Thinkin' about... custom solatorobo portrait shots of Basil and Elise... why? idk, because

@jahtnamas Bowser has never squared up quite that much before or ever since. It's like he was ready to take on a whole invading force, not a guy from Brooklyn

Uspol 

@mos_8502 I think I'd settle for "have him imprisoned for his crimes, his supreme court picks ousted, and his followers all put on watchlists" but you know, if he wants to keep it simple I can't blame him, occam's razor n' all that

Learned about a really neat font that's designed for Dyslexic readers.

Unlike more traditional dyslexic fonts like OpenDyslexic or Comic Sans, this one was designed to be legible for dyslexics **and** compatible for professional design contexts.

It also has multiple character variants and 6(!!!) variable axes to enable people to fine tune the ways that letter forms can be distinguished from each other.

...heck with it, LTB world spoilers (not directly relevant to Solatorobo's story tho) 

@Okesska So Elise's mom was a hardcore, hotshot, chewbone-munching relic hunter that came from Northern Prairie! In the course of her digs, she encountered a sleeping guardian of a relic site, a wolf tribe caninu with his own robot, and they fought. She won and plundered the site, but she helped him adjust to the modern world, and they ended up dating for a time until he vanished one day to look for his people. At that point, he was the only guy who didn't balk at her chewbone habit and still flaked out, so she decided she'd stick to dating other women, but she had to stop and settle down anyway because she had Elise.

This wolf heritage in Elise and the augmentations to her robot led to her having a trance-like werewolf state when under extreme stress, and her Faust sympathetically enters a high-performance mode that she can channel her wolf magic through

@Okesska There are a few other elements to her backstory, but they reference vaguely spoilery elements of the LTB world so idk if you'd be interested in that o:

@Okesska So my idea is a golden collie caninu by the name of Elise Banket. She's a robot mechanic who uses her finances to support her ex-relic hunter mother. She inherited her mom's robot, a old Faust model from the days of the Incantation Wars that's been restored and customized with secondhand parts and some of the relics she found during her adventures.

Design-wise I haven't thought too hard about it yet, I was thinking something based on the coveralls the labourers in the Shepherd Republic wear, but with the top undone and the jacket tied around her waist, so she's just got a white tanktop and the gloves on, and she probably has her hair in a ponytail

It's quickly becoming apparent that this is a two-for-one OC package with how hardcore her mom is becoming as I think about her backstory

@Okesska sure, will send them to you later when it's not too hot to use a computer c:

Help I made another little tail bronx OC

I'd doodle her but it's way too warm to even think rn

paradox, might stun robots 

@Grat10berg Pointer logic can defeat that last one if your robot girl's a programmer, be forewarned

I have been sending out this resource all year, but I'll send it out again. From the US Department of Energy:

Creating a Cool Room for Extreme Heat Events

"Given the reality of global climate change and the increasing likelihood of extreme heat events, designing and retrofitting homes for resistance to extreme heat and power outages should be considered in all climates. Extending the "hours of safety" that a home can provide when air-conditioning is not available can be life-saving...."

foxgirl nonsense 

Before adopting a fediverse foxgirl, ask yourself the following questions:

"Can I give her all the love she needs?"

"Do I live in a good space to offer her enrichment?"

"What's that in her mouth?"

"Drop it."

"DROP IT!"

"Don't run off into the kitchen with it, drop it!"
