helloooo! 🐱🐭🐵 (from rhvpsodos-fr)
🐱Share a dragon that should be in prison but currently isn't
Tumblr media
several of mine definitely, but the biggest example without a doubt is Asmodeus, he is the CEO of a big company, so you can imagine the working conditions and treatment of employees isn't the best... his image hasn't been quite ruined yet because of sheer economic and social power and being good at keeping appearances
second one has been answered here!
🐵FREE SPACE: Share 2+ dragons with a special relationship dynamic you want to highlight!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Boreas is an ice mage who lives in his own travelling cart in the outskirts of the city, which he visits on occassion. one of these times however, he finds Void, an ellusive cryptid (think a sorta bigfoot equivalent to dragons) that wanders the streets during the nights. most dragons are scared or even try to attack her, but he realizes that she is not being hostile, that she is nice even. Boreas' somewhat cold exterior starts to break the more he visits and bonds with her. they end up in a loving relationship, with two children

Hi @anna-de-belle​, no worries. I know that there are some questions that there’s just no way to phrase in a way that doesn’t sound confrontational. ;P
On why I tag Christianity
In this specific case
I tagged Christianity because I wanted Christians to come upon my invitation to talk, and if I just tagged the post as atheism most of the people who would come across it is fellow atheists, which would kinda defeat the purpose. :P
In general
Usually, the reason I tag Christianity has nothing to do with Christians. I try to remember to tag my posts with tags related to the topic discussed in the post for posterity so that I, my followers, or anyone searching through my blog in the future is more easily able to locate posts based on topic.
The fact that this means Christians get exposed to atheists and atheist points of view is just a nice bonus side-effect.
On atheists and rudeness
That’s a coooomplicated question. To simplify, I’m breaking it down into topics that, when put together, I think explains your question.
1. Difference in perspective of what constitutes as rude
While there are plenty of instances when it is rudeness (we’ll get to that), a lot of the time what Christians perceive as rudeness is really just neutral irreverence for a religion, a religious character, or a religious aspect. 
To me, for example, the Bible is legitimately no different from the Iliad or the Epic of Gilgamesh. From my point of view I really is just an old storybook. It has its merits from an archaeological perspective to be sure (which I’ve talked about before), but I don’t view it as something to be respected or revered any more than the Eddas or the Book of the Dead.
If you’re emotionally invested in the Bible and have been taught that it is taboo to mock, criticize, and/or treat it without reverence, my merely saying that I think the Bible is a storybook can seem antagonistic and rude even though it’s actually a neutral statement of belief. 
For example, I’ve literally had people get defensive over a post that just quoted an excerpt of the lyrics of a song:
“I don’t believe in Jesus I don’t believe in Zeus I don’t believe in Allah I think they have no use I don’t believe in Adam I don’t believe in Eve I don’t believe in talking snakes I think it’s make believe.”
All the song did was list off things the singer doesn’t believe in, but because the lyrics mentioned things from the Bible, I had Christians accusing me of being disrespectful and of going after Christians. 
They felt personally attacked simply because someone said “I don’t believe the same thing as you”.
When the bar for what constitutes as disrespect is so low, anything other than agreement becomes rudeness at best.
Here’s a rule of thumb test to rule out this kind of miscommunication: 
When you come across an atheist saying something you think is rude, take a moment to think if it would be a rude thing to say if it were being said about something pertaining to a secular equivalent or the equivalent from a religion you think is false.
E.g. “I think the Bible is a poorly written book” --> “I think Harry Potter is a poorly written book”
“God as depicted in the Bible is a monster” --> “Zeus as depicted in Greek mythology is a monster”
“I don’t believe in God” --> I don’t believe in Bigfoot”
Does it still sound rude when you replace it with things you don’t hold reverence for?
If not, it's not a rude thing to say about that religion/religious aspect either.
