Unapologetically Canadian

Ace She/Her Comics, video games and a random fan of many things. A muse and an a occational Fanfic writer. My works on AO3 is under Scarletpath

[scarletpath]

So I've been doing a lot of work on my Tav Zyn and I wanted to do a big compilation for him. To keep everything organized.

He's a Ex Lolth Sworn Drow. Raised since he was a child to only to be an obedient Assassin for a Lolth Priestess who ran everything like a fanatical cult. Twisted in her own way because of her paranoia and fear for her own mortality. He became a Bard when he escaped to the surface.

So this will be my pinned post directory for him.

(But if you want all the lovely Zyn posts. Because there are a lot more. Just search Zyn in the search bar on my page :) )

Delighted to announce this bird is real and is a corvid.

Truly the family that just keeps giving.

I haven’t seen it in the notes yet, so afaik, here’s the source of that video! So now you can see the funny poison bird much more clearly.

It was taken by a biologist that studies birds so it seems like he knows what he’s doing. For the most part. Here’s his caption:

[krystal-prisms]

You all know that he 100% licked his fingers after handling that bird

At first I thought it was interesting that in Ghost's two newest songs, Satanized was in Black and White while Lachryrma was filled with colour. But it did get me thinking that maybe there was a reason behind it. Especially after reading the comment from The Clergy. [MESSAGE FROM THE CLERGY] We wish to inform you Ghost's new album Skeletá is a selection of 10 satanic songs that cut as close to the bone as inhumanly as possible.

Perhaps there was a theme with the colours. So I pulled up what colours are associated with the 7 Deadly Sins.

And well...

Green and Light Blue/Blue where quiet prevalent throughout the music video.

And the other half having lots of Red, Oranges and Yellows.

Purples seem to flash and bleed through quickly in between both halves.

And of course I didn't miss the fact that the girl's wallpaper is a bunch of Apple trees. In a nice lush green room. Was this suppose to be a Eve and the serpent reference (Especially with the ending) Or maybe even Lilith.

(What do you call a pairing so rare that you made the first fan art of them? 😅) I just think that Pale Petras and Araj Oblodra would make a interesting couple. I can just imagine this happening at end game (With Astarion's good Spawn ending of course) Petras is complaining that Astarion has a Tav and he wants one of his own. So, being the evil good 'brother' he is, decides to set him up with the one person who wouldn't mind at all to date a Vampire. Araj. Astarion is practically cackling at this point as he sets them up. But.. They actually hit it off. Someone said that Araj's blood is like Kombucha to Vampires and Petras is the only one that doesn't mind it. (After a few tries of course haha)

[countess-dawn]

I really love this, petras is the type to want a

Weird relationship like this.

[scarletpath]

He really seems like the type to think he's the one "in charge" in the relationship but we all know that Araj is. Just petting him on the head and hands him a sample of blood she collected with a "Good boy". And Petras just grins with his snack like he won the lottery.

... You know that nagging suspicion that AI models have been trained on copyrighted work? Quelle surprise—turns out, you were absolutely right.

We flagged this in our recent blog post, and now the receipts have arrived.

Tech giants OpenAI, Meta, and others have been dining out on Library Genesis (LibGen)—a repository of pirated books and research papers—to train AI models. (81.7 terabytes of text: that's an all-you-can-eat buffet.)

The Atlantic has launched a tool that lets you dig through the LibGen archive and see what AI companies have been consuming.

Search the database and read the full story here.

Wow I knew a lot of people in Denmark want to boycott America but I had no idea it was widespread enough for our main grocery store chains to do this. People are ANGRY at Trump like I’ve never seen before.

Ah yes. Me. My girlfriend. And her five cat sized spiders, she found in a hole.

Something in the shape of memories long lost.

Inspired by this post.

[sn0rl0]

someone from this post said those are his pjs and honestly. so true

[olderthannetfic]

But it does.

[olderthannetfic]

It does… one at a time.  It’d be useful to be able to select more than one. G&T but not higher, M&E only, everything but E for those who just don’t like smut. (btw I just checked and there is none of the exclusion filters showing on the search page at least in my computer)

AO3 does ‘and’ filters.

You don’t filter for M&E. You filter for not the other stuff.

[izhunny]

I have never seen so many users clearly baffled by and too skittish to push buttons/toggles that are very clearly meant to be used.

If a trusted website has a button and you don’t immediately know or understand what it does, push it. Check out every drop down, every link, every configuration imaginable. Be adventurous. Fuck around and find out. If it breaks the website, they shouldn’t have had that button in the first place. Not on you. Indulge your curiosity instead of complaining it doesn’t do something it absolutely does if you poke around a little.

You’re not going to get a bad grade in filtering by using interface features from AO3, I promise.

[mercurialkitty]

Look, there are library systems that don’t have filters as good as AO3. You have to learn how to use Boolean operators (AND OR NOT) and construct a proper query to exclude in several academic databases, and AO3 just performs “NOT” for you by clicking a button.

Do you know how many grad students would love to have the kind of power you have with AO3 in filters?

[floweryanarchy]

Damn old man calm down it’s just a horse..

Some Rhapsody origins for yall, I see this lil horsey gets a lot of love from u guys, so backstory time was mandatory.

Astarion cleans her up and gives her lots of carrots back at camp dw (I also seen someone said that Astarions horse looks like him…and yes that was intentional, not in these panels obvi.)
