FULL RES HERE IN CASE TUMBLR FUCKS WITH IT
EVERY SLUGCAT. IN THE HISTORY OF RAIN WORLD. THAT WE KNOW OF. inspired by @hourglass-meadow's original post from ~9 months ago because haha. hah. theres SO MANY MORE. HERE'S ALL OF THEM BABY.
symbols next to the slugcats and what they mean:
slugcat sources under cut vvvv it gets a bit long!
first two are from runnMaze2.rar
next five are from kickstarter art:
first & second art, third art, fourth art
I DO NOT HAVE A SOURCE FOR THIS ONE IF SOMEONE HAS IT PLEASE LINK ME IT. i've heard its on the devlog but i never found it oops. these were original arena slugcat designs!
as for the slugcat pups...
from here
from here
the gang(tm) are from in-game. the green slugcat however was the original fourth arena slugcat!
image posted by james on the rain world discord!
the next five slugcats are from survivor's intro cutscene. interesting note that monk was not added at this time! monk and hunter were added ~4 months after rain world released, so assumedly these cutscenes weren't made in mind with monk.
the remaining slugcats in the second row are all from basegame projections that you can find in your own files, with the path
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rain World\RainWorld_Data\StreamingAssets\projections
and we all know where the downpour slugcats are from ;) these are all from ingame. the slugpups next to gourmand are colorpicked from gourmand's non-food quest ending art!
the next few slugcats are from gourmand's ending, excluding gourmand themself, of course!
the next three are judge and the two beta spearmasters!
i do not have a source from where judge is from - but the beta spearmasters were posted by faeling :]
the next slugcats are from gourmand's scrapped ending, which you can find on the wiki!
the yellow and blue slugcats were two slugcats added in a projection with remix enabled. i didn't add the white slugcat from this one because... look do you see how many white slugcats there are already. also i forgot
the rest are all from the coop thumbnail, wip coop thumbnail, devtools [surv, monk and hunter also feature and this is nightcat but i included it due to the color difference from in-game] and remix thumbnail [probably survivor, but again, color difference! even if its stylistic i still think its neat to include :]] and the coop manual!
you can find the wip coop thumbnail on the wiki!
you. Could argue the white and yellow ones from the manual are surv and monk, But ! color difference. also the yellow pup that looks like monk actually matches perfectly with the yellow slugcat pup from alpha
#rain world#rainworld#rain world downpour#rainworld downpour#rw slugcat#slugcat#if i DID miss some obscure slugcat you happen to knwo about? LET ME KNOW.#i think i lost my Everything doing this. have fun. here's all your slugcats. i am dead on the ground

Hi. I definitely felt refreshed reading your hard stance and information on ai in your pinned, but irrelevant to that, I only found your blog today and I feel like I missed something with AI and whumptober. Can I learn about that? I hope my language makes sense.
In the late summer of 2023, an anonymous user asked the Whumptober blog if AI-generated content would be allowed for the event. This anon did not come from any of us, nor do we know who originally send this ask, but one of us did see Whumptober's response which kickstarted this entire thing.
Whumptober responded that they would not be disallowing AI because they "do not want to police how other people create things" and "didn't want to exclude anybody" but that they would "discourage" AI-generated content "because it feels like cheating" (all direct quotes).
Myself, the other mods, and several more people, were very disappointed in this stance. several of us started replying to the post and got into a back-and-forth with the Whumptober mods about why AI-generated content is harmful and bad. These posts and replies have since been mostly deleted by the Whumptober blog, nor do we want to rehash the entire thing, but some of the stances that Whumptober took that really rubbed us wrong were (again with direct quotes):
"AI-generated content is not art theft". When pointed out that these sorts of applications very much scrape content without consent, Whumptober claimed that it's the AI that steals then, not the person who uses the AI. They also claimed that since the AI already scraped the content, you "might as well use it", that defending against AI scraping is "going down on an already burning hill" and that "if you don't want your content scraped/stolen, just don't post it online". We found these very concerning statements from an event made by and for creators.
"AI-generated content is a fandom issue and nobody in the real world is harmed by it". This is, obviously, factually incorrect. When we pointed out real creators in many creative industries are being hit hard because of AI-generation, they said "that's capitalism's fault, not AI-generation" (???) and they also told us to "touch grass".
"These sort of AIs are an accessibility tool for the disabled, so disliking them is ableism". Again, this is incorrect. They tried to liken it to predictive text or spell check. We pointed out that there's a vast difference between those machine learning tools and actually generative AI that subsides on scraped content. We said disabled people (many of whom were involved in the back-and-forth) are sick of being used as a strawman by tech bros. They then said "real disabled people probably feel differently" which was a slap in the face, and honestly the thing that still is the most horrible to me about this whole thing.
This is the point where Whumptober started to block a bunch of us and delete asks/replies. They made a post that falsely made it seem like we were harassing and bullying them for saying that they "couldn't check every single entry for AI-generated content". We pointed out multiple times that we absolutely did not expect them to, since we're very aware that with the size of the Whumptober event, it would be impossible. We'd just like them to say 'AI-generated content is not allowed and it's art theft' but apparently they didn't want to.
After this one of the mods DMed me and asked me to send them some resources on why AI-generated content and scraping AI is bad, so they could educate themselves. We spent several minutes collecting sources (some linked in our pinned). They said the Whumptober mods would read them, and then come to a standpoint. But then within less than a minute of us sending the links, they deleted the remaining posts involved in the debate, and just told us they were sticking to their standpoint that "We will not police how people create things, we'll just discourage people by not reblogging it". They also added to their pinned that they won't ever respond to any asks about AI-generated content again. So that was that.
Somewhere during the argument, the Whumptober mods told us that if we disliked their stance so much, we should just make our own event. So we did.
(Edit to add: regardless on if whumptober does change their policy, we never received any sort of acknowledgement or apology of the above and we will keep running this event for whoever wants to.)

The "Rusty Quill Article" from the perspective of a journalism student.
So there has been a lot of stuff going around about an article made by someone that lays out some possible/probable/whatever misconduct. And there are some ways that people have been discussing it that I want to weigh in.
My Credentials: I'm in my senior year as a Journalism and Media Production major (I won't say which university because this is the internet). I've taken a lot of courses about journalism, including its ethics and writing conventions.
The Writer
"Who's Afraid of Alex J. Newall?" was written by Newt Schottelkotte on Medium and edited by Tal Minear and Wil Williams. The article extensively details possible misconduct
Possible bias: Upon publishing the article, Schottelkotte made no note of being the Director of Marketing at the podcast network Fables & Folly. When this was pointed out online, Schottelkotte added an editor's note to the bottom of the article that reads
Newt Schottelkotte is currently the Marketing Director for Fable & Folly Network, but has worked as an independent creator and journalist for longer. This information was not disclosed; a disclosure has been added.
So what gives? That's pretty biased, right? Surely F&F stands to gain a lot if Rusty Quill were to shut down or lose public favor, and the author hid that fact. I, however, would take that with a heavy grain of salt. As noted Schottelkotte has worked independently in podcasting since 2016 and got their position at F&F this year. Furthermore, they've actually worked for a lot of podcast networks, also available in that link, and the emphasis on F&F made by some people may be a bit overzealous. Yes, F&F could stand to gain from RQ experiencing troubles (though more of the nebulous way that a lot of podcast networks would), but Schottelkotte overall is an independent contractor and that's probably the reason they didn't mention it in the article originally. Minear and Williams are unaffiliated with F&F.
Something else about journalistic bias: No article is ever truly unbiased. There is no way for it to be. There are some cases where bias is so blatant that the person shouldn't be put on the story, but most of the time the best people are able to do is manage their bias.
The Purpose
Some people have disparaged the article for trying to "cancel" RQ. To this I would merely like to point out that the article is not addressed to podcast consumers, but to podcast creators.
They do address the possible consumers later towards the end, where they attempt to dissuade people from harassing former/current employees and projects
In the final section, they do ask readers to think about supporting The Magnus Protocol Kickstarter with the clear bent of "Supporting the Kickstarter could mean that you're supporting abusive industry practices." There is clearly some biased language here, and a call to action such as this could definitely be considered "iffy" journalism, so take that as you will.
The Sources
Oooooooooh the sources. Schottelkotte's article uses a few external sources, and then a number of anonymous sources that are ex-employees of RQ or people who were offered a position there. All interviewees are anonymous, and people have raised some eyebrows at this.
In journalism you are generally supposed to avoid confidential sources. They cause an obvious verification issue. If people don't know who your sources are, how do they know that you're not just making everything up?
That being said. The audio drama podcast industry is rather small. RQ itself is somewhat of a household name, and is even more of a juggernaut in a place like Britain. I can absolutely understand why these people would feel nervous about speaking publicly for fear of being blacklisted due to being considered "hard to work with" or "disloyal" or fear of backlash from RQ themselves. Take these sources with a grain of salt, but also understand that there are reasonable grounds for these sources being confidential.
Conclusion
I encourage people to go read the article, hence why I linked it at the beginning. Something that I would ask for people who point out the issues with sources is to demand accountability from RQ. Demand that they respond (As Schottelkotte asked them to do at least once, possibly several times. It's a bit unclear in the article). Look at the facts that we do know and ask yourself that even if they don't directly verify claims do they at least line up with them? Journalism is meant to inform, but there can also be more beyond a dichotomy "this article is can be trusted" vs. "this article cannot be trusted." Use this as an opportunity to ask questions.