2. Online disinhibition effect 
If you’re talking about online interactions, it’s worth remembering that lots of people behave veeeery differently when talking in person versus being behind a screen. Online interactions, especially regarding sensitive topics, have a much higher likelihood of featuring negative behaviour because people think that being behind a screen gives them the ability to say anything because they’re anonymous and “it’s not real life”. 
In other words, some people are jerks when given the chance.
3. The process of deconversion
It is not uncommon for people going through the deconversion process to go through a process which seasoned atheists tend to call the “Angry Atheist Phase” (the term being a reclamation of the stereotype propagated by theists). 
The Angry Atheist cohort is typically made up of recently deconverted people who are, quite understandably, feeling angry at having been indoctrinated into a religion as a child. Being a lifelong atheist I can’t speak on this phase from personal experience, but from what I understand from listening to atheists’ recollections of their deconversion experience (e.g. Vi la Bianca from Talk Heathen), the most common source of anger is a feeling of “having been duped”.
It’s also worth remembering that baby atheists are having to deal, likely for the first time, with things like fearing being disowned for being atheist (it’s a common occurrence), going through being disowned, dealing with having to come to terms with no afterlife (and maybe mourning all over again the death of a loved one), and other issues they didn’t have to worry about as a theist.
Being irreverent and even outright rude for the sake of being rude towards a religion can often be a cathartic thing of finally feeling free to speak and criticize without fear of retribution from a deity.
It’s a common part of the deconversion process and is usually a phase (how long it lasts will vary from person to person). Angry atheists are a real and valid part of the atheist community but not all of us qualify under the label.
4. Atheists as an oppressed minority
Being irreverent and outright rude to one’s oppressors is an age-old tactic of resistance. 
You may not have ever considered atheists oppressed or Christians their oppressors, but it is a real thing. 
In some places, the oppression is overtly dangerous (and in many cases outright deadly) in nature:
In 2013 in Bangladesh Ahmed Rajib Haider, an atheist blogger, is attacked by religious people just outside of his home. His body was so badly mutilated that his friends could not recognize his corpse.
In 2014 in Egypt the youth ministry launched an organised campaign against non-belief among the young, designed to spread awareness of the “dangers of atheism” and the “threat to society” that it supposedly poses so that young atheists in particular, who are increasingly vocal on social media, would be given “a chance to reconsider their decisions and go back to their religion.”
In 2014 in Nigeria Mubarak Bala was admitted to a psychiatric hospital in Kano by his parents when they found out he was an atheist. His father and uncles held him down for 30 minutes and forced him to take medications given by a psychiatrist, who told him “everyone needs God”.
In 2015 in Bangladesh Faisal Arefin Dipan, a publisher of atheist literature, was stabbed and chopped to death in his office, and Oyasiqur Rahman,  a secular blogger was butchered by religious people using meat cleavers.
In others, the oppression can seem like “less of a big deal” (note: this is a minuscule sample):
Atheist parents are significantly less likely to be given custody. Yes, it’s a thing. (This is nothing new either -- Percy Shelley lost custody of his kids when his wife died because he was out as an atheist and thus deemed an unfit parent.)
It’s not uncommon for atheists to get disowned if they are outed or if they come out; if memory serves it was Don Baker (a gay atheist) who once compared being an atheist to being akin to being gay in the sense that we share a lot of the same fears of oppression (disownment, loss of employment, being in the closet vs out, etc).
I’m not out in my everyday life. 
I’m only out to two people in my life: my mom, and my foster sister. I can’t afford to be (metaphorically and literally).
In Canada (where I live) for example, it’s legal for me to be fired from my job for being atheist if I work at a public Catholic school (which I have worked in in the past) and get found out. It’s also legal to deny enrollment to a student at a public Catholic school if the student or their parents are atheists. (The same goes for non-Catholics in general, queer folk, and even divorced folk). 
Our national anthem is also a prayer to the Abrahamic god.  (If you think that’s not a big deal, imagine your country’s anthem being a prayer to Krishna or Allah and see how you feel.)
