What is the situation with @anti-wizard-council ??

okay fine.

So some guy with anti-magic shows up and wants to kill all wizards and the gang fucks with him for a while, fallow hangs out with him, basically we just try to get him to Not™

He goes into a big god-killing maze with fallow an after various encounters he throws em of a podium bc they were fuckin with him. then he opens a box and Entropy Itself™ comes out and starts murdering people bc apparently entropy is fucking inssane

my uncle was a shepherd

Sheperds and wizards share a common ancestor! - Thesis

It's believed that the closest relative of the wizard (Magus turrim) is the witch (Magus venefica)... However, after much analysis of the species of Shepherds, I believe it is the closest relative to Wizard, and should be renamed Magus Pastores.

As a reminder, let's pass through the traits considered as representative of the Magus genus :

Hat

Symbiotic relationship with another animal (sometimes referred as familiar)

Said familiar is enhanced intellectually to perform tasks for the Magus sp.

Use of staff

Aside from that, wizard also typically sport a beard...

Now, if we look at a typical sheperd, they show similar traits :

Notice the presence of a hat, a staff, and a familiar (dog)... Shepherds dogs are also known for being smarter and more skilled than a lot of other dogs.

As for the closer tie with Wizard compared to witch, the members of Magus Pastores seem to share the same enjoyment of high places, altho they lack the instinct to construct their own tower, preferring to use mountains. They also lack the bright color of mages, although those are debated to be the result of selective breeding by aristocrate to have matching court jester and court wizards...

Worker Dwarf

Dwarf Mage Me and my friend are working on a new fantasy story together, and we wanted to come up with our own version of classic Fantasy races like Dwarves, Elves, Goblins, Orcs, etc… I like to add a twist to them that makes them very different than you expect them be; But also I feel like in a lot of recent fantasy stories people have taken some of the "Fantastic" out of fantasy. I know it's the "classic" look but, too often Elves and Dwarves are literally just like Humans with something a little different about them and are rigidly type casted into one or a couple of specific Stereotypes:

Dwarves are almost always short muscular hyper masculine men with big thick beards, wearing Viking inspired helmets, and talk with a scottish accent. They are gruff, speak very bluntly and might be super literal or can't take a joke; They are very industrious crafters and builders, said to be some of the best in the world but also very strictly traditional as to never make too much progress out of the realm of medieval fantasy. They Love Booze-Hate Elves, like to Boast about how strong they are, are obsessed with gold and other treasures, live in Gigantic cavernous mountain halls, and greatly favor Axes and Hammers over all over Weapons.

These Dwarves on the other hand are like nothing you would find in the natural world. I wanted them to exhibit some of the classic Dwarven traits you expect like having big beards, being skilled craftsmen, and living underground, but I also wanted them to truly feel like a magical creature.

Dungeon World Dwarves are like a weird cross between an Ant and a Potato-man. Dwarves have a Queen who's larger than all other Dwarves and doesn't even look human. She produces all other Dwarves from her body as buds, then once they are big enough, attendant workers will sever the buds from the queen and bury them to finish growing in special nursery garden chambers which help adapt the developing bud to whichever working role they are meant to serve in the colony. After they fully develop they just pop out of the ground as a conscious Dwarf who know exactly what their role is, and immediately get to work. When they first emerge from the ground, Dwarves have legs but no arms. Over time they will grow their own arms with tools specific to their jobs and can grow arms which also double as tools for their specific job, but when they start out they may borrow an arm from one of the older worker dwarves who can just pop off their own arms off if they don't need it, and stick it to another dwarf, they may even have an entire group of dwarves who's job is to grow and farm spare arms for new dwarves so there are constantly extra arms in circulation, but even with a borrowed arm Dwarves seem to prefer to grow their own. One arm is typically smaller and more human-like, meant for more versatile general usage, while the other arm tend to be exceptionally large and even weirdly proportioned having multiple joints or branching arms, which are coated in an Earth-like or Metallic Exoskeletal shell that grows into the shape of tools. These Tools are highly durable, and resist extreme heats, and while attached to the dwarf that grew them, if they sustain damage from use, they are capable of regenerating. They can also make several arms at a time if necessary, but they always seem to specifically have an odd number of arms and are never entirely symmetrical. These arms are also not fixed in one place on the body, they are mobile and able to slide around all over the dwarf's body.

