Any tropical islands on theia??

Yes!! There's many across Theia, and maybe one day I'll have a full world map to elaborate on, but for now I can tell you about the ones localized around Stolla.

Also I hope you're ready for lore beyond their climates heehee.

There's a lot of islands littered around Stolla but the ones with tropical-like climates hang out on the south-eastern half of Stolla, which harbors the warmest and most humid climate out of the 5 vertices of the continent.

This cluster of eyots by the mouth of the Splitriver are the truest of tropical islands within Stolla. A couple are accessible via a local port, which mainly host small, low-denisty villages. Many of these eyots however are nautically inaccessible due to sheer cliff faces, or are too thick with growth & inhospitable to most humanoids of the region.

During cooler times of the year these islands are nearly always shrouded in a dense and humid fog kept in place by the cooler ocean waters below.

The sands surrounding the lower and more accessible islands are a glittery cyan color, a noteable feature almost exclusively seen along the coasts of the Irrandiant Gulf, so they're quite the spectacle for western & mid Stolla inhabitants!

Speaking of the Irradiant Gulf, all other tropical like islands sit in this gulf's surrounding waters. These very large islands are more sub-tropic, a little further away from the equator. They are still just as humid, and despite how I lazily colored in the vegetation on this map, much of the jungle within these islands actually glow and glitter vibrantly in a range of cool colors from sea-green to indigo.

The two largest islands are populated heavily along their coasts, but very few people live far inland. The largest of the islands exports many unique and unusual magical goods and ingredients to the rest of Stolla.

And finally these two small islands in the outer center of the gulf have a somewhat sub-tropical climate, but are notably less rainy and have colder winters. Any island more northern than these in this area begins to reach more temperate climates.

These islands are home to chiefdoms of Payans and Garbeators that reject trade and much contact with the rest of Stolla. Though nobody knows how they exist, these islands happen to be right on top of an ancient meteor impact site, the same one that created the gulf, and caused the great flooding of it's surrounding provinces. Also the one that brought all that glittery magic to the world in the first place ^_^.

The islands sport several sheer rock formations of varying heights laced with colorful crystals that influence the growth and behaviors of all life within their surrounding area. Many living things from these islands beyond Payans and Garbeators have more than two eyes, for reasons yet to be understood.

~☆~☆~☆~

As I mentioned previously, there are many more tropical and sub-tropical islands in the world of Theia, these are just the more relevant ones to the story-focused part of the world.

It was quite worrying walking down the main shopping streets of my city during pride and seeing that barely any of them have any pride flags or anything in the window. Rainbow capitalism will not save us but it is so unnerving when even last year most shops had some kind of bunting in the window and this year it was only three or four. Like idk it feels emblematic of a worsening or idk souring attitude towards queer people that is definitely influenced by rampant transphobia in the uk. Which is why it’s so upsetting when cis queer people join in on transphobia in hopes of distancing themselves from the current social and political undesirability of transness.

hey man. i'm just saying. why would we put inexperienced teenagers with over-inflated egos and obvious emotional issues into combat classes and make them claw their way to the top of their dorms and expect things to just run smoothly. who actually thought this

[barksbog]

anyways you can´t run any kind of business without it inherintly being "political". every kind of production has ethics and politics involved with it.

This is random but sometimes whenever I post my projects here like the laminate keychains, laminate stands and the button keychains. I've seen some people saying something like they want to buy it, and I'll be glad to sell em but I don't know how.

Talked to my dad about it, he said I could open up like an ebay and I could sell it there. Don't know when is that going to become true, but I hope I could sell them to you guys one day :D

If you want to hear something really wild I’m pretty sure my cousin doesn’t get any PTO or benefits (including health insurance!!!) at her full-time job. Which like. I would say is completely wrong (and it is lmao) but she could totally work somewhere else if she wanted to, but she likes the ~vibes~ of this place and thinks they’re good people (it’s a really small, new business). They brought cake for everyone once which my cousin thought was great and I said “I’d rather have insurance than cake” 🤦‍♀️. I wasn’t popular for that one. Anyway that’s my rant lol

this is a reply to something I reblogged several weeks ago but I forgot to respond. anyway yea the job market in the US is appalling in many ways. no PTO for full time is horrendous even by our standards though. I hope she gets out of there

per the post from doubleca5t about LBGTs that serve cunt on the regular and how they could style other gays: a small sample of outfits from the past year (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠) they/them

[herrscherofmagic]

another WIP!

anyways, when I was going into Part 2, I was not expecting a bunch of generic-model NPCs (albeit very pretty ones) to end up being some of my favorite characters of the story

I'd do anything to protect these silly little goobers!!!!

THEY'RE SO ADORABLE!!!!

[gal-o-guacamole]

Thank you and welcome to new people! As a little teaser, im working on well... lets just say... some ultrakill stuff that (if everything goes well) might make it to being merch. So if you are interested, stay tuned for the updates because i will probably open the preorders on the first batch in a month or so!

Fingers crossed and thanks again for your support!

P.S. My commissions are open and it would help to fund the production of the first batch! You can also donate through Ko-Fi. Thank you!

Fun fact: If you have a visual type project that requires rope that looks Nice (like, hanging a banner on the front of a colorful con table perhaps), shibari ropes are strong, durable, easy to work with, and come in any color you could ever possibly need. They're also washable so the dye won't come off on other materials, and a lot of shops will cut them to custom lengths!

Nobody (who doesn't also participate in these activities themself lmao) will ever know and you can get all the cool colorful rope you want for any project forever tell your friends

Still alive btw 💕 I want to get back into writing so bad. I still love the ship. And marvel is still my special interest. Life is just kicking my ass when it comes to time/energy to write 😭

But like. I know I CAN. I wrote more than 2k words just on the au lore for a character lol

Helpppppoo

[haunted-xander]

You ever look at ARR and go wow absolutely none of the Archons were done any justice at all

[bluebelleisabelle]

You know how some people hear a word that triggers a phrase or long sentence in their mind? Like "crazy".

Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a rubber room. A rubber room with rats. The rats made me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once...

And so on and so forth.

I've realized I have one. And it's a little more obscure 💀

If I hear anyone say just the word "chicken" -- like, no sentence attached, my brain is immediately forced to think of nothing but

ALL OUR FOOD KEEPS BLOWING UP !!

my humor is dead 💀
