Past peoples in the Upper Mississippi Valley crafted lithic tools from many different types of stone, each with its own qualities. A wide range of raw materials were used, including varieties of chert, silicified sandstone (orthoquartzite), rhyolite, and sometimes quartz, like this projectile point from north-central Wisconsin. Multiple factors played into why people used certain types of stone, including availability, how easy they were to work, and the quality and kinds of tools that could be produced. This point has a notch in one edge but not the other. It might have been left unfinished due to issues with the quartz, which tends to break along fracture planes that can complicate knapping and final touches. The small size and general form of the point might indicate a later precontact time frame.

🌸 when the Hindriarch banished Eskhind and her kin from Bey Lah, Neelahind would follow her heart into voluntary exile. To abandon a surefooted life, as well as a coveted spot among the Fellowship, is nearly unheard of among both hindren and Wardens, but Neelahind was glowing when she took her leave. I hear the pair are quite happy together, practicing arconautics in the ruins to the west—at least, that's what the kendren bring news of when they come back to trade.
back at it again w more caves of qud deer gals 😏✨ i'm kind of enamored with the ending to the Bey Lah quest where Esk and Neela both take off, so i wanted to see what they'd look like as a matched set of lesbian pariah-arconauts. geez, i can’t believe it’s been almost two years since i drew them last
image descriptions under break!
img desc: A drawing of a hindren deerfolk girl from "Caves of Qud". On the left a title card reads "Pariah Neelahind (she/her)". Some of the details are labeled. Her fur is a rich cedar red, with a lighter heartwood underbelly curling under her arms and on the inside of her legs down to her hooves; her curly hair is dark mahogany, tied back in a ponytail with a sky-blue bandana; her antlers are a pale heartswood, deepening to a rich velvet at the tines. She’s smiling, looking up and off to her right; she's poised upright, her arms spread to either side of her as she grips the haft of her war-scythe Yal, which is laying across her shoulders. She’s wearing shining steel platemail—a breastplate over a nanoweave surcoat patterned with pale lemon slices over pink (called "Pink Lemonade"); her armor is incomplete, but well taken care of. She’s wearing leather braces, a steel gauntlet on her left hand only, and a woven blue sash and bedroll across her back.
img desc: A drawing of a hindren deerfolk girl from "Caves of Qud". On the right a title card reads "Pariah Eskhind (she/it)". Some of the details are labeled. Her fur is ashen, with her pale undercoat spotting through on her forearms and flanks. Her messy hair is a greenish bleach-blonde, and one of her ears has a hole in it; her antlers are pale and their velvet is darker grey, and they're covered in little tied-on charms and brass tine hornaments. She has an eyepatch over her left eye, and a gap between her front teeth. She's grinning, slouching in a relaxed fashion, pulling back her hood with one hand and flashing a rock-on with the other; her front two legs are crossed, while the back two are spread like she's posing for a picture. She's wearing a well-worn chainmail hauberk, which extends down over her back; a ragged cowl, with buttoned slots along the hem of the hood for her antlers to fit through; a leather bracer on her left wrist, a steel pauldron on her right shoulder, a fingerless elastyne glove on her right hand, and two pairs of croccasins on her hooves. A pocketed saddle is slung over her back, along with a backpack and bedroll; on either side, the pockets are full of tools and bits. Tucked into her swordbelt is a sheathed folding carbide longsword and a gaslight kris; slung across her chest is a bolt-action rifle called "Peashooter" (it has a lesbian flag on its stock). Around her legs are several beaded bracelets and charms; one of them is the rightfully reclaimed Kindrish, complete with its carved deer charm.
#polyart#caves of qud#fanart#cervitaur#eskhind#neelahind#i actually kin neela really hard lol#i like drawing her being confident n happy even if she's apparently in more dangerous n unsure situations#something something transgender#esk is right at home tho she's such an adrenaline junkie#fun lil details include#the waxing crescent gorget neela's using as a makeshift pauldron#that's a badge of office for the fellowship#no point in flaunting it anymore#“escaupil” actually refers to a kind of woven armor used by the mexica back during the time of the conquest#it was really thickly woven cotton armor that was soaked in brine to harden it even further#it was really good at deflecting arrows n other projectiles#i like the idea of a nanoweave escaupil#in stark contrast to the iron plate and chainmail worn by the conquistadores#and marrying the old traditional forms of the hindren with the retrofuture aesthetics of arconauts#esk isn't actually missing an eye#she's just operating on pirate logic#in case she needs to go into a dark hole somewhere she flips the patch n has nightvision#she's silly like that#also peashooter is a spara exclusive ofc#she's an absolutely terrible shot tho

"I don't miss!"
I,, might've gotten a little carried away with gravhammer Donut, ya know, just a smidge
local artist not immune to putting their favorite in vaguely god-like finery
#it doesnt count as a new wip if u finish it in one sitting right?#the robe felt like the right choice and not a just as a way to hide the parts of his legs i wasnt happy with#rvb#red vs blue#rvb donut#franklin delano donut#my boy#batsy art#my art#history of the world voice: you could make a religion out of this!#i genuinely did not intend to do a piece like this today but sometimes u just get possessed and draw something in like 3.5 hours#and at that point it just needs to be released into the world#alt title: “Uhh hey whats your dodge key?”#donut uses the hammer the way guild wars 2 revs use a hammer#that is to say: long range projectile weapon#get fucking SMACKED

