See normally I'm a "live and let live and don't bitch about things I don't like in public" kinda girl but watching Andor s2 and being like "wow, underneath all the fancy sets and overpolished dialogue this show REALLY hates women of color and is WILDLY homophobic" to a degree that made me ragequit partway through, and then not being able to go anywhere online without seeing Dudes(TM) fawning over how Andor is the Only Good Star Wars and the Most Important Show Ever Made was. Really designed in a lab to make me black out with rage any time I think about it too hard.

With all due respect. I'm gonna milk you.

You're gonna milk me? Squeeze my fat udders until the milkies dribble out in thick fat globs? Until the river of my teats flow like the Euphrates down the fertile valleys of my breasts? And you're going to collect my milk? Collect it in a jar? Collect my milk in your milk jar and store it in the fridge and use it in your cereal as part of a balanced and nutritious breakfast? Huh? Is that what you're going to do? You horny milk drinker?

if i had a nickel for every time i read a historical fantasy series about a world with dragons that followed a Georgian/Victorian era English protagonist where each book in the series focused on a different geographical part of the world and ultimately featured the protagonist struggling to follow their own code of honor against a global political conflict

i’d have two nickels

Okay, so we all know the real reason for the vampires-versus-werewolves thing in popular culture is because back in the 1930s, the same studio owned the movie rights to Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman, and they decided to moosh them all together into what is arguably the first Big Stupid Cinematic Universe, but what's slightly less well known is that H G Wells' The Invisible Man was also part of that package. I want to see what the goofy we-swear-it's-personal-horror tabletop RPG based on that facet of the mythos looks like, weirdly artificial taxonomies of playable splats and all – everybody's invisible, but there are like five completely different possible reasons for that, plus a sixth, evil reason for being invisible which you're not allowed to play as because they secretly rule the world.

For now, enjoy a Hawks Harpy design for no reason, no reason at all ;) he's based on gannet, one of those deep diving birds.

ppl talk about the difficulty of writing characters smarter than yourself, but the real challenge is writing a character who is funnier than you are

The final boss of “learning social skills” is seeing someone online say something about a special interest of yours that’d be the literal perfect opportunity for you to talk about it but deciding not to do it because the person made the comment so long ago it’d be kind of weird to reply now. If you can restrain yourself, you’ll be awarded the “King of Acting Normal” prize on national television by the president. Or so I’m told.

When I drew it I was thinking 'See no evil, speak no evil'

Asidian wrote an amazing story to go along with this!

Here is Archery Nerd fact #3! Something that the game actually does inaccuratly, unfortunatly.

So, when you draw a bow - you should never grip the handle. You're actually supposed to let it rest in your purlicue (the skin bit between your thumb and forefinger) and keep your hand open, letting the arrow rest on your pointing finger to aim and keep it straight.

"Oh, but won't the bow just....fall out of your hand when you release the shot???" - Yes!!! It is actually supposed to do that. Many archers wear a little strap around their wrist to catch it as it falls - but if you have good reflexes, you can just grab it.

But why can't you grip the handle? Well - because the force when you release the string will cause your grip to shake, and the shot will be skewed.

Anyway - here is a super rough reference for any artists wanting to draw the bird bois shooting accuratly!
