Ship: Dedra/Syril/Krennic

AU setting: A Zealous Man universe

Castle Krennic had looked imposing as they approached it, cutting into the sky like a shard of bonfire-blackened bone - but now they are beyond its great doors the place is strangely inviting, with finely-carved chairs draped in sumptuous furs and silks, and the smell of amber and cloves filling the air. The self-made Lord Krennic greets them with equal warmth - his voice honeyed, his servants close at hand to offer welcome cups of sweet, spiced wine. He declares himself at their command, and with that the Lady Meero and the Reverend Karn are ushered into the North Hall, where supper has already been set out - neither of them notice the pentacle scratched over the doorway.

i'm gonna be stuck in queue for A WHILE, in the mean time. anyone got any opinions on the new alpha content?

Today we are opening Alpha to test a new feature that we are planning to add very soon. This feature allows players to extract active abilities from items and transfuse them to other items. This means you will be able to place any ability of your choosing on any item (mostly weapons) of your choice, although certain restrictions will apply.

Gotta love seeing concrete proof of liberal brainrot.

So, I use BlueSky a decent amount. It's kinda Twitter-like in function, but instead of algorithmic bullshit that actively pushes white supremacist content, it's an open-source platform that lets you curate your own feed - it's kinda like Tumblr in that latter respect, actually - that has a lot of really cool trans people on it. Overall, it's a great place, and my boyfriend enjoys it a lot too since it's NSFW friendly and he's an NSFW artist. And I just had my first experience of being knowingly blocked on there!

Essentially, someone I follow was responding to a post of a person who was saying no one should ever use Twitter due to how it's mostly a Nazi cesspool at this point, but was using that sentiment to push hate towards trans sex workers because there are more than a few of them that are basically forced to use Twitter in order to actually keep their income since no other website has the same level of users & engagement that actually allows them to pay their bills. I then made a kinda generic reply to the effect of "yeah I agree there's more nuance than this person seems to think there is, there's no reason for trans SWs to force themselves into poverty just because the main platform they're forced to use is fucking horrible." This lead to the person encouraging hate towards, and the harassment of, trans SWs to attempt to make a strawman of that statement calling me - a queer, neurodivergent anarchist - a Nazi sympathizer because I don't think trans people should go into poverty and starve just because the only way they can make money in our fucked-up system is by using Twitter to advertise their sex work.

She then blocked me for calling out her obvious strawman that refuses to acknowledge nuance, and found out from another user in the conversation that the person who blocked me is a liberal to the degree that, to quote the post, "[other user] resigned as her moderator after she insisted that Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wasn't a communist because that would mean he didn't support her ideals of liberal democracy and then she called a sexual assault survivor a liar purely because her abuser was a Democratic politician."

I don't understand how someone who claims to be a leftist and is a published academic refuses to engage with the facts of reality so thoroughly that she's doing the same kind of bigotry the people she claims to be against engage in. I should also note this same person ended up blocking and/or muting everyone in the discussion that was part of the exact minority group she was sending harassment towards, who were all being rather polite. I was the only one that got any level of rude and even then it was only after she called me a Nazi sympathizer for disagreeing with her.

Bottled Message Wizard

His common ability is to send messages across different realms and reality using bottles.

His ultimate is a reality bending skill of Written-Recipe-to-reality is limited to once per 3 days and to liquids. Simply put a written recipe of a concoction into a bottle and it simply manifests. Very useful when testing theoretical mixtures.

Tryna be subtle with this, I wanna avoid relying on my texture brushes too much. The color scheme resemblance to a popular Jrpg mascot is pure coincidence

Sometimes I see RI fics with a lot of notes, then I look at my writing, then to theirs, then back to mine, and I find myself thinking, "I could do it better..." But then I think about it more and realize there's a reason why I do things the way I do and that way is just better for me in the long run.
