Inspector Grosky. Then We'd Adopt Emmy.

Hello, friends!

I reworked the ol' "Schweizer Guide to Spotting Tangents" lecture from my comics-teaching days, figured I'd share it here. If you want a free, printable PDF for yourself or to share (especially if you're an educator), you can find it at the bottom of this same lesson on my website.

bonus below the cut of me being utterly devastated

Thank you for being such a cool mutual <3 Seeing you in my notifs puts a big grin on my face.

I wish I could somehow project the warm fuzzies this message gave me, but alas!

I'm so glad we're mutuals! You bring me joy, and I love seeing you in my notifs too!

Star Wars prompt: Rebels with nothing to lose.

Rebel/Group of Rebels get caught in a fight with Darth Vader. Considering the casualty rates of the Emperor's right hand man (100% dead), they start pulling things outta their ass. Yeah, they're shooting at him, but also one guy just hauls ass and throws a flash-bang at Vader. Another guy comes up from behind and YANKS on Vader's cape (Edna Mode: NO CAPES). One manages to get the cape snagged on a chain on a speeder and puts a brick on the gas pedal. Someone finds a Star Wars Taser and shoots.

These guys know they are already dead, so why not throw everything they got? Throw helmets, throw boots, who cares? not them.

Bonus points if somehow, something works, and the Rebels are able to live another day. This comes at a cost with a high-ass bounty on their head, but they very much get to keep their heads that day, so who cares?

Bonus-bonus points if Luke/Leia are in the group, pre or post anyone (Luke, Leia, Vader) finding out. I think the funniest combo is Luke not knowing and Vader knowing. Dude gets whaled on by his son and can hardly do shit about it.

Desmond and the Wretched Beast (Keats) that won’t let him be self-destructive without very loudly alerting Raymond

sooooooo pretty!

Am reading a fic where the author doesn't want remnant to be supernatural, so they changed the canon a bit (https://archiveofourown.org/works/45313468?view_full_work=true for anyone interested). That's all well and good, except now I have the concept of William Afton going "ah yes, the secret to immortality" and it's just. blood plasma or something.

"I am unstoppable" and he doesn't figure it out because he never bothered to investigate anything not related to engineering. He dies too soon to figure it out as his body continues to age.

Henry and Michael don't figure it out, since neither of them are too keen on killing a child to look at it. Michael is still alive after the scoop for unknown reasons. The Missing Children possess the suits via regular possession. Of course, the Missing Children don't know either, since they are, you know, little kids.

It's kinda tragic too. All this destruction and death for something you could find at the blood bank.

You make a good point. The way taking deep breaths is written heavily distorts how long it actually takes. What takes a second to write would actually take longer to perform. It even leaves room for an awkward silence.

If you need an example, try to remember the last time you went to the doctor's office and they made you take deep breaths while they listened to your heartbeat. Not too bad in the doc's office, but pretty weird when you're in the middle of a conversation.

a big pet peeve of mine with these books is whenever shannon says that someone stopped and took 'multiple deep breaths' before continuing like im SORRY if i was talking to someone and they just stooped and started breathing deeply id assume they were having a panic attack or getting ready to fight me id probably back up