By any chance, could you list like all the things we know about Joseph and Jack? Because some people might be new to the fandom and not know much about it.. if you did this before then could we get the source for it?
Btw love your works :D
Thank you so much! You're so sweet. 💗
Well, while I haven't considered making a fandom primer before... I did make a timeline of what we know about Joseph so far in this post over here. I even translated it into Spanish upon request here.
Oh, something that came out since I made that post is this image from the kickstarter that shows us Joseph's whole body, including his stylish rose-printed boots. Also, the lovely creator of the game shared development sprites in this post that tease at certain plot elements in the upcoming game. As well as this suspiciously familiar lad on Jack's birthday.
As for Jack, I didn't consolidate everything in one place, but I have discussed various topics about him that might be more pertinent. His limitations, for example, are an important part of his character. Consent is a big part of the game and his character.
A lot of what I've discussed are theories, such as how Jack got stuck in the tape, but I do show relevant pieces of artwork and link to the official twitter and tumblr that give teasers. One important piece of info from the tumblr is that Jack can touch/interact with things the more attached he is to his sunshine. The asks from the official tumblr have some juicy lore bits. I've also made transcripts for some of the audio dramas in this tag.
I'm honestly not sure what else should go into a introduction to the fandom for newcomers, besides suggesting they try out the demo and check out official sources. Sadly, I'm not a part of Snaccpop Studios (though I'd love to be hired on as a writer), so I don't count as an official source. Most of what I have to offer with my headcanon rambles are theories and possibilities after all. Plus I'm always adding more thoughts as more teasers slowly trickle out and I get new perspectives from other members of this lovely fandom.
Maybe I should give it some thought how to go about an introduction primer for new fans, but I don't want to give the false impression that I'm an official source for information. I'm just an enthusiastic fan who is trying to sleuth out what's going on and play around with the concepts.
I'd say start from the demo, then go to the official pages for more information. The official toyhou.se page has profiles for the love interests plus the boss, and you can check out other important SnaccPop Studio links here. I hope this helps!

Grimdark & Dangerous!
I’ve done it. Grimdark & Dangerous is available for purchase as of right now. Follow this link and it will take you to DMsGuild where it is currently hosted and ready to go.
Have you ever wanted to implement classes that increase risks for your characters or make playing the game just a bit harder without resorting to “realism” rules?
Perhaps you want more spells? Lots more spells. A grand total of 59 new spells?!
What about class options? How about a whole 5 new class options?
Did you like the rune scribe prestige class but don’t want to have to worry about prestige class rules? Because, let’s be real, prestige class rules are weird and the rune scribe class does not play nicely with the rest of the rules.
Maybe you’re the kind of player that wants magic items out the wazoo. Just, all the items. You need more. But 54 more new items? How about an entire new class of magic item? How about weapons that let you adjust how they behave in combat? How about magic weapons specifically geared towards enhancing different kinds of spell casting styles?
How about blood magic? You like blood hunter? What if there was a class option that was like that, but for magic and spells?
Do you like to harvest big monsters for crafting materials? What if you could do that but turn those crafting materials into new limbs and natural weapons you could use?
Or maybe, you want to make just... the most neurotic character ever? The kind that is so broken everyone else wonders how they even function, but they have become able to turn their immense suffering into personally meaningful and dramatic growth and power?
This is the kind of thing packed tightly into Grimdark & Dangerous. This book is comparable in size and scope to Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything and is almost 100% in-game content.
The current price for the book is $19.99. Consider this a sale for the holidays. When 2023 rolls around the price will likely go up to $25 to help offset the cost of making the book. $19.99 is less than half of what it costs to buy a WotC expansion book, and Grimdark & Dangerous has just as much if not more content than many of the WotC expansion books.
On top of all of that, there actually is more. Upon meeting certain sales milestones for Grimdark & Dangerous, I will be doing the following:
100 copies - I will release “Pay What You Want” edition(s) of the entirety of Grimdark & Dangerous’ chapters.
500 copies - Grimdark Bestiary (which was partially completed early in the development process for Grimdark & Dangerous, but cut due to time constraints) will be added on to all future and past purchases of the book
1001 copies - Platinum best seller - I will release all of Grimdark & Dangerous as a physical print edition
2000 copies (I do not expect this to happen, but I would love it to) - I will organize a new project called "Harbinger" on Kickstarter. It will not be a d&d 5e project, but rather a new open source ttrpg that would help people transition from 5e to other systems and settings.
I have put months of full-time effort into this project, and it has been mostly a labor of love for a game and community that has helped me so much. But to be able to actually present a book like this and share it with that game and community is just a whole other level of satisfaction. I’m incredibly grateful for all the love and support over the past few months as I’ve teased ad talked about this project. I hope ya’ll find as much enjoyment from using the content as I did from making and testing it.

Blog Meta vs Tumblr Meta
When I started this tumblr, I wanted to post about game development and game design. I followed other game developers, and I posted about game design, WiP screenshots and art assets, and links to finished games. Later I started an aesthetic sideblog (reblub.tumblr.com), and posted some programming tutorials to this tumblr. Programming is not really something that interests followers who want to know when I have released a new game, or who want to reblog WiP pixel art. Then I stopped worrying and broadened the range of topics on this main blog to opinions on computer literacy, teaching programming, and contributing open source. It's my blog and you can't stop me. I might post some cooking recipes. Maybe it even helps promote my games.
If I wanted to go all-out on promoting my games, I would post a lot more visually interesting WiP stuff, and game design ideas that are directly related to games I am promoting, broken down so players who don't design their own games understand them. I would have to manually cross-post everything on mastodon, twitter, instagram, tiktok, and so on.
If I wanted to go all-out about programming tutorials, I should probably host them somewhere else. The NPF tumblr post editor does not do code blocks, or maths. I could make a series of hyperlinked pages and host them on my own domain, or I could record some screencasts and sell a course, but not on tumblr.
I don't want to do either of those anyway. I want to keep this tumblr relatively noise-free, I don't want to be my own full time social media manager posting gifs every day, and I don't want to sell webinars or online courses. I just want to keep making games, occasionally.
When tumblr enabled ads on blogs, and not just on the dashboard, I noted the lack of kickbacks for blog posters.
When Posts+ was announced, I thought about posting more gamedev tutorials. There is probably a small audience out there who would want to learn GameDev from me, but they might not be enough people to make it financially viable, and they are probably not willing and able to pay me enough. The people who are on tumblr already don't want to buy gamedev tutorial content, and when they do, they don't want to do so on tumblr.
With every new tumblr feature, I noted that it doesn't really help me write one or two posts a month. It doesn't help me publish or monetise the kind of content I want to write. The tip jar is more compatible with the way content spreads through tumblr than posts+, but it's not what I need.
The only way I can monetise a gamedev tumblr is by posting viral gifs of my game, and directing them to other platforms:
getting people to wishlist the game on Steam
promoting my itch.io page
promoting a Patreon
promoting a podcast
promoting a KickStarter
selling branded t-shirts
funnelling them into my Discord
There is no good way to monetise devlog content, game development tutorials, or long-form blog posts on tumblr.
This feels mildly concerning, but maybe it's okay. I know that many game developers started a Patreon for their podcast, a YouTube channel, a twitch stream, or a TikTok, only for that to become a larger source of revenue than their game sales. As they work on their next title, and try to drum up hype for Steam wish lists, cross-promote other games, appear on podcasts, the sales from their last game dwindle, and the revenue from YouTube ads and twitch donations grows. They are basically professional YouTubers at that point, or professional programming coaches, but without the actual game in the end, it doesn't work.
On the other hand, tumblr can still monetise me. I could decide to blaze some pretty screenshots, some .gifs, and gain followers and wishlists.
I don't know where this leaves artists on tumblr though. Tumblr is full of pixel artists who take commissions. Tumblr is full of old school oil on canvas artists. Their interests aren't aligned with the platform. Tumblr doesn't earn anything when they do commissions, and the artists don't earn anything when ads are shown on the dash next to their reblogged original content.
With all this in mind, tumblr live makes some sense.
In the mean time, I'll have a look at cohost, and I might re-work some of my drafts that require elaborate formatting into a longer-lived web site. And maybe I'll write some games!

