self-power and other-power (poetry)
All the rows of Bidenweed.
sticks to dog fur
Bidenweed seeds that are hard to get rid of.
This is along the riverbed and along the railway
It's rampant.
For two years until last year
I used to look for free time and exterminate them
But there is a stupid old man
He was carefully scattering the seeds with a stick.
Perhaps because of that, this year is all about
became prevalent.
Even in the sense of disturbing the ecosystem
It's troublesome grass.
I've been trying to grow this grass on my own.
I've been standing up Already the limit.
I gave up on any acceptable solution.
There is no choice but to rely on other power.

自力と他力
犬の被毛にくっ付き
なかなか取れないアメリカセンダングサの種。
これが河原沿い・鉄道沿いに
蔓延っている。
私は昨年までの2年間
ヒマを見繕ってはそれらを駆除していた
ところがバカなおっさんがいて
ご丁寧に棒でタネをまき散らかしていた。
それがあってか今年は一面に
蔓延るようになった。
生態系を乱すという意味でも
困った草だ。
私はこれまで自力でこの草に
立ち向かってきたが。もう限界。
納得できる解決法について諦めた。
他力に頼る他なし。

Mystra showed him the secrets beneath the veils. The gossamer veils first, draped across the Weave. The delicate veils next, draped across her body. 'Chosen One' she whispered, as she slipped them off completely.
poor gale :'(
- the dialogue is from ea gale's explanation about his folly
- i kinda like that she ended up looking like a mother-of-pearl inlay lacquerware!
- oh this was a subconscious choice, but Gale is sitting in seiza which is a posture for showing respect especially to elders. it's also known to be a painful position to sit in for extended periods of time, which is why it was sometimes used as a method of (morally dubious) punishment. however, experienced people can maintain this posture for much longer. food for thought :-)
- (edit: deleted this point bcs it didn't really make sense + detracted from the art a little;;)

Broke: vampires are vulnerable to the trappings of Christianity only, particularly Catholicism, no matter how dubiously applied. (See: Van Helsing's Communion wafer grouting).
Woke: vampires are vulnerable to sincere faith of all kinds, and atheist vampire-hunters need to believe very strongly in the Power of Friendship or their love of Star Trek to get by.
Bespoke: vampires are vulnerable to the faith that they followed when they were alive, and hunters tracking down an ancient vampire are obliged to learn about Neo-Babylonian theology or Middle Palaeolithic bear cults.

"Astarion bad because he doesn't wanna help the tieflings / grove" imagine you've just escaped a crashing alien ship and the first level 1 adventurer you meet tells you "we gonna go save some people you don't know, 4 of us vs like 50 goblins, you in?" girl I would quit the party right there

nothing makes me more insane than the phrase "selling your body" btw. like was i not also selling my body at every other job i've had where i had to be on my feet all day, lifting boxes, working in a warehouse, etc. why is it that sex work is uniquely labeled as "selling your body" while every other job is sorted into another category, no matter how much that job might have a physical impact on your body. lmao.

Do any of you ever wonder if Camp Half-Blood accidentally brought in a demigod of a different pantheon before?
This would be especially hilarious if it happens sometime after The Last Olympian/Heroes of Olympus, where the gods are required to claim their kids quickly.
A whole day passes, and the new demigod needs to sleep in the Hermes Cabin and Percy is furious. Meanwhile, the Greek Gods are pointing at each other and shouting, contacting the most obscure of mini gods. Chaos erupts on Olympus as every deity in Greek Mythology is called upon and interrogated. Hermes hasn't run around so much in centuries.
Hecate sits in silence, fully aware of what's happening, but enjoying the show too much to intervene.
