FINROD FELAGUND

latest instalment in the Hot Elves By Balls™️ series features Finrod in an outfit I would probably actually kill people to wear… commissioned by the wonderful @justdrowthings, whose brief for this portrait included the phrases “peak why do we talk about ANYONE when this guy exists” and “major art directive - break me”, and agreeing entirely, I was only too happy to oblige 😌😌😌

commission details etc

09/04/2026 • every time @softinvasions writes a villanelle about how sonnets suck i write another suckful sonnet*. metrical malpractice!

*sonnets do not even have to have 14 lines if you are pure of heart and sonnetpilled enough

How many tablet woven bands are enough?

Trick question!

There is no such thing as enough tablet woven bands!

Oh hey @rumils you don't appear to have asks on so paging - mind saying more about Legend of Khiimori? I was super hyped about the concept but found the demo extremely off-putting - I really disliked having so much UI and detailed minimap and constant skill point management and etc etc between me and my Free Upon The Open Plains horse game. What's it like now?

What’s been the hardest advice for you to swallow? Ever?

If you are correct and annoying, nobody will listen.

[cryptotheism]

Like it does not matter how correct you are, or how beautiful your coherence of thought may be. If you're annoying, people will spend their time and energy elsewhere

[spin-the-wheel-polls]

You wake up one day and discover you've lost control over a random action or feeling!

Spin the wheel to find out what!

How bad is it?

Actually way better than before!

Its good

It's alright

It's annoying but I'll be fine

It's pretty bad

IM DEAD

So this turned into a bug hunt and I’m happy to report we found a years old bug where a post created on iOS that got restored from a saved draft would incorrectly get marked as mature.

[] != nil

iOS only.

'Spurious signals from the kitchen' is harder for an optical telescope than a radio one, but with enough determination and creativity, I believe it's possible.

in college back in 2018 i still didn't have a smart phone yet and they introduced DUO two-factor authentication and I carried one of the physical "clickers" because I couldn't use the phone app. I remember classmates being unable to participate in class or print assignments at the library even with school desktop computers because they left their phones ate home by accident or their phones died so they couldn't login to their school profiles.

professors started doing those kahoots quiz games for attendance points and I told them I couldn't participate because I didn't have a smart phone.

one of my professors scoffed in front of the whole class and said, "are you serious?" i said "are you going to pay for my data plan?"

he relented because he had to and every single day he had to print out a little physical quiz for me to take while everyone else did kahoots. it was so funny bc it was a lecture hall with like 150 students. he gave up after like 3 times and just counted me present.

at work i refuse to have a single work-related app on a phone they aren't paying for so they always have to order me the physical "clickers" for double authentication and they act like I'm pouring concrete in their shoes about it lmaoo

at one job for a state forest my office was in the middle of nowhere with no wifi and no landline and they were like "we'll need to call you throughout the day about project updates" and i said "well then you'll need to install a phone because i don't have cell service out here" and they looked at me like it was somehow my fault. they asked me to change cell phone carriers.
