yeaaaaahhhh boiiiii i love drawing doomed elves (wip)

[elfroot-and-laurels]

sometimes i wonder if it's boring that i almost always create/play/write/etc generally "good" characters. but i also think maybe there's a lot that interests me about the struggle to do good and be good, and it's not about exploring the same types of goodness so much as it is trying to embrace the multiple ways in which someone can do and be better....idk.

If the game won't let my trooper romance Elara, I guess I'll have to draw the clear violation of chain of command regulations myself.

life as a college adjunct professor is draining my spirit bc a student who has consistently implied and wink wink nudge nudged their way into saying that im stupid and a bad 'social scientist' bc i am open about having emotions and opinions has now also said that all teachers and instructors at the college level should be replaced by ai.

[elfroot-and-laurels]

The thing about this is it makes doing any and all work for this course obscenely difficult. I don’t want to finish the last lecture because I know this kid is going to hate it and me and think I’m stupid regardless. It poisons my desire to work with the other kids who are actually reflecting on and finding worth in the material and the discussions. I hate it here.

Chapter 75: A Matter of Choice

It is nearly immediately after the tense exchange in Eamon’s chambers that Savreen learns of Isolde’s harebrained plan to throw a ball before they make for Denerim.

“And she is aware,” Savreen asks Teagan, sat across from him in his study, disbelief leaching out into her tone, “that we remain in the midst of a Blight and a civil war?” Teagan sighs, long and weary.

“She believes that to be all the more reason to celebrate,” he says, rubbing his temples with the thumb and middle finger of his left hand, leaning his right on the arm of his chair. Savreen tries her best not to react. Teagan already knows her feelings on the matter; to be petty is beneath her and accomplishes little.

However. However.

decided i wanted to learn how to draw my boys tonight, and honestly, i think i got them down pretty good finally!

+ for some reason cicero has determined he has curly hair. unfortunately imperial intelligence i think fried it out of him years ago -- he's just now starting to get his curls back during alliance times.

Wonderful news! My dear friend Fadel (@fadel-dani) was able to present his graduation project at his university and received his Bachelor's degree in Information Technology! Anyone who would like to congratulate and bless Fadel can do so by donating so that he can get medical treatment and study for his master's and doctorate in a safer place.

[closet-keys]

Fadel's project was about creating an integrated system for managing the water desalination plant in Gaza electronically. This is an incredibly important project, because Israel has systematically destroyed Gaza's water treatment infrastructure, blocked repairs in countless ways, and targeted workers. It is extremely brave to be working on this project. Please donate so that Fadel can one day lend his skill to rebuilding Gaza. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

[closet-keys]

While Fadel shared this happy news with friends, he was interrupted by Israeli helicopters bombing nearby. There were four strikes on Gaza City last night and at least ten people were martyred. As we text today, @fadel-dani is still in the hospital receiving treatment. To maintain hope in the future, he must survive the present. Please donate so he can afford his hospital bills and medication costs.

[fadell-aldany]

Thank you so much to everyone who congratulated me and shared in my joy. I hope to be able to travel soon and have my surgery as soon as possible to be free from my pain, and to be able to complete my master's degree. So, my friends, you are our last hope. Please help me and be by our side before it's too late. Please donate and stand by me.

[fadel-dani]

Thank you so much to everyone who checked on me during my absence from Tumblr. I've been experiencing fainting spells and loss of consciousness these past two days.

[fadell-aldany]

My health is very poor, and I can barely write this reblog to tell you that I desperately need your help right now. Please help me so I can buy my medication as soon as possible and raise the funds for my travel and surgery. Please stand by me.

The bots on AO3 are actually so disheartening bc what do you mean I have two comment notifications and they’re both illustration commission scams spitting the tags and description of my story back at me?