All or Nothing (1973) by Autumn Chen
============= Links
Play the game See other reviews of the game See other games by Autumn or follow @cyberpunklesbian
============= Synopsis
A collection of anecdotes about a troubled Kickstarter production
============= Other Info
All or Nothing (1973) is a Dendry* short game, submitted to the Goncharov Game Jam**. * **Autumn was also the organiser of this jam.
Status: Completed Genre: Unreality, Goncharov, Slice-of-Life, Meta
CW: / Note: cheating, mention of violence/death
============= Playthrough
First Played: December 2022 Last Played: 3-Jun-2023 Playtime: around 20mins Rating: 4 /5 Thoughts: Give your All and get Nothing...
============= Review
Adding to the Goncharov craze of November 2022, All or Nothing (1973) takes on a meta commentary approach on internet trends, the cashing out on said trends*, and artistic creation. Set during an undefined present, we discover through snippets a group of four adults are putting together a trailer for a Kickstarter project to create a Goncharov movie, competing with other crowd-sourced project on the same idea. *which, lol, considering the jam
Spoilers ahead. It is recommended to play the game first. The review is based on my understanding/reading of the story.
The game starts as a rendition of a scene for a Goncharov movie*, being shot, formatted like a script and with a dark edited picture. You get to choose some options about where the scene goes until one of the characters yells CUT, following one of the actors fumbling his lines. The scene moves to real life (change in background and font), as the crew bickers about the production. The game will continue flipping between the dark setting while the scenes are shot and the brighter background of real life, announcing the transitions**. *which is not a real thing, just to be clear... **until... movie and reality are but one.
We are introduced to a four-member crew shooting materials for a Kickstarter campaign: Arash - playing Goncharov - the director of this whole enterprise and maybe a bit too obsessed with the project, Vivian - playing Katya - the scriptwriter who is disillusioned with making it in the industry, Tony - playing Andrey - looking for a paycheck, and Sofia - playing Sofia* - also here mainly for a paycheck**.*This made me laugh so hard. **I think? It's not as explicit as Tony. Maybe some connection or support?
Like most of Autumn's games, All or Nothing (1973) takes a storylet approach to the storytelling of the downtime of the crew (about 2-3 scenes). You can follow two groups: Arash/Goncharov and Tody/Andrey, or Vivian/Katya and Sofia/Sofia. Each will discuss their view on the production, their worries and dreams, and what is happening in their lives.
Arash's method acting is worrying some of them or getting on their nerves, but he only cares about making art and be remembered* *this is an interesting conversation between Tony and Arash on the subject, where fame doesn't seem to interest Arash if behind it there is no creative output to show for...
Vivian is starting to resent telling Arash (her boyfriend) about the meme and letting him string her along the production, while she questions whether she still want to even pursue this.
Sofia lives in a shitty studio with a baby, Tony looks to get paid* (and maybe more?). *Unlike the other three characters, it didn't feel like there was much to Tony. Maybe being paired with Arash made him more of a background character...
By the second storylet, lines between the characters in the real world and in scenes start to blur. Vivian and Sofia comment on events being similar to struggles the Goncharov characters suffer through, while Arash and Tony lean more and more into the method acting (with Arash being much more into it). Like their movie counterpart (according to lore), both couple have the option of potentially leaning into the sexual tension in the air (with Vivian/Arash cheating on the other*). *Funny thing, in the lore it is unclear whether either party knows about the cheating, condones it, or resents the other for it. Still they don't see each other separating because of it.
The line fully disappears when the real world characters embodies their scene counterparts so much during the height of filming, that neither Arash, Vivian, nor Tony realise Sofia's cries to stop the scene (even her holding her child do not phase them). At this point, the background does not even return to "real-life" mode. While Tony and Vivian do manage to come back to their senses, Arash still stays in character, ending the game with I am Goncharov...
I really enjoyed figuring out that the characters' lives mirrors the ones they portrayed (though the exact lore is unclear one the specifics), with Vivian and Arash being a couple and playing Katya and Goncharov who are canonically together, Katya's dalliance with Sofia, Goncharov and Andrey contrasting identities (light/dark, naive/serious, free/taken...)... as well as trying to find the Goncharov themes (the clock, the gun, the boat...).
A final note: the game references two works: All or Nothing (which is incidentally the name of the game, paired with the fictional release year of Goncharov) and Miss Officer and Mr Truffles, two crowdfunding campaigns which started from a meme post on Tumblr making the rounds on the website. Neither managed to deliver an end product (the second never reached its goal). A bit of a wink to A Paradox between worlds there... Is it also foreshadowing the future of this project?

Travis Kelce reveals the moment he fell for Taylor Swift: 'That's my lady'
He was enchanted to meet her. Travis Kelce didn’t hold back gushing over his girlfriend Taylor Swift, revealing the exact moment he fell head over heels for her. During an appearance on the “Bussin’ With The Boys podcast,” released Tuesday, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, was quizzed on his romance with the 14-time Grammy winner. Travis Kelce has revealed the exact moment he fell for Taylor Swift. Bussin' With The Boys The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, was quizzed on his romance with the 14-time Grammy winner. GC Images When asked what it’s like to date the biggest pop star on the planet, the 3-time Super Bowl champ didn’t mince words. “You want to keep things private, but at the same time, I’m not here to hide anything,” he told co-hosts Will Compton and Taylor Lewan. “That’s my girl. That’s my lady. I’m proud of that.” “I’m not sitting here trying to juggle like, ‘How can I keep this under wraps?’ You just don’t want to let everyone into your personal life and be able to comment on it, knowing that everything she does is getting a headline.” And despite being a global phenomenon, the “Cruel Summer” hitmaker’s ability to stay grounded is what made Kelce fall for her. “That’s my girl. That’s my lady. I’m proud of that,” the 3-time Super Bowl champ said. AP “She’s very self-aware,” he shared. “She understands situations like that and I think that’s why I really started to fall for her, how genuine she is just around friends and family.” “It can get crazy for somebody with that much attention and she keeps it so chill and so cool and I can admire it for sure,” he added. After the duo first kickstarted their romance last summer, Swift made headlines by attending a Chiefs game in September. The pair kickstarted their romance last summer. Getty Images During her football debut, the “Fornight” singer, 34, was decked out in red and was seen chatting and laughing with Kelce’s mom, Donna, in the team’s VIP suite. Kelce revealed that despite him offering to sort out a private entrance free of paparazzi for her, Swift wanted to live out the experience in full. “She just walked right through the front door,” he recalled. “There was no talking to security, making sure that she gets to her . She’s just like, ‘I just wanna be around the family and friends and experience this with everybody.'” The “Cruel Summer” hitmaker’s ability to stay grounded is what made Kelce fall for her. AP “She’s in the madness. She wants to be a part of it. She wants to support me and do things like that,” he said. “She really won me over.” “And I think that’s why I really started to really fall for her. Just how genuine she is around friends and family,” he added. When asked to name the most surprising thing about dating the “Wildest Dreams” hitmaker, Kelce detailed the press attention surrounding the pair. “ has been the craziest thing. Definitely the pulling up to the house, the just random, I don’t know,” he said. “She’s very self-aware. She understands situations like that and I think that’s why I really started to fall for her,” Kelce said. GC Images “It’s a different demographic than the NFL, so it’s been cool to dabble in that and see her following and everything. It’s been fun because a lot more kids are into the game and the Chiefs fans have turned into a lot of her fans. And her fans have turned into Chiefs fans, so I’ve had fun with every aspect of it.” “But when you’re at home, you want privacy, and you don’t always get that,” he added.

The Ultimate Keto Meal Plan.
Introduction:
The Keto diet has surged in popularity due to its promising effects on weight loss and overall health. Understanding the intricacies of this low-carb, high-fat diet is crucial for success. Equally important is crafting a well-structured meal plan to support your keto journey.
Understanding Macronutrient Ratios:
Fat, protein, and carbohydrates are the three macronutrients that form the foundation of any diet. However, on Keto, the ratios are distinct, with an emphasis on high fat intake, moderate protein consumption, and minimal carbohydrates.
Protein:
While protein plays a crucial role in muscle repair and overall body function, excessive consumption can hinder ketosis. Opt for high-quality proteins like grass-fed beef, free-range poultry, and fatty fish to maintain a balanced keto plate.
Carbohydrates:
The primary focus of the Keto diet is reducing carbohydrate intake to induce ketosis. Low-carb vegetables such as leafy greens, broccoli, and cauliflower are excellent choices for providing essential nutrients without disrupting ketosis.
Building a Balanced Keto Plate:
Crafting a balanced keto plate involves strategic selection of foods rich in healthy fats, high-quality proteins, and low-carb vegetables. This ensures satiety, stable energy levels, and optimal nutrition.
Healthy Fats:
Incorporate sources of healthy fats into every meal, such as cooking with coconut oil, adding avocado to salads, and drizzling olive oil over vegetables. These fats not only enhance flavor but also support ketosis and overall health.
High-Quality Proteins:
Choose protein sources that are minimally processed and free from additives. Grass-fed beef, organic poultry, and wild-caught fish are ideal options for meeting protein needs while adhering to Keto principles.
Low-Carb Vegetables:
Fill your plate with non-starchy vegetables that are low in carbohydrates and high in fiber. Leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, and zucchini are versatile options that provide essential vitamins and minerals without spiking blood sugar levels.
Crafting Breakfast Options:
Breakfast sets the tone for the day and is a crucial opportunity to kickstart ketosis. for satisfying breakfast options that are low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats and proteins.

