[guy who keeps dying and coming back voice] Why does everyone look so upset lol

Helpful PSA for all the hip young teens out there:

Be careful posting your real name on the internet (remember you can always use a pseudonym).

Be careful posting images of your face on the internet (Google is free, the internet is forever, and you never know what people may do with an image).

Be careful posting stories about your real life and change names/locations if you do.

Strangers don't need to know your medical history.

Strangers don't need to know your mental health history.

Strangers don't need to know your kinks.

Strangers don't need to know your triggers.

I know internet safety isn't pushed as hard on kids these days as it was in the 90s but that doesn't mean it's any less important. You can have fun and make friends on the internet while still protecting yourself.

((I haven't posted for a while but I have managed to keep up with work and IRL projects and my health, which I feel is a little miraculous in these Interesting Times.

I have a few sessions of notes for the Quarantine D&D tag that I need to get queued, and we added a new player after one (Lex's player) had to step out to focus on IRL events (it's alright though - Lex gets to be a powerful lesbian pirate queen until further notice).

I deeply appreciate everyone who's still hanging around this little ol' blog, and I promise drafts, asks, and thread responses will be coming soon.))

"At least four." Michael paused in thought. "Maybe six if you want to be generous with it."

"At what point do near-death experiences just become.. Regular experiences.. Is there a limit on how many I can have before I gotta call it regular?"

Random words of positivity: If you ever feel left out or ignored in your rpc, whether it's indie or fandom, there will always be at least one person who enjoys writing with you. Focus on those who give you a good feeling. Focus on those who are genuienly interested in your muse and building stories. You don't need hundreds of followers or countless of likes on something. Popular blogs are not always happier than you. If you love writing, keep on. After a low, you will experience a high again. Just remember, be a good person, treat others with respect, learn to communicate and especially, don't be an asshole. Writing is not a job! Don't steal from other people, don't steal graphics, don't steal muses, don't steal starters and don't conceal it behind "inspiration" or "coincidence". Writing is about creativity and a hobby that should make you happy.

"Muffins with berries, eh? I've got plenty of those." Michael set the basket down on the edge of the table, mindful of the papers Viola had spread about. "I had some trouble sleeping last night, so I decided that if I was going to be awake anyway, I might as well bake.

"It didn't help me sleep, but it saved the opening kitchen crew about two hours of work."

Happy Sentences, Vol. 2

"I can't turn off a natural talent~" The Yuan-Ti's forked tongue poked out of her mouth in a cheeky 'grin' as she let her voice fall back into her normal tones, rather than a (lovingly) mocking mimicry of their mutual friend's. "Buuuut I suppose I could give the comedy a rest before he hears me."

((Slowly reminding myself that I have an animation degree and thus, with this kitbashing feature, have all the skills I need to pose my OCs however the fuck I want.))

"I bet my dad can beat up your dad!"

((HeroForge's kitbashing feature (in alpha) lets you add other models you've made as an extra on the base and THEN scale them up or down as you see fit.

So, naturally, I used it to make a size comparison between Michael and the mysterious patron that he hasn't technically re-met in blog canon yet.))

((I wish the lighting options in the share feature worked per-model tho. The Taker looks so intimidating here but Michael...oof. XD))
