This meme but it’s the first time I’ve actually drawn Bluster

Everyone's probably familiar with the trend now, so here's my contribution :)

(Bonus below the cut because these guys are a trio in my mind)

Evil behavior

They’re always messing with Malcom and his height lawl

Decided I tried to make a comic about a new ship that’s stuck in my head.

(I hate being a multi-shipper.)

Here is a scene I redraw from The Grumpy Effect

[is-the-owl-video-cute]

is anyone ACTUALLY shocked this is what Biden built it for? Anyone? Anyone at all?

A temporary humanitarian aid port or a military base?

The port built in Gaza by the US under the pretence of delivering humanitarian aid has been caught delivering military equipment.

Pictures show the American C-RAM air defence system has been delivered through the "temporary" port as well as the American M-LIDS anti-drone system and U.S. military vehicles.

UTM AU IDEA?

OKAY SO WHAT IF THERE WAS AN AU WHERE ROBBIE FINALLY STANDS UP FOR HERSELF TO BLUSTER AND LEAVES TO FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO LIVE WHERE SHE CAN FINALLY MAKE THE RULES FOR HERSELF.

BUT SHE DOESN'T GO TO THE CARE BEARS FOR HELP AND REFUSES THE HELP TOO, BUT INSTEAD GOES TO HIDE IN THE SILVER LINING FOREST TO BECOME ONE WITH IT'S NATURE AND CREATE A HOME FOR HERSELF FROM SCRATCH, WITH THE WHIFFLES HELP, BY USING HER INTELLIGENCE AND BLUEPRINTS.

AND OVER TIME, SHE FINALLY HAS A HOME TO CALL HER OWN, WHICH IS MOSTLY DESIGNED BY HERSELF AND SHE BECOMES A SCIENTIST / INVENTOR.

SHE STOPS TRYING TO DESTROY THE SILVERLINING AND BECOMES VERY FACINATED INTO IT, AS SHE NEVER GOT THE CHANCE TO LOOK INTO IT BEFORE WHEN LIVING WITH BLUSTER. THEN STARTS CREATING INVENTIONS TO HELP THE WHIFFLES, AND ALSO FOR HERSELF OF COURSE, ONES SHE HAS BEEN DYING TO CREATE FOR AGES BUT COULDN'T BACK IN THE BAD CROWD.

AND INSTEAD OF WEARING A BLACK LEATHER JACKET, SHE WEARS A WHITE LABCOAT INSTEAD, THE CRACK IN HER GOGGLES HAVE BEEN FIXED, AND SHE GROWS A BIT MORE HAIR.

I ALSO WANT PLUNK TO COME BACK, AND HE BECOMES ROBBIE'S LITTLE SCIENTIST SIDEKICK, BUT HE ISN'T TREATED LIKE CRAP BY HER. ROBBIE IS FINALLY THE ONE IN CONTROL, BUT MAKES SURE NOT THE REPEAT WHAT BLUSTER DID WITH HER AND THE CROWD. (Plunk doesn't rly live with her, since he's got his own home, but he works with her as co-workers and visits her the most. They become besties.)

I'D ALSO LIKE TO THINK THE CARE BEARS VISIT SOMETIMES FROM CARE-A-LOT TO CHECK UP ON HER, BUT ONLY ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS BECAUSE SHE LIKES HER OWN SPACE AND SHE DOES THINGS A LOT DIFFERENT FROM THE CARE BEARS. BUT SHE WELCOMES THEM IN AND THEY SEE HOW HAPPIER SHE IS WITHOUT BLUSTER, AND SHE FINALLY KEEPS HER ROOM CLEAN CUZ SHE'S NO LONGER MENTALLY ILL. I ALSO WANT HER TO GET CLOSER WITH GRUMPY, SINCE GRUMPY IS THE ONLY CARE BEAR SHE CAN PROLLY FULLY TOLERATE SINCE HE DOESN'T PESTER HER ABOUT SUNSHINE, CUPCAKES AND RAINBOWS. HE FULLY UNDERSTANDS HER WAY OF LIVING, RESPECTS IT AND LEAVES HER TO IT. THEY CAN ALSO SHARE GADGET / INVENTION IDEAS TOO MWAHAHA

I am a huge enthusiast for mad scientists so she'd prolly have her own laboratory in the basement of her home and work on experiments / gadgets.

Also I'd like to think Bluster is homeless with barely nothing so he can't destroy the Silverlining again. He's probably living in a cave and eating wild plants or something. HE DOES TRY TO BEG ON HIS KNEES TO ROBBIE TO LET HIM LIVE WITH HER, BUT SHE'S LIKE: ''Naw bruh, you'll only boss me around again and mooch off my stuff. Here's some materials, go make your own home, squirt!''. SHE PROLLY LETS HIM VISIT SOMETIMES, BUT HE HAS TO GO BY HER HOUSE RULES, NOT HIS BUT SHE ISN'T MEAN ABOUT IT. THEY BOTH KINDA GET ON GOOD TERMS WITH EACHOTHER AGAIN, BUT NOT TO WHERE THEY WERE IN THE BEGUINNING, THEY BECOME MORE LIKE MUTUALS AND SHE REFUSES TO LET HIM LIVE WITH HER. BLUSTER HAS RUININED THEIR FRIENDSHIP TO EVER HAVE IT STRONG AGAIN. But that's prolly a few months or a year after she leaves the bad crew cuz he eventually finds out where she's living at.

And Malcom, I'm gonna give him the funniest future story ever. He's gonna have a wife and children and owns a huge company that makes something rly dumb, prolly like tooth brushes or massage chairs and he gets into co-operate greed in the care bears universe equivalent of New York. And Robbie's like: ''Lol, I saw that coming tbh. His eyes were always on the prize. Good for him I guess?'', whilst reading a news paper.