Keto Smoothies:
Blend together coconut milk, spinach, avocado, and a scoop of protein powder for a refreshing and nutritious keto smoothie. Customize your smoothie with additional ingredients such as chia seeds, almond butter, or unsweetened cocoa powder for added flavor and nutrients.
Coconut Flour Pancakes:
Indulge in keto-friendly pancakes made with coconut flour, eggs, and unsweetened almond milk. Top with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh berries for a satisfying breakfast that feels like a treat without derailing your ketosis.
Lunch Ideas for Sustained Energy:
Midday meals should be nourishing and satisfying to keep energy levels stable throughout the afternoon. Opt for protein-rich salads, vegetable-based dishes, and wraps made with low-carb alternatives.
Eggs and Avocado:
Toss together grilled chicken breast, romaine lettuce, Parmesan cheese, and Caesar dressing made with olive oil and anchovies for a classic keto-friendly salad. Add bacon bits and avocado for extra flavor and satiety.
Dinner Delights for Keto Success:
Dinner is an opportunity to get creative with keto-friendly recipes that satisfy cravings and support your health goals. From seafood to stir-fries, there are endless possibilities for delicious and nutritious dinners on Keto..
Beef Stir-Fry with Broccoli:
Stir-fry thinly sliced beef with broccoli florets, bell peppers, and onions in a savory sauce made with soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. Serve over cauliflower rice for a hearty and satisfying keto dinner that's bursting with flavor.

Keto-Friendly Protein Bars:
Choose keto-friendly protein bars made with high-quality ingredients such as nuts, seeds, and collagen for a convenient and nutritious snack on the go. Look for bars with minimal added sugars and carbohydrates to support ketosis.
Hydration and Keto-Friendly Beverages:
Proper hydration is essential for overall health and well-being, especially on Keto. In addition to water, there are several keto-friendly beverages that can support hydration and enhance your keto experience.
Importance of Water Intake:
Water is essential for supporting digestion, regulating body temperature, and flushing out toxins, making it crucial for overall health on Keto. Aim to drink at least eight glasses of water per day, and more if you're active or live in a hot climate.
Herbal Teas and Infusions:
Sip on herbal teas such as peppermint, chamomile, or ginger tea throughout the day for added hydration and flavor. Herbal teas are naturally free from carbohydrates and can be enjoyed hot or cold for a refreshing beverage option.
Sparkling Water with Lemon:
Add a squeeze of lemon to sparkling water for a refreshing and hydrating alternative to sugary sodas and juices. The natural acidity of lemon helps promote digestion and detoxification while adding a burst of flavor to your drink.
Preparing for Success: Meal Prep Tips::
Meal prep is a key component of success on Keto, helping you stay on track with your goals and avoid unhealthy food choices when you're short on time or energy. Use these meal prep tips to streamline your keto meal planning and preparation.
Batch Cooking:
Spend a few hours each week batch cooking keto-friendly staples such as grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, and hard-boiled eggs. Store individual portions in containers for easy grab-and-go meals throughout the week.
Portion Control:
Use measuring cups, food scales, and portion control containers to accurately portion out your meals and snacks according to your keto macros. This helps prevent overeating and ensures you're getting the right balance of nutrients to support ketosis.
Utilizing Keto-Friendly Ingredients:
Stock your kitchen with keto-friendly ingredients such as coconut oil, almond flour, and sugar-free sweeteners to make meal prep easier and more enjoyable. Experiment with new recipes and flavors to keep your keto meals exciting and satisfying.

Overcoming Keto Challenges:
While the Keto diet offers many benefits, it's not without its challenges. From keto flu to social situations, here are some common obstacles you may encounter on your keto journey and how to overcome them.
Keto Flu:
During the initial transition to ketosis, some people experience symptoms known as the keto flu, including fatigue, headaches, and irritability. Stay hydrated, replenish electrolytes with salt and potassium, and be patient as your body adjusts to burning fat for fuel.
Staying Consistent:
Consistency is key to success on Keto, but it's normal to experience setbacks and fluctuations along the way. Stay focused on your long-term goals, celebrate your progress, and don't be too hard on yourself if you slip up occasionally. Remember, every small step forward is a victory worth celebrating.
Tracking Progress and Adjustments:
Tracking your progress and making adjustments as needed are essential for long-term success on Keto. Keep a food diary, monitor your macros, and pay attention to how your body responds to different foods and eating patterns.
Keeping a Food Diary:
Record your daily food intake, including portion sizes and macronutrient breakdowns, in a food diary or mobile app to track your progress and identify areas for improvement. This can help you stay accountable and make informed decisions about your diet and lifestyle.
Adjusting Macros as Needed
As your body adapts to ketosis and your weight loss goals evolve, you may need to adjust your macros accordingly. Experiment with different ratios of fat, protein, and carbohydrates to find what works best for you and supports your health and fitness goals.
Celebrating Non-Scale Victories:
In addition to tracking your weight and body measurements, celebrate non-scale victories such as increased energy, improved mood, and better sleep quality. These small wins are just as important as reaching your weight loss goals and can help keep you motivated and focused on your journey.
Conclusion:
Crafting the ultimate keto meal plan requires careful consideration of macronutrient ratios, food choices, and meal prep strategies. By prioritizing healthy fats, high-quality proteins, and low-carb vegetables, you can create delicious and nutritious meals that support ketosis and promote overall health and well-being. With consistency, patience, and a willingness to adapt, you can achieve your keto goals and enjoy the many benefits of this transformative diet.

Beginners Guide To Starting an Online Business: Online Business 101
Starting an online business can be confusing when you're just starting, and you might face many roadblocks and ah-ha moments. Then again, get lost. All this is because of not having a clear roadmap and starting wrong. When I started online, I encountered many hardships and pitfalls because I was not clear about the roadmap of starting an online business. But after four years of trial and error, I learned how you should approach when you are to start an online business. But first, let's start with a bit about why you're right to come up with the idea of getting started online. Affiliate Disclaimer: I may earn a commission from some links on this post, but it won't cost you anything extra. Your support helps me keep writing content like this.
The Internet: Your Gateway to Business Transformation
The Internet has revolutionized how businesses operate. It's not just for big players anymore; anyone, including you and me, can work remotely and earn a remarkable income. Starting: Minimal Investment, Maximum Potential A decade ago, starting a business required significant funds and patience. Today, the Internet lets you kickstart with minimal or no money. You can build an online business that scales to thousands or even six to seven figures in dollars monthly. And there's no limit to what you can achieve with perseverance, hard work, innovative work, and a bit of luck. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We3Hsrgmitg
The Basics: What You Need
When I started online, I didn't know how to start making money online quickly. To do that, you'll need two things: - Product to sell, or - Service to offer. Let's begin with the product. To build a business by selling products, you can sell thousands of products online. Some things you can sell in general are Courses, eBooks, clothes, toys, and more. Services you can offer And suppose you don't want to take risks by launching a product and want to offer services. You can start offering services like Copywriting, web design, virtual assistance, video editing, social media marketing, etc.
Image Source: Canva
How to Sell Your Products and Services
The next thing you should be doing after deciding on what to sell is to find a way to sell your product or services. Here's what you can do: - With digital products, you can use platforms like Etsy, Gumroad, Payhip, and Amazon Kindle publishing if it's an ebook. For physical products, Amazon and Flipkart can be great for the starter; you can always sell them on your website or through landing pages. - Freelance platforms like Fiverr and Freelancer can be great starting points for services. But I encourage most to create an agency and use the drop-service model to fulfill services because It's beginner-friendly.
The Power of Email Marketing
After setting up your shop, the most important thing you'll need is email marketing software to collect and nurture customers with emails. For that, you can start with GetResponse or AWeber, which are free to start if you're short on cash. These platforms come with built-in landing pages and funnel builders. So you can sign up and start using the demo templates.
Payment Providers
After everything is set up, you'll need a payment provider if you're selling the products and services on your website instead of using other third-party platforms. The best ones out there are: - Stripe. - PayPal. - Payoneer. - Wise. - RayzorPay (For India).
Generating Traffic: The Lifeblood of Your Business
Everything I've mentioned above is crucial for your online business, but the most important one is traffic generation, and it's the hardest to achieve. Without traffic (People visiting your store), you won't get any sales. So, you need to generate eyeballs for your offer through paid ads or organic methods using social media and SEO. - For faster results, you can use paid ads from Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Google Ads, and Native ads. But beware that it might drain your money quickly if you don't know about running ads. - So, I prefer the organic method. The organic method usually involves using social media and SEO-optimized blog posts to attract eyeballs to your business. It takes time but pays off in the long run.
Running the Numbers: Optimization is Key
Finally, Test, tweak, and optimize your strategies based on what works for your business. Always be open to learning. Ask questions, take new courses (Complete them), and find mentors if necessary. There are many more variables to starting an online business. But this is the most common concept of almost every online business. I hope you like the blog post.

