Inadvisable tabletop RPG premise #137: Fantasy setting where wizard towers have approximately the same role and cultural significance as Cold War nuclear missile silos. It’s impossible to really hide the fact that you’re casting a high-level spell, and extremely difficult to defend against one, so all of the world’s greatest wizards are locked in a mutually assured destruction scenario; the moment any one of them tries to perform a world-shaping act of magic, all of the other great wizards will smell it and immediately respond by casting Fuck That Guy In Particular.
The setting otherwise superficially resembles a perfectly standard Generic Fantasy Setting, though any close examination will rapidly reveal how deeply its culture is informed by the looming knowledge that the world is perpetually one wizardly temper tantrum away from total annihilation, and the extent to which the conspicuous Generic Fantasy atmosphere is a deliberately constructed facade of business-as-usual over a howling void of nihilistic uncertainty.

you know, an interpretation of ct that I don't see that I personally really love is that she's a fuck up. like yes she's cool and she has some good fight scenes, but a huge part of her character is that she makes mistakes. the mistakes that she makes are ones that on their own aren't the end of the world, but she keeps making these little mistakes, and they eventually add up until she's out of room to make any more.
a really good example of this phenomenon in action is the actions she took leading up to her final confrontation with carolina and tex.
strike one, she thought she saw something in the water, but when asked by the leader what it was, she brushed it off as nothing when even if it had been nothing, it would've been smart to tell him what she thought she saw.
strike two, she didn't sense or notice florida's presence when the leader did, and she looks at the leader twice, once as she pulled out her magnums, and again after she did a scan of the room, almost like she was looking at him for guidance before he finds florida and takes him out with one good axe throw.
strike three, she couldn't convince the leader to leave when they had the chance to get away, and her cheap tricks were not enough to hold off either tex or carolina in a fight. they were only good for incapacitating her opponents enough for her to get away, which doesn't work when she has no escape.
ct is not tex, or carolina, or south. she is not a one woman army who can get herself out of trouble when she's stuck in tough situations. she needs people who can watch her back, she need a team who can cover her when she does mess up, and the leader and his team were not those people. she couldn't bring herself to trust them, and they couldn't bring themselves to trust her, and that cost all of them their lives.

Christmas Morning - rp open to all
It wasn't the 6th of January ... but his family was never this traditional to feast on the day of the arrival of the three kings.
Instead, they used the tradition of the United Kingdom and opened their present on the morning of the 25th December.
His family was long dead and buried. Nevertheless, he set the christmas tree up for a momentary illusion of peace and happiness.
All of his employees, scientists, laboratory assistants, gardeners, and bodyguards were allowed to attend. Mullet wine, food, and sweets will be shared. It was a morning of calm and peace for Lyutsifer, without a thought of bacteria, viruses, or dead.

Alright, I was chatting to a friend about James Bond because I was doing a sort of study on him for Art GCSE (long story) and we got joking about how we’d remake it.
They suggested that the only correct way would be to have the six of them as magical girls with their own colours and sparkly guns. I of course, as the resident person who doubles down and draws blursed shit, had to draw this.
I’m only halfway through, but I hope the target audience for this exists?
I’m titling this ‘007: License to Slay’ as a friend of mine suggested lmao. I think this is the best thing I’ve ever drawn personally. Can’t wait to do Dalton, Brosnan and Craig.
Just bear with me alright I’m not super familiar with magical girls as a concept and I predominantly draw more masculine costumes and clothing.
(Enjoy some bonus sketches explaining what I think their personalities would be lmao)
Basically just tried to extract the most salvageable and unique/distinct characteristics of each Bond. Pierce Brosnan doesn’t get one (yet) because I’ve never seen one of his movies and Daniel Craig doesn’t yet because I’ve drawn too many sad men drinking recently.
I know this is cursed don’t expect anything better from me like ever. Enjoy some final images of Roger Moore as compensation for your time here (not kidding when I say this man is absolutely feral).
If you want me to elaborate on this at any point please tell me it occupies too many of my thoughts as of late.

James Bond and Vesper Lynd ♠️♦️[Casino Royale, Ian Fleming]
07/05/2024
I read Casino Royale and it completely destroyed me even tho I knew what was about to happen from watching the movie 😭 I was completely hook on the book just because of their relationship.
Btw, I didn't expect James Bond to be this different from Daniel Craig, but I also couldn't picture any of the James Bond actors as James Bond. Maybe Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan a bit. Eva Green was perfect for Vesper tho ❤️
