Howler Lair discord server

After four long years, Light Bringer is finally upon us, so I figured it was time to make a fresh post to promo the discord server I’m a mod for:

Howler Lair is a chill, friendly, fairly small Red Rising community. Please use the invite link below to join.

Feel free to talk about whatever! Or don’t! All we ask is for a brief intro so we know you’re a real person, and something to call you. Don’t ever feel bad for lurking, or suddenly jumping in to say something if you haven’t for awhile. I promise it is welcome.

We are also queer friendly. And we like to keep this server feeling small because larger Red Rising groups are intimidating. The vast majority of current membership are all tumblrinas. Introvert central.

All I ask is you please follow the short list of rules we have (basically: be excellent to each other). Especially please follow our Light Bringer spoilers policy (see pinned posts in the relevant channel). And keep spoilers for the other books in the proper channels for the handful of people reading it for the first time. Otherwise, go nuts.

Hope to see you there!

Howler Lair awooo 🐺

Got another charming rendition of Nikia! (Same lovely anonymous person as last time!) And I'm not so tired I forgot to share lol so here!

She looks so cute, like she just spotted a friend and wants to play it at least a little cool but is super happy lol

Usual, rambling blurb beneath!

So there's this thing about wearing glasses that's easy to forget, even if you regularly wear glasses.

And that's that glasses bend light.

Hold on! I'm not being sarcastic or getting super into a physics lesson or whatever!

But basically, depending on if you are near or far sighted (able to see better up close or far away respectively) your lenses will be shaped differently to bring things into focus. Specifically, if you can't see up close (or need to see even closer up close, like with magnifying glasses) the lens is convex, which is basically just saying the glass bubbles up in the middle/focal point rather than concave (indenting towards the focal point).

This is why you have shots of people with those ridiculous headgear magnifying glasses for whatever eccentric shit they're doing and their eyes are like... Massive.

It's literally magnifying on both ends and this is generally what reading glasses do (though not as dramatically as this skit here).

But if you can't see well far away (and slowly but surely far ends up being not very far away at all if you're like me and unlucky like that), it makes your eyes seem smaller by increasing increments based on prescription. Which generally seems to be the case in anime shows where 'secretly pretty glasses protag removes glasses to reveal the most beautiful eyes, luscious lashes, and intense gaze you've ever seen' or whatever.

Where am I going with this?

Well, much like a lot of my own traits, I gave Nikia my shitty ass eyesight as well (and is the inspiration for Oh Sweet Child of Mine's bad eyesight as well by the way).

I haven't really illustrated this well because honestly it's hard to keep track of and looks goofy irl anyway if you focus on it too much. But her eyes definitely look pretty small compared to how they actually should be. Combined with a resting bitch face with naturally lowered eye lids, it's quite shocking to actually see her eyes clearly.

And where am I going with this all, really?

Well, for quite a while after their first meeting, Thatch makes several assumptions (as does Izou but he'll never admit it).

Mainly at first that she's a young man (got that nonbinary, vaguely masculine vibe about her). Then, after a short bit, that she's super cold and perhaps a bit bitchy and strict. She's a good host, but definitely more about safety than actual, warm hosting like most others on her home islands. Not helped by the static, standoffish expression she wears, eyes just deep set enough to be mostly shadow in the firelight where her glasses don't catch the reflection.

He does work through her awkwardness enough to recognize her actual traits and ends up a little (a lot) obsessed. Izou being a good sounding board and reminding him that not everyone is bitey bastards and that genuinely well meaning but awkward people still exist.

And then.

One day he gets a little smile from her and it's basically that. Face lit up with delight and Thatch (and Izou watching in great interest) are hit from several directions all at once.

Darkened, colorless eyes bright and pale blue like a winter sky. Lips curled into a small, somewhat awkward smile that clearly struggles to not be a flash of teeth with delight. Not the most dramatic expression, but so clearly happy it floors them both.

They know her fairly well at this point. But it's that somewhat hesitant smile that seals everything in place for them. Stamped into their heart with a soft, throaty chuckle.

Hey fellow travel enthusiasts!

If you're like me and love to travel in style without breaking the bank, I've got some exciting news for you. I recently stumbled upon a service that promises to revolutionize your travel experience - VIP Hotel Flights. As a dedicated expert in hotel membership rewards programs, I had to dive deep into this offering and share my findings with you.

What is VIP Hotel Flights?

VIP Hotel Flights is a game-changer in the travel industry, offering direct upgrades for hotel, airline, and car rental memberships at significantly reduced costs. Imagine enjoying elite status perks without having to complete endless stays, flights, or rentals. Sounds too good to be true? Well, let me walk you through the specifics.

The Magic Behind VIP Hotel Flights

Cost-Effective Membership Upgrades

One of the standout features of VIP Hotel Flights is its affordability. Traditional methods of achieving elite status often require significant time and financial investment. With VIP Hotel Flights, you can skip the tedious accumulation of points and nights, jumping straight to the benefits. This service makes luxury travel accessible to everyone.

Hassle-Free Process

The user-friendly approach of VIP Hotel Flights is another major plus. All you need to do is choose your desired upgrade, provide the necessary details, and let VIP Hotel Flights handle the rest. No more tracking miles or points – just pure, unadulterated luxury.

Exclusive Benefits Across the Board

Whether it's a hotel, airline, or car rental, VIP Hotel Flights has you covered. Here’s what you can expect:

Hotel Membership Upgrades: Enjoy perks like complimentary room upgrades, late check-outs, free breakfasts, and access to exclusive lounges. Partners include top-tier hotels like Hilton, Marriott, and Hyatt.

Airline Membership Upgrades: Fly with ease and comfort by enjoying priority boarding, extra baggage allowance, and airport lounge access. Partner airlines include major players like Delta, American Airlines, and United.

Car Rental Membership Upgrades: Enjoy priority service, vehicle upgrades, and exclusive discounts with top rental companies such as Hertz, Avis, and Enterprise.

Real Stories from Real Travelers

But don’t just take my word for it. Here are some testimonials from travelers who’ve made the switch:

Jane D. raves about her suite upgrade and complimentary breakfast every day during her vacation.

Mark S. found the airline upgrades invaluable, especially the lounge access and priority boarding.

Sarah L. loves the convenience and discounts offered on car rentals, making her road trips more enjoyable.

Why VIP Hotel Flights Stands Out

In a sea of travel services, VIP Hotel Flights distinguishes itself with its unique blend of cost-efficiency, convenience, and immediate access to elite status perks. The service is perfect for those who want to elevate their travel experience without the usual hassle.

You only rent game nows....

Now, I have not denied once when we made games digital AND required an internet subscription, we didn't own the games. We don't! Not like we can sell our rights/access to it to another. Kinda fucked up when you think about it; If I had bought gotham knights digitally, I would have ZERO dollars for selling it. But because I got the disc, I sold it for $20. $60 (going on $70 per game), and if you are LUCKY (cuz some games do NOT have a disc to buy) you can sell it for $20? That's like buying a new car and selling it for the HUGE loss of taking it off the lot...and not every car is sell-able!!!!

I say all this cuz xbox gold gives 4 games away a month. And I was reading the reviews of one of their newest free ones (most of them are SHIT), and somebody said 'we don't even own these. They aren't 'free' games. If we don't have an xbox live gold membership, we can't access these games.' Which is 100% true. So they are...rentals. ALL of it are rentals. Cuz without internet, it's practically a dead box.

How do we work so hard, spend so much to have less than we ever had before? Ugh. Humans are fucking dumb. Always settling for less. That's the summary of the species....