Flipper Zero: il Tamagotchi degli hacker
Flipper Zero è diventato rapidamente uno dei dispositivi più popolari tra gli hacker e gli appassionati di tecnologia. Questo piccolo dispositivo, grande quanto un portachiavi, è una sorta di Swiss Army Knife digitale che può essere utilizzato per un'ampia varietà di attività come l'hacking di radiofrequenze, l'invio di segnali infrarossi, l'emulazione di smart card NFC e molto altro ancora.
Flipper Zero è il versatile gadget hacker del momento. Scopri perché viene soprannominato il "Tamagotchi degli hacker"
Ma perché Flipper Zero è stato soprannominato il "Tamagotchi degli hacker"? In questo post esamineremo più da vicino le capacità di Flipper 0 e spiegheremo perché questo dispositivo è diventato così popolare.
Perché viene chiamato il Tamagotchi degli hacker?
Flipper Zero ricorda un Tamagotchi in diversi modi. Innanzitutto, è piccolo, portatile e "adorabile". Proprio come curare un Tamagotchi virtuale, Flipper 0 richiede un po' di attenzione, manutenzione e aggiornamenti per sbloccarne tutte le funzionalità. Flipper 0 ha anche un elemento di "gioco" che lo rende divertente e coinvolgente per gli hacker. Hacking e modding il dispositivo per sbloccare nuove "abilità" aggiunge un fattore ludico che ricorda crescere e prendersi cura di un Tamagotchi. Inoltre, la comunità attiva di utenti di Flipper Zero condivide trucchi, suggerimenti e mod proprio come farebbe una comunità di appassionati di Tamagotchi. C'è un certo senso di appartenenza e scopo comune tra gli hacker che utilizzano Flipper 0.
Cos'è il Flipper Zero?
Il Flipper Zero (ecco il link del sito ufficiale) è un progetto nato su Kickstarter nel 2020, che ha raccolto oltre 4 milioni di dollari da più di 37 mila sostenitori. Si tratta di un piccolo computer basato su Raspberry Pi Zero, dotato di uno schermo OLED, una tastiera, una batteria ricaricabile e vari sensori e moduli di comunicazione. Il suo aspetto ricorda quello di un Tamagotchi, il famoso giocattolo virtuale degli anni '90 che simulava la cura di un animale domestico. Ma il Flipper Zero non è solo un giocattolo: è anche uno strumento per gli appassionati di hacking e di sicurezza informatica. Infatti, il dispositivo è in grado di emulare e intercettare diversi protocolli e segnali wireless, come NFC, RFID, 433 MHz, iButton e IR. In questo modo, è possibile utilizzare il Flipper 0 per aprire porte elettroniche, clonare badge e tessere, controllare dispositivi domestici e molto altro.
Come funziona il Flipper Zero?
Il Flipper Zero si basa su un sistema operativo open source chiamato Flipper OS, che permette di programmare il dispositivo in Python o in C. Il sistema operativo offre anche una modalità interattiva, in cui è possibile usare il Flipper 0 come una console per eseguire comandi e script. Inoltre, il Flipper Zero ha una personalità: si comporta come un animale virtuale che reagisce alle azioni dell'utente e al suo ambiente. Ad esempio, se il Flipper Zero riesce a hackerare una serratura, mostrerà una faccia felice; se invece fallisce, mostrerà una faccia triste. Il Flipper Zero è anche espandibile: grazie alla sua porta GPIO, è possibile collegare altri moduli e sensori per aumentare le sue funzionalità. Ad esempio, si può aggiungere un modulo Bluetooth per comunicare con altri dispositivi, o un modulo GPS per geolocalizzare il Flipper 0. Inoltre, il progetto prevede anche la realizzazione di una versione più avanzata del dispositivo, chiamata Flipper One, che avrà uno schermo a colori, una fotocamera, un microfono e altre caratteristiche.
Perché scegliere il Flipper 0?
Il Flipper Zero è un dispositivo che offre diverse opportunità di apprendimento e divertimento per gli amanti della tecnologia. Con il Flipper Zero si può: - Esplorare il mondo delle comunicazioni wireless e scoprire come funzionano i vari protocolli e segnali - Sperimentare con l'hacking etico e testare la sicurezza dei propri dispositivi e sistemi - Imparare a programmare in Python o in C e creare le proprie applicazioni per il Flipper 0 - Personalizzare il proprio Tamagotchi hacker con accessori e adesivi - Entrare a far parte di una comunità attiva e collaborativa di utenti e sviluppatori del Flipper Zero
Caratteristiche e capacità
Ma cosa può fare esattamente Flipper Zero? Ecco una panoramica delle sue principali caratteristiche: Radiofrequenze Flipper Zero può inviare e ricevere segnali nelle bande ISM Sub-GHz (433/868 MHz) utilizzando protocolli come Flipper, Yi-Home, broadlink. Può anche analizzare e decodificare i segnali di queste bande, il che lo rende utile per analizzare dispositivi wireless come telecomandi, campanelli wireless, serrature di garage e altro ancora. Infrarossi Flipper 0 ha un trasmettitore e ricevitore IR che gli consente di emulare segnali IR da telecomandi e altri dispositivi. Può inviare codici IR arbitrari o caricare database di codici IR esistenti per controllare TV, condizionatori d'aria e altro. NFC / RFID Il dispositivo supporta la lettura e la scrittura di tag NFC e la emulazione di smart card utilizzate in sistemi di accesso fisico e pagamenti contactless. Può leggere e scrivere su vari tipi di carte come Mifare Classic, Ultralight e DESFire. Generatore di forme d'onda arbitrarie Flipper 0 può generare forme d'onda arbitrarie fino a 10 MHz di frequenza, il che lo rende utile per testare vari sistemi e dispositivi che utilizzano segnali analogici. BadUSB La porta USB-C di Flipper 0 consente attacchi "BadUSB" in cui il dispositivo si finge vari tipi di periferiche USB per colpire computer e altri dispositivi. Può emulare tastiere, mouse e storage USB Rubber Ducky per eseguire payload.
Comunità attiva di utenti
Parte di ciò che rende Flipper Zero così divertente è la vivace comunità di hacker che condividono idee, progetti e modifiche. Gli utenti stanno costantemente trovando nuovi modi per estendere le capacità di Flipper Zero attraverso firmware personalizzati. Ad esempio, alcuni utenti hanno aggiunto il supporto per i protocolli LoRa e ESP-NOW consentendo la comunicazione Long Range. Altri hanno aggiunto emulazioni per sistemi di accesso Tesla e badge di hotel. C'è un intero ecosistema di app, firmware e accessori sviluppati dagli utenti.
Conclusione
Il Flipper 0 è un gadget innovativo e originale che combina l'aspetto ludico di un Tamagotchi con le potenzialità di uno strumento per l'hacking. Si tratta di un progetto nato dalla passione di alcuni appassionati di tecnologia che hanno voluto condividere la loro visione con il mondo.