honestly does anyone else think that the what:if routes are perhaps telling us that some sort of collision between subaru and reinhard is just inevitable in nearly every route
#re:zero#my game theory. i mean. light novel theory... is that somewhere somehow down the line subaru will have to face reinhard#and when that happens he will be his worst obstacle yet like in most alt routes#made worse by their relationship at this point#but also maybe perhaps UNLIKE in all the alt routes something will be different#and i dont mean that in a good way. im thinking maybe subaru could finally figure out The Trick to beating the strongest man alive#somehow.#and it might involve garfiel based on some stuff thats been foreshadowed who knows#what exactly would beating entail though? he cant die bc of the divine protection of the phoenix#but that being said if he somehow had all his divine protections taken away i mean... hed actually be relatively weak imo#his body would still probably remember how to move like a sword saint (like therisia's did in arc 5)#but like that can also be a bad thing like#would his body perhaps also forget that he has to ACTUALLY DODGE PROJECTILES bc they wont just magically miss him anymore?#will he try to walk on water only to sink like an idiot?#will he not check the label on the sugar only to find out its salt?#either way he wouldnt be the strongest man alive anymore hed just be a skilled swordsmen. julius could probably match him at that point#which im sure would be surreal to juli after years of admiration+envy+being gay about it

Zane's self-sacrificing ass really jumped in front of Wu at the sight of Garmadon like he was blocking a bullet. I need to study his brain why is he like that.
#the fact that there were zero guns or projectile weapons present#and in fact at this point in time no one had even tried using guns or projectile weapons against them#not even like a bow and arrow#he's such a strange man#ninjago#ninjago s1#zane#zane julien

not to be in delusional land but i was thinking of quicksilver's potential kit in rivals and i kinda snorted at the idea of him having that 'pistol shrimp snap' thing he does in Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver and him only being able to do it once per match or something on account of fucking up his fingers
#marvel rivals#snap chats#area man reads One (1) comic that has QS as a prominent figure and goes bonkers OK... whatever...#sorry i just thought this was gen a cool thing he did. i love pistol shrimp .... and science ....#his fingers dont even get fucked up that bad tbh im makin it sound worse than it is#like he doesnt break his fingers i just imagine doing that more than once in like a five min time span cant be fun... like... ow...#sorry ive been thinking of my beautiful son as of late... is this because of sonic idk im just sayin gravity got them both POINT IS#like imagine 😭 fuck up his fingers the rest of the game Excellent Gambit Sir. You Have Killed No One.#maybe they could give him metal finger guards or something ...... actually thats a terrible idea ...#uhhhh maybe just some really durable gloves ...... idk that boy needs some kind of projectile ... at least one right ...#'why need a projectile if youre fast as hell' because this is a SHOOTEr and we need at least ONE THING to SHOOT#ok bye ...

This Durst point base came from a lithic scatter in Rusk County, Wisconsin. It is made of quartz, as were many of the other stone artifacts from the site. Even though the tip and a good portion of the blade are missing, the length of the stem and how it expands or widens slightly toward the base help to classify it as a Late Archaic Durst point, about 3,000 years old. The remaining portion is 22.94 mm (9/10 inch) long, 13.20 mm (just over 1/2 inch) wide at its maximum width, and 7.65 mm (3/10 inch) thick, and weighs 3.1 grams (about 1/10 of an ounce. The stem, where it would have been hafted to a shaft, is 12.50 mm (just under 1/2 inch) long.

There is a very specific sort of antisemitism that is seemingly common in mental health facilities and its fucking terrifying
#the last 2 times ive been in a mental hospital it was always the most visibly jewish person who got targeted by nurses#and i happened to be the most visibly jewish person in a psychward the last time#its like. the 1st time there were more jewish people in there and the one of us who got it the worst was an older woman with bipolar disord#and like. many of us who noticed how terrible she was getting treated had to tell staff off multiple times#like wtf stop u r literally just poking her with a stick at this point trying to get her to have a meltdown so u have an excuse#to lock her away#it was so fucked#and the rest of us jews in there were like... slightly more stable enough to ignore the taunting from staff#like they'd find the smallest shit to get on our asses about or tell us we're being delusional abt things out of nowhere#like they tried to get a rise out of us specifically so they could frame us as crazy and neurotic when we get frustrated#and the last time i had the mosfortune of being the 1 of 2 jews who was visible and very unstable#i was made sick by nurses on purpose and then gaslit when i was up all night vomiting#i had to be given an injection and sedated the next day just so i would stop projectile vomiting all over my room#i had multiple seizures and they told.me i was throwing myself on the floor#they did things to make me break on purpose#and they did it to others to but#it was different w how they did it to me?#and when they didn't let me go to the main eating area bc i kept fainting/seizing they ordered me shit with pork when i have kosher diet#it was fucked and i know this is a problem#its a problem in outpatient too#i ended up homeless for like a year bc an antisemitic counselor fucked me over#vent

would i be better at hanging my washing on my diagonal washing lines (string tied around my room) if i was a physicist. they do strings right?
#closest i did was mechanics in further maths and i refuse to go there again i hate projectiles#this is all angles and stuff so maybe i'd be okay but yknow#at what point does the washing line release itself from behind the corner of the mirror and fall to the ground#what is the maximum mass i can put on the string. yknow#rrrramblings

Just curious, do you find P-1 or P-2 harder overall?
Definitely P-2. My 1st attempt on P-1 is 60 minutes while P-2 was 85 minutes.
I struggle with bosses alot over gauntlets. But P-2's gauntlets are set in tiny rooms compared to the cybergrind so when i blow things up i still get caught in the fray.
And i genuinely cant do those... 'kill bosses before they kill me' kinds of set ups. And with 2 hp bars, it means i had to witstand Sisyphus longer than Minos. I had to get out of my way to learn when to parry his attacks just so i don't lose too much hp.
So if Minos had a gauntlet like P-2 did before his boss. I would still struggle with Sisyphus more than him.
#me when the mindfrayers blue bullet hits me out of nowhere#me when i projectile boost point blank and dieded#me when i dont know Sisyphus' parry timing#lyssten to my rambles
