[cryptotheism]

In 1837, the Frenchman Charles Poyen travelled to the good old USA, which had even less scrutiny in regards to medical practices compared to europe. Animal Magnetism was even more popular in the states. Many words have been written as to why, but I venture there are more material reasons for the popularity of Mesmerism. Medicine in 1837 sucked, and Americans love a con artist. 

When homeopathy was invented in 1796, the vast majority of doctors in Europe were still following medieval doctrines of medicine. For all the innovations made by our dear friend Paracelsus, doctors often caused more harm than good. Homeopathy has no effect whatsoever, and was therefore often preferable to bloodletting and induced vomiting. Mesmerism benefited from a similar relationship. It was often more popular than institutional medicine, simply because it was not making the problem worse. That said, Mesmer wouldn’t give you cocaine.

Finally finished it RAAAAAH

Good lord I could honestly sit there for another five hours just polishing the foliage but at this point I'd rather do anything else. Tbh I originally wanted to draw just a small and kinda saucy art of this character but then I got carried away and added a bunch of details, then the dog and the colors came in and...yeah

This is what we got now

Also the SpeedPaint for this is just a total mess 😭

You want a walk through of my rendering? Nah, you get me annotating the entire map of china cuz I got an exam in 2 hours.

That Miquella consort Radahn fight was the gayest thing I've ever experienced in my life

Ok Yzma and Kronk calm down. Just let me show everyone my buff body giving this ASMR twink a piggyback ride that's normal

2. Count Ymir feeding this abomination like he's Aunt Lysa on Game of Thrones calling himself finger mother ?? what am I witnessing. Why has he got on frilly grandma underwear

3. Talking about underpants, MESMER'S THONG. Mesmer put some pants on girl

4. Redmaine Freyja being the butch lesbian representation we need

Thiollier being #5 in a gay list proves how gay this world is. It's very gay

Expressive undead faces by Gary Harrod, from BECMI D&D supplement AC09: Creature Catalogue, TSR, 1986

Topi: "Topis are more agile than normal zombies. Before these creatures are animated, the corpses are shrunk until they are only 2 feet tall, giving them dark, wrinkled, leathery skin."

Mesmer: "This undead wraith-like creature lives on the ocean floor in a series of spiralling tunnels, constructed as a magically hypnotic pattern. The insatiably hungry mesmer waits at the centre of the pattern, dining on its victims."

Death Leech: "In its natural form, a death leech looks like a large flat, translucent amoeba that shimmers with a variety of pale colours. The death leech can polymorph itself to appear as any undead (of vampire strength or weaker) that has a physical form."

Elaine Frostnight, Charr Chronomancer Yeeeeeah she used to be a necro - but Harbinger didn't work out for me and having a second Reaper or Scourge wasn't really an option for me. I did enjoy the mesmer spear a few months ago, so I gave it a try, and I love it! It has a nice "flow" and is shinyyy (the skritt in me likes that)