heroforge hoes: pt 1(?)
i keep making guys in heroforge. i don’t know why. is this what ocd is???? i can’t stop????
anyway. i want to share these so that I can stop working on them. so that I can go “there. it is done. it has been put out into the world, and it is complete. stop adjusting tiny little things and do your fucking homework. or eat. or sleep. or shower.”
also, i am weirdly proud of them. but the point of me posting them is so that my brain will consider them “finished” and will stop adjusting every. little. thing.
99% of these are blorbos from my various shows. these are the ones I will be posting (in a series of posts so I don’t waste ALL of today), bc part of this obsession seems to be with getting things “right” - i.e. accurate to the source material. by solidifying one representation of them, and throwing it out into the internet, i’m filing them away under “vetted and approved.”
so please, please, please do not comment “oh you missed this actually :)” no matter how well meaning. keep it to yourself. I guarantee you, I have already thought of it and attempted to do a heroforge representation of it somehow. it’s a good system but it is limited. compliments are fine just. i can’t fix these. fix them yourself if you want but don’t tell me about it.
I’m going to do screenshots as well as links. heroforge is a free service and doesn’t have any ads or anything so it’s not gonna throw a bunch of popups at you. (you can buy heroforge pro but it just unlocks some extra stuff and early access).
For this one I’m going to start with just posting my good omens characters.
one of the first guys i made was Aziraphale, and I’m pretty proud of how he turned out
I was kind of PO’d that I couldn’t put the watch in his jacket but I think it worked out fine. I was originally going to give him a full afro (I’ve always liked the afro = halo look in aziraphale art) but the one they had kind of blocked off part of his face so I went with a shorter one. still a great style, just didn’t really work for me.
One thing I do wish heroforge had is the option to give a character stretchmarks*. I’ve always loved the headcanon of aziraphale with golden stretchmarks. I cobbled together these two options from other kinds of body decals, and I think they’re decent, but still. hf lets you make your characters pretty fat but the proportions can get a little fucky sometimes, especially when you consider that these guys were designed to be 3d printed.
*whenever I complain about heroforge not having something, understand that I am both a. very appreciative of it as a free, kickstarted service with limited staff and time and a variety of options for players of many different cultures, play styles, campaign settings, abilities, gender identities, etc. and b. thinking every goddamned day about the TWENTY-ONE discrete kinds of eyebrow scars you can put on your guy (and they all look the same!!!)
anyway.
here’s crowley!
smallest face tattoo I could find, I think it worked out OK. the shoes actually have the “reptile: black” skin texture lol but hf doesn’t really render individual scales for reptiles most of the time so it just looks black :/ he gets a molotov cocktail bc there’s no tire iron or car/bentley situation and i think he deserves it. as a treat. for the wine bottle on the ground you have the option to both put a label on it AND put a symbol on it, which is great, and there’s a LOT of symbols to choose from, but none that are just “scribbly writing that looks like a wine label” so i chose a rune of draconic power. I also wanted to do some secret scales for him, but again the body decal gods were not in my favor. here’s the two options I came up with.
the “dapples” are p cool and it’s awesome that they have so many options for vitiligo, but also given the sheer volume of “lizard/snake person/dragon/crocodile” options they have it’s real weird that there’s no all-purpose “scales” body decal.
speaking of snakes...here’s an all-snake person crowley. they let you be a “naga” (half-snake half-person, like a mermaid but snake) or a “serpent-folk” (a person-size snake). i didn’t do a naga since I have a person-crowley and a snake-crowley so just like. jam em up in your imagination.
as you can see, surprisingly few scales. the “bands” on the bottom are a body decal called “coral snake” that was the closest I could get to an overall scaly look. they got the belly scutes, the head, the hood (which is optional i just thought it looked nice on him), the tops of the forearms, the hands and some shoulder and back scales. but the real snakey bit - nada. fascinating. i still like him. I would’ve made him all one color and less shiny, but the “coral snake” bands have to stand out somehow, and I figured i’ll make up for the lack of scales in shininess
and the final good omens character I have made...anathema!!!!!
this one was Hard. so we got the Book, we got her bread knife (something left out of the show that I personally love), and I couldn’t really find many weird witchy looking instruments so I went with some bottles. her outfit is really just 50 shades of green and black, but it has all this lace and different kinds of fabrics to keep it interesting. here she’s just. different greens. and blacks. hf can’t do lace (completely understandable can u imagine trying to 3d print that??) and while you can sort of do different textures, it’s just not the same. I think she turned out OK though! glass in the glasses kind of just got in the way of seeing her eyes, so I took it out. I was surprised at how thick the frames are! they’re all like that - very sturdy. also this jacket is called “undercover jacket” hf my guy that is the loudest looking jacket i ever seen in my life.
now you may say ‘fuck finally, that’s the last good omens character i’ll stop reading this post now’ but ohohoho not quite so. you see. i do have several permutations of aziraphale and crowley, so while they’re not new good omens characters they are new takes on the boys.
now. before we go any further you must check out @worse0mens and their many wonderful fics on ao3. these versions of aziraphale and crowley are based on their marvelous Lord of the Rings AUs, and were made early into my heroforge phase, when it was mostly just me playing dress-up with this dnd character creator, before the Madness set in and it became an ocd thing. they’re some of my favorites of all time!
I’ll link the fics each of them came from next to each character, but I cannot suggest enough that if you like Good Omens aus or fics of any kind (perchance, omens of another kind?) I would highly recommend checking them out! ^v^
enough dillydallying, here’s Orc Crowley from “The Orc and the Elf” “What Remains of a Heart” and “The Good Orc”!
ladies, gents, and those of us who know better, you cannot make this dog look not derpy. i hate even saying derpy but there’s no other way to describe him. I tried every menu and sub-menu to see if there were any controls for the warg’s expression but alas, no dice. the warg mount just. looks like that. it’s a dope ass character model though can’t complain about that in a 3d printed model you’d never notice it, he just stares like he sees the end of all things and comprehends none of it. though maybe that’s accurate for some dogs. Rover didn’t strike me as a pinnacle of intellect when I was reading the fic (he is of course still a very very good boy!) but I did want to try and making him look more dynamic. c’est la vie!
I really had fun making this guy. one great thing about the heroforge coloration system (which I will always sing the praises of, it’s WILD how customized you can get without it being a burden to do for each character, there’s so many options) is that you can make anything glow if you want. I decided to give crowley little a eyeglow. as a treat. and I’m super glad I did! it makes them so distinct.
so. one of his hands is gripping the mane to hold on and one is just sort of. floatin. this is because for some reason, of the 3 “riding a horse/pony/warg” poses, none of them is “holding on to the very fast thing you’re riding” I guess it’s to make held items easier to distinguish, but it’s weird that it’s not even an option for characters who aren’t holding things. I had to get in the “advanced poses” menu and really finagle to get that one hand on Rover’s mane (that’s why its clipping through), and after those 15 minutes or so were spent I decided you know what, crowley’s a big strong orc, maybe he only needs one hand to hang on after all!
For some reason, I always wind up picturing crowley with freckles, and I am a sucker for magic people having like. glowing or weird freckles that look like stars. idk where this love came from but here it is. the fic describes crowley’s skin as “pebble-gray” so I went with a bright metallic silver for his freckles, and I’m really proud of how it turned out!
also for some reason while there’s a million daggers/shortblades you can have, only like. 5 of them can come in sheaths. the rest just hang loose wherever you decide to put them. hazardous! so crowley’s “twin daggers” wound up being kukri knives, since tbh I thought they looked cool and the basic “sheathed dagger” is like. really really small. which is great for some things but I figured crowley would have something with a little more heft.
the fic describes crowley’s sword as a “scimitar”, and the 2 swords hf has with “scimitar” in the name were just not sparking joy for some reason, so I looked up the sword I thought looked best (the janissary kilij) and it turns out it is a type of scimitar! incurable pickiness justified.
I pretty much just pictured elf aziraphale as normal aziraphale but with elf ears (i am not a huge elf fan, I very much enjoyed the fic dunking on thranduil lol), so I didn’t wind up making him.
I did make the hobbit!aziraphale from worse0mens’ other lotr au, There and Back Again (And Again, And Again...) though!
for some reason, when you click on “halfling” as an option, they don’t give you the hairy feet. idk if this is a dnd change for copyright reasons from the tolkien estate (everyone knows “halfling” = “hobbit” its just a matter of intellectual property and shit) or what, but I was kinda sad, since I was excited to have a woman with obvious body hair (there’s no decals for body hair either, except for upper chest hair). I tried to find various hairy-looking shoes, but no success. I did give her the vitiligo leg/foot decal and colored all of the patches to match her skin tone except for the bottoms of her feet, which I did a slightly darker color, to indicate calluses bc hobbits walk barefoot everywhere bc they’re just Built Different. I tried not to go too overboard with it though since she is a very clean and fastidious lady and generally just hangs out in her house (oh, to be a wealthy single hobbit spending the day reading unbothered by the whims of society...)