In the US, the Boy Scouts of America are allowed to ban children from joining if they are atheist, which is a rule they enforced in 1991 against two 10-year-olds. One of the witnesses for the  Boy Scouts of America’s defense in court was Ricky Slavings, a sociology prof from Radford University in Virginia, who testified that allowing atheists to participate in the BSA would “reduce the power and importance (of religion) in the eyes of the other boys” and that it was “likely” that if atheists were allowed to participate in scouting that their atheism would “spread to other members of the group.”
Tumblr media
The money references the Abrahamic god. (If you think that’s not a big deal, imagine your country’s money invoking Krishna or Allah and see how you feel.)
Politicians invoke their god in politics frequently. (If you think that’s not a big deal, imagine your country’s politicians invoking Krishna or Allah when making speeches and policies and see how you feel.)
In several US states the state’s constitution (e.g. Texas’) states that you must believe in a god in order to be eligible for office. The Supreme Court has deemed this unconstitutional but it’s still technically in the books.
5. Perception bias
It could also be that you have a bias for noticing the rude atheists more than the polite atheists. Not consciously, necessarily, but if your brain is already subconsciously primed to view atheists as rude/aggressive/etc it might engage in perception bias.
I’m not trying to gaslight you into thinking that you’re just imagining things by any means, but rather just to remind you to keep in mind that this is a thing that exists and could be playing part in your experience without you even realizing it.
Tumblr media
Feel free to ask any questions you’ve always been too shy/afraid/embarrassed to ask. So long as a question is asked in good faith I won’t take offence. :)

The Chupacabra
The Chupacabra is a popular legend from the Americas, primarily seen in Central and South America. It is a creature known for attacking animals, including goats. Its name actually comes from this reputation, roughly translating from Spanish as “goat-sucker.” Britannica’s article describes the Chupacabra as the southern equivalent of Bigfoot.
The Chupacabra only recently emerged as a cryptid, with the first sighting agreed as being in Puerto Rico in 1995. There was a surge of attacks on livestock and other domesticated animals, which were vampirically drained of blood. There are a variety of physical descriptions for the Chupacabra, with earlier reports describing a kangaroo-like reptilian that stood on its hind legs and had glowing red eyes. The same Britannica article states that no specimens of this description were ever found, with skeptics chalking up many of these sightings as coming from the recently-released movie Species, which has a monster closely resembling this description. Another, possibly more common, description of the beast also emerged. This one is smaller and more canine-like, walking on four legs. They were described as hairless. People did come up with “evidence” and “specimen,” but they were ultimately identified as being from known species. These species, mostly noted as coyotes, dogs, and other similar animals, actually had mange, to which their strange behavior and appearance are attributed.

Darklands: Von Eschenbachs Represent!
The dangers of low reputation.
            It’s becoming clear that a large part of Darklands is developing the party’s fame. Fame gives the party access to more political and economic leaders, and thus more quests, and thus more rewards, and thus more fame. This eventually leads to the main quest? I’m still not certain about that. But in a game where the ultimate goal is to retire with a high score, fame is a key metric. Since I began the game, my party has progressed from 0 to 168 (“modest reputation”). I started at 95 (“barely known”) for this session.         
The party’s status at the end of this session.
         Related to fame, but not the same thing, is local reputation. I gather that fame is a global measure while local reputation has more to do with how the immediate region sees you. You can be famous and still despised by a particular city. In general, cities seem to be warily neutral towards the party, no matter what fame they’ve achieved elsewhere, until they start doing things for that city. But it’s much easier to gain local reputation. One night of killing alley thieves is enough to get you to “respected” level, and a single robber knight quest makes you “a local hero.”            
Sneaking into a robber knight’s castle.
         I thought one approach might be to build local reputation over a certain value (say, 50) in a systematic order as I worked my way through the cities. As this session began, I had just sneaked my way into Schleswig, where my reputation was -20 and guards were actively looking to arrest me. I got it to the positives (albeit single digits) by spending several nights hunting thieves. It’s not a bad way to spend time. My armor is good enough that the thieves don’t even do any damage by now, and I still occasionally improve weapon skills by clonking them on their heads. 
