Surprise! Tumblr just got turned into an epic fantasy RPG, just like [your favorite appropriate media franchise]. And the Tumblr RPG's plot needs to have all of its characters covered, in roles both large and small.
That means that you are assigned to a stereotypical RPG role inside our new fantasy world. Spin this wheel to find out what you are now doing for a living.

DnD gems, vol. 95.
PC1: "I act as if I have a phone in hand." DM: "They don't exist yet!" PC2: "He just made them up!"
PC1: "Why are you looking at me with question marks in your eyes?" PC2: "You asked us 'what is this?' without showing us the object you just picked up!"
DM: "You can talk with anyone anywhere with the magic stone." PC1: "Let's tell the quest giver we're done here!" PC2: "And what about your boyfriend?" PC1: "First things first, then you give the stone to me and I will talk with him all day and night!"
DM: "You see four skulls around the magic circle, and a lot of papers on the desk nearby." PC: "I kick one of the skulls, then look around the desk for useful scrolls!"
DM: "The brain of the dead looks blended." PC1: "So mind flayers like shakes too?" PC2: "Yes, a nice whipped brain smoothie…"
PC1: "Mr. Vampire, can I sleep in your bed?" PC2: "I think he has a coffin."
PC1: "We just found my vampire boyfriend! Guys, go out and leave us to DISCUSS stuff for an hour!" PC2: "Ah, you have important stuff to DISCUSS, right?!" PC3: "Don't become a vampire!" PC1: "This is not Twilight!"
DM: "PC1 rejoins you after an hour of TALKING with her boyfriend." PC1: "And I look very happy!"
PC: "I ask the bartender for information about the serial killer." Bartender: "I don't remember anything." PC: "I drop a gold coin on the table and say 'Maybe this will jog your memory?'" Bartender: "My mind is still a little foggy." PC: "I hand him a pumpkin, these don't grow in the Underdark!" DM: "He seems insanely happy and tells you everything!"
PC: "I pee in the water while standing on the pier, might accidentally hit the murderer hiding under the surface." DM: "You hear something approaching and…" PC: "I finish my business and retreat."

^^^ The dedication in fantasy author Larry Correia's upcoming book Heart of the Mountain which is the final installment in his six volume series Saga of the Forgotten Warrior.
Obviously a mild dig at GRRM's stalled work on the last two volumes of ASoIaF.
The two authors have had a rivalry for years.
h/t: Wiki of Thrones.

DnD gems, vol. 94.
DM: "PC1, stop inventing words." PC2: "But he's a mage!"
DM: "The evil djinni asks you for a gold coin." PC1: "Oh, I just hand one to him!" PC2: "I jump at PC1 and block him throwing him to the ground!"
PC1: "The map says 'gold vein'! Let's go mine it!" PC2: "Um, PC1, it says 'Gold Vein, a little rough, but makes the best whisky in town’." PC1: "Damn, stupid name for a tavern!"
PC1: "PC2, these monsters are like steel Hulks! How the hell do you think we could shove them around?!"
PC1: "Someone attract the monster over here! PC2, PC3, PC4 or I could do it!" PC4: "YOU do it then!!!"
DM: "Guys, would you be somewhat afraid if you're standing around LAVA FLOWS inside an ACTIVE VOLCANO?!"
PC1: "I move closer to the enemy…" PC2: "I try to stop PC1!" PC3: "Oh come on, this is totally in-character for her!"
PC1: "I shoot the enemy's leg!" (critical fumble) PC2: "Aww…" PC3: "What, did you hit PC2 by accident?!"
PC1: "To attract the enemy, PC2, just create an illusion of a suffering dwarf on the ground! That robot won't call reinforcements just for a dying dwarf!" PC3: "I doubt they'll even CARE about a dying dwarf!"
PC: "Creatures of the Abyss? You mean from deep under the sea?"
PC1: "Sorry guys, aren't you SLIGHTLY bothered by four sentient skulls doing an infernal ritual in the security chamber we're supposed to reach?!" PC2: "Relax, we have some time, we'll interrupt them before they summon some f***er!"
DM: "The skulls fall to the ground." PC1: "I pick one up!" PC2: "What the f*** are you doing?!" PC1: "I hold the skull, then look at PC2 and say 'to be or not to be?'."
DM: "You can use this mechanism to command and control the steel golems, and even turn them off." PC: "Mass suicide! Throw yourselves into the lava!"
PC1: "I am drunk, but not stupid!" PC2: "Just try not to fall off the bridge now that you're staggering."
DM: "A mind flayer appears." PC: "I attack him! OCTOPUS SALAD!!!"

Someone has dropped everything when they got that update email. Your work has made someone happy and you do it *in your spare time*. You're awesome. End ID.]

Peach Blossoms
Tumblr media
MDZS Commission.
'The peach blossoms, in a lush cluster, they bloom for no master. Were the deep red ones more adorable, or the light pink ones?'
I like create drawings that tell a story. Please consider commission me if you like this idea. I'm interested in drawing Chinese themed paintings. Feel free to check out my portfolio at https://vgen.co/Purlpurl/portfolio

Ruth Belville sold the time. She set her clock by the Greenwich Clock in London then charged a fee for looking at her watch. Her father and mother, John Henry and Maria Elizabeth, established the business in 1856, just as standard time became important for maintaining railway schedules. Ruth continued the work until 1940. Near the end of her career, her clients were mostly clockmakers.
(pictured Maria Elizabeth Belville, 1892)

I love this picture so much! Post it whenever I come across it.
Mongolian Girl Has a Laugh with her Camel.
The little girl’s name is Butedmaa and she was just 5 when this picture was taken in 2003 by photographer Han Chengli, who titled it “Inner Mongolian Child”.
