Tempting but concerned about the implications of opening her box

[deirdreskye]

It's very interesting to me that a gigantic minotaur is fucking me vigorously. I'm observing the situation as it plays out from a detached academic perspective.

If all three apply to you, try to pick your favourite!

There's no wider purpose to this poll, it's just something I was talking about with a friend, would be interesting to see if they're all equally popular fantasies or if one is more common than others

Reblogs for a wider reach are appreciated :)

Can I fucking help you?

my senior english teacher told me that any scene with a woman in a cornfield in every piece of literature ever is about her journey to womanhood/pleasuring herself in the field and i just.... believed her

Reblog if your art project has not, does not, and never will make use of generative ai at any point in your creative process.

[duckprintspress]

no nuance...

yes, I use generative AI as part of my creative process

no, I don't use generative AI as part of my creative process

I should probably define what falls under the umbrella of generative AI here but I kinda don't feel like it, but like. using an image generator to make references. brainstorming by talking with chatgpt. generating images of characters as inspiration. all that kinda jazz counts. as of course does full-on using genAI to make your stuff.

remember that your vote is anonymous, so you don't have to out yourself on one side or the other when you share. I'm just curious what the spread is actually like when there's some anonymity. if you're wondering my own opinion it's in my original tags, but I'm attempting not to be judgemental in this accompanying text.

[duckprintspress]

just remember that if y'all want to see how bad the genAI users get ratioed, you need to reblog it...

Readings for sale

Tarot readings backed by 20 years of reading practice and 10 years of behavior coaching, Zeke will provide a reading that combines occult ex

Hi Tumblr! I'm stepping back into the world of professional tarot after some years of just doing it for friends and family because I'm good at it, I enjoy it, and we're all slaves to capitalism. I've been doing readings since high school and had a stint some years ago doing it professionally, when the internet was primordial and phone psychics dominated the scene. Since then I've worked as a writer, in customer service, social work, life coaching, and even got a degree in behavioral psychology, all of which I put to work in my readings.

If you're interested in a reading that really tries to emphasize growth and development, not just attempts to predict the future or answer a basic yes/no question, you'll like what I do. I develop the connections between the cards and themes, what they're saying and what you need to know, and if you're not happy with my work it's on the house.

I'm also running a discount until December 1 because I know times are tight and our queer asses often don't have a lot to spend, so you can use the promo code Tumblr to get your reading for $20. If you can't afford that please feel free to send me a DM or ask and we'll figure something out.

Tell you what, everyone vote for Saejima in the RGG popularity poll and I’ll draw thotty pinups of him with poses from my Tom of Finland life drawings to remind you to vote every day

While I'm working on writing my rpg I'm also trying to work up a side hustle getting back to tarot readings. It's been a while since I've done it AND i need to get the feel for a few new decks (especially as my lord of the rings deck has been missing for like 13 years).

Anyway if you want one (free, I'm practicing but won't turn down tips if you're happy), hit me up and choose a deck.

Crow Tarot:

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Art and Tarot deck (this one is nonstandard, two major arcana plus nine Egyptian gods, good for simpler big picture spreads):

Spirit Halloween Tarot:

Goddess Tarot (my oldest and most familiar deck):

Sonic the Hedgehog Amy Rose's Fortune Cards deck:

Most of these are standard or standard analogues aside from Jojo.

Preppin' a PbtA Kickstarter

Alright y'all, I'm working on a time travel themed PbtA game (protect the timeline but also if you get a chance to kill Hitler take it). I've spent most of my time in D&D, WEG D6, and ShadowRun; while I'm most comfortable in those areas I think PbtA is the best fit here (though I did spend a lot of time considering D6 as well). It's a classless (or maybe custom class - playbooks are determined not by a chosen class but by the stats you specialize in) system intended on a fun adventure where things go wrong in time and you're going to end up in weird places and full on fiction by the end of it.

In short, if any of my followers are PbtA players or at least somewhat familiar - or would just like to provide general feedback because the idea sounds fun - I'd love to send a PDF of the (almost) finished first draft of the player's half of the manual. After that, I write up the GM section and send THAT for feedback before I revise and start playtesting. And hopefully kickstarting this thing so my unemployed ass can have some funds to live on while I finish this project.

[zekedms]

I've just wrapped the first draft of the player section! If you're reading this and have opinions about RPGs, especially PbtA but really anything at all, I'd love your feedback. I'm planning to give anyone who provides solid feedback a free copy once this is all done, and I'm interested in providing WIPs as well.

