She lives in a world so unaware

This post gets notes every Ides of March even though it’s not a depiction of Julius Caesar’s assassination, it’s a depiction of the emperor Caligula’s assassination, who was killed on January 24th, 41 AD.

happy it’s caligula’s assassination not caesar’s to all who celebrate

Just posted my very first fanfic so here’s a celebratory batstarion wrapped in Gale’s scarf (I have no idea how to draw knitted fabric or bats) hopefully he’s sufficiently ugly/cute.

- Summery: Looking down at himself he felt nauseated, his arms were no longer arms, but wings made from skin and elongated fingers. How absolutely disgusting. It took him a few seconds to register that despite being a spawn and not a full vampire he’d apparently just changed into a bat. Which was great. Now he got to die as a flying rat instead.

After an incident with a monster hunter, Astarion finds himself considerably smaller and unwillingly dragged into being cared for by a lonely wizard, who has no idea he’s just brought a vampire into his home. -

Chapter 7 has dropped! Astarion gets some quality Karlach scratches. (Karlach’s hands are super textured/burnt don’t know how successful I was in depicting that XD)

I didn’t have the energy to ink this properly so it’s a messy sketch this time - I couldn’t fit in the reactions of the companions to the end of chapter 10 into the last chapters so I decided to draw it instead :D

There’s an announcement about the future of the fic at the end of chapter 12 for those interested~

Guess who had major computer issues, rebuilt and upgraded their PC to fix said issues and forgot to backup their brushes XP

I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.

I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.

Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.

I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.

I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.

Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.

I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.

My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.

I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?

No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!
