A beautiful update. Loving the new look.

New year, new sona.

Well, more like update to my sona. I really needed to update her to bring her closer to myself. It feels refreshing actually.

These are beautiful. Perfect inspiration for a DM.

This looks so cute!

Was curious to try drawing a more realistic version of Pikachu for the hell of it.

This is so cute. And it’s so pretty.

Felt like doing something picture book like.

Take it from the biochemist who used to work with vaccines:

1. Some vaccines will keep you from getting sick: measles, mumps, rubella, etc.

2. Some vaccines won't keep you from getting sick, but it will keep you from dying: COVID, flu, etc.

3. Some people can't get vaccines, or vaccines don't work for them. They are a tiny percentage of the population.

4. Side effects from vaccines are normal.

5. mRNA vaccine technology has been around for 20 years. It's not *that* new.

6. Vaccine cards have been around for a very long time. You'd know that if you traveled to certain countries, or looked it up on Google.

7. I'm getting tired of saying all this stuff to people. At this point, I don't give a flying fuck what you believe, grow the fuck up and just get your fucking vaccine and/or booster shot. But if you insist on being a selfish asshole, stay the fuck away from me.

Still love this. Commissioned this a couple of months back at the end of the campaign. I always told myself that I would share the story, so here it is.

Joined late with Lorna Stormborn, a mercenary sorceress with the powers of the primordial storm, with her friend and contracted person of interest, Lexius Leye. They joined Borhan Thearervier, a Paladin of Tyr and the leader of a severely broken team, on his quest to stop a newly arisen god of chaos, Ouldnear.

They met Borhan at his lowest; many friends and comrades dead, having died himself and been brought back to life to continue the fight, and just generally losing all hope for victory. The newcomers helped bring hope back to Borhan; and between him and Lorna, sparks began to fly.

Amongst all the tragedy and the weight of duty that he carried, Borhan could be human with Lorna, a person with fears and desires, and not the unflinching symbol of hope that the town needed him to be. He found someone who cared for him, not his position or reputation, and with whom he could imagine a life with, after his task was done. She became his reason to survive the battles.

Long used to being the needless sacrifice, Lorna was valued by Borhan, beyond what she brought to the battlefield. Despite expecting rejection and abandonment, she found someone who respected and accepted her, and she dared to believe that she could be with him. He became her reason to stay.

After a siege that the town was beginning to lose, a parley was offered and taken. A tournament was offered, a final combat, the deciding trial, and an end to the bloodshed. It was agreed upon, with time for recouperation, though the party was uneasy and expected a trick. The day before the tournament was to begin, Lorna asked for a private audience with Ouldnear. Borhan doubted any success would come from the meeting, but knew he couldn’t stop her.

Lorna met with the god, and they spoke for a while. She showed compassion for his plight and that of his followers, sympathy for his pains and the difficult journey he had taken over centuries to where he was now, and asked him of goals. For he longed to travel back to the beginning of time and forge the universe anew and better than it was now, where good people suffered less. She did not brand him mad, but asked him questions, what plans he had were he to fail, and whether he truly wanted to risk the good people in universe, whether they were his followers or not. In the end, she persuaded him to give up his grand scheme and to help the people build this better, gentler world, letting the people change by choice not force.

And so Ouldnear was judged by the established gods and entered into their number, though under a new, unsullied name.

The battles over, the quest complete, Lorna and Borhan retired from the adventuring life and settled down together. They had two children and lived a quiet and peaceful life in the town they had defended. But, every so often, they would use Lorna’s magic to go out onto the water and dance, like they had the night after everything ended and the world had been saved.

Happy New Years!

Farewell 2020, you’ve been terrible.

[lnicol1990]

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it. Happy holidays to all who don’t.

Hope you all stay safe and have a good day.

hey there LGBTQ kids who are also Christian/Jewish! If you feel like you’re disobeying God, questioning your faith, or feel wrong and dirty for loving who you love, there’s this fantastic site I found today called hoperemains that accurately and thoroughly combs through scripture and its (many) mistranslations, validates your orientation, and basically let’s you know that you’re not pissing off God. It’s insanely thorough and after reading through every page on the entire site it’s super helpful. Go check it out!

Hello! It’s been quite a while since I posted art here, huh? Well! Truth is, I have had a year long burn out, but recently I watched Mark’s LP of There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension and I have grown so fond of this game that I just had to do something for it and it gave me the motivation I needed! Of course, it probably was a bit hard on my wrist after so much time without drawing anything XD

Anyways, this game (sorry, NON-game), is charming, and funny and lighthearted and honestly, I feel like it´s perfect if you just want to have a nice time! Also it´s freaking gorgeous! I hope you guys like it! I’m really happy with how it turned out!

You’re a daycare worker, watching over toddlers, when the imminent end of the world is announced. It becomes increasingly clear none of the kids’ parents are going to show up as the end inches nearer.

Aerdeth, my elf ranger, for pose and burn scar practice. Here’s the ref image I used for the pose

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

Just wanted to make a quick, public shout-out to @dagnadraws for doing such a wonderful job on my commission. Thank you so much for my month-early birthday present.

And also, thank you @dewydd for reblogging her commission info. If you hadn’t, I wouldn’t have such a lovely picture of my D&D character.
