LOOK AT MY DND PARTY

(im the yellow-green guy with a dinocat :D)

left to right on above image:

- mossfrog (dragonborn, sorcerer, will fireball anything and worships frogs)

- salmon (tabaxi, warlock, has conversations in funny voices with her hexblade)

- pelleas (half orc, paladin, is injured by the party more than the enemies and very possibly has rabies)

- eirua (drow, rogue, has destroyed more egos than lives)

(there is one guy missing because they joined later so i havent drawn them yet but they are d’ish the survivor, a 2’7 purple grung monk and i love them :D)

Some more random Botw/Totk/Aoc sketches I WILL post on instagram once I’ve finished another handful I have sitting on procreate!

I’ve got it stuck in my brain that following the events of Age of Calamity the Yiga clan work closely with the castle and I like to think Kohga prides himself on his new promotion

Though he’d never put himself in harm’s way, so I definitely see that third drawing happening on the castle grounds where Zelda is definitely not in any danger

(Also? Daruk and Mipha? Definitely gossip buddies)

I JUST *LOVE* THEM ALL SO. MUCH.

i need to share the absolute fucking Experience i had playing minecraft tonight. i'm gonna be emotional about it for days

so me and my friends like to play on this server that's pretty much just a bunch of minigames. one of them is Murder Mystery - of a group of - i think its 13/14 people - one person is randomly selected as the murderer (spawns with a sword), the other as the sheriff (spawns with a bow). the rest are innocent. the innocents can gain a bow by collecting coins. no one knows anyone's status unless the player shows their sword/bow. i'm doing a quest where, in order to get points, i need to kill the murderer.

so as the game start countdown begins, me and my pal are checking out this Red Link skin. it's pretty neat! we're all crouching and punching at each other, as one does. i feel a connection form with Red Link. we're buddies now. we're in this together.

so we're all running around the map. every time i see Red Link, we crouch and punch at each other. the game is going fine, we're having fun. i'm delighted that i've made a one-game friend.

then my friend says that Red Link is the murderer, and i literally have a hard time believing it. Red Link? my Red Link? no, they must be mistaken. we were together at the start. they had ample opportunities to kill me. it can't be Red Link. but whoever the murderer killed was the sheriff, and i needed to complete the quest - picking up the sheriff tombstone grants me the bow.

so i run, trying to find it, and i turn the corner.

there Red Link was, standing at the end of the hall, by the tombstone, with a sword in hand. i froze. i was so upset - not Red Link! not my dear companion! i was so sure that was it.

but i walked forward anyway, thinking that maybe if i dodged around them, grabbed the bow, and turned and shot fast enough, i could get them. the thought was actually distressing! Red Link didn't put the sword away. they watched me slowly approach. we stood on either side of the tombstone, and i expected Red Link to cut me down. i was well within reach of their sword.

Red Link calmly, still looking at me, moved to the side and past me. i panicked and grabbed the bow, ran to the corner, turned and drew - Red Link was already at the other end of the hall, running away. i didn't want to shoot, but i needed the kill - who knows when i'd get an opportunity to complete the quest again. it's a tough one.

i missed, thank fuck, but man. i was in shock. i thought i was a goner.

then, after the game where awards are given - the murderer, who killed them, who collected the most coins - i went up to Red Link and crouched. they crouched back.

then they left the game.

I think in the next Animal Crossing, you should have to earn your control over the environment. And I don’t just mean working to get terraforming, I mean, like, earning it before getting to decide where other people’s homes are and stuff.

Idk, the deserted island is fun but I kind of hope in the next one we’re back to being a new face in an already established rural community. And you can still progress to moving absolutely everything on the map and decorating each square foot and flower to your liking, but, like… these other people have lives of their own.

I like knowing a rando isn’t gonna move onto my carefully curated flowerbed and ruin my path, but I don’t like how much the villagers in ACNH feel like fashion accessories rather than neighbors.

Big fan of sun and moon themed characters who are burdened with a destiny they need to find/fulfill.

And the random funny rogue who they go on silly (read: lifechanging) adventures with.

