quest to Erebor day 18. the dwarves get bored and decide to have a ‘nicest beard’ contest. as the only non-bearded party member they decide Bilbo has to be the judge as he’s the only one able to be impartial.

unbeknownst to them Bilbo judges the Hobbiton pie-making contest AND best garden contest AND pumpkin growing contest every year. he spends 3 hours judging all their beards on various metrics including length, softness and fanciness. by the time he declares Balin the winner they’re all kind of tired of it.

It says a lot about our society that vaccines are controversial but an injectable diabetes drug being used off label for weight loss was immediately accepted by everyone without a second thought

i listen to this podcast by two priests who talk about what life as a priest is like because I find their stories interesting, and one of the best moments was when the younger priest, baby priest we shall call him, absolutely lost it on the podcast because he had been preaching, then he saw someone do a full body sigh, shoulders up and down, then look at their watch, and then shoot baby priest a dirty look. Because priests are human too, this priest found it irritating on a human level, which, okay, I can see that--and then, he spent several minutes vehemently (and jokingly, but also, vehemently) proposing that Catholicism should update its rules so if anyone does that, the priest is allowed to come down from the altar and challenge the person to hand-to-hand combat. He argued that more people would come back to church if there was a chance of seeing the priest getting in a fistfight and in fact they might go to church multiple times a day. He stubbornly refused to allow exemptions for little old ladies. he was fully and passionately committed to the idea of Catholicism allowing priests to fistfight parishioners in the middle of mass, and I'm going to say it: i think he was right

We really went from "I would examine your food and drink more closely from now on" when recruiting Zevran to "An assassin took over our kitchen and sleeps in the larder and we're fine with that" with Lucanis, huh.

We still making art out here!! In spite of it all!!!

And the Alistair rework is (finally) done 🫠 This one gave me by far the most trouble. I had to rework the lighting which made me have to pretty much repaint his armor AND I made the original painting on the wrong color profile and had to spend forever color correcting when switching it over to the right one 🥲

The Zevran rework is also already in progress (and going much more smoothly lol)

alistair, alistair, the years pass and still not a single one of my real-life crushes can hold a candle to you

thinking two characters have had sex does not equal shipping at all… i dont have to like it i just know it happened

[imkerfuffled]

the thing about the way people go on and on about how smut and shipping ruins the ability to think about character or worldbuilding or whatever, is that this is inherently a skill issue. nothing better to tell you about a character and their most important internal neuroses (personal, social, cultural) than discovering how they like to fuck and who they want to fuck and the why of it all. such complainants should, rly speaking, read better smut.
