Alright but Dallas has roughly twice the population of Glasgow, and Glasgow’s the biggest city in all of Scotland (that might not be saying much though, since we only have 7 cities)

Okay, so I got curious and googled and:

That probably helps tbh. Texas is huge.

But yeah, Dallas is absolutely big enough I won’t fucking drive in it. I’m a bad driver, so it scaring me should maybe not be taken as an indicator, but it does.

Then again. Fort Worth has only a slightly smaller area and the population is not even comparable:

Fort Worth Population (not including unincorporated county land or all the billion tiny split off suburbs that are technically their own cities of course):

Dallas Population:

And Glasgow bc like I said you got me curious, lmao:

But yeah, I maintain that Dallas is fucking terrifying even comparing it to it’s “sister city”.

(To say nothing of the one time I went to NYC, don’t ask me where in NYC cause I don’t remember, and Dallas had been my idea of big city and I immediately just said “...oh. fuck..”)

@ulvdakota: I’d take a commission, I could send you some examples if you want?

Sure! My messages are always open.

Conservator is out. Channeling our grandpappies is in, call it The Icebox. B)

The Icebox sounds like something ppl would use for Hoth lol

@ulvdakota replied to your post “when ur writing a star wars fic and totally forget the name...”

I don’t like ‘conservator’ either tbh

I want to know who decided some of these words. Plasteel and durasteel is fine. fresher i also get (despite my confusion). but who the HELL decided ‘thermaslice’ was a perfectly acceptable alternate to TOASTER.

Your follower count is 800+ maybe?? defos somewhere up there

follower count guesses

definitely 800+ with emphasis on the + because it’s a LOT more than that

27 and 40?

27. Have you done anything that scared you?

yeah i changed my major from graphic design to sculpture so like i just threw out a whole career and life trajectory and that was scary.

40. Did anything happen that you were sure would change you as a person but it really didn’t?

i don’t think so. this year i felt like a lot of the things that happened that were changing me this year and last year finally kicked in and made me, like, a different person in some aspects of my life i guess. also i changed my url for the first time ever which obviously did not change my trash blog lmao ;’)

[izzyovercoffee]

I once put together a list of all the main-ish characters, if you’d like it?

yes

please

lmao

help me

ulvdakota replied to your post: i had… a dream?? or like one of those half-lucid...

Only one thing to say about that dream; A'den should’ve done much more than break Kal’s jaw.

i’m preeeeetty sure he cooled down almost immediately and then was horrified by what he’d done, but yeah, agreed...

ulvdakota replied to your post “Like, just, can you imagine being Maze and having a decent amount of...”

Okay but post war Maze sitting down to chat with Spar & Sull and just going ‘where do I kriffing start’

Poor man. 😂 Also, poor Spar and Sull, listening to three years worth of repressed venting.

@ulvdakota replied to your post “why you always check to make sure the order is right before you pay:...”

Yeah I’ve had sites double the item number without showing it in the cart, it’s not fun having to explain it to the person that’s paying lmao

Unfortunately in this case I am the one paying :( 

But I always double check anyways. Sometimes my extensions cause it when I have to allow certain scripts for the ordering and such so. Partially my fault it happens anyhow but still lol

always double check the order in checkout.

ulvdakota replied to your post “Ordo and singing hc?”

Okay but the thought of Ordo singing Skinnymalinkie or Ye Cannae Shove Yer Grannie is hilarious

*record scratch*

okay, what.

I’m gonna have to google these now.

@ulvdakota replied to your post: When you’re not sure whether to be glad for...

Oh gods, please don’t let us get more Kal fans appearing

Possible good outcomes:

More balanced Mando stuff by people who aren’t afraid to transform the work or borrow the good bits for new canon

That but for clones

Etain/Dar??? (you know, for me personally anyway)

Emotional Journeys about the characters, who I love even when I want to fist fight KT

Reasonable fans who can like a thing and also figure out where it fucks up

Possible Yikes(TM):

More Kal-is-the-savior fans

People who don’t understand that the way women are held up in the series is still misogynistic, yes, even the “daughters to be tougher” quote

I have to deal with more “bleh bleh Etain bleh purposeful entrapment with her lady parts bleh bleh deserved what she got bleh” (and I will stab.)

Lots of missed abelism and some missed racism thrown in there too that then gets casually reproduced

More thinly veiled libertarian Mando bullshit

ulvdakota replied to your post “notactuallyherenotreally replied to your post: ...”

Also there’s a version of ye cannae shove yer granny that just lists all the family members you can shove off the bus, it’s great

Oh my god??

(why are scottish children’s songs apparently ruder and funnier than american ones. It’s great!)

27 and 76?

27: favorite cold weather activity

Ngl, I don't do cold weather well. I'm a Texan; we don't DO temperatures at or below freezing lmao. But honestly probably napping. I respond to cold with hibernation. It's unfortunate I'm not a bear.

76. Favorite potato food:

... do sweet potato fries count? I mean they're in the name and...

No?

Okay, then definitely tatter tots and curly fries, on the crispy side please.

[thesummerstorms]

16 and 48?

16. What food did you try for the first time?

Truffle mac and cheese, which only half counts as it wasn’t my plate (I was trying it off a family member’s plate) and I’ve technically had truffle oil before many many many years ago, but as someone who hates whole mushrooms I was surprised at how good it tasted.

Other than that... I was not super adventurous this year.

48. If you could go on an adventure during the remaining days of the year, where would you go and what would you do?  Who would you go this?

I’ve never left the US before, so I’d like to go to another country and see the historical sites and the art  & history museums, if I could afford it. Literally no idea who I’d take with me though. Honestly, maybe no one- especially when I’m in museums, I tend to want to go much slower than the people I’m with to really take in the details.

Some day, maybe like, the decade after the one we’re about to start, maybe I’ll be able to afford it.

ulvdakota replied to your post “I’m always thrown by the “what do they keep in their pockets” question...”

In school I would keep a sharpener and rubber (eraser? idk what you’d call them) in my trouser pockets but that was all that would fit. My blazer pockets could hold SO MUCH though, it was incredible

eraser is the right word. I do have to admit I keep finding expo markers I forgot in my coat pockets, so those are marginally better, but I still have jackets where my phone doesn’t fit comfortably.

(which is part of my annoyance at the “lets make phone screens bigger and bigger!!!!” trend, the other being that my hands are small.)

ulvdakota replied to your post “izzyovercoffee replied to your post “Of all the clones Kal adopted,...”

Just gonna pop in because I saw A’den mentioned and he’s my darling, but I agree with Izzy that he’s in a weird spot of both being obviously attached to Kal (the ‘if it’s good enough for Kal’ sergeant comment) and yet he’s also got friends outside of Kal’s circle (Nyreen and, to an extent, Yayax squad) so I think any decision would be based on what the other nulls did

Okay, I see, that’s fair.
