A little bit of an experimental piece! This took me nearly 3 months to finish lmao

Honestly, I initially tried doing this the grey scale way, but guys, I do NOTTTT like this method at all, like, while I think it looks pretty and it did help me get some definition, the "colouring over the greyscale with multiply" aspect of it was deadass the reason it took me so long to finish, it was suchhh a pain in the ass and while I like the result of the piece overall, I am VERY LIKELY not to do this method again OTL

THAT BEING SAID I am again, super happy with the outcome of the piece however experimental it is >:D AND it's sort of a reference to these old artworks of mine (yes! I've been on a trip redrawing old Marluxia/Lauriam art of mine with this and the last piece!)

now all the things you guys have told me about american high schools are starting to make sense

You're not really supposed to say it this way, because its considered crass, but here in the US children are culturally and legally considered essentially the property of their parents.

Note that its considered more crass to point this out than it is to treat children as property in the first place.

Now that the lead dev of silksong has publicly come out, I can share this funny story.

So, back in october I was at a monthly trans meetup just chatting with the other women there. We were talking about how all the best games are made by transfems, and I made the joke that someone from team cherry needs to transition. One of the other women cackled at my joke. At the time I didn't think anything of it.

Fast forward one month. The person who cackled at my joke brought a friend with her this time. I was chatting with this new girl for a while, getting to know her, as you do.

After like an hour of chatting, the conversation turns to silksong and team cherry. I casually say "My impression of team cherry is that they're all really chill dudes," and I swear to fucking god the girl next to me says, "Yeah, we are."

Cue me being absolutely dumbfounded. I actually couldn't believe that my offhand joke from a month ago was real.

Anyway that's how I met the lead developer of silksong.

(bc I'm not over the arcadion cast)

Arcadion characters trying to teach the wol how to use the internet. It's like being friends with someone from medieval times. You don't want to overwhelm them but fail anyways.

Started because someone asked for their socials and got a blank stare in return.

The responsible ones are trying to make sure the wol doesn't discover the Alexandrian equivalent of ao3 and Twitter. The others actively hinder that.

The wol opening up their version of tiktok and get blasted by a thirst edit of themselves taken from the arcadion footage. The comments aren't helping.

It's like if a group of people from the 16th century just showed up. People wanna see how they deal with their 'high tech' unknowing the outside world already got mechs and are exploring space.

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

Every time I see a Van Gogh that’s not one of his better known pieces it absolutely blows me away

Dont blame yourself for not having known a lesson only time could teach

[prokopetz]

Dungeon crawling game set in a domain where the law of the land states that all hoards, troves, sacred relics, cursed rings, talking swords, and other unclaimed treasures are the property of the Crown, with the retrieving party being entitled only to a modest finder's fee, and also it uses XP-for-gold advancement specifically pinned to the percentage of retrieved articles' value the character in question is able to legally claim; much of play thus consists of fabricating legitimate-seeming provenances for retrieved treasures in order to obscure the fact that they were pried out of a dungeon and thereby defraud the King.

[prokopetz]

(No, this is not "yet another tax fraud premise". Circumventing state ownership of unclaimed hoards is a different thing – more forgery and less math, for one!)

@sigiledpaladin replied:

Yeah this isn't tax fraud, this is commodities laundering.

Of course it's the paladin who understands the distinction.

took me damn near 40 years of being alive to understand that neurotypical people interpret asking clarifying questions before doing a task as you being more stupid than if you simply fuck up the task and say no one gave you the necessary information
