I daresay Cassie's look translates to "O M G !!!"

Oh, super gift, Shelley!

What's Pickle supposed to do with an old jacket that has 80000 years of sphinx stinks in it?

[Opus the Poet]

I imagine the jacket has been cleaned, and Shelly wasn't wearing anything when she returned from the Time Forest.

Love Shelly's expression. I get it on my face occasionally when i do something that strikes the grands as Truly Neat...

BTW:



Castela at Seventeen.

From Years Ago.

No jacket, but here's a more recent pic of older Castela. Imagine this one with the jacket on.

That expression doesn't invoke just one G. I think she just woke up every deity in every pantheon recognized by humanity in the last 20,000 years.

If she lets out a SQUEEE!!!! when her vocal cords (or equivalent) start working again, they'll hear it out past Makemake.

The reason i pointed it out was as evidence that Paul plans years in advance, on some things at least.

Weird - what happened to my image in your post? the file name it used is completely different from mine, which is posted on my own web-hosting space...

Tha Uryuom on the moon will hear it.

I deleted a chunk of the website address so the image wouldn't show up. So my post wouldn't be unnecessarily long. Especially when the arts in the post right above mine. :3

They say in space no one can hear you scream, a squee from her may invalidate that statement.

[Drakkenmensch]

Coolest gift EVER.

[jwhouk]

I've got that pic around here somewhere... I think Pablo might still have it floating around on his FB page.

But yeah - that's where she got the jacket. Nice.

A matter of personal style/preference - when i do something like that, i replace the image link with something like

Code: Select all

A squee is not a scream.

Sometimes, hand-me-down is just the right thing.

Other times, not so much.

[Alkarii]

Does anyone else mentally frown at the idea of Castela using tobacco products?

Also... Do you think adult Castela will make regular visits to Punk Yoga?

[Dave]

Hmmm. I don't think she has lungs.

Do we know if she's even smoking that cigar? She might be using it as personal protection: nicotine in various forms (extract, "tea", etc.) has been used as an insecticide to protect food plants for a long time.

Blackthorn hybrids probably don't get zits when they hit puberty (no skin!)... but they might get aphids. A cigar might be Castela's equivalent to a bottle of Clearasil.

[quote="Alkarii"]Does anyone else mentally frown at the idea of Castela using tobacco products?

I would frown at smoking in my vicinity in real life, regardless of who they are.

But for fictional characters who are basically immortal? I'm willing to cut a little slack.

Besides, as I have said before in these forums, a cigar is not functionally equivalent to a cigarette (save for a few hard-core smokers).

[AmriloJim]

I'm with Thor. I do not know of anyone who chain-smokes good cigars. Some use the thing as an affectation. Those who do light up tend to savor the leaf's aromatic properties.

Now, those cheap dinky stinky things... that's a different story/

I recall a past comment about Lily's habit being tolerated as she is not of the living.

Disclaimer: lifelong non-smoker here, but I do not approve of depriving others of their pleasures, even if it is killing them.

[FreeFlier]

. . . nicotine in various forms (extract, "tea", etc.) has been used as an insecticide to protect food plants for a long time. . . .

That's the function of nicotine in the tobacco plant: poison the nibblers.

Also of a number of other biochemical compounds, such as caffeine.