While dealing with thieves helps with local reputation, it seems to do nothing for overall fame. For that, you need to accomplish things outdoors or to finish quests. Killing robber knights adds a reliable 10 points to fame and also significantly increases local reputations in the towns that gave you the robber knight quest. By the time I left Schleswig, I had 4 quests to kill the same robber knight, and I picked up another 2 in Hamburg. Unfortunately, that robber knight was again Anton Seibt. I guess the game just keeps re-using the same names for robber knights in the same region, no matter how many times you kill them. That breaks the immersion a bit.           
How many times do I have to kill you?!
        This session, I kept careful note of what actions led to what effects on reputation and fame. This is what I noted.
           Killing a robber knight: +10 to fame, +50-60 in local reputation at city where quest was given
Retrieving an artifact from a shrine: +10 to fame (even before turning it in to the quest-giver)
Donating money to a small village church: +3 to fame (may not be consistent)
Killing a pack of alley thieves: Between +1 and +3 to local reputation.
Getting rejected for an audience with the leader of a city: -1 to local reputation. 
Getting physically ejected from the city hall: -10 to local reputation.
Attacking city guards: -40 to local reputation
          Actions that didn’t have any effect, which surprised me: trying to sneak or coax my way into or out of cities; giving money or escorts to traveling pilgrims; bribing guards; donating large amounts to churches; rescuing merchants from bandits; destroying villages practicing witchcraft; or killing bands of roving marauders in between cities. I also didn’t find any actions that had a negative effect on fame.           
Getting a miscellaneous artifact quest.
            In this session, I spent over a year moving randomly around the landscape. I mean that literally. Every time I reached a crossroads, I used a random number generator to determine which path I took. Yes, sometimes this took me backwards, but I almost always had as many quests (or quest rewards) in my backpath as in any of the forward options.
Upon reaching a city, I settled in to a comfortable pattern, at least assuming it was a new city and my reputation was 0:         
Enter during the day
Immediately head for the Kloster or university and ask to study a saint. That process usually takes until nightfall. Donate money if I need the divine favor.
Spend the first night killing thieves, so as to boost my reputation to “respected.”
The next day, visit the political leader and the Fugger, Medici, and Hanseatic League representatives for quests.
Sell any excess equipment in the markets and look for potions and potion ingredients to buy.
Rest at the inn if I needed it; otherwise, continue on.
         Purchasing potions is a good way to get rid of excess money–fast.
            In between the cities, I’ve killed numerous robber knights. I purged at least three villages of Satanism. (Each one offered me a hint about where the Satanists would next meet to “get revenge,” but I’ve always been too far away to get there in time.) I killed a couple of lords who were oppressing their peasants. I’ve escorted and donated to countless packs of hapless pilgrims. I’ve killed so many bandits and highwaymen that I must be approaching a whole percentage of the population. I’ve recovered several artifacts from pagan altars. I’ve fought off wolves, boars, spiders, and schrats in the dozens.
I’ve come to not like the quests in which I’m asked to sneak into a Fugger, Medici, Hanseatic, or other office in the middle of the night and retrieve documents or something. Success in these missions involves a sequence of skill checks, starting with sneaking into the market in the first place, then actually opening the doors. Sometimes, the doors are trapped, and several times, they’ve refused to open even when I have an NPC with a high “Artifice” skill. They often give me the option to use “Eater-Water” potions (which never work) or “Thunderbolt” potions (which inevitably summon the guards). If I happen to be successful, the rewards are low, and I think it might lower my local reputation. I’m probably going to stop doing these missions.               
I’m not even sure he’s telling me the whole story.
         I had meant to return to Goslar eventually and finish that “knocker” quest. Now I’m hearing rumors that the mine at Freiburg is having the same problem. I’m not sure if this means there are two potential mine quests, or if I waited too long in finishing the first one. I guess the only way to tell is to return to Goslar and see if I can resume.
