we said forever (and said it too soon)

“Do you think, that maybe in another universe, we would’ve grown old together?” The words were whispered quietly into the air between you and the blonde, your heart breaking as you took the sight of her in as the silence grew.

You watched closely as Leah swallowed hard, her eyes meeting yours for only the briefest of seconds before they darted elsewhere, anywhere but at you, and you cursed mentally as you found yourself absolutely smitten with the way the white suit rested so elegantly on her frame.

“…Maybe, yeah…maybe...in another life, perhaps,” the words were followed with a small shrug, a wince accompanying the action as the skipper looked at the ground.

Feeling your eyes starting to sting, you nodded at her words, your own escaping softly as you took a step back slowly, then another, slowly backing away before she could see you break.

“Yeah, maybe in another life…congrats again, I- I wish you two the best, I really do."

It really wasn't meant to be. (he's on Bremerton-Seattle this season)

He's such a cool boat. His sister is really pretty but she's just as difficult to get as him.

morning ferry! spending the week on lháqemesh/san juan island for my partner's job

There's one of the ferries' horn signals (I think it's warning small craft to clear the way) that sounds a lot like the horn bit sampled at the start of Jump Around, and every time I hear it, I get that stuck in my head for a while.

Posting more of the boat stuff that I drew, as cursed as it may be. I need to get better at shading since some stuff like barely showed up.

The MV Suquamish is oddly cute compared to the other ferries in the fleet. I don't know why. He's been everywhere and I hope he gets a permanent route since being a relief boat means that he also gets dragged everywhere. I think his siblings, MV Samish and MV Chimacum, more or less have permanent routes but the oldest Olympic, MV Tokitae, seems to also be a relief boat more or less and is usually on the Mukilteo-Clinton route. As of today, MV Suquamish is currently on the Kingston-Edmonds route and is hanging out with MV Spokane, which is a huge ferry from the 1970s and probably has the best interior of the current fleet. Also have you seen her and her brother, the MV Walla Walla's original interiors? They did these boats so dirty with the current interiors. Sad thing is, they still have some of the coolest interiors at the moment in the fleet, even with the Wally's ad wall around his galley. WHY.

I hope I can draw more of them since I do like drawing gijinkas of them. I'm surprised that I didn't find any for the Washington ferries??? I know these boats are kinda mid with the green used in the livery isn't the prettiest and looks terrible when sunbleached. Apparently model makers don't really like them either. They used to have multiple colors, with a light blue on top of the green and orange on bottom that you can find in some older paintings and pictures of the boats. It really made a difference.

one thing that i cant stop thinking about is astarion's family. all of the other origin characters we are able to find out at least something about their childhood-- we get to meet wyll's father and shadowheart's parents, gale can talk about his mother, you can visit the grave of karlach's parents (and obviously lae'zel grew up in an egg so no parents for her), but we never hear anything about where astarion came from. he must've had someone who loved him once, enough to give him a coffin, a proper burial, and a nice gravestone in a cemetery. he was an elf, too, and since elves can live around 750 years in DND, there's an incredibly high chance that his parents are just... out there, somewhere, thinking that their son has been dead this whole time.

i get conflicting results on what the name "Astarion" even means, but most of the results seem to boil down to "Loyal/Faithful Son," "Shining/Sun-like Princeling," or "Little Star." It seems like such an affectionate name that a parent would give to a child whom they loved very, very much.

personally, i think he grew up in a middle-class family, not quite nobility, but also not poor, either. he became a magistrate to make his parents proud. he says he doesn't remember much of his time pre-cazador, so i like to think that his childhood was quiet, stable, and unassuming. after his death they likely left baldur's gate, and so after enduring 200 years of servitude and regaining freedom after the Elder Brain, he wouldn't even know where to begin looking for them, not to mention how likely ashamed he would be to return to them as a vampire, so much changed from the person he used to be.

Snoozing all day long! 😴

As we all shut down and prepare ourselves for our afternoon naps, take a moment and watch how our resident animals are celebrating World Sleep Day (15 March 2024) by cozying up in their enclosures.

World Sleep Day is an awareness activity of World Sleep Society, founded by World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM) and World Sleep Federation (WSF).

As an explanation for why this whole mess with the Hugo awards was allowed to happen… The Constitution of the WSFS was established by people who were enamoured with Libertarian ideals that individual Worldcons should do what they want, whilst being simultaneously enamoured with a rigid set of rules and procedures that had to be followed.

Oh. My. Dog.

This very good girl dressed as a Washington State Ferry for Halloween!

[Video description: A TikTok from @ washingtonstatedot. The TikTok is a reply to a comment from Juanito Haeckermann-Goodoy reading "@Washngton State DOT can we make this happen for us." A medium-sized dog is shown sitting. It is wearing a homemade sandwich board-style Washington State Ferry costume and a sailor hat, presumably from a sailor costume for dogs. The dog then runs across a photo of a ferry mid-sailing. The TikTok "she was a fairy" audio plays over the entire video. During the spoken portion of the audio, a caption reads "She was a ✨⛴️ ferry ⛴️✨." End video description.]
