions. That was murder for Ricciardo’s preferences. And even now, in a McLaren regularly scoring podiums, Lando Norris says he wants to ‘U’ a corner but has to ‘V’ it off because the car can’t handle that. “One of his big limitations has been the front end,” says Eddolls. “So the [new set-up] directions have been able to improve the front end of the car for him, accepting the stability compromise and how that impacts the tyre temperatures through the corner and through the lap.” It may sound surprising given this was his Kryptonite at McLaren but what Ricciardo has been clear on from the start at AlphaTauri is that he could live with a bit more rear instability. There were signs of this right back in Hungary, where Ricciardo drove the car for the first time. There, and in his second race in Belgium, there was some under-rotation in the car. While the AlphaTauri lacks the aerodynamic peaks of what Ricciardo was driving at McLaren, it seems to have a more stable platform. It’s consistent, and understandable. So Ricciardo actually found that he could cope with some more rear instability than it had, to help give him the front end he needed, without it prompting the kind of inconsistency in car behaviour that he could not handle the way Norris could at McLaren. The key to understanding the difference is to consider that not all rear instability is the same. AlphaTauri has battled some specific corner entry trouble all season, mainly when its drivers were braking late into heavy braking zones. Given he generally struggled with rear instability at McLaren, it was initially a concern that this might be an issue for Ricciardo. But with the way he drives compared to Tsunoda, Ricciardo didn't counter the same issues with the AT04. Instead, Ricciardo knows what to expect from the car and is able to take it to its limits more comfortably. Since Ricciardo’s early races before the summer break, the team has added a bit more aero load through upgrades, and the new set-up direction has now unlocked an even more Ricciardo-friendly balance. In Mexico, Ricciardo was able to use the stronger front end to rotate the car through the corners more to his style - braking a little earlier but riding it a little longer, giving him the grip to turn the front in mid-corner and carrying speed through. The result was being at ease with the car in qualifying, visibly leaning on the front and throwing the car around more.

I'm not saying that Daniel would have necessarily jumped into the Red Bull and been 100% comfortable straight-away or been right back to his absolute best. But I do think given the way he has demonstrated (even throughout his struggles at McL) that he can drive a car as long as it has the strong front end required for him to then be able to use the rear instability to rotate the car through the braking phase of corners, and that he can live with a great deal more rear instability than a driver who brakes later like Yuki or Pierre, that he had a much higher likelihood of success in a Red Bull car than most other drivers. I'm not even saying that I don't think Yuki deserves a chance in the second RBR seat, but I do think the team continuing to throw drivers in with very little thought to how their driving style compliments what is clearly a tricky car to master is stupidity personified. For Yuki's sake, I hope he manages to make it work. 🫠

i find it so funny how literally the entire fandom is imploding over mizu5 and then akito is just there with his event like “..you want some utsup”

[starflungwaddledee]

running a little late, but someone's finally arriving at the @kirbyoctournament !

sent in to the tourney by her well meaning friends, starstruck is a Totally Normal adult waddle dee from king dedede's kingdom of dream land! she's here to try and meet new people, and maaaybe get out of her anxious shell a little bit!

equipped with her customary cheerful attitude, she's also sporting a brand new backpack full of lovingly packed goodies to help her through the event.

if you'd like to get to know her a little better, you can check out her tag on my blog, or these three important comics from previously! lastly, you can find the masterpost for her interactive tournament adventure here! this is an ongoing chronological story (separate to her canon story, but referencing it) that will last for as long as she's in the tournament!

a few notes for any interactions

🌸 despite being a waddle dee, other waddle dees typically don't like being around her, and folks who already know what a waddle dee should be like also tend to get a weird vibe off her. 🌸 she is quite friendly and approachable, but prone to extreme anxiety if she perceives she might have done something wrong or inappropriate. tiny wanya takes criticism the way a handful of hay takes a flame. 🌸 if you have wings and you take her flying she'll never leave your side. she's only palm sized, so if you are big and have wings or can fly, please pick her up and go flying with her please please pleeaase she wants to go go flying and fawn over your wings so so bad 🌸 for the purposes of the tourney, which by merit of its existence is something of an au timeline, consider this event to completely predate her ability to summon these.

An au based in Epic: The Musical where the entire Trojan War is derailed before it even starts because instead of Paris 'Horny Teenage Boy' of Troy, Odysseus 'Next To My Wife' of Ithaca is chosen to arbitrate the Golden Apple argument.

However, Odysseus reads the words 'For the Fairest' and is immediately halfway back to the Palace to gift the apple to the gave-birth-that-day Penelope before anyone can explain the rules to him. No thoughts, not even to justify his choice, just Wife.

And to be honest, none of them can really be mad at him for it.

Hera, Goddess of Marriage and Queen of Gods, saw Loyal Husband Odysseus immediately chose his wife and Queen even against divinity.

Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, saw So-Down-Bad Odysseus pick his heart's desire in an instant.

Athena, Goddess of Wisdom, saw her student pick what was probably the wisest choice of picking your wife when asked who is the most beautiful person you know.

By picking Penelope, Odysseus somehow picked what all three Goddesses stand for and incredibly, that's satisfaction enough for them. (At least, that's how the stories will go. In reality, loving-husband new-Dad and likely sleep-deprived and super-stressed Odysseus was given the apple, told "you must judge who deserves this apple." and heard nothing else.)

(No one is going to mention how his choice is incredibly biased for fear of starting the argument anew.)

Meanwhile the Fates are wondering who the fuck messed with their tapestry that much that an entire WAR meant to kill off most of the contemporary demi-gods got averted.

(I know it's OOC but my heart says Hades. Dude took one look at the plan, realised that once again his siblings' bullshit was gonna make him deal with all the consequences, and decided to say 'Fuck That.' He's dealt with all the others causing shit, let him have a shenanigan. He deserves it.)

Do you think it is possible for the other trolls to gaslight Eridan into do the murder for the right cause? E.g. not like the murderstuck in the canon but guiding his murderous direction to align with the purpose, using him as a disposable glass cannon and a cannon fodder to take down enemies? but not easily disposable due to seadweller's physical strength and his fighting skills. Not the optimal way to handle him but given that he needs some presence of others how will this scenario go?

no because i believe eridan is the specific type of idiot that you can't actually manipulate because he doesn't listen to people. god bless 🫡
