I'm getting an RX-178 Mk. 2 for the express purpose of blowing it the fuck up.
Ash Parrish (@adashtra.bsky.social) reply parent
Maybe that's why i can't fucking stand him. Meanwhile I want the Mark 2 to suffer a very rapid unscheduled disassembly with him in it.

I've never watched wing all the way through but I learned some things via osmosis. One thing I definitely latched onto was Tallgeese being my absolute favorite gundam in that show. Number one with a bullet.
Ash Parrish (@adashtra.bsky.social)
Tallgeese definitely don't skip leg day, these thighs are beefy as shit

One of the cooler Future Things we have are the gyms that have treadmills/ellipticals/bikes in movie rooms. Put on the lotr extended cut and my dumb ass would get to Grond before I even thought about being tired

We've replaced whipping out the wallet to show off our families with phone wallpapers and lock screens and I think that's neat

Well that's the new phone wallpaper. This one is kinda outdated.

Stolperstein? Oh no, we don't really need to go back that far. The picture above was taken in 1963. Living memory. My mother was three. Her still living brother and sister were 8 and 15

I'm not doing anything else special with this (I've already kind of fucked it up i think) except try some seam erasing on the legs and gun and maybe detail paint the feet and all the booster rockets.

This has worked better than my wildest imagination dude.
Ash Parrish (@adashtra.bsky.social)
I wish my camera would show this off better but on the left is an uncustomized Tallgeese arm, on the right is the arm with the trim painted gold. LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE HOLY SHIT!

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.

I should just stop ideating and a/b testing in my head and do it. Get a second camera to focus on my hands dust off the ol' twitch channel and commit to doing it.

I just went to the local Michael's and bought theirs Wish it was dual tip, but if I can transfer paint from the marker to one of my fine detail brushes I'll be alright.

OK the acrylic paint markers i bought for a test work like a dream. I plan on that being my major paint method knowing the pros airbrush.... But I also found out walmart sells home airbrush hoods for like $80....
