Catholics still huffing copium that Christians don't have to serve the church to serve God

not a single encouraging word on the screen

[nightbringer24]

All of that... and nothing about the plot.

Even if anyone was swayed by all of that word garbage, no-one would have a glue what the sort is actually about.

[alpine-hoplite]

This is like, 99% of all blazed books on tumblr. Its a dime a dozen these days, nothing ever about plot, just gender and sex preferences of the characters and author.

I’ve made this post like six times but it still fucks me up the China’s mountains just look like that. Like I spent decades thinking it was stylistic but no, they just have different mountains over there.

[professorsparklepants]

For reference, here’s what my local mountains look like:

Here’s the general art style Chinese mountains are drawn in:

And here’s how some of them actually look:

What the FUCK

I’m specifically reblogging this here because I know there is a geological reason for this and I know at least one of you has to know it.

thank you

To be clear, karst is a type of topography, not a mountain.

In Japan you’ll find limestone pinnacles, but karst is often heavy in sink holes and caves. It depends a lot on the weather and availability of water.

Here are some fun diagrams to explain the landforms!

bro. how the fuck did you think i found out about the mountains.

Shoutout to the bitches that still follow me after I switch up my hyperfixation every 4 months, y'all are the real OGs, here's a king sized candy bar

[urlocalbitchboy]

Ohohohoho!! Allow me!

[alpine-hoplite]

Probably gonna abandon ship here. Not really all that much left and no one interacts anymore other than like, a few and far. The everything politics is really starting to drain and depress me too

If you wanna keep in contact lemme know, I'm probably just gonna fully migrate over to Instagram.

I am unsure if I should paint the weapons carried by the SEAR operatives in camo or not.

I am going for a sort of Tier-One operator sort of general vibe for them, so camouflage guns would work, but I’m just unsure if I should and to what degree.

[nightbringer24]

I think I could do it, but in a simplistic way: paint it roughly the same colour as some of the camo elements, but less detailed. It helps that the two models have quite open poses anyway.

[alpine-hoplite]

Do you mean SERE?

[nightbringer24]

No, SEAR. Supernatural Encounters, Aggressive Reconnaissance.

It’s an anti-monster/demon/occult organization I came up with for games of Xenos Rampant. Think Rainbow Six, crossed over with Call of Cthulhu.

[alpine-hoplite]

Oohhh, I think I remember us talking about this a long time back
