Snowy morning in the Forgotten Vale

[squidaddle]

Just so other nerds know - Nerevarine's outfit is inspired by Babylonian clothing and golden leaves on his head are partially inspired by Puabi's headpiece. She was a queen or a priestess in the city of Ur. This city's patron deity, or one might say the Ur's divine ruler was Nanna (in Sumerian) or Sin (in accadian), a moon god, both the anthropomorphic deity and the moon itself. Fun little coincidence - i've named my first and only Nerevarine of 8+ years ''Moon" long ago, before i even knew what's happening in the game, bc i adore the Moon and her symbolizm. ALSO ALSO…. Sin/Nanna was punishing oathbreakers by skin diseases which reminds me of the Azura changing dunmer's skin color to grey. Ash of Nerevarine's skin is cracked to reveal the gold inside - his past life shines through him. Anyways i've put a lot of care into this one and as a result it's still the best drawing i've ever made imo

was it casual when brynjolf went searching everywhere for the player character after he was presumably told that they were dead

reminder that donating just a few $ to gofundme campaigns actually helps, you don't have to donate huge amounts if you don't have the funds, every little bit is useful. give $10, $5, even $1. it all adds up. don't scroll past because you think you can't help. help in your own capacity. donate a dollar. share and speak up.

[squidaddle]

Figured quick gem render recipe for myself, sharing bc why not

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

How to start your own save file (+ LOTS of tips, advice & mods) by Amelie

Watch Video Here

1.Pick your save file

Empty Save (personal favorite)

Simlicy's Save

Lilsimsie's Save

2. Take inspiration from real worlds i.e. New Orleans for Willow Creek, New England for Brindleton Bay. Find a theme/style for each world to make it cohesive.

More examples would be:

San Sequoia | San Francisco

Windenburg | Germany & Austria

Sulani | Tahiti

San Myshuno | New York (atleast part of it)

Oasis Springs | Arizona

Henford on Bagley | English Countryside

Mt. Komorebi | Japan

Del Sol Valley | Los Angeles

Tartosa | Italy

3. Finding beautiful builds on the gallery | tips & showcase in video

Video of my favorite gallery builds

Some lots I have in my save file

My favorite gallery creators (scroll down)

4. Map Replacements

5. Tool Mod

Used to further customize your save file & add cars, trees, etc.

Can also be used to change apartment windows

Tutorial

6. No random townies Mod

Prevents the game from further spawning and generating townies

Make sure to have enough unemployed sims that can fill npc jobs such as waiters, baristas, etc.

7. Sim spawn overhaul Mod

Sims only show up in their own residential worlds

Adds realism and doesn't break immersion

Mom, I’m being Autistic on main

I am such a slut for worldbuilding and lore, and ATLA has some of the best of both worlds in that department.

I literally cannot get enough of the in-depth-ness of the bending world; like the concept of there being two main civilizations of waterbenders (the tribes at the poles, and the benders of the foggy swamp) and they literally cannot get MORE different. Bending the water inside the plants??? Incorporating the moon and tides with the culture and practice??? BLOODBENDING????? Shit has me foaming at the mouth

I’m haven’t even gotten into the whole earthbending/sandbending thing either,,, it’s the same concept!! Two sides of the same coin, the same element bent and used in ways that make it almost unrecognizable to the other side. And do sandbenders have any waterbending influence?? I would imagine it wouldn’t move as a solid substance, right??

AND how lavabending wouldn’t necessarily be only earthbending or firebending, because it has heavy roots in both elements??? And GLASS???¿¿ if Toph and Zuko got their field trip they would have figured out lavabending and make glass sculptures no shot

ANYWAY the reason I was making this post is because I had a concept; similar to lavabending, how would permafrost work??

I see in lots of fics the idea of “what if Toph had been in the North Pole with the gaang” and i have So Many Thoughts about it

It seems to be the general consensus that she would be blind up there; having no earth beneath her feet making it impossible for her to see. BUT are the poles in the avatar universe similar to the poles in our world? The real North Pole is literally just a giant slab of ice floating on top of the Arctic Ocean, but I have reason to believe that this isn’t the case for the ATLAverse.

Evidence: the Spirit Oasis.

How could the whole continent be only ice if the epicenter of it is an island?? Therefore, my conclusion is that the North Pole in the Avatar universe is not like the real North Pole, it’s like the pieces of land that surround the arctic circle; the ground is permafrozen.

If that’s the case, what’s to say Toph couldn’t figure out glacier-bending?

Give her 5 minutes and an encounter with Pakku. Watch it happen.
