guild wars community, i bestow some treats to you:
absolute truckloads of concept art, generally organized by type. these pages are weirdly buried on the wiki and presumably easier to find if you're a wiki editor, but a lot of the images in these folders aren't linked to any other pages so they're very easy to miss.
check out these ungulate-like asura (and underground asura !!) concepts from gw1:
as well as a gw2 concept for a stingray-like asura naval ship/floating fortress:

The king and queen are visiting Paiporta and they receive them with mud xd two men have spoken to the king and told him to do something, but we all know that he is going to go to his palace and cross his arms because It's literally the only thing he can do. Is this what had to happen for people to realize that asking the king for help is nonsense? He has no power, he is only there to parade around. They have kicked out volunteers from the site to let the king and his escorts (police and military) pass, which is the first time they have touched that ground and they are going to do NOTHING. The president is doing the same. The president of Valencia is doing the same.
#this is never before seen stuff by the way. the monarchy was restituted in 1975 after the dictatorship and celebrated for it#and the president of valencia is basically the higher power here as the state of alarm he declared makes it so the national government#cant help. he has all the jurisdiction and all the responsibility. and yes he is from a right wing party. a lot of people are blaming the#president of the country (left wing) but legally he can't do anything bc of what i said before. its so frustrating just one man being#stubborn (and cruel) has cost so many lives and inflict so much suffering. not only after and during the incident but BEFORE as he didnt#raise the alarm so people thought they were safe and went outside to get move their cars or similar.#there have been so many people found on cars inside parkings.... and they are not done yet.#they havent updated the dead or missing numbers but the last number of missing people was 2000. all these people could be dead#they could be currently dying as the king and queen parade around the streets blocking people wanting to actually help. shameful#translated the main post on google bc i just could write it in english#i feel like a medieval peasant talking about th king and queen like this. what are we doing. year 2024.#talking tag#valencia

celiac disease voted "extremely annoying to travel with" for 5th trip in a row
#personal#my kingdom for an entirely gluten free fast food joint#some of them have fries i can eat#or i could order a sad plain burger patty#but like... do i trust them to follow the correct allergen handling procedures at a restaurant designed to do everything super fast#not really...#we got in super late and the restaurant we normally go to was closed and i ended up eating apples and cheese for dinner#which feels like medieval peasant pilgrimage food#apparently the peasant food was inadequate because my brain is now sending me visions of fried meats

IT'S TIME!!! IT'S FINALLY TIME FOR THE RANT ABOUT 19TH-CENTURY PORTUGUESE URBANISM!!!! (@kingkendrick7 mentioned they were interested a While ago and who am I to withhold information about my Interests)
I'll be focusing exclusively on the city of Porto in northern Portugal because it's what I studied in my Anthropology class. And also: disclaimer! I'm translating all the names of the things from Portuguese so if it sounds weird, yeah, that's why.
The Industrial Revolution in Portugal created a very weird relationship between work and personal life due to the way the cities were planned. Basically, the people who worked the factories, and even the owners, lived extremely close to their place of work - and I mean they were pretty much neighbours. The factories were also built in the city centre itself. This is much more similar to the work-life relationship of rural areas than any model existing in normal cities.
There was, at this time, a strange impasse when it came to building housing. Porto specifically is known for having extremely thin and deep plots of land in the oldest parts of the city - I'm talking 5 by 100m (approx. 16 by 328ft). No house is gonna be that deep, so there's always about 80 to 70m of backyard.
Workers were paid extremely low wages. Like, so low they couldn't afford housing anywhere. So the factory owners would ✨selflessly✨ give up their backyards and build housing for their workers.
Can we just take a moment to think about how absurd this is? Like. Imagine taking pity on your employees for being poor. My brother in Christ, WHO DO YOU THINK IS MAKING THEM POOR?
Anyway, this new type of housing is called an Island. Its name comes from the fact that it's an "island" of low-income housing in a semi-rich neighbourhood.
Basically, an Island is a long exterior corridor with tiny houses on one or two sides and communal bathrooms at the end. Here's a picture:
The way this worked is that the owners of the big, street-front house would open a passage on the ground floor that could be fully closed wuth a gate. This kept the Islands invisible and, thus, out of the city hall's jurisdiction, since they can only legislate on what is visible from street level.
Here's an irl picture of an Island today:
Btw they tried solving this problem bt building houses from scratch but they realuzed that workers' wages were so low that just adding plumbing would make a house unaffordable. Yeah...
Porto currently stands as the European city with the most recent outbreak of the Bubonic Plague, in 1899. This is because Islands had such poor hygenic conditions that it re-kindled the Black Plague epidemic. Just so you can kinda picture what level of "horrible" this whole thing is.
Here's a quote by David Moreira da Silva about the Islands that I translated from French:
"Housing, essential organ of the city, offers us in Porto obe of the most miserable and tragic displays and one of the grave causes that greatly contribute to the huge mortality that is constant. We say, justly, that Porto as a city is the vastest cemetery in Europe."
(Parallel to this there was also the "Sleep Business", which consisted of renting places to sleep. The main two were sub-renting, in which you rented a place to sleep and paid by the hour, and the Rope, in which you rented a piece of rope to lean on while sleeping. Thought it might be interesting to add.)
I'm not mentioning as we go because it'd be exhausting, but backlash was VERY strong every step of the way. Doctors were warning against living conditions in the Islands and city hall was trying to pass laws banning these types of buildings by extending their jurisdiction deeper into the city's plots of land. But they were unsuccessful.
They tried to propose a rehabilitation of the Islands in the early 20th century but their inhabitants basically responded with "Please tear our houses down and make us new ones somewhere else. The Islands are unsalvageable".
The whole factory work-life thing ended with the fascist dictatorship, which reorganized the city centre, but there's still plenty of people living in Islands today.
To this day, the Islands stand as a warning of what rampant capitalism does to people when left unchecked. But that doesn't stop tone-deaf bourgeois pricks from romanticizing them.
This has been a rant. I hope you enjoyed it <3
#this is technically related to the dystopia WIP so i'll tag as such#actually i feel like this kinda counts as worldbuilding inspo#bc it was for me#i studied a few cities in anthropology and this was one of my favourites#capitalism is fucking fascinating man#if you wrote this in a fictional dystopia people would call bullshit#this has that “medieval peasants living in huts made of mud and dying at age 20” kind of vibe#capitalism#worldbuilding#worldbuilding inspo#can i cite sources?#no. my professor never tells us where he gets information#this is all from notes i took during class#if u wanna add anything go ahead! i love learning#doesn't need to be about the islands#technically not writing#writeblr#ramblings#the Interest has consumed me#the dystopia wip#portugal ramblies

