My paladin, emerging from a week of fasting and sleepless prayer to overcome wavering conviction and vow anew to protect her home from multiple impending evils despite her self doubts (aka she reached lvl8 and changed her fighting style to Blessed Warrior- but that sounds boring)
I haven’t kept up with CR since campaign 2 but seeing people upset over a decision in a recent episode really has me glad my games aren’t televised to thousands of people with parasocial relationships w me and my characters 😬
As horrific and absurd as some of the interactions can be, tt is an an environment where people aren’t afraid to leave a weird little comment screaming about what they like. That and tumbley wumbley seem like the only unpaid places left for artists to have any interactions
@itsginnydi I imagined Gale and I having a nice friendly dinner together instead of smooching or holding hands in the first weave scene and now we’re besties and he called me over on his suicide watch picnic
I would rather look at 1 million stick figures drawn by people who have never picked up a pencil than 1 more overly smoothed uncanny valley A/I nightmare from some dude who “worked really hard” putting words into a box to smash other artists work together. It’s that simple.
Wyll not having enough romance scenes and Astarion having more because his story is based on seducing you as a survival tactic with two very different possible outcomes at the end can both be true simultaneously

As much as I wanted to hug him I like the option of opening your mind to Astarion to show you care for him during his confession. He offers his hand to you first after literally reading your mind so he has no doubts and trusts your intentions 🥹
I am SO fortunate to have the time to spend on my craft outside of what I do to pay bills. But that shouldn’t be a luxury and the fact that we’re just supposed to accept that is ICKY
E*tsy being full of drop shippers and stolen art; AI generated/enhanced bs images taking over search engine results and stock websites, A.mazon full of direct to print AI written sloppy “novels” with AI image covers- all because $$ is valued over human creativity and compensation
I wish we didn’t live in a world where you have to trade hours of your limited time here for the ability to feed your body, get medicine if something goes wrong, and idk maybe actually enjoy most of our time. Sad artist hours 🥲
It has been pointed out to me (multiple times) that I forgot the "b" in lamentable because I am not immune to even hand written typos so add that in there if you want it spelled correctly on your body
Btw, while I wouldn’t get it myself I personally don’t take issue with people getting his scar tattooed. The act of choosing it for yourself can be a reminder of carrying something heavy with you and still pushing on. These are a just a little less…literal
Anything I draw w/o refs is usually just something I’ve gotten more of a muscle memory based visual of if that makes sense? Idk, the more I think about it the more I feel like I’m talking in circles but POiNt IS: we all literally see things differently, be kind ❤️
Random side note, since Aphantasia discourse is going around: I can’t visualize images that I can actually see, just vague ideas. References are vital for me, I couldn’t even draw my cat’s face from memory and I stare at him 1000 hrs a day lmao
