I love having a pet story project! I have over 150 images I’ve been slowly iterating and working on over the past two years that illustrate a whole bunch of epic and heart breaking scenes from the dnd game I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of. Been using the campaign as inspo for bi weekly art practice.
Do I share them here? On Cara? Don’t like insta’s new ai training bs that I can’t opt out of as an Aussie.
I’m having a blast trying to draw at least one scene or moment after every sessions- would love to share them somewhere. Do I start a fresh page to keep them all together?
A line up of the party! Haha guess which one is my character?
(And a sneak peak of a small selection of some of the shenanigans this Twilight Aegis gets up to)
“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
— Vincent Van Gogh
“If I am worth anything later, I am worth
something now. For wheat is wheat, even if people think it is a grass in
the beginning.”
sometimes i wonder if we have forgotten that sharing creative work is, fundamentally, a bid for human connection. like I’m not posting art or fic for ‘engagement’ i’m posting it looking for other sickos to play with! i’d be making it anyway for my own gratification because there’s something wrong with me, i’m sharing it hoping we can have something wrong with us together <3
remember when you were 10 and you would hang out with your friends in order to Look At The Computer together like you went to their house and experienced the information superhighway together. and then leave
How fucking old are you people?
normal amount
You see, there used to be a time (not all that long ago) when being offline was the default. And going online was the rare and wonderful thing that we (briefly) enjoyed.
It even came with happy modem noises.
They weren’t happy noises.
They were polite and reasonable noises! The sound of protocol being followed! Negotiation and compromise!
The box would scream
It sounds like screaming, but actually it’s a mating call.
I like the idea in fantasy that humans are better at maintaining things long term because they set up societies or professions to do it whereas dwarves and elves and stuff are like “just get bob to do it he’s got a good few hundred years left” and then bob doesn’t teach anyone else how to do it
Elf: How have you kept this castle maintained for a thousand years if your lives are so short?
Human: We just train new people how to do it?
Elf: *gears visibly turning in their head*
Human: Are you alright?
Elf: I just realized that we didn’t have to let that whole city fall to ruin just because my grandfather died.
Human: What?
Human: Wait that’s why there’s ruins of elven cities even though you live for so long? You just keep not asking people how to do things? How do you learn anything?
Elf: There’s a lot of “you’ve got time to figure it out on your own” attitudes floating around in our society that I’m starting to question somewhat.
If you don’t already know you have issues doing so, squat down real quick. Bend your knees all the way and touch the floor. Just make sure you can do it. Okay? For me? And then stand up all the way and make sure you can balance on one foot.
Like. You don’t need to blow it into some huge thing. Just. Make sure all your bits and peices still work the way you think they do.
Can you turn your head to look behind you without twisting your shoulders? What about standing on your toes? If you sit down on the floor can you get back up without using your hands?
If there was ever a tumblr post worth sending to your mom, it’s this one.
Just saying, bodies are a use it or lose it kinda thing.
okay so every time I see this post crop back up in queues and notifications I end up thinking about it. Because I made the post and even I’m still doing the thing where I read the post about maintaining range of motion in my delicate meatsuit and I nod and hmm and think yeah that’s a good idea and then dont move from where I’m curled up shrimp style staring at the nightmare rectangle.
So like. Thinking real hard about moving doesn’t count as moving. Major bummer. Anyways. Joints.