Just had a wild dream that Tumblr had bought an island and teenagers could go and live on it (think like a semester abroad, so there was a cycle of new teens every few months) and while these teens were there they would occasionally take everyone and sit us down and play scenes of this animated show they were developing and you weren't allowed to talk about it if you left the island and they made you sign a bunch of NDAs and they were trying to make this show get picked up by a bigger network but no one wanted it since it was Tumblr making the show and the show was like. It had 3/8 seasons fully animated and they were showing us what they had made so far to get our opinions on it (since it was meant to be aimed at teenagers) and it was actually kinda good it was about a group of 8 teenagers living on this island (the island we were living on was slightly modeled to look like the one in the TV show) and they were being trained? As superheroes I think???? Not sure but each season was them going through these super dangerous obstacle courses/dangerous lands it was strange like the first one was this massive underground cave system with lots of lava and I think the second was on the surface but it was like weird go-karting but they weren't on a track instead it was like this absolutely huge massive flat blacktop where they had to fight a giant stone golem? And the third season they were in this place that was similar to sugar rush from wreck-it Ralph but without the go-karting and the show was full of interpersonal drama between these teens and then slowly bonding and everyone fucking loved it and they were asking us what to name it right before I woke up and a bunch of us wanted it to be called "School Heroes" for some reason

I know I talk pretty regularly about Faramir's weird command over animals, both because he's my fave and it's cool, and because it's just such a strange detail. But I've also been thinking for awhile about some less direct but still intriguing quotes about how he relates to animals.

So, the usual ones first. Here's Beregond, describing Faramir getting his horse to run towards five Nazgûl while the other horses are fleeing:

‘They will make the Gate. No! the horses are running mad. Look! the men are thrown; they are running on foot. No, one is still up, but he rides back to the others. That will be the Captain [Faramir]: he can master both beasts and men.’

Then there are nameless soldiers in Minas Tirith, watching the orderly part of the retreat across the Pelennor:

The watchers held their breath. 'Faramir must be there,’ they said. 'He can govern man and beast.’

(For context, the ancient Númenóreans he takes after could summon particularly beloved horses by thought alone.)

But also, back in TTT, we heard some interesting details that may be pertinent. Firstly, there's Faramir himself, speaking to Sam:

'Were I as hasty as you, I might have slain you long ago. For I am commanded to slay all whom I find in this land without the leave of the Lord of Gondor. But I do not slay man or beast needlessly, and not gladly even when it is needed.'

And when Anborn reports glimpsing the creature that turns out to be Gollum, he says to Faramir,

'You will not have us slay wild beasts for no purpose, and it seemed no more, so I tried no arrow.'

I think the suggestion here is that it's not standard policy for them to avoid killing wild animals, but a command from Faramir specifically. And he's clear here that he doesn't kill animals for any purpose other than necessity.

And I mean ... if I could get nervous animals to run straight towards Ringwraiths, I'd probably feel weird about killing them, too. But it all does fit together very neatly.

I love that cats purr. "I'm so happy and content right now I must vibrate to communicate it"

@oroontheheels they’ve been coming to our feeders for years now and we put food out for them but they’ll still quite skittish and fly away if we get near or sometimes even if we stare at them too long lmao (very suspicious birds)

So we’re like… neutral to them I think. “bring me more food but don’t get near me or perceive me.”

Admittedly it would probably help if I tried to slowly get closer over time when I feed them or hang out close by after putting it out (our feeders are pretty far from our house) and build trust that way.

That’s how I once befriended a horde of feral cats at our old house.

(I’m also not sure if we put food out consistently enough either since it’s not every single day but they do show up when we do so they know it’s there sometimes!)

We do give them peanuts actually! :) they love them.

You know I was surprised to learn blue jays were corvids too a while back and we get a lot of those too. Those guys love peanuts too. They’ll divebomb squirrels trying to get them and each other!

I will say watching the crows is generally just fun. The way they mob any hawks trying to lurk around the bird feeders looking for a quick meal is hilarious. Also their alarm calls act as alarm calls for all the other animals too I noticed. Everything will bolt. They’re like little feeder guardians!

random thought but what if the police car that Yuki’s mom has as her pfp means that her husband is a police officer?

it would be hilarious if kazuki and rei are able to escape the police during a chase bcs of that. like, a police officer investigates a back alley during pursuit of a murder suspect and he sees the nice, if a little strange, dads of his child’s friend instead and thinks that the suspect must have gotten away. meanwhile, the two hitmen are hiding murder weapons behind their backs.
