some kind of pigeon angel? i guess it has sort of anti-fey powers? the hind shoes are lead, the front are iron and the one over its head is silver. also yeah you wouldn’t put a regular horseshoe on a cloven hoof but it’s not like pigeons can even have hooves in the first place so

#it was originally going to be a dove but plain white is boring and i wanted it to have iridescent feathers and also pigeons are doves anyway #it was also going to have even more limbs but eh. i ran out of places to put them #angels #pigeons

iiiii was kinda surprised about that statement, so i decided to check up on it, and im not seeing any significant or reliable info on the internet about malachite being toxic when wet. this page lists everything from chemical composition to how it reacts to heat, acid and water, and under “health risks” it says “no information about health risks,” which sounds inconclusive until you realize this website is exhaustively researched and says the same thing about quartz.

the only page that even mentions malachite’s toxicity (aside from “crystal healing” sites, tumblr posts, or steven universe fanpages) is on a pesticide registry, where it lists symptoms, not of malachite poisoning, but of copper compound poisoning in general. malachite is very slightly soluble in water, and can release small amounts of copper sulphate, but copper sulphate is also commonly used as a fungicide in swimming pools and hot tubs. it is generally considered safe in reasonable amounts.

i was wondering where this misconception came from, so i did more searching for info about “malachite poisoning,” and one website that regurgitated the same weird infaux about it mentioned something about it being made into paint. malachite was used as a pigment in antiquity, but was replaced in the 1800s by malachite green, a synthetic dye named after the mineral but not actually derived from it at all. it’s toxic, but its toxicity has pretty much nothing to do with whether or not it’s dissolved in water.

the specific story on that website sounded pretty similar to a completely different story: scheele’s green, a synthetic dye produced from arsenic. arsenical wallpaper was a major problem in the 1800s, and was more dangerous when damp.

in short: no, wet malachite does not produce “toxic fumes,” and it didn’t kill napoleon, that was arsenic.

#probably arsenic at least.#may also have just been regular stomach cancer.

so last night in our goblins-only campaign we went down a hole in the middle of a forest, pikmin-style, and found an enormous cavern. like full day’s travel from one edge to the other enormous. with a podium in the middle, which had on it a glowing purple mushroom

(which dante’s character, a goblin bard named thibwick, immediately licked, resulting in “all right, roll your saves.” “which ones” “all of them. please give me constitution, strength, dexterity, intelligence, wisdom and charisma saves” “fuck”)

and a number of magical items, including a weird glove that my goblin barbarian, phlezz, picked up and examined

lambfriend, the gm, described it as “made of soft, light brown leather up to the beginning of the fingers, which seem to be loosely woven out of multicolored feather strands.”

and i immediately said “phlezz turns the glove inside out.” prompting lambfriend to spend several minutes trying to figure out what happens if you turn the glove inside out

“this is a completely homebrew magical item,” pei said, head in hands, “and you just picked the single most confusing thing you could possibly do with it”

#WHAT CAN I SAY #goblin barbarian!! what was i supposed to do? something that made sense???#kaede speaks up

its nice to spend time with people who dont comment on it when i have sudden upper body spasms

I discovered “Avatar the last Airbender” very late, and finally watched it for the first time 2 months ago.

What a Fucking. Great. Show. Michael Dante DiMartino, Bryan Konietzko : Thank you for existing.

So I animated Aang and Katara, dance-bending (inspired from the episode “The Headband”)

Because they make a great team together.

This isn't just exhausting. This is intergenerational trauma, oppression, and maybe even genocide. This violence is specifically targeted against black and brown women, gender non-conforming folks,...

So I wrote a thing. Please read & share!

so many notes!

Secretly hoping it gets more but I LOVE LOVE LOVE how much love this article has gotten so far so I’m pretty happy :)

t chronic illness fw u start believing the whole “you can live a ~normal~ and ~productive~ life if you just keep ~doing normal and productive things~!! do to feel!!” thing and then you attempt to do a ~normal and productive thing~ like get up early, eat breakfast and get yrself to an appointment and then your body decides to punish you and you remember why you don’t do normal and productive things

#really. it would be so much nicer to be able to do these things.
