This is actually what is going to happen.

That’s already what’s happening in Lebanon. Israel kills regularly, violates the ceasefire agreement on an hourly basis.

It’s just not on the news anymore.

This is why pressure against Israel mustn’t just continue, but increase.

Not sure if this is accurate and it feels self-serving and arrogant, but:

Meliahwyl: Zhaan (Farscape), Brennan (Bones), Amaterasu (Okami)

I promise it kind of works if you put them in a blender. Still missing someone to represent her misophonic anxiety. You know. The ol' razzle dazzle.

Maybe it's the diaspora or maybe it's just projection, but I relate Meliahwyl's elvishness to my Jewishness. I imagine her speaking Elvish being like the Yiddish I never learned. Instead of Yuletide, my friend and I like to joke that she, a druid, celebrates Sylvannukah 😂

I can't remember whose post it was, but I think I had read a tumblr drabble that had had Wyll clasping druidic tav's hands in the Shadow-Cursed Lands and being worried over how cold they felt. I've never gotten that image out of my mind.

Meliahwyl is actually fairly adept at picking locks and disarming traps. Because Astarion is more specialized, she doesn't get to flaunt the skill much. She would be embarrassed to admit to feeling a wee bit of rivalry over it 😅

Genuinely unsure of if Meliahwyl's starter would be an eevee or a rockruff. As a circle of the land druid, she's a jack-of-all trades who can go in many directions. Few pokémon capture this like eevee. Rockruff captures her wolf wild shape and land magic. Gen 1 also captures her age ;)

I see so many flaws 😫 but it was done in a day (which is quick for me) & I was trying something new, so it's still an achievement! 😤

A quick painting of Molvayas, the artist's draconic sorcerer, drow Durge. It is depicting him from the waist up and his arms are tied tightly behind his back by a golden rope. Despite his predicament, he looks up to the side with an amused defiance.
There is an arm belonging to another man gently grasping his chin to steer his head towards him. One finger has a ring on it, indicating the owner of the arm as Lord Enver Gortash. His forearm is badly scarred with bald patches.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