[loneliestofall]

do you remember what you look like? or what anything else is like? Because you don't know how long you've been in here, Are you worried that too much stimulation may be hurtful?

"Of COURSE I remember what I look like! I was the smallest pupil of my class, and for that I was often used as an armrest!" They'd giggle, longing for the idea of having any form of contact again. "But the longer I stay in here... I realize," There was a pause. A silence from LONELY WIZARD as they mull over their thoughts, as if trying to put up a barricade against any melancholy that arises. "I don't recall MUCH anymore... I remember the lands the Scrybes resided over, and especially Magnificus' GRAND tower! But... I don't remember much of Amber and Goobert besides they were my friends. I haven't seen them since I was put into..." ...

"WHADDYA KNOW!" They quickly move on, a big invisible smile forming on their face. "STIMULATION is NEVER enough! THE MORE THE MERRIER! LALALA!" They'd trot off to sing and dance, even if its a pain on the ears.

ask game - KISS

spins a comically large wheel that just consists of the name "istorros"

god. okay. i've been looking for an excuse to talk about istorros. so i'm gonna take this as my sign to talk a little about him.

the real answer is sort of funny, because in my current file, he's romancing gale, so the last person he's technically kissed is gale. but story-wise, astarion, because of a bunch of funny shenanigans that happened behind the scenes.

here he is casting speak to dead for context (the only other reference i have of him is an Actual mugshot. lmao.)

Update on my Mystreet binge {Spoilers for season 5, Starlight}

WOOOO.

I remembered most of this season after all! I actually stopped watching shortly after the engagement episode. Right before Derek {Aaron's father} spilled all the secrets to Melissa {A's sister}.

I really did miss the BIG reveals and the downhill roller coaster that is Angel's fall. With this season's finally, I'm terrified of season 6. Only hearing that its.. chaotic to say the least.

Most of the episodes were great. I found myself feeling embarrassed about the whole "alpha" spiel. But that's more due to how the word is used now-a-days that made me cringe in a bad way. Idk where the whole Maria plot was going, thought she was going to try to cause a rift between the main couple?

I loved the cute moments this season! The bonding with Aaron and Aphmau seemed more chill than over the top lovey dovey stuff. They are cute without the pressure of appearing cute. Unlike Travis and Katelyn, which was a great constrast and gave a few giggles. Still find it a bit creepy that EVERYONE is so into their relationship. But rather that than the guys hoping for their downfall just to get Aph. Sylvanna telling her daughter that becoming a werewolf "just because" was disrespectful towards the culture explained why I was so off put by it. Still, think the whole try not to compare Aaron to a dog was funny. {but where did Celestia go? She was there day one then vanished...??}

I also loved Zane and Nana's relationship.. for the most part. I like that Nana was pushy with it while Zane wanted to take things slow. I'm just surprised that he let a lot go by in the name of not rocking the boat. The whole accidental cheating with the brother plot.. it's one of those scenes you know it happened but happily skipped over a bit to save yourself the second-hand embarrassment. Their kiss {while later on said it was just to keep him interested} was adorable! I feel like it was just the way Nana would confess her feelings. And with Zane? He might not have taken the hint otherwise. Garroth's "about time" response to the news was perfect. It showed that he had improved on keeping his baby brother's feelings in mind.. so much so that he noticed the chemistry between him and Nana before they did!

The proposal was also nice. We all knew it was coming, but it still felt special. Only a bit sad that their announcement to his parents didn't go as planned. Especially with Garroth getting snipped. Poor dude can't catch a break. Experimented on when young {which might explain why Garte favors him}, ladies ran from him, and now he's bedridden because.. as Zane would put it .. he's a boob( ╥ω╥ )

Rant over. Have a smug bastard {derogatory, he would make a funny reaction meme tho}

The dragons are next. :) If my kids let me write anymore today I'll finally get to introduce Pyre.
