I watched Strange Aeons' video (here) about Internet Archaeology and the website Blingee. While the video was made two months ago, I checked to see if Blingee was still around. It's a yes, but no kind of deal. You can still go there but the developers are doing major re-hauls leaving this message behind here. So, I found a couple of alternatives: Picmix (here) and Online Image Editor (here). I went with Picmix and I am having the time of my life!

I don't have an account, but It's just so fun creating these gifs and edits. I'm so glad it exist! Here are a couple of them that I posted on Pillowfort.

Holy shit, this heatwave sucks! Well, at least it was raining on-and-off for the most part and Wednesday is probably going to be 77*F (that would be nice, especially if it was lower). Can you tell that I hate summer and I love the colder weather like autumn?

In other news, I haven't had the drive to draw or even write anything; the block is too large and the best I can do is doodle stuff. I wish I could manifest Sly/Cliff fanart or something, but nope. I need to get back into and I haven't drawn those guys in ages. Oh! Y'know?

I found this Patreon page for a M.A.S.K. revival that this guy was writing. I actually like some of the snippets of the characters so far. Seriously, they manage to make me weep for Dusty of all characters! Miles Mayhem oddly fascinates me; he's a strange fellow that I'm studying under a microscope. And will Floyd's potential finally be unleashed?! Will this is be the piece of media where he isn't swing on the either side of the pendulum; either he's a whiny bitch or he's high off of cocaine? You guys can find it here, and I'm really enjoying the progress (what little updates pop up) and I hope the book is a success! I'll give it a read when it comes out.

If you have ever read my Floyd manifesto I talk about in the story of The Forever Factor, where Matt Trakker decides to use an untested piece of technology to wipe Malloy's memory of a part of the day and dump him at a hotel. Basically, I decided to not let it slide and wrote it all down; where Floyd pieces it together by how much he can remember and is pissed by M.A.S.K's choice. I think I did okay for the most part, but what do you think?

You can read the fic on AO3 here, or you can read it under the cut as well!You Did Nothing! )

I completely forgot about this one! I mentioned in one of my posts talking about another oddball pair. This time it's about Sly Rax and Cliff Dagger from M.A.S.K. Despite M.A.S.K. being average, I always came back just for those two in the early episodes. There was something about their dynamic that held some promise, and I can see it work and have the eventually break up. Yes, I wrote a fanfic centered around the idea of them meeting up by accident during the racing season.

I talked about how I wasn't the biggest fan on how they were dumbed down after the Panda Power episode. I missed their witty and pun-tastic banter; you never knew what you had until it's gone. Well, the episodes are up on Youtube for free so it's not truly gone.

Anyway, I wanted to gush about why I think these two worked best as a duo than on their own. I love me some villain ships! Baddies that are terrible, and utter troublemakers to everyone else but sweet only to each other.

You can go AO3 from here, or read the manifesto below the cut!

Sly and Cliff do make a good couple! )

Update: Well, just as I'd feared, the kenner-mask website is down. I don't know if it will ever come back but if it does I'll update it as soon as possible. In the mean time, the link will be removed and some things will edited like paragraph lengths and rethinking on some interpretations. Seriously, it was difficult to find height requirements for the Royal Australian Air Force (or the ADF in general) because theirs was vastly different from the US's (they measure sitting height and bum to leg length [depending the aircraft] while we had height requirements [>5'4"; <6'4"]).

Oh! Also, I did some basic math as well in the manifesto.

Either way, I hope it will be an enjoyable read!

I know one of my interests is Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light, but there's something about M.A.S.K. that intrigues me. The basics are decent but there's not much to talk about because of how average it is. It drives me up the wall because it concentrates on the gadgets more than the characters; and said characters don't have super powers, they're just average people with an unique skill set. I barely remember most of the characters as they are because of it. Well, except for one.

It's Floyd Malloy that I remember the most because he's at least above average when compared to the rest of the cast. He has so many interesting personality traits that I went and wrote a whole character manifesto for the guy. I'm incredibly passionate for this one character in particular.

If you would like to read it, here's the AO3 link. You can also read it down below, too.
