Put together my rough sketches of Dorian. Not sure he even looks like the same person in all of them haha — plus anatomy issues as usual — but maybe I’ll use a few for future fanart. #DorianPavus #DragonAge #DragonAgeInquisition #dragonagetheveilguard #sketches #studies #anatomy

Besides which, every single nation on earth has "too much happening here" right now, and yet many of us know an awful lot about American politics.
We're not all just sitting on pause waiting for the USA to do something. Our own political landscapes are rocketing off in all directions, too.

saturation with Tolkien spinoffs has somehow not prepared our culture for the arrival of dark lords bearing a gift that everyone becomes convinced they can wield to accomplish great things but just makes them dependent and start whispering about preciouses if you suggest just throwing it away

A friend is over, TMI they’re having an IBS flare-up.
Velveteen starts HOWLING & HUSKYTALKING full of INDIGNATION.
I said: “You need to go out?”
No reaction.
“You had dinner!”
Nothing.
“…are you mad about the farts?”

Smut is fine, porn is fine, writing about difficult subject matter or other fucked up shit is fine. Books are not capable of harming, traumatizing, or corrupting you. Mobbing an author bc of something they WROTE instead of something they DID is censorship and you're acting like a fascist. Sit down.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Die Groko kann das Gesetz, das sie selber eingeführt hat und das Habeck EU-konform gemacht hat, wohl nicht abschaffen, weil es sonst gegen EU - Recht verstößt, obwohl man so dagegen mit Fakes gewettert hat. Die "Heizgesetz" - Kampagne ist eines der dümmsten Propaganda-Stories der letzten Jahre.
