the problem with autism is sometimes you want to do something (brave) but you need someone to gently walk you through each step so you know what will happen. and people don’t like doing that

i had to phone a taxi today, scary

[sga-owns-my-soul]

every time i see this post i think of that person who posted on reddit that they wanted to go to subway for the first time but they were scared they would say the wrong thing so someone gave them step by step instructions for the entire process and what all the choices would be and when they would ask what question and i just think

someone will

someone out there will see you and say "yes. the world is scary. but let me hold your hand and show you how to do it anyways"

everyone needs that someone, and everyone can be that someone

The subreddit r/explainlikeimscared is a surprisingly good resource for this. People are always very kind and thorough from what I've seen, and I spend a decent amount of time there giving walkthroughs and answering questions when I know the process.

In Sea of Monsters, Percy looked at Annabeth's picture to remind himself that demigod world was real(and he wasn't imagining things).

In The Last Olympian, Percy hung out with Rachel to remind himself the mortal world was still out there.

Sure, they can recreate HTTYD2 with real people. Some people might even like it.

But they will never, NEVER recreate that first teaser trailer where Hiccup took off his helmet for the first time and we all went feral over his glow up.

Should I be saving my money for a down payment on a house and getting rid of furniture so I have less to move? Yes. And also yes.

But consider:

She's $300 and I need her

You guys are a terrible influence.

Some close ups, and the seller also had these candlestick salt and pepper shakers that I got for $2.

Elend waiting for Vin. I'd wanted to do something with jacksupertoast 's gorgeous Worldhopper Ball pose for ages, and then I finished The Hero of Ages… and somehow Titanic crept into this. I apologise for any emotional damage I may have caused, but at least rest assured that the heart does go on. ❤️‍🩹 Thank you for letting me use the pic, Jackson! 😊

Painted in Procreate. I did this - particularly the background - like a classic watercolour, and love the result. I used a wild mix of brushes for this, but the “Tex Galore” set covers them completely! For this weekend only, all my Procreate brushes are 30% off: https://tinyurl.com/JDBRUSHES

I’m sorry @merlyn-bane but your tags passed the peer review because they make the idea outright beautiful

Something I loved in Platform Decay was the whole thing of "sigils" being, very clearly like, emojis. I can't recall if they're mentioned much before this book, but the way Sofi uses them makes it clear what they really are.

Which makes this reread funny when, a few pages in, I'm hit with this line:

I send Three the schematics highlighted where the potential security personnel were located; it replied with an acknowledgement sigil and an updated map projection.

MB: Vital mission information, potential dangers and schematics.

Three: 👍

Someone mentioned how they were having a hard time creating a world for their fantasy fiction geographically because they kept reinventing the island of Britain, which also happened to my good close enemy George R. R. Martin. I would like to suggest North Carolina. I know that sounds absolutely ridiculous but North Carolina has an awesome geographic setup for a fantasy kingdom, I think. Inhospitable barrier islands, constantly shifting shoals in the sound, swamps with alligators, venomous snakes and carnivorous plants, lots of very flat and somewhat sparsely populated farmland, foothills, mines, mountains full of mysterious phenomenon that were originally very difficult to navigate and people still get lost in today. It kind of rocks.

AND VENUS FLYTRAPS ARE NATIVE TO THE CAROLINAS!

[byjove]

There are actually 36 carnivorous plant species native to North Carolina, roughly half of all carnivorous plant species in the United States are found in North Carolina! I added the carnivorous plant detail because that’s something I love about the state. We have so many fucking bugs that the plants keep evolving to eat them.

I love that giant man eating Venus flytraps are worldbuilding staples in untamed tropical fantasy settings but they’re actually native to a small region in the Carolinas.

[byjove]

And I agree with the notes, the Chesapeake Bay + Great Dismal Swamp (partially in NC anyway) and the South Carolina Lowcountry would be good geographic additions to this.

Hi! Are you a Gw2 artist/content creator? Do you struggle getting High Def references of some stuff in game because it's too pixelated or those damn shaders are in the way? Struggling still with figuring out the details on that dress on your character? Maybe you just enjoy a bit lore and art watching! Did you know a lot of Anet artists and sculptors post their work for Guild Wars 2 on Art Station in High Res?

-> I have made a Google Docs compiling a list of works posted by Arena Net employees on Art Station! <- It includes model sheets, early concept art, 3d models, you name it!

I compiled these for myself and my friends at first, but I thought I might as well share! Hope it's useful to someone or that you learn something new about the behind-the-scenes of Guild Wars 2. If you have any suggestions to add and see any mistakes as well feel free to throw a DM!

Please use it I worked very hard on it
