I’ve given this a lot of thought since cohen answered it.
The problem we run into is stuff like, are alliances and factions allowed? Whats the battlefield like? What are the win conditions? Last Person standing? 4 Stock? Crowd favorite?
Cohen has a masters which easily makes him the smartest, and therefore the least trustworthy. He also has a good eye for analyzing people. He’s tall and has good reach. He listens to weird music which has made his movements unpredictable and wild. His downfall is that he overthinks things.
Adrienne runs three times a week and does a lot of weight training so her physical stats are the most well rounded. I think she’d be the most likely to go on a “hike” which is absolutely terrifying. She’s shorter and has a lower center of gravity which is good for defense. Her downfall is that she is incredibly kind and trusting so susceptible to skullduggery.
Rah’s cosplays and mastery of backgrounds makes them a master of trickery, stealth and disguise. Rah tends to blend in, and is sometimes overlooked but don’t be fooled. Thats all part of the plan. Rah knows a lot about birds so its possible they’ve mastered the power of flight. Weakness: one on one fights.
To many, Toby is an enigma, but I have known him a long time. He is small, wily and quick and will strike when least expected. I have personally seen him do parkour. He is dexterous, but his attacks don’t do much damage. Timing will be key. Weakness: Extremely shy.
Angela is a machine. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her take a break which means her stamina is off the charts. Capable of dealing some incredible burns with zero regard for her own safety. (she once renamed an important work document just to dunk on me) She also knows everything that goes on creatively at WP, which has possible psionic implications. Incredibly powerful. No known weaknesses.
Gina is a solver of practical problems. She is a go-getter. You give her something to do and she just does it. Thats incredible. You can’t trust someone like that in a fight. You never know what they’re going to do. Complete wildcard. Approach with caution.
What Shelby lacks in raw power, she makes up for in experience. She has been on the scene as long as any of us can remember. Hardened by the unending discourse, and years of me calling her “Shill-by Crapp,” her CON stat is crazy high. She will just outlast you, somehow. Bottom line. Weakness: happily married and therefore vulnerable to emotional blackmail.
Phil is another all-rounder. He can do almost any job you give him, and will do it well. An excellent edition to any team or alliance. He only has one weakness and thats that i can see all his thirsty favs on twitter. YIKES buddy.
Andrew needs no introduction, but he does need a beatdown. I’d say his weakness is his extremely punchable physique. His strengths are that he is my boss and I don’t know if I can beat up my boss. I mean, I know I can but should I? Truly a formidable foe. I think I’ve seen him throw away a full cup of coffee. You don’t want to fight someone who cares so little about what others think of him.
I don’t know the battle prowess of the other members of the team, but these are the ones I’d look out for.
Orpheus in the legs that fall asleep and the eyes you can’t keep open, and the endless cups off coffee that didn’t work, caffeine immunity creeping in. He’s the sand in your eyes the day after an allnighter, coaxing you to pause, letting you know the world can wait a few hours. In the vivid daydreams and dizzy thoughts that conjure themselves into vision even when you don’t close your eyes. He’s the sudden smells that take you back a decade and are gone as quickly as they come.
Hades stands not in graveyards but on every corner and every bridge. Dutiful accountant, he knows your name, and it waits on his tongue. He’s not there to rush you, nor help you. Perhaps his presence is enough. Ideation, Hades is in cold fingers and forgotten teas, crumbles leaves that tell you he’s taken her away again. He’s in the rinds of fruit and discarded husks, the plucked leaves, the end, always waiting at the core of everything.
Persephone is in the fresh fruit, ripe and ready to burst, eating them, destroying them feels like a sin, like delicious betrayal. Shes the first sharp bite and the way the juice rolls down your chin, in the decisions you hold steadfastly onto.
Aphrodite is in the sharp line of lipstick, and the boldness of a sharp cateye, but also the next day when it’s smeared and freckled with chipped mascara, the glance in the mirror when you see yourself like this and shrug, ‘not so bad’. She’s in the burst of warmth and weak you feel when you watch a child laugh with its grandmother. She’s there in that moment you fit into those jeans, she’s there when you slip into sweatpants and have a second slice of cake. When you shit talk your ex she’s there, nodding and making sure you know he was no hood for you.
Dionysus walks in when your friends do, carrying his revelry on their shoulders. With a bottle of champange, -a treat-, he’s not so much in drinking it as he is shaking it up and popping the cork, the laughter and the mess that ensues, the sticky fingers that last the night. He’s there in the morning next as well, surveying the damage and grinning like a king when you scrape chips off the couch.
Hestia is in a recipe that came out perfect the first try and in the twenty failed attempts in another. She is the warm crackle of a bonfire that friends and family gathers around on a crisp evening with cups of warm cider in your hands. She guides your hand when feeding a baby for the first time and smiles indulgently as you stuff your face with gooey cookies still hot off the rack. She’s a faint brush of cinnamon and wood smoke across your nose and the sound of footsteps big and small crunching leaves.
wait is 5! = 120 an actual math thing i just reblogged it bc i sincerely believe that yelling a number makes it bigger
An exclamation point after a number means factorial. Five factorial is 5 times 4 times 3 times 2 times 1. Three factorial is 3 times 2 times 1, etc.
But the more exclamation points after a number, the less big it is, a double factorial is every other number, so 6!! is 6 times 4 times 2, which is less than 6!, So yelling a number makes it bigger, but yelling louder makes it smaller again
In Austria, we call kittens at that age “Autodromkatzerl”, which translates to “bumper car kittens”, because of the way their tail sticks up. It’s not a really common word, but a very cute one, I think
this is a genuinely delightful bit of knowledge, thank you for sharing this!! omg
WELP here’s the project I did for school that I wanna work into a more personal project throughout this summer and in the future as well. I haven’t done a comic in a long time, so there was a lot of experimenting here and I’m gonna apologize ahead for my shaky storytelling cuz writing is not my forte, although I do plan on fixing this up in the future. It’s a sort of prequel to what I wanna do for my zodiac kids, so it was just a lot of messing around with them. Nothing is historically accurate; its psuedo history and fanstasy so hahaHA
