Don't be afraid of contrast

No homerun is worth it if you can't run home to a home you love

Why is it so mortifying to come out to your mother at the ripe age of 30. And she says she knew it all along and she gets it and youre crying and she's crying and she reveals that she's pretty much aromantic and was never in love with your father in the first place and she's still a republican but she loves the gays and then you hang up the phone saying i love you and sobbing and you still gotta go to work tomorrow. Smh

Gee Grendan, how come mom lets you have TWO hatchets?!!

for requests, if you're willing to do something in the garden of yerlick? sasha the knife fairy or cel and their spouse or whatever else you prefer! your art is SO good I could look at it forever

 RQG request #12, a very sweet one. thanks so much for your prompt. i’m actually surprised i didn’t go with sasha the knife fairy (which i sincerely think is a severly underrated line) since doing something about the visitations kind of intimidated me! so i let this one sit for a while and then it just sort of came out of me. the lineart on its own is sincerely very nice, and i was nervous about over-rendering it with the colors, but... i think it’s a lovely result. i’m very happy about the faces. i think they’re all the emotions i wanted. look at cel and yuuko. i might never be able to top that tenderness.

  also, i love my design for feryn, so having the excuse to bust him out was great.

  hope you like it as much as i do <3

[ID: an illustration of the party going through the garden of yerlik, accompanied by spirits. it is drawn traditionally with a mechanical pencil, and colored digitally. it shows hamid, zolf, cel, azu and wilde walking with aziza, yuuko,  grizzop and feryn. most of them are in profile, walking from the right to the left. there are tall trunks behind the group, as well as blue betals and cold breezes blowing through. the living and the trees are colored and rendered in cold palettes of purples and blues respectively, while the dead are colored in a flat, warm orange.    from left to right, first in the walking order are aziza and hamid. hamid has his eyes closed, and his head is hanging a little. he has a sad smile on his face. his skin is brown, his hair is darker, curly and slicked back. he's freckly and has a bit of stubble on his chin. his thick coat has a fur-lined hood. just behind him, and leaning forwards to look him in the face, is aziza, who is holding his left hand with both of hers. she has long, wavy hair and expensive jewelry. she has a build and face almost identical to hamid's, rounded, short and fat. she has an elegant dress and a shawl over her shoulders. she's smiling and talking to hamid with interest.    behind them, further back just a little, are cel and yuuko. yuuko is a tall orc with tusks, gentle eyes, and hair done up in a braid that runs along his scalp and then down. he's wearing a plain button-up with an open collar, and a simple waistcoat. he's walking side by side with cel, offering them his left elbow. he's looking at them with moved adoration. cel is white and blond, hair spiky and tall. they're wearing their goggles and a long coat with fur along the sleeves and collar. they're holding onto yuuko's arm with their left hand, and have the right intertwined with his. they're nuzzling into his neck, since he's a little taller. they're smiling, looking melancholic, both sad and elated.    some paces closer to the camera, behind hamid and aziza, are zolf and feryn. zolf is closing his eyes tightly, with his head hanging down, and he's walking with hands balled into fists. his hair is short and white, and his beard is done in a single plait. his coat has no fur on it. he's strong and stocky in build. behind him and one step closer to the camera, is feryn. he has his left hand on his pocket, and tje other on zolf's arm. he's talking to him in an animated manner. they have the same build, with feryn being very slightly taller. he's wearing an old, long coat with a breasplate underneath, and his hair is long and straight, somewhat uneven. his beard is done in three braids.    behind them and behind cel and yuuko are azu and grizzop. azu is looking down and holding the heart of aphrodite necklace in both hands, sad but smiling softly. her eyes are closed. her coat with a wide fur-lined hood is only partially visible. on her shoulders sits grizzop, who also has his arms crossed on top of her head, looking onwards with a cheeky grin. his long coat, plain trousers and boots are visible. he's bald and freckly, with dangling arrow piercings hanging from his long ears.    on the far right, behind them all, is wilde. he's the only one of the living with his eyes open, and he's looking behind them, off to the right to something off-camera. his eyes are wide and he has a surprised, searching expression. his hair reaches his shoulders and is dark brown, with a streak of white on the left side. his coat has a wide fur-lined collar, and there's a rope tied around his waist, tying him to zolf. end ID]

I know they've got the sauce and aren't fully themselves right now, and that everything about this situation is fucked up, but the thought of Lark and Sparrow working at Papa John's is so funny to me and I can't stop making up scenarios.

Sparrow would genuinely try to be patient with overdemanding customers and keeps up a fake customer service smile even when he wants to break something.

lark on the other hand has to be physically restrained by sparrow from point blank shooting the guy in front of him who just made him list all their toppings (all written down on the sign behind the counter) and then asked for something they don't have

I JUST discovered School Bus Graveyard yesterday and immediately spent real life money to finish season 1

(Slight S1 finale spoiler)

It's Mr. "We aren't going to have a 'future' if we're Dead" Tyler

Thinking today about the Rogue card. How it is very likely that Lark still hates his father, even though there is maybe - maybe - a part of him that knows this anger that's burning him up from the inside is undeserved.

And because I am a sucker for happy endings, I think about how this anger could be fixed. According to the Deck of Many Things description; "Nothing less than a wish spell or Divine Intervention can end the NPC's hostility toward you."

Divine intervention. An ability clerics get.

I'm just saying. Normal is one of the only people in this broken world who can break the curse in his family and finally put a full stop to the trauma that's been haunting the Oaks for generations.

calling my shot: the last use of Code Purple moved at least the population of San Dimas from Earth to Faerun, and these kids have never been to Earth.

this is based on Earth and Faerun being crossed off of the amplifier (like both have already been used/lost) and Anthony saying like “what you assume is a California desert” or whatever that line was in ep11 that didn’t outright say “a California desert”

The full context for anyone who missed it

[rooolt]

I’m finally listening to amnesty and I do think taz is an interesting study of how setting affects player morality because like when you’re a silly elf wizard in a magic world where magic and the afterlife and expressly real it’s like, what does a high death count matter, but when ur just some guy in West Virginia it doesn’t matter if this is some weird goat man actively attacking you, its still a creature with a life and personality and you don’t necessarily want to be responsible for ending that and then I’ve been thinking about this further and I think that this is also seen a lot in dndads when people from the real world are plopped into the fucked up reality of fantasy, they apply their real world ethics in situations like For Knights when the people of that world wouldn’t think twice

[janmenart]

I have many feelings about these boys and I very much hope they’re ok
