The Worth of Gold

Hallo from a thirty-year-old woman with way too much free time. I post art, writing, and plenty of random reblogs. Mostly Exalted and SWTOR related, with the occasional cat or other fandom related thing. Enjoy!

What does it take to make African mythology real? Everything we had. Over 70% of our Kickstarter Backers came from Tumblr. Thank you. Now it's yours.

here's a list of programs/sites/whatever that were helpful to me when i was moving away from using spotify & back to downloading music:

soulseek - peer to peer downloading program, has most music you'd want. there's "rules" to it though and the UI is a little confusing, but you can figure it out. there's tutorials. i believe in you

cobalt.tools, ytiz.xyz, yt-dlp - mp3 downloaders, for the songs that you can't find on soulseek

musicbee - music player, extremely customiseable. reminds me of when i used itunes back in the day. has a lot of good features, including syncing music over to your phone

lastfm & listenbrainz - sites that keep track of your listening stats. i'd recommend this even if you still choose to use a music streaming service

syncedlyrics - cmd thing that gets you timed song lyrics, like the ones spotify has. there's no UI but it's easy enough to use. just grab the lyrics and timestamps it spits out and paste it into musicbee

music presence - program that shows what song you're listening to in your discord status, in case you use discord and enjoy the thought of other people seeing what you're listening to, which i do for some reason

i'm not going to lie to you and say that switching away from spotify/streaming services is an effortless task, it took me half a whole day of nonstop Work to get all my music downloaded and sorted out, but i will say that it was worth it!! and you should do it 👍 if you want to

[pumpkindobby-blog]

I’m scheduling this for every month

Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere

So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.

So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.

And that is how this charity received over 1 million in donations in three days lol. Oh btw the “freedom of expression” side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)

[tlbodine]

From now on this is how all petty fandom disputes should be settled.

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

[dougielombax]

*kicks it even further*

I couldn’t help it. I had to.

*points at whoever next finds this post*

Now it’s your turn.

[transmascmarypoppins]

why is this post completely broken in every way imaginable

[cecilsrandomeverything]

Broken notes… deactivated account… removed image….

Finally, we have them all.

[spacefinch]

In addition: OP’s name is just… gone. No “[insert username]-deactivated[insert a bunch of numbers]” as is the standard for deactivated blogs.

Just the world “deactivated.” Look upon their post, ye mighty, and despair.

[chatblancofficial]

It’ll be almost impossible to find this post unless it wanders across your dash.

[huewrite]

It wandered across mine. I shall help it travel forward.

Oh hey post of Ozymandius, good to see you again standing on your feet in a desert where no one remembers you

You don't have a male or female brain – the more brains scientists study, the weaker the evidence for sex differences

Rather than distinctly male or female, the human brain is much more like the heart, kidneys and lungs – basically the same no matter the sex of the body it's in.

[liminalweirdo]

“This collapse is a telltale sign of a problem known as publication bias. Small, early studies which found a significant sex difference were likelier to get published than research finding no male-female brain difference.”

[mckitterick]

the notes on this are toxic - to help clear up any misunderstanding, here’s the actual science paper:

Dump the “dimorphism”: Comprehensive synthesis of human brain studies reveals few male-female differences beyond size

With the explosion of neuroimaging, differences between male and female brains have been exhaustively analyzed. Here we synthesize three dec

in short: brains are brains

Exalted: Essence Storyteller's Guide

Help us create both a Deluxe Edition and a traditionally printed version for sale in stores!

Time to self-promo on what is undoubtedly the worst website for self-promo (but hoping this finds the right people). Presenting Exalted: Essence Storyteller’s Guide, on which I had the pleasure of working about six months ago with a really cool team of writers and a fantastic editor. My contributions included some alt-rules, some gm advice, and some of the antagonists. It was one of the best creative projects I’ve worked on, and only partly because I’ve been obsessed with Exalted for over a decade.

With that comes the obvious caveat

If you’ve never heard of Exalted before, don’t start with this book. Get Exalted Essence. This is a supplement, for GMs, to lighten the load and help you tweak, customize, and add cool scenarios and antagonists for your game.

I just found this, what is Exalted?

Glad you asked. Exalted is a post-apocalyptic (but not Earth post-apocalyptic) fantasy, wuxia, and pulp adventure game, originally made by White Wolf, the creators of Vampire the Masquerade, and now published by Onyx Path. You play the titular Exalted, accursed Chosen of the Gods, which possess superhuman powers. The game is geared toward dramatic combat, social intrigue, and epic scale adventure. It’s a moderately crunchy game, with heavy emphasis on giving characters impactful and cool powers, and alright for one-shots, but really shines in longer-running campaigns. It's also got probably my favorite social mechanics in a TTRPG, period.

Essence is the "newest" version, (published alongside the still-ongoing 3e, a "rules heavy" version.) It's “rules light” which to say it’s only moderately instead of very crunchy, and can be played from a single book. I've had a blast running it so far.

The Royal Armouries let me play about in their armour!

(This was a set from someone similar in size to me, but it wasn’t exactly correct in all dimensions. Real knights often wore armour that was made to measure, which would allow for a slightly better range of motion. However, for a video game or film character that has looted armour, then something that fits as well as this would be a best case scenario, so it still tells us a fair bit!)
