Prismatic Ooze

Set named with the help of @silverstellatus !! I've remade this set now, but this was my first attempt at making a petri-styled dice set! I've only seen one sped-up video of a person making dice in this style before, so I didn't quite have a grasp of how to avoid cure inhibition with the alcohol ink—I get it now, the trick is to add more resin on top of the alcohol drops, it seems. But this has cured all the way, the top just stayed rubbery a bit longer.

[Dice description: A 7-piece dice set featuring two d20s; one d20 is smaller than the other. The larger d20's 20 face is replaced with a simplified, geometric open eye. Its 1 face is replaced with a closed eye in the same style. The d6's 6 face shares the same open-eye design. There is no d4. The set is inked in slightly metallic neon green, with the highest numbers on each die painted in lilac, and the lowest in white. The top of the dice is a deep, solid purple, with purple tendrils/ink drops pouring down from it in a "petri"-style pour. The clear layer this is visible in leaks into a vivid green with a blue sheen. | End description.]

I started lineart two times, hated it and then said fuck it and cleaned the sketch. As Nature intended.

The new official M9 animatic made me so happy!!

a few months ago you talked about playing mouthwashing and I was curious if you had any head-cannons for the characters if they got sent to that universe

Made this set as a back-up of my masters, hence the fact that it's uninked. They are soooo gorgeous, though, I definitely want to remake them.

Its 1 face is replaced with a closed eye in the same style. The d6's 6 face shares the same open-eye design. The set is uninked. The dice have an upper layer dirty pour of dark silver and black that drips into a lower clear layer. The clear layer includes silver leaf and very fine glitter. | End description.]

One of me is cute, but two, though?

listen. i am sorry to everyone having fun with using this term casually but i cannot hold my silence any longer. "jester's privilege" is not "heeehe i'm funee so i get away with things :3c". it's referring to the special niche role the jester held within royal society and, more specifically, their relationship to the king. jesters were not just like, the king's personal stand up comedian (some were, of course, peep my dude Roland the Farter). they also would often advise their king, be used as a diplomatic tool, sometimes even create and foster longstanding emotional relationships with them. so when you use the term "jester's privilege" you need to stop thinking of it as just "i use humor to get out of Situations". it's more like "the most powerful man in the land will forgive my transgressions because of our years' long Situationship"

The soul of Wicked is randomly inventing extremely elaborate relationships between characters who barely interact at all in canon. Also Fiyero is here.

love that for the current neil, nathaniel wesninski hasn't entirely ceased to exist. he's simply been demoted to one of those tiny cartoony hovering devils whispering weird shit in his ear at times.

occasionally neil listens to him and does stuff like ordering hits on rapists and the people who know neil can tell that that was just him nathanieling a moment to get things done

wait wait wait guys have you ever thought about how the Mighty Nein are everything they shouldn’t be upon first glance

no no guys guys listen to me they’re all the antithesis of what they’re meant to be and that’s why they’re such amazing and heartfelt characters

like, Caleb is a wizard who’s afraid of his own fire magic. his own power causes him to falter in battle. his strongest spells are his most dangerous to himself. wizards are supposed to be prideful of their magic, but Caleb’s is the reason he hates himself

Beau is a monk who never wanted to be. her job is one that people normally associate with being calm and collected and Beau was a wild rebellious kid who got dragged into this line of work against her will. she never wanted to be this!! but now she is and she’s gotta deal with it!!

Fjord is a warlock who never wanted power from his pact, which is why you’d think a warlock would make their pact at all. but no. Fjord made his pact because he wanted to live, not because he wanted power. he was a scared orphan who hated his tusks, not a buff, muscled, angry half-orc like people assumed

Nott is NOT, that’s the whole crux of her narrative! she wasn’t pretty, like a halfling girl was supposed to be. she wasn’t a goblin, she was just transformed into one. and not only that, but despite being a three-foot-tall alcoholic kleptomaniac, she’s the mom of the group!

Jester is a Cleric whose god isn’t actually a god and who would much rather bash bad guys over the head with her lollipop than have to stop and heal her friends!! she’s a bubbly, optimistic ray-of-sunshine, but you know when she says she’s gonna change the world with friendship she means it as a threat

Mollymauk is an amnesiac, but he doesn’t want to remember who he was. if you ask him, that wasn’t him! he might be a flirtatious hedonistic carnie, but he’s also single-mindedly devoted to making the world a better and more loved place than it was when he found it. he’s a liar, but he means well. he’s an arrogant fool, yes, but he’s right! he did it! he left it better!

Caduceus seems like he’d be creepy and grim from growing up in a graveyard, but he’s actually the most chill out of the entire Nein by far. he’s calm, he’s sweet, and he’s comforting, more than anything else. you’d think he’d be amazed by seeing the outside world for the first time, but he spends the whole time knowing that one day he’ll return home, that he wasn’t supposed to be the one to leave

Yasha is a barbarian with skeletal wings and a dramatic, monochromatic look, but she’s a complete sweetheart. she’s Molly’s best friend, she was a carnival bouncer, she’s a lesbian disaster who collects pressed flowers in a book out of love for the wife she lost. those black wings were actually hiding soft white feathers

Essek was born straight into the den of politics, he was a spymaster, he literally started a war for his own gain, and yet. he’s sounds irredeemable on paper, but. he’s not!! sure, the Nein kind of have to drag his alignment kicking and screaming into neutral, but they manage it. Essek learns and grows and he overcomes his nature. he becomes good, against all odds

guys guys guys don’t you see it!! look at them!!they’re such compelling characters!! they’re everything they’re not supposed to be!! dude y’all how didn’t I realize this earlier!! they subvert their narratives in the most interesting ways ever and I justhshsbhshshsjnsmshsnhsfn!!