I'm really not looking forward to going out today or doing manual labour (would much rather bake something!). Anyway, let's go
#I feel like a medieval peasant standing in front of his 1000-potato field#and also there's a huge pool party next door where all the other peasants gathered to eat some stale bread and stuff

The weather network promised rain today and nothing happened, yet more lies from the woke left
#WHAT DOES A MOTHERFUCKER HAVE TO DO TO GET A BIT OF RAIN HERE#there’s a chance of rain tomorrow if that doesn’t happen I’m gonna start killing#I feel like a medieval peasant begging god for their crops to grow

You ever glance over at Ublock while you're on youtube, and see 824 and somehow literally growing like 3 at a time (probably trackers) just chilling on the front page... and you think... yeah... that's too many ads to be seeing in one day, Ublock stays on?
#we always talk about what would kill medieval peasants; but what about things that would send them on a rampage#I feel like if you showed some monk a news page with no adblock that he'd go crush someone to death with his bare hands#I'm just saying I think the human brain wasn't made to see that many ads#like to be clear I basically reblog ads... but the ads I reblog are 'look at pretty thing; you can also buy it from me'#no one cares when there's an etsy link in the bottom#but endless yammering and movement and dumb shit designed to try and grab your attention... no more I think#and these sites don't get that it's not between me browsing with ublock or browsing raw#it's between me browsing with ublock or not going to their site at all#I don't care for twitch personally; but I extra don't care for it cause sometimes they crack my adblock#and all that does is piss me off and makes me leave

Stunned by the number of people on that meat flavor poll I made who actually agree with my housemate. Enjoy your bland chicken and tasteless burgers. I'll be over here eating burgers soaked in Worcestershire sauce and five different herbs and spices with sharp cheese and spicy mustard and caramelized onions. Have fun with your blood flavored medium rare seared muscle chunks.
#meat by itself is bland#salt just helps you notice the metallic flavor of the blood that isn't there anymore#pepper barely adds a new flavor to the mix#it does look like I'm still winning the poll though#so i feel vindicated#seriously go put some dang flavor on your meat and enjoy life a little#stop living like a medieval peasant

Like everyone I've obviously had a lot of thoughts about my gender over covid and while I definitely don't see myself as a man, whenever I see pictures of transmasc people who started t and are showing their changing muscle mass I'm always like "that's so cool for them :) but I would be buffer"
#like i think if i were taller than 5 ft tall i would probably work more toward a masculine appearance but it's just easier and does feel#good to dress like a medieval peasant girl lol
