Love confess-...oh!

Kind of a "sequel" to this, but it's really just about that one scene in fifteen.

Prompt in Memes 5

Once more, have a prompt entirely in memes because I'm too lazy to properly write one right now lol.

I've been doing a bit of research, and it turns out in New York City you are required to have at least seven years of experience to become certified as a "master plumber." A minimum of two of these years need to be spent as a "journeyman plumber," where you're licensed to repair pipes so long as you're working under the supervision of a master plumber.

Mario and Luigi can't legally run their business if they're both journeyman plumbers, but that would mean (if they are really both 24-25 like Shigeru Miyamoto says) at least one of them began training to be a plumber the instant he got out of high school. But if that's the case, how did they end up working in demolition?

My theory is that, since demolition companies sometimes locate and strip fixtures in commercial and residential properties for reuse or resale, plumbing fittings included, The Wrecking Crew hired the two plumbers-in-training to spot salvageable materials and take them apart. But if Foreman Spike happens to have a bone to pick and/or is on a power trip, I can easily imagine him adding hard labor on top of whatever plumbing-related jobs they were assigned until their schedule was filled with far more wrecking than plumbing.

But eventually, Mario got all his hours logged, passed his master plumber exam, got his commercial activity license, and got him and his brother the heck out of there. Which brings me to an additional theory that Luigi is still a journeyman plumber and not yet a master plumber.

There's a few bits of Nintendo lore that describe Luigi as something of an "understudy," or otherwise not quite as experienced as his brother in the realm of plumbing.

Which makes sense given the way Luigi seems to take on the apprentice role, closely watching the way Mario works and carrying around all the tools.

I think Luigi didn't immediately know what he wanted to do the moment he graduated high school the way Mario did. Maybe he dabbled in mechanics for a little bit before he ultimately decided to join his bro in his plumbing venture, but as a result he's a few years behind.

An Agonizing and Passionate Eclipse ✨🌑☀️

Della in armor! Della in armor! ⚔️

Throwing my sword into the stone for Knight Della (apparently before Cowboy Della kicks the saloon door in? too many puns??).

Gave her a touch of Spear of Selene spacesuit red, with inspiration from a very specific Legend of Korra background that I was paused on, and Sokka's space sword that I assume she found in Xadia after it was lost to fire and time. 😉☄️

Hell-o guy, gals, and non binary pals, this is your Cabin Crew Leader Thoth speaking! Welcome aboard this Flight of the Dead with Mwt Airlines! Thank you for your attention while I go through some important safety information for you!

In preparation for departure, be certain that your mummy is laid flat and your canopic jars are stowed. Make sure that your carry-on offerings are placed completely under the coffin in front of you. Portable shabtis are not approved for use inflight, however, you may use protective amulets when advised by your crew. Please direct your attention to Ammit in the cabin. For everyone’s safety, Osiris’ regulations require your compliance with all hieroglyphic signs and invocations, or Ammit is allowed to eat you before we serve inflight pA.t cake.

Please review the ‘How Not to Get Your Heart Eaten’ card in the seat pocket in front of you. It explains what a heart scarab is as well as the favourite bribe gifts of all the 42 Assessors of Maat. Your sarcophagus serves as an approved flotation device. To use it, pull up and take it with you to the nearest usable exit. After exiting the flight, place your arms through the straps and then hug coffin lid to your chest. As the flight attendants are pointing out, there are exits here, here and, here (Ammit at this point twists in classic ‘Walk like an Egyptian’ poses to demonstrate this).

Take a moment to locate the exit nearest you keeping in mind that the closest usable exit may be located behind you. If there is a loss of this flight’s divine power, don’t worry; you’re already dead so oxygen isn’t needed where you’re going! As a reminder, smoking is not permitted in any area of the aircraft because all of you are covered in very flammable materials. We don’t want a repeat of Tutankhamun do we! Finally, we ask you not to distract the duatlings with knives on the wings. If you upset a creature who’s dual wielding knives that is on you.

On behalf of Anubis, the incorporeal embodiment of Ma’at and your entire crew, it is our pleasure to have you aboard.

Enjoy your flight to Aaru!

do you guys ever wonder why dazai kept his mafia phone even after he defected 4 years prior? because i do. a lot.

i doodled my interpretation of what some newborn hatchlings (egglings?) would look like. each breed starts out life a little differently; some are ready to run and fend for themselves, while some take days just to open their eyes and rely on their parents' care. some have egg teeth, and some need to wait for their wings and crests to unfurl and strengthen.

March to Camelot prompt 2 - Fool

[okayto]

I'm in a reference class right now and I just get so irrationally angry about the requirements.

Like, obviously, the purpose of the class is to make sure all the theoretically-future (or sometimes current) librarians know how to actually look things up AND verify sources AND in a wide variety of subjects and topics. Yes, good, valuable, important.

BUT I hate it so much. I hate questions that sound like they came from an alien whose best human impression comes from old chatbots: "Who is Zora Neale Hurston? What is she known for? Does Sparkle Library have any of her books?" why are you asking the first two questions if you clearly know them enough to ask the third "What's this geologic feature I saw in town? What's its history? Where is it?" can I point you to Google Maps please "What is the meaning of the word fandom?" why am I required to find you four verified resources on a dictionary definition "Can you help me find articles about this topic" yes but our professor hasn't actually given us examples of how they'd 'verify' articles so IDK if this will work even though it's literally exactly how I'd do this in my actual library job where I provide reference services to college students.
