"Do you ever dream of land?" The whale asks the tuna.

"No." Says the tuna, "Do you?"

"I have never seen it." Says the whale, "but deep in my body, I remember it."

"Why do you care," says the tuna, "if you will never see it."

"There are bones in my body built to walk through the forests and the mountains." Says the whale.

"They will disappear." Says the tuna, "one day, your body will forget the forests and the mountains."

"Maybe I don't want to forget," Says the whale, "The forests were once my home."

"I have seen the forests." Whispers the salmon, almost to itself.

"Tell me what you have seen," says the whale.

"The forests spawned me." Says the salmon. "They sent me to the ocean to grow. When I am fat with the bounty of the ocean, I will bring it home."

"Why would the forests seek the bounty of the oceans?" Asks the whale. "They have bounty of their own."

"You forget," says the salmon, "That the oceans were once their home."

The Dungeons & Dragons paladin is objectively the funniest class because at first glance it seems like an artefact of an earlier age of the fantasy genre for which contemporary inspirations are thin on the ground, but then you dig into its thematic core and realise there are contemporary popular media characters who almost perfectly fit the mould, but like 80% of them are deeply unwell teenage lesbians.

💖rumi and her demonic traits 💖

more thoughts behind her phases as well her teeth;

rumi's (sharp) teeth / fangs reference:

rumi's demonic forms (including the fangs above ofc):

the first phase is rumi's totally normal teeth and one she usually wears when out in public, greeting fans, and on stages. it's a little fang rather than regular canines. Pretty comfortable, and the most normal looking one. for her hands, it's just normal. that's it. but her ears are kinda sharp but not that long like the others.

the second phase is- well- her canines are growing and started to curve. it's also the same phase as that drawing above where zoey is examining her teeth (this is also inspired by these arts of just rumi showing her teeth and her gfs just. examining her teeth sdhjgsdhj).

just like the first phase, it's still comfortable, and well. she can bite. big win for zoemira! and her arms gain a bit of demon skin from her heritage, and her nails are sure growing longer. mira compliments on it and rumi is dying under the sun that is mira. oh and her ears get a little more longer. this is the form she is the most comfortable with (after a long while of just getting used to it) but its only ever seen at home. zoey and mira are so lucky. oh yea! her demonic eye is on the left eye, the same place back in the movie. it's meant to show this is her semi-demon form.

the third phase is rarer, her canines are much more longer, and she's a lot more demonic and bigger. she only ever transform into this phase when she sees her girlfriends in trouble (or close to dying) and so she enters protective girlfriend mode. she can techincally transform in that form but... she really hates that it's uncomfortable having her teeth like that even through her girls does point that it's just as hot as the rest of her forms. its embrassing nice. but again, she only ever use it when she really needed it.

I don’t know how to embed a video on here, but this quote so poetically explained a concept I couldn’t put into words.

i think the near-extinction of people making fun, deep and/or unique interactive text-based browser games, projects and stories is catastrophic to the internet. i'm talking pre-itch.io era, nothing against it.

there are a lot of fun ones listed here and here but for the most part, they were made years ago and are now a dying breed. i get why. there's no money in it. factoring in the cost of web hosting and servers, it probably costs money. it's just sad that it's a dying art form.

anyway, here's some of my favorite browser-based interactive projects and games, if you're into that kind of thing. 90% of them are on the lists that i linked above.

A Better World - create an alternate history timeline

Alter Ego - abandonware birth-to-death life simulator game

Seedship - text-based game about colonizing a new planet

Sandboxels or ThisIsSand - free-falling sand physics games

Little Alchemy 2 - combine various elements to make new ones

Infinite Craft - kind of the same as Little Alchemy

ZenGM - simulate sports

Tamajoji - browser-based tamagotchi

IFDB - interactive fiction database (text adventure games)

Written Realms - more text adventure games with a user interface

The Cafe & Diner - mystery game

The New Campaign Trail - US presidential campaign game

Money Simulator - simulate financial decisions

Genesis - text-based adventure/fantasy game

Level 13 - text-based science fiction adventure game

Miniconomy - player driven economy game

Checkbox Olympics - games involving clicking checkboxes

BrantSteele.net - game show and Hunger Games simulators

Murder Games - fight to the death simulator by Orteil

Cookie Clicker - different but felt weird not including it. by Orteil.

if you're ever thinking about making a niche project that only a select number of individuals will be nerdy enough to enjoy, keep in mind i've been playing some of these games off and on for 20~ years (Alter Ego, for example). quite literally a lifetime of replayability.
