A tumblr for random internet finds, blabbery, and anything too random for blog-blogging. So more blogg-ish-ing, really. Expect anything from science, humor, writing, occasional feminist rants, Game of Thrones, Terry Pratchett, Mel Brooks, and fangirling over Forgotten Realms, general fantasy CRPGs, and Fallout.
⭐️JUNE COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN!⭐️
I’m open for all types and excited to work with you!
Check out my TOS for current pricing and info.
If you’ve ever been interested in custom artwork I’m excited to work with you. Here are some more examples of recent commissioned pieces:
Commissions are the majority of my income and I need to fill 6 spots this month to cover bills and living costs. So if you are interested, please reach out. If not, please share! The more eyeballs on my work the better chance that someone who wants to commission artwork sees I'm available for work.
Thank you everyone!
Time to woo Gale with my shameful/less, gratuitous self-insert wizard Tav.
She's amused, intrigued and unimpressed, in a, "Great googly-mooglies, this man is a pompous windbag who could have come straight from the bowels of my old academy, but he's cute and he's so awkward that it's strangely charming and he likes cats so I'll let it slide for now." kind of way.
do you ever have someone say something that has so many layers of wrongness that your brain just hits a brick wall? I had that with this guy. he leaned over to share a fun fact with me: “did you know, scientists have answered an age old riddle: what came first, the chicken or the egg? they extracted a protein and found it was the egg.”
and I had to blink for like 20 seconds before answering. I said well, that depends on how you’re defining the question, because the ability to lay eggs predates chickens by quite a bit. but if you’re asking what came first, the chicken or the chicken egg, it would be the chicken because whatever minuscule mutation it is that theoretically makes us consider a chicken a chicken would be in the embryo inside a not-chicken egg. and then that chicken would grow up and lay a chicken egg. but the question is actually nonsense because there’s no clear line you can draw between ‘chicken’ and ‘not a chicken’, and species as a concept is actually more artificial than you think. I can use ‘ring species’ as an example to help illustrate that, if you want. so say a deer species lives on a u-shaped island with a giant impassable mountain in the center. because of gene flow, all the populations living beside eachother will be able to interbreed. but, because the populations on either side of the u have theoretically been separate for millions of years, they can’t interbreed. is it all one species? is it multiple species? where do you draw the line? is it based on external features? on genome? because even those break down under scrutiny. so you see, the chicken and the egg question is just nonsense. also what protein. what protein did the scientists discover in the egg.
and he stammered and said “I don’t know.” and then later I realized that he’d been trying to flirt with me
Speaking as someone who's ND, I'm thinking maybe we just need to wear sandwich boards reading, 'I will take whatever you say literally and give you an earnest answer, please do not expect me to take hints, please, seriously, just fucking come out and say it, I am begging you.' Because I've done stuff like this, too.
Do not get me started on speciation, the definition of a species, the artificiality of our definitions of species, the inadequacies of those definitions when they meet the real world, and especially don't me started on trying to apply the word 'species' to any prokaryote when those little suckers took one look at the notion of vertical gene transfer and were like 'okay so we could just clone ourselves but, hear me out, what if we also just sploofed random assortments of genes at whoever we felt like, how about that?'.
reblog if your inbox is always open for new members of the fandom who may be a little shy or intimidated. doesn’t matter whether or not you’re a “popular blog”; everyone here is equal and if you’re reading this as a new person/someone considering entering the fandom, we will not turn you away!!!! talk to us!! make friends!! i more than understand being shy but trust me this fandom is chill come join us in this hellhole

idk if you answered this before but does Tally have any hobbies? Embroidery or something of the sort?
Taliesin has a number of hobbies;
He enjoys reading books, either a spicy romance novel or something educational.
He takes good care of himself and his equipment, so while it may seem like a chore, he does find enjoyment in sharpening Berwhale and polishing his boots to that he looks good on the next big adventure.
He also likes cooking. Sometimes he'll flip through a cookbook or grab what he can to see what tastes good!
He does enjoy embroidery, something he picked up with his middle sister, Naarein. His father was against it, at first. But after Taliesin stated he found stabbing something 1000 times oddly soothing, he backed off.
windows XP came out in 2001 (2001 was twenty two years ago) and its last update was put out in 2008 (2008 was fifteen years ago), since XP windowls has released Vista, 7, 8, 10, and finally the most curent windows version windows 11. so no XP wasnt one or two generations ago…. it was five generations ago…. and that is…. wow
My first Windows program was a completely different system attached an an old 90’s computer with the ye olde black screen with green text. We also used floppy disks.
This was a toughie between the College of Winterhold and Bard's College, but honestly, I just feel like Taliesin is a natural bard and I want to hear him sing.
