everything is the same except Odile is the one looping

oh. heheheheh. muahahahaha. hold on *digs through my pile of disorganized sketches*

Odile loops au; a sketch compilation!!

Some old fic drabbles + associated sketches under cut (a6 secret spoilers):

hc: Since equipment carries over, as long as Odile uses her book in a fight, she can write down notes and have it carry over loops

toxic doomed yuri (for a more fleshed out fic I highly recommend The Sweetest Thing by soreimoon, it's amazing)

various tugs ocs :-)

capo/captain/miss claymore is a figure from captain zero’s past that he desperately tries to forget. as mentioned in the picture, she is quite the imposing figure, and with her line of work, it’s a given that she’s as ruthless and cunning as one may expect. claymore and her men handle jobs that involve racketeering and smuggling, from weapons to booze, and back when she was younger (and still had a leash around captain zero’s neck which made her a source of extreme paranoia for him) she’s extremely adamant on how things should be done in her turf. after captain zero ditched his relations with her and left her to handle the smuggling business he haphazardly left behind, she has her sights on him and promised to give him the welcome back party he deserves, even going so far as wanting to invite his employees as well! how courteous of her.

zayin (in TUGS canon) is the newest addition to the z-stacks. although he’s a generally pleasant fellow and wants to be on at least good terms with everyone, zayin is protective of his self image – he makes sure he’s perceived as someone respectable and has a tendency of viewing others as beneath them (not that he’ll ever admit it, but the way he sometimes talk… shows). being a switcher, zayin takes up various jobs around bigg city port, and boy is he competent at them! they're one of the few z-stacks that zorran somewhat likes because they always get the job done and right and quick. nonetheless, he's often exasperated at how zayin quickly skedaddles to chat up the star tugs and continue his amicable relationship with them, especially top hat (whom he has a strange fixation on). zip and zug likes zayin for his friendliness, though, and he views them as charming yet pitiable beings.

honestly foolish's character walking the slightly meta line of "oo this'll be fun content" makes him feel like that marvel immortal character who is only immortal as long as he doesn't get bored (and was played by jeff goldblum in the movies). like idk why but the more i see of foolish's rp the more solidified the comparison gets in my mind.

like it's kinda cool for a headcanon ngl and also it means i'm not really surprised pikachu-ing when, say, he flips a coin to decide whether to rat out his son-in-law, or climbs into an incubator of corruption crystals, or doesn't ENTIRELY kick owen out of the kingdom. it's not that he doesn't CARE, but..... well, wouldn't it be interesting? don't you want to know what would happen?

Ooh; with Chapter 0 coming, we'll finally learn what Forge said on page 86 of chapter 4.

I'm willing to wager that it's "June".

[pishifuzul]

the most annoying thing about rust so far is I can't even be annoyed by the extra hoops it's making me jump thru re:typing and referencing bc when I think about it it's all very sensible in fact. like you're insufferable but actually there's good reason.

Notes on my #fragranceJourney so far, as someone who historically gets violent headaches and asthma attacks from wearing perfume:

Not a Perfume (Juliette Has a Gun): very popular and I can see why. Kind of sexy but not musky. Weirdly comforting. Makes me feel sick, but just a little - 1.5/5 headache rating.

Ghost in the Shell, Etat Libre d'Orange -wearing this one now. I didn't only try it for the name, but I won't pretend it wasn't a factor. Was hoping I'd smell like a server room, but it's fruitier than that. Still, pretty nice. Sharp and a little herbal. Fades fast, though! Headache rating: 1/5

Neon Rose, Floral Street: it's narsty. Very sticky, musty, old lady kind of floral. This smells like the drawer sachets my grandma used to get from Michael's, but worse. As an added bonus, makes my lungs burn with a side of light nausea. 5/5 headache rating, if anyone wants this one please come take it.

Neroli Portofino, Tom Ford: you're not gonna believe this, but it turns out Tom Ford fragrances are really nice! I like this one so much I put it on to go make shelves in a room by myself yesterday. Dares to ask the question: what if Mrs Meyers cleaning products were kind of sexy with it? Very herbal and citrusy and a little mysterious. AND a 0/5 headache rating, making it the clear winner so far. I'm going to have to do some bad, shocking things to afford a steady supply of this going forward.

Forecasting: feeling drawn to fucking around with vetiver and oud in the near future. Increasingly possible I'm just straight-up allergic to something in rose or iris scents, thus causing some review bias. Also: if there's a perfume out there that will make me smell like pu erh tea, let a bitch know!

now that i have tampermonkey ive spent the past like hour trying to figure out how to use it to update the dark mode palette to include the navy again because i hate that it's just black. i looked at tumblr's CSS and literally the dark mode palette takes the "navy" variable and just sets it to 0, 0, 0 AKA black. i can edit it in the inspector (which is how i know exactly what they did) but i haven't figured out tampermonkey syntax/functionality to the extent i know how to script it to do this. this is a reasonable rabbit hole to be going down 30 minutes after i am supposed to be in bed

Nice statistical analysis of human behavior and economics you have there. Would be a shame if any animal spirits introduced an element of chaos so unpredictable it reduces nearly all but the most broad observations to complete randomness.

not sure if we as x men fans are ready to hear this. but in terms of power levels, I think warlock is 100% the most powerful of all the x men

op how could you leave out gonzo 😢

NOAA has a third member of its hurricane fleet and that is Gonzo the Gulfstream-IV

NOAA has a whole blog post about these aircraft and their backstory: https://celebrating200years.noaa.gov/magazine/muppets/welcome.html

This is especially frustrating because the only reason we know the wind speed is because NOAA's Hurricane Hunters literally fly into the hurricane and collect vital data. They fly in and out of the storm over and over in 8 hour shifts.

This brave team flies two identical Lockheed P3s called Kermit and Miss Piggy.

You can see the dangling ornaments in the videos to determine which plane they are in.

And when I say they fly into the hurricane, I mean they fly *into* the hurricane.

Here they are in the eye of Milton.

And here they are in the eye of Irma.

As you may notice, this flight was in Kermit.

So the next time you see live data about a hurricane's wind speed and pressure, just remember how that was collected and don't be a giant turd about it.

And please vote because conservatives want to kill NOAA.
