A Repost, AKA I ramble about OCs and Flowers!!

(Originally shared on Twitter and I refuse to call it by any other name)

I'm bored & I have a neat book. Time to share some character things & flower meanings. Hehehe D&D OCs first, so here we go!!

(The art was made by my wonderful DM @EzfiBuilds)

Aderyn Táhorua Moira'Fay, my human Battle Master Fighter + a homebrew class I couldn't explain well.

Her flower? Forget-Me-Nots. Meaning: I will not forget you, Don't forget me, Speak up, Memories, & Remembrance

La’ruenäa “La’rue” Ejder, formally Wicca. My human collage of Sorrows (Homebrew class) bard.

Her flower? Lavender. Meaning: Cleansing, Protection, Grace, Trust, I admire you

Akiko Akiyama, my Silver Dragonborn Way of the Ascendant Dragon Monk.

Her flower? Magnolias. Meaning: Wisdom, Acceptance, Strength, Changes, I will always love you

And I'll possibly have more in the future. Now I go be a hermit for a time

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

www.bioline.org.br is a library of scientific bioscience journals published in developing countries.

http://repec.org - volunteers from 102 countries have collected almost 4 million publications on economics and related science.

www.science.gov is an American state search engine on 2200+ scientific sites. More than 200 million articles are indexed.

www.pdfdrive.com is the largest website for free download of books in PDF format. Claiming over 225 million names.

www.base-search.net is one of the most powerful researches on academic studies texts. More than 100 million scientific documents, 70% of them are free

I LIVE!!!!

Here's some art I managed to finish that's one of my D&D characters.

This one is my Human, yes human, Collage of Sorrows (Homebrew) Bard named La’ruenäa or La’rue for short. After a time-skip/end of my group's first campaign.

I'm honestly hoping during our current game, we get to run into familiar NPCs and PCs since in-game it's been about 15 years, so this is them 15 years later.

And... no, I honestly rather be asked than ramble off about La'rue but there is a reason why they have wings

I'm stuck on a boss in Baldurs Gate 3, so I made a meme for myself. It's not the funniest, but it does make me chuckle a bit.

Its already sold but omg the cuteness, I have to share the cuteness!

just a lil guy. you can adopt them for $75 (or best offer) if you want to.

quick TOS (link in replies) overview: - personal, non-commercial use only. - you can trade or resell for equal or lesser value (value can be added through additional art, etc). - you can make any changes you want. - no holds.

payment would be via invoice through paypal.

Destiny OCs, Myosotis "Myo" and Oenothera "Oeno"

And not in armor cause I still suck at that, at some point, maybe. Really happy, though, with my design for Oeno's shell and how Myo's clothing came out
