If you leave quietly maybe the werewolf won’t notice you🐺

An illustration of a werewolf crouched on all fours. It is all black with bright red eyes and an open mouth with large teeth and a dropping tongue. I that a thin body with long fur along its back and tail, its feet have large claws. The background is a plain light peachy pink

your work is SO beautiful, I don't know how to describe it exactly but when I first saw this I thought I could see it moving slightly because of the way you managed to capture their figures mid-motion. the composition and details flow so nicely and it feels real. Truly awesome

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. "
"You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

I don't think someone always needs to 'grow a thicker skin'. I don't think super sensitive people always need to toughen up. I think sometimes the other party needs to learn some empathy and compassion for their fellow man.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

ok that's better. wait exCUSE me

Screenshot from the game Dragon Age Origins of my Dwarf Commoner Warden. Her name is Damiana; she's got close-shaved black hair, black eyes, and a pointed block tattoo with a square swirl motif over her right eye. She's wearing blood-spattered Grey Iron Chainmail armour (which does not include any chain maille in the design at all--it's actually very pretty little scale maille reminiscent of Dragon scales) and she is speaking to a young boy, an NPC in the town of Lothering near the beginning of the game. The boy is asking Damiana, "So, um... you're a dwarf, aren't you?" and one of the response options given is "Did my height give me away?" I'll have the boy AND the writers know that some people are just short, in fact.

YES this camera is anti-dwarf!!

(i said that on tumblr and the post got flagged for mature content LOL)

marzi 🍀🏹🌙 @marzipanleaf.bsky.social · 1d

why does this camera angle hate me

Screenshot from Dragon Age: Origins of my Dwarf Commoner Warden on the left and Alistair on the right. Alistair is saying "What are you talking about, man? Taken how?" in reference to the Tower of Ishal at the beginning of the game. My dwarf's face is half cut off because the camera angle is too high to account for the height difference. She has close-shaved black hair, black eyes, and a pointed block tattoo with a square swirl motif over her right eye.

I guess there is a silver lining here, if you think about it." in response to my Warden saying "Weren't you complaining that you wouldn't get to fight?" My dwarf's face is half cut off because the camera angle is too high to account for the height difference. She has close-shaved black hair, black eyes, and a pointed block tattoo with a square swirl motif over her right eye. This interaction takes place in the Tower of Ishal at the beginning of the game.

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.

I don't love asking this but I just had a huge car expense, so-

Elim needs dental surgery for extraction & the estimate for that + his vet visit today comes to around 1500. That's a lot.

If you ever thought "wow, I want to tip her for showing us all the weird and super specific stuff she makes,"--

Elim, a long-haired orange tabby, looks down and into the camera. His expression is extremely judgmental.

Elim standing on the deep freezer, hoping for treats. The background colors have been muted, so he looks very orange in this image. He has very long whiskers, and yellow-green eyes. His ears are slightly back and his tail is up (I'm probably telling him to get his butt off the freezer even as I was taking the picture).

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important