A couple of interesting things happened regarding the Wild Hunt. In a couple of cases in which I heard the Hunt approach, I perceived that it was after a helpless schrat–a hairy “wild man” of Germanic legend who I suppose is equivalent to Bigfoot or the yeti. Both times, I saved the schrat, who rewarded me with an increase in strength for one character. Later, a holzfrau–a female schrat–showed up a few times to warn me of an approaching Wild Hunt. She told me that I could protect myself from the Wild Hunt if I learned of St. Wenceslaus. As it happens, I know quite a good deal about Wenceslaus and flesh and wine and pine logs hither, but I suppose my characters don’t. I haven’t been able to find a Kloster that teaches of him. This would be more of a priority if my party got seriously beat up by the Wild Hunt, but it’s always just one hunter, and it’s not hard to kill him.              
A holzfrau helps protect me against the Wild Hunt.
          I had been so used to thinking of the schrats as friends that I was surprised when a group of them attacked me later in the game. There didn’t seem to be any “noble” way to avoid the combat, so I reluctantly killed them.         
Fighting schrats. I thought they were my friends!
         Miscellaneous notes:
             The mayor of Flensburg has given me the quest to kill Anton Seibt three times and has never rewarded me for it once. The quest utility says that all three are still active.
Nothing has ever happened to me at the clothmakers’ guild. I only ever get options to leave.
              I’m sure glad I visited!
         Similarly, reading notices, engaging in gossip, and listening for rumors only ever produces the same notice prohibiting people from being out at night. 
During this session, Lambert achieved a skill of 45 in “Healing,” and now my characters regenerate 3 points per rest session. That really makes a difference.
            Lambert studies while everyone else just relaxes.
          The save game system is a bit annoying. Every time you save, the game generates a new file. To whatever name you give the file, it prefixes your current location and date. It then precedes to sort these files in absolutely random order, so it’s a hunt to find your last save, and you have to constantly delete the excess.
           What is the logic of this order? It is neither by date, nor alphabetically by location, nor alphabetically by the name I gave the file.
       It took me this long in the game to realize that the “leader” is different than the person at the head of the “marching order.” This is why I got kicked out of every alchemist’s shop for the first 20 hours. Somehow, the leader had been set to Bianca, who has the worst charisma and speech skills, and for at least two game sessions, she’s been doing all my bargaining and coaxing. It’s a wonder I’ve been successful at anything.              
That Bianca passed this particular skill check–which resolved the situation at the top of this entry–is a miracle.
            Towards the end of the session, something happened that I think may be the first step–or an early step–on the main quest. While sheltering from a blizzard one night near Passau, everyone in the party had the same dream. It started with a terrible demon looming over a bloody altar stone while crazed Satanists danced nearby. In succession, we then saw an ancient monastery populated by monks wearing white robes with blood-red crosses, and two seals that broke apart to reveal seven paths on the other side, each path with its own terrors–famine, fire, storms, poison, etc.–that slowly grew to overcome the world.              
You all awaken from the dream in the early morning sunlight. There is no doubt that you have been called. The only question is, what should you do now? As in most dreams, there is no clear path of action only premonitions.
            True, but I have a couple of ideas. One involves returning to the northern part of the map and trying to find the seer that I encountered early in my career. The second is running around to the small villages until I find one where the residents are practicing satanism and swear revenge at a time and place I can actually reach. Whatever the case, this new mystery came along at just the right time. Things were starting to get repetitive.            
The party has a vision out of Revelations.
          I’ve compiled enough information now about combat and potions that I think I can finally focus on those things for my next entry.
             Time so far: 36 hours

Halo 4 Cheats
Alternate Ending
Complete the game on the Legendary difficulty to view a secret ending after the credits end. This ending will include Master Chief being unmasked.