I'M PROLLY GONNA NAME THIS AU, Care Bears Beyond The Silverlining (Care Bears BTS for short)........ Uh oh... BTS... PFTYDFSUTGGJ BYE (Or maybe Care Bears BTSL)...

I miss the squad

[lemonmatronicsart]

I’ve got so many of these I gotta make-

Meet Suli!

More Below the Cut

     A banished Bad Crowder that runs into Jackpot Bear and begins work with her. Going from a jewelry maker to a scam artist, she views this partnership as purely business. In it for the stability of it more than anything.

     Jackpot also hangs out with a monkey nicknamed Money, who is a badgeless Care Bear Cousin that managed to get into The Silver Lining.

     (Money got its nickname from Jackpot herself. Actual name is unknown)

     …Suli does not like Money.

     She keeps her reason for banishment private, viewing it as embarrassing and stupid. If she was gonna get banned for something, it should’ve been for something bigger than picking on the to be leader’s bestie.

     As you can probably guess she does not like Bluster and Rob..like at all. Hate them actually, “privileged jerks” in her eyes.

     Thanks to her distaste for the big two in charge now, and overall not being a fan of the born with power system, she often visits Crowd X. A group of Bad Crowder’s with their own distain for those in charge. Going back and forth between them and Jackpot, giving them updates on happenings within The Silver Lining.

     Shockingly enough she actually likes Malcom. Weirdo

 •Money belongs to Atwood2d •Crowd X is a group created by @zip-toonz

Crowd X is not an open group for anyone to make ocs with. I was given full permission and encouraged to have Suli be involved, and me making her is NOT an open invitation for others to do so. Be respectful.

THE BAD CROWD TRIOS VOICES IS SAFE yes

It was safe to assume Robbie and Malcom were gonna be fine for a bit now but apparently Bluster’s va is now voicing Tendy too

My babies ALL gotta share now

[milkofjeg]

Malcom needing to use another persons head for support so he can see the TV screen properly

Ok but I love this photooooo😭💜 they’re all just enjoying a show together!!

It may be a virtue to be difficult to lie to, but on the other hand, as Jim Donald recently put it, "being in contact with reality is a bad career move."

I'm not sure how you rectify this from within.

Me neither. But then, I also don't see how you rectify it from without.

The obvious way would be to reduce the stakes of competition by making a good life more accessible, so speaking truth doesn't lead to massive losses in earnings, which means more people do it, which makes it less of a source of vulnerability, which disincentivizes self-interested attacks.

Except status is relative, and like Malcom Kyeyune points out, much of this is driven by an overproduced PMC elite competing for a smaller number of acceptable positions, the "acceptability" not being so much a matter of material comfort as being compatible with their social class — you might be materially richer working a skilled trade in a middling town in flyover country, than as an intern doing spreadsheets in Excel for a lefty NGO and sharing a tiny apartment with six roommates in NYC or San Francisco, but anyone in the latter would see the former as an unthinkable fall, constituting failure at life, and potentially a fate worse than death. (Much like how even the most impoverished aristocrat of old would sooner slit his wrists than lower himself to going into trade.)

I think most people around here agree that this situation is a problem, but we disagree on whether the best course of action is to attack that system from outside, or to convince the players that being truthful is good.

And I don't think either of these are viable courses. For one, how would you go about attacking this system from outside? For another, it's hard to convince someone of something when his job depends… et cetera, et cetera. The longer passage from Jim:

The managerial state reinforces leftism, because being in contact with reality is a bad career move, and leftism reinforces the managerial state, because leftists do not like people telling them that reality is real, and both of them reinforce demon worship, because demon worshippers are fine with actual reality going to $#!&. All three depend on lies, each of them provides a different reason for lying, but a lie promulgated for one reason finds support from the other two reasons. The bureaucrat wants the right bullet points regardless of whether the bullet points meaningfully represent reality, the leftist does not believe that existence exists, that reality is real, and the demon worshipper just likes lies and lying.

When you get promoted based on bullet point checklists, the best strategy is to embrace Goodhart's Law wholeheartedly. When you get promoted based on being a "team player," outsourcing your belief-formation system to the social consensus is a winning move. (I had a therapist who endorsed "just believe whatever your peers believe because your peers believe it" as the height of healthy human cognition, "reading the room" is our primary task in life, and that caring much about "truth" or "reality" independent of fitting in with the crowd itself constitutes a form of mental illness to be overcome.)

In my view, forcing this system to take a loss reduces the positive incentives

Sure, except you have no way at your disposal to force them to take a loss. It just can't be done.

while discrediting the idea that "this is the most effective tactic," which is used to support the current equilibrium.

And it's very hard to "discredit" an idea when it's true. They believe "this is the most effective tactic" because it is the most effective tactic, and you're not going to change that.

My view is that there are feedback loops within the system which make it less likely to self-correct…

I agree with this whole bit. I just don't see how you get correction from outside, either, except total collapse.

What it boils down to is an estimate of risk. I think we should call the disruption early, because it means that the magnitude of the disruption will be lower.

This whole thing here is dependent on the idea that you can "call the disruption" at all. Yes, the longer this goes on, the worse it will get, for all the reasons you lay out. But there's nothing we can do about it. Those feedback loops are just going to keep on churning, impervious to any attempts to prevent it, until the final, catastrophic explosion that takes all of human civilization with it.

Progressives place a very high value on social approval. "All the right institutions are saying this, all the right people are saying it. Read the room. Don't be socially clueless."

I've been thinking about how to say this in less than 10,000 words, and I think the short version goes like this:

Being difficult to lie to is a virtue.