hf also doesn’t do patterns on clothes, unless they’re physically molded into the cloth (like anathema’s jacket). so no tartan :/ I imagined aziraphale to have a dark green tartan shirt under her vest for some reason so I chased that bliss, and otherwise generally followed the “brown and cream” theme.
I was going to try and get some braids and beads in her hair (if ya know ya know) but the braided buns all got rid of the loose strands framing her face and the other braids were really really long and kind of clashed with the vibe, so i stuck with the unbraided bun. and there’s no hair beads. which is fair tbh its a very specific thing (then again.....21 eyebrow scars)
for reasons unknown to me, some objects have a myriad of decals to choose from, and some only let you have blood splatter (and more recently, dirt stains or colorful powder stains). like, anathema’s “ornate book”? only blood splatter. but these books on the tops of the stacks here? a bajillion options. I went with a dragon (bc lol smaug-shadowing for the hobbit, which takes place after this fic) and some flowers to make aziraphale’s folk medicine book ;)
I don’t want to just complain abt all the stuff hf doesn’t have bc it’s a good, free service with no annoying ads, so I do want to say that the default coloring for the books and cups looked really nice - I only made a few tweaks, which is a big deal for my very picky eyes. letting you pick a “theme” which automatically colors clothes/gear/everything but the actual person is really useful for when you don’t want to go as deep in the paint as I usually do. you can still color each individual item if you want, but if you don’t want to do that it offers an alternative where it shows you like 10-15 basic color schemes for you to pick from.
I had to decide b/w the bowtie and the zirak-baraz necklace, and I went with the bowtie, since the necklace options really don’t jive with the look and she wears it under her shirt a lot of the time anyway. also, aziraphale + bowtie = iconic. the normal plain bowtie looked weirdly big on her and kept clipping so I went with another one that was wild west themed or something, but I think it still works.
I did run into hf’s weird ideas about body configuration here. they do let you make your guys decently fat, but it’s really hard to get a ratio that doesn’t look grossly exaggerated, and its partly based on species. the default setting for halflings is like, REALLY skinny, which sucks, and the default for p much all “female” versions of species is large tits and small waists. the waist slider is honestly kind of bullshit in terms of making realistic people. i 100% get that some people like to make cartoon-y looking guys or more caricature-like looks, but since I prefer more realistic-looking characters, I pretty much ALWAYS have to turn the waist slider all the way just for them to look healthy. and then it creates a weird dent where you can turn up the other sliders for weight but the waist is stuck at its maximum so you get these hourglass shapes with sharp corners. it gets covered up a bit when you put clothes on at least, you really can’t see it with aziraphale thankfully. but it does wind up putting a cap on how fat you can make your guys without them looking really unbalanced and cartoonish. I wanted to make her much chubbier but this was sort of as far as i could get with the waist restriction and clipping (and thats a whole other issue) without her look really unbalanced, and *SPOILERS FOR THE FIC* i wasn’t trying to make aziraphale in her pregnancy era here, and idk if it would’ve worked out well. *END SPOILERS*
For dwarf!crowley I wound up making 2 versions, one casual and one in traditional dwarven clothes (and a little grimier) on a pony (if you know you know), mostly bc while i love me some dwarves, i am not a tolkien expert and have only a loose grasp on the aesthetic. some of crowley’s outfits described in the fic are pretty basic, some more complicated, so I decided to do one for each.
here’s casual crowley
I wanted to give them matching teacups so it looks like they’re toasting each other ^v^
also crowley’s tea is way lighter than aziraphales bc i firmly believe this is a ‘coffee as dark as my soul’ ‘so like white chocolate mocha?’ relationship.
the dagger sheaths got me again with this one. crowley’s dagger is specifically described as having a leather sheath, and being as long as aziraphale’s arm. couldn’t get the dwarven runes bc again, the decal gods did not will it. this one is actually called a “disciple of death dagger” - yikes! at least there’s no skulls or anything lol
he’s got the “thin black shirt” from when he’s chopping wood, plus the axe. I couldn’t exactly get a serpent beltbuckle, but I tried to at least get some silver things on him to nod at the whole “crowley silvertongue” thing.
his pants are actually fucking mariachi pants. one thing that does kind of piss me off w hf is that there’s not just. a normal, basic ass pair of pants. or plain leggings. everything has a belt or fringe or pleats or something. the closest you get is scrubs but the drawstring just makes em look like sweatpants. and its not like there’s not basic shit for shirts! there’s a bunch of plain ass t-shirts! but this was sort of the closest I could get without having an extra belt. I will say that you will not lack for belt buckles in heroforge, but they are all the same basic, utilitarian kind for the most part.
both dwarves and halflings by default are really really short. I’m glad the fic specified crowley as 5 ft and aziraphale as 4 ft, which tracks w general tolkien lore n shit, but i had to scale them up a lot from the default setting. huh. another dnd difference?
hf also decided when you click on male dwarf, you still get decent sized tits. I think its the muscle in a compressed space. I am not opposed! i decided he gets to keep them, as a treat. he’s pretty muscular (”lanky for a dwarf” but dwarves are fuckin absolute units) so it checks out and it really works w the 3 button shirt v sexy (can you tell I think dwarves are more attractive than elves?)
the “earring” is my attempt as using the clipping to my advantage to make it look like a hair bead. I think it’s not bad, though you can definitely still tell its on his ear.
one thing that surprised me is the options for wearing braids: single braid (several variations, including queue (think the dai li from atla)). hair down with two braids on top (see above). cornrows (and several combinations of cornrows and afros/natural textured hair). braided bun. “bun held with stick.” “thick braided curls” (held back in an updo).
it surprised me bc #1 good on you hf for having a variety of options for people of color, i wish this wasn’t surprising but still, props #2 you can’t have pigtail braids (2 braids one on either side of your head), and #3 there’s only 1 option for having straight hair down and having braids mixed into it. idk maybe this is a regional thing to where I’m from but people having one or more braids mixed into straight/wavy hair that’s not tied up or in a bun or anything seems p common to me, and at the very least p common in the popular perception of dwarves and their aesthetics. not upset just confused.
I tried to make him a little bit paler due to the dwarf-living-underground thing but i cannot give up my freckle headcanon unfortunately - i just made them very light. maybe he gets them when visiting the shire.
here’s the other one, w the dwarven gear on the pony
it stopped letting me upload screenshots. I have committed way too hard to this. this might be a counterproductive endeavor. we’ll see I guess. here’s the url in case it fucked itself over https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D502896335/
the fuckin. even on a pony they don’t give you reins. i am confusion. w a warg i kinda get it theres not much to hold onto but a pony or horse? no excuse. reins let me at em. i did go through the trouble to get both his hands in there bc crowley does have a history of being bad with horses, and idk if this followed him into this au or if its ok bc its a pony, but i figured he should have both hands in there just in case. he’s very determined at the moment.
I really like the “roan” face decal bc it lets you get your guy grimy around the edges of his face, and as we all know grime is VERY important to the lotr experience. hopefully one day when I have a normal relationship with heroforge i can make an aragorn and he can be so so grimy. or perhaps i can just look up someone else’s aragorn heroforge to check on the grime factor.
its. tilted. the pony. its like tilted to one side. i don’t know why this is. it didn’t start out like that. i don’t know how it got like that. was it all the advanced hand posing to get crowley to grab onto the nonexistent reins??? how would that affect the pony tilting??? maybe he’s going around a very fast corner.
ok thats it. fuck. maybe this way a bad idea. either way, i am putting away these designs and saying “these are complete. I do not need to spend any energy on them anymore. they are done.” I’m even gonna mark their names to say they are done.
if you stuck w this all the way through you’re a fuckin lunatic and i love it.
i use tumblr primarily to either spit things into the void and get them out of my head, keep up on memes, and reblog/compliment fanart, so I really don’t care about any criticism, constructive or not**, and am very much asking you to not do that. compliments are fine just like. please don’t insinuate I should continue to work on these, or find problems with them. they are done. they have taken up far too much brainspace, and I need to let them go. this is me sending them off into the world. i mean use them for your dnd or whatever if you want, just talk to @worse0mens if its one of their characters obviously.
hope you’re doing well and that this was fun and not depressing. I am growing and healing each day. ^v^
**unless you’re worse0mens bc some of them are your characters and I want to be as respectful as possible towards them

