“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.
The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.
Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)
I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it
just so everyone knows, this has already been memorialized in a runestone

this really makes me angry. My gf cries herself to sleep sometimes because college is too fucking expensive here in the states.
I’m 27 and I really want to go back to school and I can’t. It’s just too expensive for me to afford with the job I have. Here in the states, they don’t want you to succeed if you are poor. It’s easier to kick someone when they are down. I swear to God, I hate it here.
Bolding part of the above because it’s just oh so fucking true.
A huge part of the cause of this is the morbid fear of socialism in the US. Or anything vaguely remotely resembling socialism.
Hey anon, I’m really sorry for the week-long wait, and I hope you’ve been coping okay. Writing Anabasis is pretty cathartic for me, so I’m glad it’s good for other people, too.
I really wanted to finish up this section so I could post it for you – hope you like it! This snippet follows immediately after the last snippet I posted. (So I think this marks the first time I’ve posted two bits that actually connect!) It also makes reference to this snippet.
In which Anakin explains his new tattoo, Padmé learns she was baby Vader’s secret hero, and Orn Free Taa should probably start running.
Warnings for discussion of slavery, references to Anakin’s transmitter explosion, and very oblique references to conditioning and abuse of children.
All of that said, this is actually a pretty happy snippet.
They talked in circles for another two hours, and by the
time Padmé saw her guests out, very little had changed. Taa and his cronies
remained unmoved, and still planned to bring their bill to a vote, in spite of
their demonstrated inability to defend it with anything other than easily
debunked talking points. She was still less confident than she’d like to be that
they would fail. But at least they now seemed more sullen than smug. And they’d
kept glancing nervously at Anakin and then away.
He’d joined their meeting ostensibly as an unofficial
representative of the Outer Rim Territories, but he’d referred more often to
Imperial policies than to Tatooine. As political tactics went, it was both
transparent and stunningly effective.
And Padmé would be lying if she said she hadn’t enjoyed
watching it play out.
So she was more than a little surprised when, after the last
of her guests had gone, Anakin turned to her with a set jaw and shuttered eyes
and snapped, “I’m not going to apologize.”
I’m to bed. I’m through the second season of Borgias, on the second rewatch of this in a month. (Last time was just because. This time I’m doing screen caps and random notes for Feathers of Red.) I’m highly entertained by Cardinal Sforza, there are bits of scene I’m cackling about for tweaking for the AU, and also, his haircut in the second season remains horrible. Cesare’s isn’t too much better, but at least it’s not the monstrosity they foisted off on Ascanio.
Also, this show has so much red in it, and such a fantastic, glorious crimson color at that.
Hugs for everyone, and I hope y’all sleep well when you get there!
Once, a zillion years ago, I woke up early on a Pennsic morning. My nose was cold, I tried to curl my tail over it, & I DIDN’T HAVE ONE.
Yeah, that was a sucky day.
That does indeed suck.
Right now, what frustrates me the most is the lack of wings. Not so much to fly, but because a flare of wings would more than double the visible size, and that’s going to scare the crap out of anything menacing me or mine. I mean, really. Tiny person suddenly is much, much bigger person, and they can fly, and they can hit the foolish menacing twit with those wings, and ok, I also kinda want the damned teeth and the breathing of fire, because sharp teeth and fire.
(Today still felt like wings were missing, and the tail, but manageable. Not snapping my teeth at thin air because there are supposed to be more of them and sharper and nomming things from the air.)
