If you build it, they will come.

If you like frogs. Or possums. Or cool builds. Or happiness. This is the video for you.

Odysseus: Hello! I’m here to offer my hand in marriage to Helen.

Leta: Welcome to Sparta! This is my daughter Helen, world famous for her beauty. And this is my creepy arts and crafts niece, Penelope.

Penelope: *hisses*

Odysseus: …

Odysseus: Change of plans. I want the weird girl.

Calypso: You have to make a choice. It’s either your wife or-

Odysseus: My wife.

Calypso: you didn’t let me finish.

Odysseus: I’m so sorry goddess, please continue.

Calypso: Its either your wi-

Odysseus: My wife.

Calypso: Either yo-

Odysseus: My wife.

Calypso:…

Odysseus: That last one was genuinely unintentional.

PLEASE LISTEN TO EPIC: THE MUSICAL IF YOU LOVE GREEK MYTHOLOGY OR THE ILLIAD AND THE ODYSSEY.

Penelope: I had the weirdest dream last night. An eagle swooped down from the heavens and killed 20 geese.

Odysseus, disguised as a beggar: Well, fair queen, clearly this means that your husband is coming home and will kill your suitors.

Penelope: If only there was a way to tell the eagle to hurry the fuck up.

Odysseus:

Penelope: *dumps a bunch of weapons at Odysseus’s feet*

Penelope: Clumsy me

All of this is valid.

Editing? Oh you mean fic patching.

In a world where genies are commonplace and delight in granting wishes in the most inconvenient way possible, you are a defense attorney who must defend your client, a well-meaning genie who is charged with felonious wish-granting.

It's my favorite, your honor.

I’ve only known Smoliv for a few hours yet I would kill for this creature

Elf video games: 300 hour jrpgs with legions of characters and several novels worth of text. Labrynthine upgrade trees and customization options. The most insufferably unintuitive UI possible. A single turn based battle can take hours. Every character has an ennui stat.

Dwarf video games: Basebuilding strategy FPSs that has a whole wiki page on the flexile vs tensile strengths of different building materials. Dwarven rhythm games have minigames where you have to manage supply lines. Mortals cannot comprehend dwarven grand strategy games.

Halfling video games: What appears on the surface to be a viscerally calming farming sim is actually an extraordinarily complex social combat game about cutthroat HOA politics.

Goblin video games: Wildly unbalanced collectathon gatchas where half the fun is finding new hilariously broken strategies. Zany uberviolent team shooters about bugs. MOBAs so bad it's almost art.

Orc video games: Addictive in-browser flash games with names like "Beast Crush 4" and "Borag Meat Game." The art is always kinda bad but in a charming way. The music always slaps.

cooking recipies: if you wanna throw in some salsa, you can go ahead and do that. Replace the chicken with cauliflower, use ketchup to make a soup base, I don't give a shit. Feel free to do whatever you want.

baking recipies: take one insolent step from the righteous path and you have doomed yourself, your kitchen, and your entire bloodline.

[Fic Post]: Familiar in Feline Shape

Surprise! I posted a new Critical Role story. :) It's about Caleb's collection of cat figurines, referenced in episode 2x77. Enjoy!

Title: Familiar in Feline Shape Fandom: Critical Role Summary: Caleb collects symbols of affection throughout his life, all in a familiar shape.

I love this for two reasons: 1) it would be awesome to have a sentient plant with an accessibility device on a starship, 2) from a meta standpoint, the brilliance of having a literal (non-sentient) plant as an actor/character who audiences WOULD attach to and create stories for and care about...it's just, the height of human storytelling, and I mean that in a non-ironic way.

I don't watch Star Trek but I've talked it over with some Star Treks and I think the next Star Trek crew member should be a potted plant. Just a weird looking little succulent or w/e in a pot, with wheels and a hawkings-style voice synth. Their badge or whatever can be a lil tree ornament. Low budget, no actor required character that will be instantly iconic. Whoever owns Star Trek write me a goddamn check.

I recommend Fascinating Horror. :)

I love watching documentaries about amusement park accidents because all of the park officials are saying, "Oh, dear god, none of us could have anticipated that the roller coaster car would detach, this is a freak accident, an act of god!" and then the narrator is like "The Dicktwister 9000 was a known safety hazard and rabies vector since its inception. It was designed by disgraced Cirque du Soleil clown John Roosters, who had never seen a math textbook."

Sokka and Zuko both have high intelligence and low wisdom and the only difference is that Sokka has high Charisma. In this essay I will-

Hm. I don't think people can see this unless I post instead of just reblog, but, to be clear, these are not mine. @mjlor-chan is the original artist (here's the post), but her floofy birb Grian deserved line art and some color. Please support the original artist!

[flightofstars]

I love these floofy Grians so much I added line art and colored them like coloring book pages (it was really fun, for the record). All credit to the original artist @mjlor-chann. Mjlor-chan, these are a gift for you. I hope you like them (and don't mind me playing with your artwork).

I’m sure there are many types I missed on this list, but I was overcome with a sudden and terrible need to compare DMs to the OTHER kinds of world-builders. 

Now it’s your turn! GMs - what would YOUR tank/terrarium look like?
