#work boot

[validatemylife]

I ordered new boots.

I’ve been wearing the same boots for four or five years now. I busted out the sides of them about a year and a half in. The soles have been leaking for at LEAST two years. They’re starting to separate from the soles, which look sewn in but aren’t. The insoles are wearing thin enough to feel the holes. They’re starting to legitimately fall apart on my feet.

They’re the best shoes I’ve ever owned. They felt like they were made for my feet the second I put them on. Tough enough to wear at work, comfortable enough to be daily drivers, snazzy enough to wear to The Function. Truly the platonic ideal of footwear. They stopped selling them well before I blew out the sides with my flat fuck feet. Timberlands women’s work boot pro, size 7-1/2, model number A1KJR. I looked for a replacement for this fuckin boot for years. They’ve been out of production for so long now that, even if I did find a pair, the soles would be dry-rotted.

All the replacement options are butt ugly. I’m not asking for much, I just want composite toe boots. The brands that DO carry safety toes in women’s sizes don’t exactly have a good selection (do any of them carry men’s 5-1/2s or 6es? ALSO NO). One brand has like four butt ugly options, three of which are sneakers (actually, half the safety toe options across all bands are sneakers). Another brand in particular have this camelesque hump at the toe which makes them both distinctive AND absolutely unbearably buttfuck ugly. It’s rare that ANY of them have all the options I’m looking for. And nothing will ever feel that comfortable again; to reiterate, it truly felt like they were molded for my feet alone from the very first day I put them on.

Anyways. I picked a pair that I hate the least. I’m upset about it and I know they’ll be shit and I’ll regret spending the money. But the meager comforts I have been clinging to continue to disintegrate, whether or not I get new boots.

It’s progress.

Hey, do any of you people remember that one tf2 comic where soldier is talking to a bunch of wooden cutouts thinking they’re real people? You know how it was supposed to be a joke about how insane Soldier is, unable to differentiate the inanimate from the alive? Am I the only one who lost my mind about the implications of that or am I going just as insane as him.

You can see how lazy I got near the end but I couldn’t be bothered to work on this anymore

Team Dark Week Day 7 - Live and Learning Experience

If he can pull this off he'll earn himself a wayfinding badge for his scout sash 👌

And that's a wrap on Team Dark week!! Bit quicker with the shading and background this time because 4 panels in this style takes forever actually h a h - that said I'll be touching them up before I post this whole week of panels as a master post soon (which will include some extra little doodles I didn't get to add to the main plotline), so keep an eye out for that!

And for those of you that have been following along daily, I hope you all enjoyed this silly little hiking story!

DC x DP Prompt

To the delight of Gotham's citizens, and the dismay of her criminal underbelly, the GCPD has a new specialized unit that ACTUALLY apprehends criminals and brings them to justice!

It's a relatively small squad of mostly young adults, who looked fresh out of their teens. But age didn't matter once they got the work done. And they did, as they've already got criminals like Penguin, Riddler, and Bane behind bars for what looks to be 'for good'.

No one besides Commissioner Gordan knows anything about the squad as they operate as a mostly separate entity from GCPD. It was rare to see any of them, and any photos taken were unusually blurry. They are also extremely secretive; if you exclude their social media which are usually just shit posts, memes, and thirst edits of the Wayne family.

They were a total mystery. Almost as mysterious as Batman.

But those who have seen/worked with the squad before all had the same thing to say about them. They were cool. They had an unusually effective method. And their leader is a menace. With his sharp teeth and pointed smile. And bright blue eyes that spoke to your soul. It was a pleasure to see/ work with him, it really was. But they weren't planning on doing so again for a long time.

That being said, Gotham had been quiet for a while. A bit too quiet if you ask anyone, especially the Bats. Strangely, it didn't feel like the usual calm before the shit storm. The instinctual pit in their guts that usually formed just wasn't there. This was different. This wasn't the calm before the storm. This was the ocean receding. But no one seemed to realize it yet.

Not until the tsunami came crashing down on them.

The GCPD special unit accounts that had been inactive for the last three months suddenly pinged to life. Everyone who followed them clicked the notification almost immediately. With this unnerving calm surrounding them, who the hell didn't want to see what batshit crazy statement they would make after three months of radio silence.

What they didn't expect, was to see a crystal-clear picture of justice finally being served.

The picture was a selfie, taken in an abandoned warehouse. In the middle of the dirty floor was the Joker. He was tied up and his head hung low. You could see how beaten he was, his clothes torn and bloody. His face paint was also coming off, revealing pale blotchy skin. Reminding everyone that, he was still human, just like the rest of them.

Behind him, all lined up with smiles on their faces, was Team Phantom. They were a bit bloody and bruised as well but overall in much better condition. They weren't wearing the normal GCPD navy blue uniform, but black and white ones. All stylized to fit the wearers taste. They all looked so young, but their eyes looked like old tired eyes, finally getting some relief.

From in the corner was their leader. Only part of his face was in the picture. One glowing blue eye, and part of his Cheshire smile. His hand making a peace sign next to the Joker. Even with only part of his being shown, everyone could tell he was relived as well.

And while the picture itself was shocking, the caption was what really got them. The top was what you would usually expect from the team. A big bold 'GOT EM' ' at the top. But at the bottom in small, almost unnoticeable text was:

"He will face his punishment. We will get our retribution. May we finally rest in peace."