Here's the intro page, in case you're wanting to gauge your interest. Send me an ask or a message and I'll get a PDF (or other format if needed) your way.

TimeTracks is a pen and paper RPG where players — the titular TimeTracks — are in charge of neutralizing rogue time travellers over the course of a campaign of escalating stakes where things are likely to change with every adventure. In this world, it turns out time travellers have been all around us for centuries thanks to the invention of commercially accessible time travel in [UNABLE TO LOCATE STABLE DATE]. While most time tourists behave by only taking era appropriate technology, blending in with the locals through translation devices, and never ever using time travel for their own gain, the occasional rogue slips through. Mad scientists with at-home devices, con artists with stolen licenses, and even mafiosos using time travel as a new way to lay low stretch the limits of causality, threatening a break in the universe. The TimeTracks were founded at the exact same moment as time travel itself, tied to the very existence of the devices that allow them to operate. Numbering in the [UNABLE TO DETERMINE STABLE MEMBERSHIP COUNTS], the TimeTracks operate in whatever structure the timeline necessitates, be it a rigid military hierarchy operating out of its own sovereign state or a flat, leaderless hippie commune running out of its own sovereign state. Their only constant is the mission to protect reality. They’ve been rightly seen as bounty hunters, vigilantes, police, and even paladins sworn to keep the timeline safe from those whose reckless actions would change it. But what happens when they want to make it better? TimeTracks is a highly flexible, classless and levelless time travel RPG for those who want to explore wildly different settings with a mostly consistent character, allowing for dystopian sci-fi, medieval action, and even shonen anime. While it’s possible to stick to Timecop and Terminator inspirations, the intended experience is to start in a realistic modern day, move to renaissance and back until causing one or more massive shifts into fantastic settings while uncovering the mystery of how the TimeTracks came to be, creating a utopia, setting a historical wrong right, or just bringing a few player characters through a big emotional journey.

me, adding a new tag to my block list: I’m so glad my beloved mutual has discovered a new source of joy

[gothhabiba]

a sort of survivor's bias of literature causes a lot of people to believe that novels "used to" be of higher quality, greater originality, greater 'effort', greater literary-ness, greater inspiration, &c., than they are to-day

and it's like, well, that is because you're pitting a book published 200 years ago that people still talk about and read to-day, against your average aeroport written-to-spec romance that probably will not be being discussed 200 years from now. if you read the mass-market hetslop of the Victorian era I promise you would not like it.

[zooeywrites]

Never forget that Irene Iddesleigh came out in 1897.

The only difference now is that so many more people can share their work, not that more books are bad. There's more good stuff than ever too that works never see the light of day just from the big 5.

I hate it here in 21st century America can I go back to mid-90s america where the rules were way easier and people were kinder?

[moniquill]

Quick question: How old were you in the mid-90s

[aetherograph]

Ok, you wanna live in the 90s? There's no autism, you're just getting bullied. There's no youth lgbt outreach, you're just going to die. There's still gay bashing. Being gay is illegal, let alone being trans. There's gay pride and its still a protest march. Being "weird" gets you bullied. You don't know what "trans" means. There's an internet but you need housing and money to have a computer and access to it, do you have those? Being homeless is harder. There's acid rain and whales are still endangered. You have to make the best of the people around you for friends or you have no friends. Long-distance calls are still expensive. The internet is slow. The movies you watch are limited to what your local theatre will play. The tv shows you watch air a new episode once a week and you have to watch whatever is on at the time.

But yeah sure, getting a job was technically easier if you passed as cis and straight, and property was still cheaper, and having a garage band was still easier provided you could make friends with the exact right people in your area, and school was slightly better curriculum-wise provided you weren't being bullied to death, because NCLB hadn't shown up and the Children's Broadcasting rules had some teeth. But that assumes you had access to a tv as a kid and weren't forced to watch what your parents wanted to watch all the time, bc the house only had one tv.

But if you're queer? Good fucking luck staying alive and finding friends. Oh you want to move to the city and find queer people? okay well, everyone is dying. You're going to funerals every day, sometimes there's two in one day and you gotta pick between them. I'm not exaggerating.

Can we stop romanticising the past please?

[its-gita-time]

The 90s were the era where if you wore a purple shirt one time your friends would call you Gay Francis for the rest of your life

[zooeywrites]

And then when you got sick, the health insurance investigators would determine that since everyone calls you that it must be because you're hiding being gay from them, practicing an unsafe lifestyle and that your kidney failure is a pre-existing condition caused by that so they're not covering you.