Invisible sword
This requires a preordered game with the battle rifle with an Arctic skin.. Create a custom game and make your first weapon random. Make sure the battle rifle is set in a loadout. When you choose that loadout, any weapon that has a skin will be wearing it, however the sword just disappears (but is still usable).
Avatar Awards
Complete the indicated task to unlock the corresponding Avatar Award.
Knight Helmet : Unlock the ‘Knight in White Assassination’ achievement. Platinum Mark VI Helmet : Unlock the ‘Wake Up, John’ achievement. UNSC Infinity Hoodie : Unlock the ‘Not Some Recruit Anymore’ achievement.
‘117’ Emblem
Successfully complete Campaign mode on Legendary, single player, or Co-op modes to unlock this item in Infinity mode.
Audio Log
On Composer, in the room with the two Hunters, there is a data pad on one of the tables. Click on it and you begin to hear a message on how Halo Installation 03 was discovered by the science team.
Dancing Grunts & Jackals
On Composer, there is a secret area that will take you to the top of a cliff. Once you reach the top, look down and you will see some Grunts and Jackals dancing around.
Defeating Promethean Knights
When there are multiple Promethean Knights in an area they can be very troublesome (especially under the Legendary difficulty). To easily dispose of the knights, make sure you have a mid range weapon (pistol, DMR, battle rifle, carbine, light rifle, etc…) and the shotgun (or equivalent). Start by using your mid range weapon to head shot one of the knights from a distance, but use a low rate of fire to conserve ammo. Fire only one shot every couple of seconds. This will tick off the knight and ‘bait’ him into doing the teleporting-dash across the map to melee you, thus bringing him in close and separating him from the rest of the knights. When you see the knight begin to teleport-dash towards you, quickly run backwards and slightly to the side to dodge his melee attack, then switch to your shotgun and blast him at point blank range. Repeat this tactic as necessary.
Legendary Completion Unlockables
After completing the Campaign on Legendary, Single Player or Co-op, you will unlock a few features to be used in Infinity.

Now I’m just. Imagining like this “researcher” who’s the equivalent of those cryptozoology nuts/bigfoot hunters obsessed with tracking down rare cosmic monsters that probably don’t even exist. And they hire the guardians to escort them through a particularly dangerous planet biome where they’re adamantly convinced some mythic creature lives.
But then the guardians show up to get paid up front and the nerd stops dead in their tracks mid sentence the second they see Groot. They start feverishly looking from their notebook with their flora colossus illustrations to groot, blabbering about the flora colossus and barley forming a coherent sentence between hyperventilating and generally just freaking out about how theres a FLORA C O L OS S US, a creature they’ve probably spent their entire life searching the galaxy, nay, the universe for, standing right in front of them.
And then it cuts to the other guardians who are just standing there and looking at this person like “dude, are you ok?”. Because they’ve just become so used to Groot being on their team and being their friend that the idea of him being a monster, let alone this ultra rare cryptid weirdos like this would go completely feral for, barely even crossed any of their minds. They don’t even realise Groot’s the reason for what they initially think is them having a panic attack and/or dying for a solid minute or two.
I think there should be more gotg media that acknowledges the fact groot is basically a cryptid.

The reason? The Joker originally wanted to be the only one to recognize Batman to keep their whole “soulmates but for murder” thing he believes they have, and so made a habit of threatening/attacking anyone who he caught talking about Batman.
People therefore started pretending Batman didn’t exist for their own safety, but it eventually just became a local trend.
The police play along because Batman being a cryptid means they don’t have to take any reports of vigilantism too seriously and because it hurts the reputations of Gotham villains to be beaten by the local equivalent of Bigfoot.
DC comics really wants to thread the line between “Batman is an urban legend” and “Batman is the world-famous founder of the Justice League” so like what if they did both
Batman is an urban legend and nobody believes he really exists, except he also founded the Justice League and they all talk about him all the time. He never shows up to any of their events and he’s never caught on camera, so the news comes to the completely reasonable conclusion that the entire Justice League has an imaginary friend.
