COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!!
[ID: Two panel comic featuring Lup, Barry, and Taako. Lup and Taako are tan elves with freckles, brown eyes, and wavy hair; Lup’s is long and brown, and Taako is short and dyed blond. Lup’s wearing a red bikini top and black bottoms, as well as a wide-brimmed hat. Taako’s wearing blue trunks patterned with dolphins. Barry is a fat white man with short brown hair and glasses; he’s sunburned and is wearing pale yellow, floral swim trunks. In the first panel, Lup is seen sitting in the sand in front of the ocean. She grins and raises a hand to wave, eyes shut. In the second panel, Barry raises a hand back at her, also smiling. Taako has one hand on his hip; the other is holding a pink ice cream cone, “Are you blushing or are you just really sunburnt?” he asks. Barry says “Yeah…” /ID]
magic missile
[ID: Line drawing of Taako, seen from the bust up. Taako is an elf with pointed ears and curly, shoulder-length hair. He’s wearing a long-sleeved shirt under a tank top and a belt, and there’s a hat with a wide brim on his head. Taako is turned to the left, but his head faces the viewer. He makes finger guns with his hands; stars shoot from his fingers. He glances backwards at something and smiles placidly. /ID]
Wait that post has me actually thinking. There are people who sit down and think up fantasy slurs for the sake of "immersion" like HELLO???? HELLO????
There are very much people who sit down to write 13 pages of fantasy racial slurs and it haunts me that I’ve seen this
The first time I played Dragon Age: Origins (I returned it when I got stuck in The Fade) and heard humans calling elves "knife-ears" I was like "oh, I guess it makes sense they'd have slurs for their Jewish and Rromani coded fantasy race" lmfao
New direction: spend countless hours thinking of allusions to slurs bc a character had a conversation with a shitty person off screen and is recounting it, and those slurs aren’t acceptable in conversation. Think of words that used to be slurs that are in varying levels of reclamation, that have context that can turn it from an insult to an endearment or vice versa, words with complicated pasts, presents, and possibly futures. Words that are normalized in certain societies so that a character may not know the history or insult until they meet someone who does, they get corrected, and they change.
Language is very important to immersion, and unfortunately bigotry is a part of it. But instead of just giving fantasy races slurs to hurl at each other, you can increase the immersion by including real-world treatment of it.
Though this is somewhat thoughtful in intent, if your first idea to make a world more immersive is to immediately include racism then there's a few problems here. I promise you if I want to deal with and experience racism I can just go outside in places that are known to be extremely racist (for the quickest effect) or just look at literally every other kind of media that trips over itself when not addressing what is considered racist in real life.
There's genuinely no need to throw racism into a piece of fantasy fiction. There really isn't. It's very disheartening to see an author who more than likely doesn't even know what it's like to experience racism even try to incorporate it into world building. It's exhausting as a person of colour to see that racism is damn near inescapable when all you'd like to do is see decent world building that doesn't heavily lean upon bigotry to explain or give an example of heavy tension between different groups in the first place.
Also. I'll say this in the most straight forward way possible. Sitting down for countless hours to think of allusions to slurs is as bad as taking time to outright create slurs. Speaking as someone who's been called multiple racial slurs since childhood.
fuck it gorg in a thrasher hoodie
[ID: 3 drawings of Gorgug and Fabian from Fantasy High.
1: Gorgug, a freckly half-orc in a beanie and a Thrasher hoodie, asks, “Are you my dad?”
2: Fabian, a black half-elf, grins and holds out his varsity jacket to show a Gucci shirt with Peppa the Pig on it. Sparkles surround his face.
3: A fullbody illustration of Gorgug in a Thrasher hoodie with Peppa the Pig on it, with his hood pulled up over his head and his huge battleaxe over his shoulder. Earbuds are dropping out of his hoodie pocket.]
yeah
love it when their ship dynamic is “youre so fucking stupid” but like romantically
you ever draw something in a sketchbook and then you cant find your eraser so you just snap a quick shitty photo of it to erase and redraw bits on your phone then youre like i might as well block in some solids but you zone tf out and just keep going until you have this fully fleshed out yet extremely low res piece of fanart?
and then youre like, well this slaps regardless; might as well post it on my tumblr i havent updated for four years. also forgive me, i dont actually know anything about the adventure zoneses fandoms because i was never in any but i hope my low res dude here is at least pretty to look at.
[ID: A digital illustration of Jonathan Sims from The Magnus Archives. Jon is a man with brown skin, brown eyes and dark brown hair streaked with grey, which is a bit longer than shoulder length. His skin is dotted with small circular scars and there's a scarred line across the front of his throat. He is wearing black hoodie that's maybe a bit big for him and a pair of rectangular glasses. He smiles, blushing a little and looking down while he talks. Little light green hearts are doodled around him on a darker green background. End description.]
Three guesses who he's talking to 💚
Fixed it.
I’d like to think healing magic naturally doesn’t produce the soothing light it’s associated with. Rather, healers make the light on purpose to distract you from wound gore and keep you calm.
Rogue with a large bleeding wound: Haha, so bright, can’t see a thing! Healer, lying: It’s just a tiny cut, don’t worry :)

