Can we tho?!
my take on every pitt character btw
I feel like a very helpful (though not strictly necessary) skill in making art is being sort of zoomed in and zoomed out at the same time. like you're running two different protocols in your brain computer--one that's detail-focused and one that's checking the details' place in the larger image. kind of like how when you're in-betweening animation you need to be conscious of where both the previous and next frames are

In places where it is perfectly common and safe to do so, is having an unnatural hair color brave?
Yes I've had hair like that
No I've had hair like that
Yes I've Never had hair like that
No I've Never had hair like that
Nuance I've had hair like that
Nuance I've Never had hair like that
Result
By yes I've had that I don't mean it has to be your whole head or anything literally a single strand dyed an unnatural color.
I've had numerous fashion colors and I've been told by many people it's brave but I live somewhere and have a job where literally nothing is going to happen to me by doing this. I fully acknowledge in some places it's very brave to stand out or do something like this as a statement but I do it for fun with no risk to speak of so it always surprises me. Like I know not everyone does it and I know many people don't do it because they're scared what people will think and they recognize its cool to see someone brush those concerns off but in reality there is zero risk so I've always been curious what others might think :)

“Crystalline Light,” reduction linocut, 2025. By William Hays
SCROLL UP THAT'S NOT A PHOTOGRAPH!!!!
Okay but I don't think "that's not a photograph" is enough for this. That's a reduction linocut and I'm just going to assume a whole lot of the people here won't know what that means or google it. It means that the artist has had a linoleum block and has made this image by carving pieces out of it bit by bit, printing layers upon layers at different stages of carving to get the layered colours on the final print. Hypereaslistic paintings and pencil drawings and such are impressive, but I beg you all to look up how linocuts are done to get an idea of how this has been done.
if you like a character long enough you begin to lose the plot a little. just made my nonbinary wizard lactose intolerant and allergic to some sunscreens. okay
Crazy thing about #healing #recovery Small Victories is when you'll have some shit going on that's like, saying this would involve admitting how you used to be doing. You know? Like hey guys good news I'm gonna change my bedsheets this year
That's the thing about Doing Really Bad you kinda keep it to yourself. And then you start doing a little better & when you try to tell people this the vibe is like "what do you mean you were living in the sewer this whole time are you good?" while you're standing there like Yeah that's not the important part never mind that. I'm literally out of the sewer
Spin the wheel.
You have been offered a full-ride scholarship to get a four-year degree in this field, specifically. Upon graduation, you will be guaranteed a job in this field at the 75th percentile of average salary for the field, with the possibility of further advancement as the years go on.
However, you will never be able to get a job in any other field.
Do you take the offer?
100% yes!
Probably yes
I'm honestly torn, this is a hard choice
Probably not
Absolutely fucking not
Random other option for people who want to ramble in the tags
do you get put off from a piece of fiction when it has little to no female characters?

One of the best bait and switches that Matt pulls in Campaign 2 is the way he completely sets the Nein up to believe that the Dynasty is this brutish, scary place using nothing but propaganda and effects that the characters will find ominous (for example, drow wanting to live in darkness makes sense, but as humans it can feel foreign and threatening).
He purposefully puts them in contact with people from the Empire who are biased narrators and doesn’t tell the party that they’re biased. He lets them do research in the Empire but that research is all slanted to make the Dynasty seem as foreign and alien as possible. It’s such a perfect illustration of how propaganda can dehumanize its targets, and because this is a fantasy world, the players and the characters don’t have enough knowledge of Xhorhas to be able to tease apart the lies and spin to find the truth.
So Matt sets them up to explore the Dynasty with their only information about the area from the Empire, and in the beginning, the Nein see what they expect. On rewatch, WE as watchers know that this is just another culture of people, that the Dynasty is in some ways kinder than the Empire but still a colonizing force in Eastern Wynandir, and that the Kryn are just as much a mix of good people and bad people and ordinary people trying to live their lives, like anywhere else.
We get to watch in real time as the characters discover this for themselves, and it’s such a fascinating study in the way that personal experience and connections to people who have been dehumanized can effectively help in deprogramming biases. The Nein’s attitude starts to shift in Asarius, but we don’t truly see them accept that the Dynasty is like anywhere else until they start living in Rosohna.
I doubt this bait and switch was planned in this form back when Beau and Caleb first researched Xhorhas, but it’s really brilliant the way Matt runs with it once the party decides to go to Xhorhas to rescue Yeza. Rewatching these episodes, I’m always fascinated to watch the Nein’s slowly-changing attitudes to the Kryn while knowing that this is going to become one of the places that they eventually call home. It’s just so well done.
This is one of the biggest reasons I am a little saddened by the choice to start the animated show in the dynasty and frequently return there throughout the first season.
The characters are still mostly in the dark, but the viewer doesn't go on that journey of misinformation and wondering with them.
If you're dining with someone who you care about and this person doesn't eat food you like (not because they simply dislike it, for some another reason!), do you also choose not to eat this food while you're with them?
- yes, regardless
- yes, but it depends on their reasons (?)
- yes, but it depends on something else (?)
- no, I eat what I want
Note: I have celiac disease, and sometimes I'm very jealous of people who can eat food I cannot. This makes me change my food choices if someone I like doesn't eat something - I don't want to make them sad and jealous.

unless its like an airborne allergy, or we are sharing a cooking space I'm eating whatever I want.
I also have celiac, but I am like pretty at peace with it so I don't get jealous of other foods. I do get sad, but my friends trying to match my restrictions would only stress me out more?
Also my friends have a lot of dietary restrictions and if we added up we simply would not be able to eat anything.
hey, do you mind if i immensly value our relationship, in a way i'll never properly be able to fully verbally communicate
do you guys ever like forget you’re interested in something until you start engaging with it again and you go “oh wait i’m like crazy crazy about this yeah”
Does anyone know where to watch /have the Maybe Happy Ending Tony’s Performance. I just saw the show and I want to rewatch the way they did the firefly scene for the Tony’s
