Also yes they did wear sunscreen. Just not in the way most people think of it today. But people in extremely sunny areas have been wearing light fabric but long sleeved and full pants, or smearing mud on their skin for millennia.
Yes, your ancestors had more ozone layer, and yes, your ancestors did have skin cancer, but ALSO they did wear “sunscreen” just not the kind in a bottle from Walmart.
ttrpg player pro tip- just tell your GM when you have a plot in mind for your character. Ask for events to happen. Walk up and say “I want my evil brother to show up and be a huge fight and I try to save him from himself.” Your GM will ADORE having a whole encounter outlined for her, you’ll get to have an awesome scene play out, you’ll be invested, your GM will be invested, it’ll be memorable. Hopefully, just don’t be foreceful.
The idea that you and your GM will be able to like, psychically intuit each other’s ideas for character arcs is bullshit. This is a collaborative relationship; communicate!!
Also get comfortable undoing shit if you’re the DM. If you made an off-hand comment that didn’t fit the world you want to weave or if you realized an event would have long-term consequences you don’t want. You can just pause and tell everyone “wait I changed my mind, forget I said that! it didn’t happen.” and go back to the previous scene.
Ultimately ttrpgs should be a fun play time; ask yourself if you’re following invisible rules, and if those rules help or hinder your game experience.
apparently this has to be said but there’s a difference between talking to your DM about potential plot threads and character motivation and giving them a 10 page outline
very common problem with the idea of an “artist discord” is that the optimal number of active participants in a fully art-focused community isn’t a triple digit number, but like… 12. anything past that and people either start fighting for attention or clam up and don’t have smalltalk ime
my rule of thumb here is that if it’s a number of people that would make going into a small cafe off-putting, it’s a number of people that would turn an art-focused space into a socialisation-focused space (or in the worst case scenario, make a portion of the community interact with it as a popularity contest)
crucially, if it’s a place where people start keeping track of how many emoji reactions their sketches get and caring a lot about that, you’ve passed an event horizon
not to be earnest and sincere but using this site really is starting to feel like a genuinely unique and enjoyable experience compared to most other social media apps and how they operate now. and i think all of the cringe i used to feel at still being on tumblr after all these years is turning into unabashed fondness for the people and the environment on here
for all my artists, content creators, and anyone else out there who use specific color palettes for references/designs, here are the hex codes for each of the lgbtq flags for your queer creative purposes. i hope you find these useful. enjoy!
Here’s to all the shockingly single bachelor uncles or the two very close friends who just happened to be girls and are only living together until one of them finds a man (they lived together for forty two years).
as a completely cis dude, I would press this button immediately, without question. There are a lot of things I would do for money, but shit I’d do this for like 20 bucks… maybe less?
She said with all too much confidence
A DAY!?!?!?
I cannot stress to you how hard this post broke containment. There are like 600 people that decided to follow me over the course of a day and now there are so many people sending me love and support in my inbox that I’m having a really hard time responding to all of them. Every time I look away from my notifs, I look back, and I have like 99+ new notifs like wtf!
Being transmasc for me means being hated for my masculinity by the broader world because it’s gender nonconformity AND by my own community because it’s considered more inherently dangerous than femininity. Just say you want me to be a cis woman too
Someday I want to watch one of those DIY repair videos where some southern guy is fixing his washer or dryer and filming on phone camera with no cuts, and then it goes “next you need to apply tension to the belt, using this spring… And our sponsor Raid: Shadow Legends!”
really fun duo you have there. mind if i add arbitrary roles to their relationship dynamic so i can write one of them as an overprotective caretaker and the other as a naive helpless baby?

the urge to make ocs of a god and their special little mortal (soldier? priest? jester?) so i can put them in situations (healthy relationship) (ritual sacrifice)

It’s so funny to me that it’s possible to have verbal misunderstandings with animals.
This morning I made Ripley (a parrot) a foraging toy, as I often do before I leave for work, by putting a bunch of paper shreds in an old tea box with some peanuts and dried cherries. He hadn’t touched it by the time I came home so when he was wandering around the living room restlessly looking for something to do I picked up the box and told him “hey, there’s a peanut in here. You can get it out” and then I went back to my office.
After a couple minutes, he walked through the kitchen to where I was sitting at my desk and looked up at me and whispered “I get peanut?”
I said, “Buddy. I think you misunderstood me. The peanut is still in the box.”
He tapped his beak on the floor, said “oh” in a really disappointed tone, and then helpfully suggested, “I step up get a peanut?”
