working on a pic for 14 consecutive hours and then describing it like a reporter who's just stumbled onto the scene with mic in hand and a deep fear of libel lawsuits

Big fan of the maximally generic sentence structure artists use for image descriptions when they don't want to force a specific backstory on the commissioner: "Seems like X is having a good time!"

midway through the night you're probably sleeping under it in diamond configuration and it looks absolutely insane

you're sleeping on your side and occasionally pulling it and snuggling up when you sleep but you pull in the same direction and each time you do that rotates it by like 5 degrees

character design — Roc slayer

goat character wearing a white poncho with yellow accents and red inner fabric. tattooed on her arms are bright black, red, and white swirling patterns. when assembled, the patterns resemble eyes, mouth, and a beak.

Text:
"Steppe Courier - Hailing from a region beset by Rocs, she is among the few renowned specialists trusted to transport supplies and guide caravans.
When a Roc swoops down, she braces a navigational lance between her legs and against the ground, angling its foreshortened point
straight toward the raptor. Combined with her full threat display (mimicking a rival) the offending beast is driven off or skewered."

The Dragonsong War painted Ishgard red with blood... #ffxiv #ff14 #finalfantasyxiv

A dragoon armed with his lance lunging at Nidhogg, both freefalling from the sky with the Holy See of Ishgard painted in red in the background. Hraesvelgr sits atop of Ishgard overlooking the scene. Lances are falling from the green sky.

yeah exactly. people fear being wrong, as judged by the social groups they care about, much more than they fear being wrong as judged by like, do their beliefs correspond with actual reality

this is, weirdly, the same problem the CDC have with vaccines

if your audience doesn't have the technical skill to recognize good arguments from bad, then unless one side concedes they just see two people arguing and they go with whoever's vibes they like more
