Ok actually not sure if Ive told this story but I was at the lake and I saw a canada gosling with a big line of fishing wire around its leg but it wasn’t on there tight it was dragging pretty loosely behind for like five feet’s and I knew eventually it WOULD become super tangled bc I work in bird rehab so I thought okay. Ok I gotta get it off there and here is where I definitely went wrong bc as someone IN wildlife I know you shouldn’t just MESS with wildlife and I’d like to officially state here that none of you should attempt to free a distressed animal at the risk of your own safety
But as someone who works in bird rehab and who is also Very Stupid I thought I could pull it off. The only major problem was the gosling was surrounded by 20 or so adult Canada geese which some of you may understand is about as good as it being surrounded by 5 angry bears and a guy with a gun but I had
Corn Chips and the only thing geese love more than wrending human flesh from bone
Is Corn Chips
So I started tossing them as a distraction and it was working pretty well so I popped open my knife and went for the fishing line to just cut it real quick, free the gosling, and make my getaway.
But then a couple showed up from nowhere, recording me on their phones. I laughed and tried to tell them what I was doing, but they answered in another language and kept recording me.
That’s when I really thought about my position, barefoot, having hiked out of the woods, luring geese into a false sense of security with Corn Chip bait, and then starting into the flock with an open knife.
I kept trying to explain myself, the language barrier remained, and they kept recording. The geese finished the corn chips. I was standing in the middle of them.
The adults reacted immediately, hissing and charging with their wings spread. I was doing my best to back out of one of the circles of Hell, knife still bared, being bitten at by geese, still saying uselessly in English over and over “I work with birds. I’m trying to help the baby.” And they kept recording and now saying nothing.
I narrowly escaped, had to jog a bit to fully get into the clear.
I spent the next week waiting for a video to go viral overseas about a hillbilly trying to hunt geese barefoot with a knife.
oh, sure, when SPIDERMAN leaps from rooftop to rooftop, performing death-defying extreme parkour stunts as he swings through the city, he’s “a hero” and “protecting the city”, but when i do it i’m “illegally trespassing on private property” and “a menace to society”, THAT’S how it is, huh,
peter parker said this in civilian clothing
yours is the only funny and correct addition to this post
This was our first attempt at fixing some of the most egregious excuses for costumes we could find in Soul Calibur games. Both those heroines would return to our streams on other occasions (including a special, already released post).
Ivy
My mortal enemy, Ivy Valentine’s declining standard in outfits. Ugh. I chose her because I love to play her when I do get to play SC (not often these days), and because she’s supposed to be a Machiavellian Immortal Super Villain (sort of), and boy, do none of the lingerie designs communicate any of this.
So anyway.
I picked this concept art from SC5 cause at least it’s redeemable. I always liked her more suit-like designs, because that shows off her personality better, I think. So I went with that and gave her a functional, high-class (cause her fam’s rich) kind of suit. Due to a personal preference for 3-piece suits, I gave her a vest to go with it. I mean, she’s still hot as hell.
I gave her pants, obviously, and of course, actual shoes with thick, sturdy riding heels. My last addition was this thigh sword sheath thing, because I didn’t want to break the lines on her waist and hips with a belt, but it might have been better to give her a belt sheath that hangs in the back. Like this:
It’s not as silly and I could hide the belts under her suit or something. I also wanted to incorporate the snake motif more, so I did a derpy sketchy one on her knee there.
Oh, and the face!
I hope Cassandra is proud.

Tira
Tira’s aesthetic not only is “poor man’s Harley Quinn”, it’s also clothes so incredibly tattered, there’s no way they’d stay up under any circumstances.
I wasn’t particularly inspired during that streaming session, so I concluded that as long as her clothes look wearable, it counts as improvement.
Can’t say I’m all that proud of overall design, especially the cut of her blouse and pants, but they came out of desperation to save her from chilly winds and to layer the tights and undershirt I gave her. I guess it’s supposed to be a vaguely clown-like outfit without resembling Harley’s. Got the pink for the tights from her eye color and super faded pink-ish highlights in her hair…
…speaking of which, since her weird pigtails looked detached from the rest of the hairstyle, I got rid of them altogether and left her with a bob. Then recolored (and added some more) highlights matching her overall color scheme.
While the clothes I gave her are a big meh, I’m quite proud of the changes to her face, expression and makeup. Tira is supposed to be super unstable, so a runny mascara matches her personality much better and gives her more intense gaze. Also two-colored lipstick, to compliment the highlights. And I gave her much bigger mouth with more wicked smile, a bulbous nose and a unique jawline - now you can recognize this lady by her facial features, not just color scheme. You’re welcome.
why is miles being middle to upper middle class so hard to comprehend? He never had to starve, his parents are happy to buy him art supplies, he never had to steal he never needed donations from the people of New York. Literally, Peter is canonically more broke than Miles.
why is it that everyone plays Minecraft a little differently?? I think it’s really cool tbh like the first thing I do is make a bed and try to find a village but I was playing with my neighbor and he cleared all the trees and killed an enderman with a wooden sword on the first day . my sister likes to make holes in mountains for houses and my brother likes to make big wooden houses and I just think it’s very cool
