blurgh!! i can't seem to make art properly after releasing cavern of dreams. every time i try to start on a new project i can't figure out how to continue it. i want to make stuff but it always feels wrong or like a waste of time, and i can't seem to find inspiration. very frustrated
u guys know those “giving my Italian husband (x) food/(x) American thing” tik toks. well yeah Hetalia Prumano semi-rare pair attack
my friend and I have been. Obsessed with those. Why does she. Why. It’s like aggravating a chihuahua for views and it’s the most entertainment. Tbh. This art looks SO shitty but the Prumano brain rot is too real for me… Also I saw the pizza burger irl the other day and I don’t wanna talk about it
Hey I accidentally projected my oc into my friends mind so hard he dreamed he was her and saw through her eyes perfectly. Did my oc just switch custody to my friend? How do I get her back? Do we have to have a psychic battle?
hi! I'll be starting my first campaign soon, and I was wondering if you have a solitary piece of advice for a new long term DM?
absolutely! If I have to pick one single piece of advice, I’d say get the players to do the work for you. By this I mean have them be connected to each other before the story even starts (for example, having a Warlock’s patron be an old friend (or enemy) of another player. Or having a Wizard’s mentor be another player’s idol). If you can’t do that, then try to give the players opportunities to role play amongst themselves, either by laying a puzzle out in front of them or just not interrupting them when they start talking. Being a DM is tough, so let yourself have a break if the players provide one.
Here’s some other bits of advice tho (and these are general):
Don’t overthink it. Yes, preparation is good, but you don’t have to prepare for every little thing or check.
Be prepared to let the players fail. Sometimes they’ll miss an important piece, and that just is what it is.
Over describe things. Describing too many details can create some fun red herrings for players, so add some silly things.
Make players roll. Having players roll for things takes the blame off of the DM and also leaves lots of things up to chance.
Don’t stress too much. Your players will have fun as long as you’re making any effort at all. Don’t stress about every little thing, it’ll all work out.
following on from mentioning prints of catppell, if i were to do prints of my artwork would anyone actually want that or be interested in that, or also thinking abt commissions (either of stuff like the cats or general art/fanart)
nothing actually being planned as of yet but considering it so general interest check <3
question for fellow gifmakers who use a macbook: what software are you using to screencap 1080p files now that the older version of mpv (that doesn't duplicate/skip frames) is no longer compatible with macos sonoma?
uhhh while i was on vacation my fish were overfed and one of them fucking died. i was gone for four days. any advice on how to help the other two? (they are extremely extremely bloated, there is a layer of food on the bottom of the tank and also a mostly decomposed fish body.) i haven’t started cleaning yet bc my dad was going to help but he’s out for probably a couple hours and i’m thinking the sooner i clean the tank the better.
