The Monterey Bay Aquarium knew EXACTLY what they were doing here there’s no fucking way
what do you mean Just Standing There Ominously doesn’t count as socializing
very slowly and carefully easing back into doing a little bit of art without stressing my arms out. here’s a preview of something I’m working on! I’m hoping to make it into a pattern eventually!
I miss when everyone on my dash listened to Welcome to Night Vale so there’s be a good chance that on any ole day someone would reblog a quote that would grab me by the throat and forcibly ascend me to a higher plane where I understood myself and the universe better and with more kindness but also a little spook
“The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first and settles in as the gentle present” are you kidding me this quote has propelled me through at least three emotional crises
“The desert seems vast, even endless. And yet scientists tell us that somewhere, even now, there is snow.” That quote literally got me through grieving my brother like WTNV goes HARD
A List of Some of My Favorite Quotes From This Insane Podcast:
"You are beautiful when you do beautiful things."
"The present tense of regret is indecision."
"We understand so much, but the sky behind those lights-- mostly void, partially stars-- that sky reminds us we don't understand even more."
"Be proud of your place in the Cosmos. It is small and yet it is."
"Believe in yourself. You are an ancient, absent god, discussed only rarely by literary scholars. So if you don't believe, no one will."
"Death is only the end if you assume the story is about you."
“Whisper a dangerous secret to someone you care about. Now they have the power to destroy you, but they won’t. That’s what love is.”
"Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that’s not the right question. The question is are we living a life that is worth the harm?"
"When we talk about teenagers, we adults often talk with an air of scorn, of expectation for disappointment. And this can make people who are presently teenagers feel very defensive. But what everyone should understand is that none of us are talking to the teenagers that exist now, but talking back to the teenager we ourselves once were – all stupid mistakes and lack of fear, and bodies that hadn’t yet begun to slump into a lasting nothing. Any teenager who exists now is incidental to the potent mix of nostalgia and shame with which we speak to our younger selves."
"We are not history yet. We are happening now. How miraculous is that?"
"Wednesday has been cancelled due to a scheduling error."
"We have nothing to fear except ourselves. We are unholy, awful people."
"A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? A basilisk."
"There's nothing under your bed. There's nothing in your closet. Nothing waits in every darkness. Nothing is the most terrifying thing of all."
"The night sky is ten miles wide, eight miles deep, and floats three miles up. Its favourite food is grape jelly. It wants to be a drummer."
"Look to the sky. You will not find answers there, but you will certainly see what everyone is screaming about."
"Ignorance might not actually be bliss, but it is certainly less work."
"And now, a special report. Crocodiles: Can they eat your children? *YES.*"
"Lie down and look up at the ceiling and breathe with those curiously fragile lungs of yours and remind yourself: Don’t worry. Don’t worry. All is as it was meant to be. It was meant to be lonely and terrifying and unfair and fleeting. Don’t worry."
"As long as I’m reminding myself things, I’m a good person, worthy of love – both from myself and others."
"Guns don't kill people! It's impossible to be killed by a gun. We are all invincible to bullets and it's a miracle!"
"Everything is exciting! Particularly existence. Existence is the most thrilling fact of all."
"There is a monster under your bed. A monster at your window. A monster any place you imagine one. You project your monsters on the world."
"You miss 100% of the bank robberies you don't commit."
"I like my coffee like I like my nights. Dark, endless, and impossible to sleep through. "
"A friendly desert community where the sun is hot, the moon is beautiful, and mysterious lights pass overhead while we all pretend to sleep. Welcome to Night Vale."
"And now, the weather."
I discovered this podcast at the beginning of high school, and let me tell you, it rewired my synapses.
Not only was it my first experience with positive LGBT representation, it was the show I clung to when everything else went to shit. Whatever was going on in my life, I knew I had this show in my corner, making me laugh, making me cry, making me feel okay about my place in the universe.
I owe the creators of this podcast more than I could express.
"the lights over the Arby's" is such an intrinsically queer piece of writing that it hits me *hard* every time.

oh no!!!!!!! gender!!!!!!!!!! just kidding
don’t ever scare me like that again
sorry
A witch is a magic user with more focus on medicine and the body and a wizard is a magic user with more focus on like physics and academia. I don’t know what dingus made up one day that they’re just the 2 magic genders, that sounds stupid
witches = magic doctors, wizards = magic researchers, artificers = magic engineers, alchemists = magic chemists, sorcerers = magic youtubers
What about warlocks?
[deep, deep, deep sigh]

Other people can see magic in you that you will sometimes overlook. Don’t you dare try to convince them they’re wrong just because you can’t see it yet.
side note: this doesn’t mean you have to automatically accept inconvenient quests from oracles insisting you’re the chosen one
they are literally just wizards looking for free labor
I don’t care. I’m going on an adventure!
not without unionizing and demanding a living wage you’re not
Wizard: you’re the chosen one
Me: not without healthcare I ain’t.
Wizard: There’s a dragon
Me: Pretty sure thats an OSHA violation
Excuse me? Oracles and wizards are very distinct classes. Oracles are divine casters, whereas wizards are filthy arcane magic users.
Woah woah woah! There’s nothing filthy about Arcane magic! And side note, Sorcerers can (and do) need labor too. Damn wizards hogging all the adventurers again! We even offer health benefits.
Listen, listen, calm down. All magic is bad.
I may or may not have fallen back into the pit that is WoW because zandalari ladies…good…….

RESIST THE REPTILE
Heard about being a hawk forever, tried it for a while. Got bored with the majesty of flight. What's up?
really not a fan of how ‘realism’ in fantasy and other genres is often synonymous with ‘shitty to women and poc’
shapeshifter sketch design. wanted to run with the idea of someone who relies more on shifting parts of themselves into different configurations to suit different situations instead of just straight up changing into another thing. here they are presenting as mostly human but it’s kind of obvious that they’re not trying to fool anyone into thinking that they’re not a currently bipedal tiger monster.
son-of-bear-and-raven mentioned you in a post
Maybe the collective should try and chill it with this SJW nonsense? As a fan of many member-blogs it is starting to get really really old. Stop playing the victim and pretending like a tabletop rpg is somehow oppressing you. It’s childish and simply makes you look ignorant and stupid. Tiefling aren’t POC, Vampires aren’t POC, no monster is a reflection of POC. I agree whole heartedly with @weareshifter that you just need to stop.
You interpreted that ENTIRELY wrong. Reread it till you actually get it minus confirmation bias, then unfollow me, I’m as SJW as it gets.