if you know, you know.
——— a response to those who refuse to move on.
EDIT: after some encouragement and realizing that, while i tried to be respectful and private about this situation, i was not given the same treatment, i’ve decided to be upfront and filterless. here is a link to my page of receipts that i did not provide in this post.
i would like to point out that when i made the DNI, it was buried and sandwiched in my super long rules purposely so that it wasn’t explicitly visible and drawing attention. it was specifically put there for mutuals to understand my boundaries for the new blog, and as soon as i moved blogs, my guidelines underwent heavy reconstruction and the DNI section was removed overall ( i don’t like DNIs for myself ), as well as on this blog. all statements made in the DNI were what i felt to be true and based off of not only my experiences, but others’ as well, backed up with evidence i have saved that i didn’t feel the need to provide because it wasn’t meant to be a big deal, but i also felt i needed to explain why this person was on a DNI and that it wasn’t done out of malicious intent. again, if something sounds bad it is because “bad” things were done and i can’t control that.
reading the call-out had me ( and others ) confused on where it was i had bullied her, when i had her blocked since november, where it was i had manipulated her, and so forth. i’m always wanting to be a better person, so i was extremely confused on where i had done anything wrong. i also didn’t appreciate my new blog url being attached to it as it had nothing to do with it and i was trying to move forward, and it read very much like an attempt to blacklist. despite everything, i never wanted it to be a spectacle. the pinned, public call-out by this person doesn’t read to me as someone wanting to move on, but wanting to drag things further. this is not a call-out post, this is me defending myself. i will not name drop. if you know who this is about, i ask you just read this to understand the full story.
this is going to be a long boi ( i really tried to keep it short but alkfjdklfksldf nope ). i would also like to apologize for any dryness here, but i am aiming to just state facts as they are. it feels ---- ridiculous writing this all out because it’s something that could and should have been handled privately. but, here we go !!
everything on the DNI is true. i will not post or reveal the sources because one, they are not my stories to tell, and two, i am not going to give her the excuse to bother them. they deserve to be safe, and i am walking proof of what happens when you speak out against someone like her. if i have to bear that burden, then so be it.
it stopped being about “just a url” a long time ago. it became more about how i was treated in that interaction, and how i was continued to be treated afterwards. not to mention the increasing tension within the rpc and having to second-guess whether or not i was truly wanted. it was about how it was affecting those around me, my time in a hobby i love, and my mental health. the amount of times a mutual has tagged me by accident when they meant to tag her is insane. it most definitely did not feel good !!! if that kept happening, it was a problem. i also had to shut off the anon feature because of the amount of anons i was receiving. some had good intentions, but others had resorted to hate.
regarding the messages on discord --- i stand by them. i thought if you were friends with someone on discord and have previously talked over time, it was okay to message, otherwise what was the point of discord? i didn't realize it would make her uncomfortable to do so, and i’m more careful about how i approach people now !!!
regarding the messages: there was no change in tone other than that i grew exhausted and extremely anxious ( shaking !!! palms sweaty !!! knees weak !!!! mom’s spaghetti !!! ) and wasn’t in the proper mindset to sound happy while i was being invalidated to my face. i have even apologized there if i came off as mean. i don’t “present myself” in a way. that’s just how i talk, i prefer communicating one-on-one and i try to alleviate tension that arises no matter what because these types of conversations aren’t always a walk in the park. i wanted things to be good and not stressful for all parties involved. i’m sorry my tone came off as insincere. after being in desc rpc for a year, i was a little surprised seeing a near-identical url so i think it was fair for me to message her about it. she made the decision use it, and i was allowed to react. it was said misspellings in urls made her anxious so i wanted to help and i was shot down and vilified, essentially told i made her feel unsafe and shouldn’t have messaged. if it wasn’t okay to claim i felt “unsafe” and “paranoid”, why was it okay for her to claim the same based on a choice she made herself, but not me to feel anxious about those choices?
i have never told a blog to block her. i have never initiated conversation about her, nor have i spoken negatively about her as a person. ever. i have, in fact, even stated that i didn’t want anyone blocking and that it would be okay to interact. here’s one example after i was approached about her. i cannot control what other people do.
hardblocking her on my end was to avoid seeing her on dash as much as possible.
i am allowed to softblock / unfollow people who interact with her after months of trying to be okay with it. what kickstarted this process was someone i thought was a close friend had dropped me and suddenly i realized i didn’t need to sacrifice my comfort for the sake of keeping a mutual. if they could do it, so could i. while i adore the descendants rpc, the rpc is not a family, we’re not obligated to interact IC or be mutuals with every single person in the rpc. it’s not causing a rift when we don’t interact on dash. i have even emphasized that i would love to stay in contact via discord and write there if possible !! why am i being vilified for trying to make my blog a safe space for me?
regarding the “vagues”: they were all responses. a mutual wrote the post, i reblogged it, my tags were in response to the post ( said mutual’s url wasn’t even blocked out so ... ). if it felt like a vague, i can’t control that. the meaning behind the url post was circulating on dash, i didn’t see any vaguing in it other than me recounting my process of choosing this url, which was true ( was i not allowed to participate?? ). the shrek meme was in response to a public dash event ( which i originally thought was a joke ) that had received copious amounts of criticism for. it wasn’t a vague and it was explicit on what it was referring to, it was meant to be silly dash commentary, nothing deep.
this is in my rules but i have explicitly stated that my headcanons about my characters are not a vague if they differ from yours. the talk about hair styles was actually initiated in a conversation with my friends in private. it had absolutely nothing to do with her. if it sounded like a drag, i encourage everyone to look at how i’ve “dragged” many other things including the original outfits for descendants, evie thinking mermaid dresses are ugly, evie not liking wine, and so forth. my portrayal of evie =/= other portrayals of evie. while she may never do so-and-so, it doesn’t make it wrong for another portrayal to do it. ( why was my blog being kept tabs on and compared with, in the first place? that’s not duplicate friendly ).
regarding sex week: i've stated it was an inappropriate event because the descendants rpc had been heavily criticized for smutting and felt it wasn't the best response, nor was it the best way to promote sex positivity. it was insanely uncomfortable to witness, as someone in this rpc. it doesn’t matter if the people or the muses involved were adults, i would still call it inappropriate had it happened in any other rpc. it wasn’t a “block and move on” situation. i’m also allowed to defend myself because i didn’t want to be associated with something she posted. i didn’t want it tied to my url. i would like to clarify that when i said "embarrassing" in the responses under that anon, it was directed at the anon for misreading the url, nobody else. ostracizing occurred when the descendants rpc was being added to DNIs because of sex week / smutting, which was posted by this person ( if you post it, you start it. simple ). i had been blocked simply because i am a descendants blog and that had never happened before.
i was also notified that people uninvolved with this have been namedropping me on dash in an attempt to have me “written off” ( their words, not mine ) because my rules stated that i was open to exploring evie’s sexuality. below is a screenshot of my rule regarding smut. i deleted the rules page from this blog when i moved so i snatched it from my other canon descendants blog that i reuse on all blogs. the second is my elaboration on sexual content in my new evie rules. the third is what’s on my google doc, a condensed version of my rules. there is a major difference between smutting and posting a public dash event dedicated to sex versus being open to explore sexuality as a topic. they are not the same. also, me not choosing to smut does not dictate my opinion on smut, so do not make assumptions about that either. if you want to move on, why are you still talking about me on dash, especially when unprompted? if you just want to move on, why are you upset that i’m not “written off”?
this person has vagued me multiple times ( which they conveniently did not show in the call-out ), this person has been shown to talk badly of me in private ( and now, publicly as well ) ---- all of which i have not done. i have screenshots sent by others to show for it, but do not feel it’s relevant to share because this is not about her. this is just about defending myself.
i have spent three months apologizing for feeling things, apologizing for reacting, apologizing for things i should not have been apologizing for. i have spent so long accepting blame because i felt it would help. i’m done doing that. i know what i did and what i didn’t do. people know what i did and didn’t do.
all in all, i am confused on why a call-out was made when the content provides nothing other than catty remarks meant to air out personal drama. the messages exchanged only show how i tried to remedy things. the screenshots of my “vagues” were just responses, and most of which had nothing to do with this person. my initial silly dash commentary and later discomfort over a sexual dash event posted by this person is not a vague.
if you ( referring to maker of the call-out and others who partook ) are upset about people not talking about me in regards to the “rest of the call-out”, maybe consider the fact that there was nothing about me in it that warranted a call-out in the first place. people saw that i did nothing wrong. the only thing of substance in the call-out was something the maker themselves did : the public, sexual dash event. people are allowed to identify that as a more prominent issue as opposed to how my messages or public posts could be perceived through basic, biased narrative manipulation.
me deciding to unfollow / softblock blogs that interact with this person =/= involving the descendants rpc or making it public. i am allowed to softblock whoever i want to cultivate my dash experience. most people i know have it in their rules that they are okay with people softblocking for their comfort and that it won’t be taken personally. you know what IS making it public and involving the entire descendants rpc? this person messaging a descendants server and name dropping me in the server, reducing the situation to just being about a “url” and publicly announcing it in the server. here are the facts to consider: her message was sent jan. 21. my DNI went up feb 2.
so, regarding the call-out: there was no bullying, no manipulation, no harassment, no gaslighting, nothing from my end, and the call-out shows precisely that the claims are just that: claims. whatever was felt is valid, but feelings =/= gravity of the actual action itself - the most common thing pointed out in therapy: feelings are valid, but are they justified? call-outs should be reserved for people who cause actual harm, not because someone wants an excuse to blacklist. if i am a “bully” for unfollowing blogs for my own comfort, then i think the rpc really needs to reevaluate what these terms mean because the misuse is harmful.
here are the things i did do: treated everyone i talked to with respect. approached things civilly. communicated. tried to accommodate for others. attempted to make a safe space for myself. did not involve the entire rpc by announcing it in a server. did not make a call-out post nor pin it. did not continue to name drop afterwards despite claiming to want to move on.
this entire situation is absurd and should have never been public, much less made a call-out for !! while this was meant to defend myself and state facts, i understand it may not change minds. a friend has told me that people will hate me because they want to hate me, no matter what. and i can’t do anything about that !! all i have to say is that holding hate in your heart never ends well. i hope everyone can find peace at some point.
so please, let me move on. let me write with my friends. let me unfollow / softblock people to keep my dash comfortable. let me take a break from descendants while also having the choice to return at anytime. please stop talking about me when i’m not even giving this another thought and haven’t since i moved blogs. please stop name dropping. stop keeping tabs on me, stop stalking my new blog. please leave me alone. i hold absolutely nothing against anyone i may have softblocked / unfollowed or am not currently interacting with on my new blog. my IMS / discord is always available, you will not be violating my safety by messaging me, everyone is welcome, but i also understand if you feel the need to separate yourself !!! as for those of you who have interacted with the call-out post, i wish you the best but i hope you understand why i do not want to interact with you by any means in the future.
i’m hoping this post lays everything to rest, seeing as my first one did not. honestly, what are you trying to prove if you still have to post about this? it helps nobody. this back-and-forth is exhausting and unneeded. no more. let’s be better people, yeah?
i hope everyone takes care of themselves, i hope you all have a great day / night !!! thank you for reading this long boi !!