Devo la main my beloved 😍
it’s all about love and horror! and the intersection of the two! loving something means being horrified you’ll lose it or destroy it. horror is born of love, we love in the face of horror
Making small talk.

oh my god they were coworkers...
so @herbgerblin mentioned in this post an au where barry and lup teach at the same place and their students don’t realize they’re straight up married, which reminded myself and @a-seductive-rock of a similar au we came up with where barry and lup are both professors at the same school, and their students don’t realize they’re married to each other and then this happens:
Jacob Henderson is… well. He’s not FAILING astronomy so much as he’s holding on by a thread. Barely.
He’s a chemistry major. What is he even doing in astronomy?
He didn’t think it’d be that hard, that’s what he’s doing in astronomy. And it’s too late to drop it without facing a penalty or a fee from this damn capitalist university.
They’ve had five assignments so far and he’s bombed most of them, just barely scraping by enough to be passing. So, on assignment six, he’s finally conceded and decided to go to his professor’s office hours for help.
When he walks up to the door, it’s not pushed and latched closed, but it’s open only a tiny sliver. He can hear quiet voices coming from inside.
“Dr. Bluejeans?” Jacob knocks lightly on the door, pushing it open as he does. “I had a question about the-”
He stops as he takes in the scene in front of him.
Dr. Taaco, his organic chemistry professor, is sitting on Dr. Bluejeans’ desk, and Dr. Bluejeans has his hand VERY on her thigh.
“Oh,” Jacob says dumbly. “I- uh. Sorry. Am I… interrupting?”
“Yes,” Dr. Taaco says at the same time Dr. Bluejeans says “no.”
Dr. Bluejeans fixes Dr. Taaco with a look that Jacob can’t decipher, then he removes his hand from where it was on her thigh and crosses his arms on his desk, facing Jacob more directly.
“No, Jacob, you’re not interrupting. What can I help you with here, in my office, during my office hours, where any of my students can freely walk into my office for help.” The way Dr. Bluejeans says that last part feels very pointed. Jacob sees Dr. Taaco roll her eyes.
“I, uh, had a question? About the assignment? I need some help with it.”
“Of course.” Dr. Bluejeans gestures to the chairs against the wall. “Why don’t you pull a chair over and we can work through what you’re having trouble with.”
Jacob does as he’s told. Dr. Taaco sighs and slides off the desk. “You win this time, Bluejeans,” she says, “but you owe me.”
Dr. Bluejeans grins. “I’ll get you on the next one.”
She points accusingly at him. “You better. I’m going to take you up on your offer for next week.”
“I wouldn’t expect anything less.”
Dr. Taaco marches out of the room, and poor Jacob Henderson is left with a terrible realization.

And they were lab partners (oh my god they were lab partners)
[ID: colored drawing of Barry and Lup. Barry is a pale skinned human man with brown, greying hair. Lup is a tan skinned elven woman with curly blonde hair. They are both wearing white lab coats and googles, with casual coats underneath. Barry is seated at a table and writing something. Lup is standing over him and planting a kiss on his forehead. End ID]
#okay consider: #they both teach lab classes but across the hall from each other #the students think that they have crushes on each other and have no idea that they’re straight up married #they smooch during office hours; the scandal (via herbgerblin)
wait, hold up, but like, think about it though:
like neither of them expect to be hired but then they both get jobs by the same facility and they both have tenure (they have tenure for days) and they’re like, “well we’re teaching different subjects so we’ll probably be in different halls.” BUT THEN THEY END UP ON THE SAME HALL. ACROSS THE HALL.
And so they’re like “well cool, we can help each other out if we need anything. and we’ll be 100% professional.”
