send me the weirdest strangest animals and plants and i’ll try to make them into dragon designs once i have time to draw
objects/landscapes/more abstract things too if they have cool colors/shapes, look like a creature or are simply strange and neat
you can also send multiple in one ask and i’ll combine them
Máma: *Zpívá mé osmiměsíční neteři Ach synku*
Já: Chybí ti Masaryk, mami?
Máma: *ukazuje mi prostředník a dál zpívá*
Ségra: *po chvilce vchází do místnosti* Hraješ si s mým potomkem na pohřeb Masaryka?
for writing-my-dragon-age-nonsense purposes i'm replaying my early saves of dao - just the very cousland castle sequence - but unfortunately. those are pre-mod saves. with a sort of incorrect head imported for my character. so uhh. yrsa is not looking so good
We got kittens in our apartment now and me and my roommates are debating what to name them
2 black, 1 tabby, all boys (but we don't mind non-male names)
Any good names for a mischievous trio?
Někdo říkal Halí Belí Zelí, a to těžce respektuju. (Jenom by asi neexistovalo něco jako volání jedné kočky, protože jim to zní stejně. Ozkoušeno: místo "ťuťí" jsem na kočku zavolala "Putin" a přišla)
Miluju kočky pojmenované po jídle. Vepřo, Knedlo, Zelo?
Onehdy jsme ale s partou riffovali*y kočičí jména a... Hudební nástroje. Všechno zní vtipně. Buben. Trombón. A můj životní úspěch... Čičinel
My máme dvojku Piškot a Piskoř a I když zní podobně tak to ti dva většinou rozeznají.
I když pak se stane to že přiběhnou když zavoláme třetí kočku Miu...
V knížce co mám v šuplíku jsem pro kočku použila jméno "Dame Topiary Forges Her Armies On Moons", skráceně Top, inspirované Jmény co si Umělé Inteligence vybírají v Machine Mandate serii Benjanun Sridungkaewové, a upřímně je to pro mě největší prdel dát kočce dlouhé "pravé" jméno a pak jim říkat přezdívkou.
so, this is something i've noticed in fandom spaces and want to see how people ~generally~ feel regarding genderbends & genderswaps, especially if they are transgender themselves!
do character genderbends/genderswaps make you uncomfortable, and are you transgender?
i like genderbends and am transgender
i like genderbends and am cis
i dislike/am uncomfortable with genderbends and am transgender
i dislike/am uncomfortable with genderbends and am cis
if there's a reason for why you like/dislike genderbends please share in the tags, this is something that genuinely interests me
Cheat Code #2 for accommodating disabled characters in sci-fi/fantasy:
How you aid a disability depends on if it's a new development or had always existed.
i.e.: If someone's lost their legs to a griffin biting them off last week, giving them steampunk prosthetic legs is a good aid. There's something they can't do, that they very recently could, that they need to learn to work around. The prosthetic legs still need an adjustment period to learn how to use them, but your character knows how legs should work and can figure it out more easily.
If someone lost their legs because, as a child, they wandered away from the space field trip and got partially eaten by a carnivorous plant, then it depends. Prosthetic legs can technically work, but the longer the character was without legs, the harder it'll be to re-learn how to use them. You might want to go with bionic legs for short distances, but a hover chair for daily use.
If someone was born without legs, then prosthetic legs are more hindrance than they're worth. Your character has never had legs, and has no idea how they're supposed to work.
Imagine if you're in a world of centaurs; you're given prosthetic hind legs, and now expected to be able to climb up cliffs with the grace of a mountain goat. It's a whole new skill you'd have to learn, and you would get annoyed with it very fast; how are they supposed to sync with the legs you already have? How are you supposed to balance? You can't feel anything, you don't know how much space it occupies.
Someone who's always been disabled doesn't need the thing they were born without, they need aid that lets them do what everyone else can in a way they're familiar with. If your character has always been deaf, glasses with subtitles appearing on them are infinitely more useful than aids that let them hear, because hearing when you've always had silence is going to have a steep learning curve and be ridiculously overwhelming.
Your rule of thumb?
Note: This is different with very small children, because they're already learning how to use every part of them. If a toddler in your sci-fi was born without legs, they can be taught to use bionic legs at a very young age, but it has to start early or it'll run into the problems above.

using your law degree for evil (fucking over supernatural beings)
my mom loves to lie and like she always swears she was NEVER homophobic or anything to me as a child “i even have a gay work friend” but a really funny memory resurfaced recently where i asked if i could use birthday money i had to buy a rainbow flag when i was like ??? 7?? because i LOVED rainbows. and she said no that means something Evil and god will hate you . so what did i do. but ask my grandmom for a rainbow sweater for christmas and proceed to only wear that sweater for three years when it got cold because i didnt like the idea that god hated colors and i wanted to challenge him
normal 7 year old with religious trauma: oh no god can hear my thoughts and punish me
me: either you are wrong about god or god is wrong and i will fight him and i will be the one to find out
me at 7: he would not fucking say that
when your art program’s closing message hits you straight in the heart and makes you stop and contemplate the state of it all
because of the huge response to this post, I decided to make a version of the art that includes the text
I’ve also uploaded this design to INPRNT, and all sales proceeds will be donated to environmental and humanitarian charities!
this is still going around with the old dead links - please help me share this version
The sss style was just so perfect though. Like those 90s anime designs made it so the world of warriors was brought to life but the blood and fighting was stylized enough that it wasn't a complete dark gorey cat-stlevania but they could still make it dark and full of horror if they wanted to at any point. The perfect balance of violence and nostalgic whimsical charm
