doip. / 10.24.22

LAST TIME ON DRAGON OF ICESPIRE PEAK: our heroes arrived at the city of neverwinter. after a hairy encounter weith the dragon cryovain, it was finally time to enter the city's wall. once inside, our heroes insisted with the interrogation of an unexpectedly familiar orc, who told them the story of a dragonslaying sword in a barrow. with the bell sold and items purchased, our heroes plan to return to the town of phandalin. but what has happened to the mountain's toe goldmine? is donjon safe among the wererats? FIND OUT… TODAY.

[leans away from mic] hey check out this sick jpeg

retcon: the splint armor has been upgraded with the mythril from alidaar's old armor! Nice

jorb fucks around in my character sheet while i dissociate about my character sheet looking different (it does not look different it's just in dark mode)

pat: this is the weirdest fuckin path we couldve taken jorb: it was efficient! pat: WAS IT?

pat: we just have the most eventful da-- UNEVENTFUL. UNEVENTFUL. couple days of our lives jorb: you get isekai'd into another dimension, save the day, defeat a god, and then you arrive safely in phandalin!

("i forgot how to spell phandalin-- WAIT IT'S RIGHT THERE ON THE MAP")

alidaar, traumatizer of animals

We Are Not Talking About Mpreg "the camp was attacked by mpreg." i hate it here.

tobias is an empty husk of a man

alidaar: I Abandoned My Boy (donjon) [slight echo] NO MY BOY / father heeeelp

nyx: time to eat some rats or something jorb: you're traveling on foot with no wagon, you were kinda getting used to it pat: TO EATING RATS?

jorb: like before it is dark inside the mine-- wait, is it dark? does it say? IT DOESN'T SAY,, nyx: why doesn't it say???

we are ragdolling tobias around

alidaar: hi yeah sorry it's been a hot minute, where's donjon rats: you should probably talk to the boss about that alidaar: NGNFNFFHGHGHGHGHHNNBNBN

alidaar telefrags himself inside a wall

nyx: [distraught] ARE WE GETTING CASK OF [30 seconds of concerned gibberish] pat: ..amontillado? nyx: it took me 30 seconds to say it wrong :(

we have been put in a corner and are now rolling initiative! gg ali thankfully little guy is incapable of being surprised so it's not as much of a trainwreck as it could be-- nvm tobias got bit and has to do a saving throw jorb: tobias has failed the constitution saving throw! interesting! pat: is this how you're going to kill tobias off? jorb: NOPE, THIS IS UNPLANNED nyx: what does it do?? jorb: what do you think it does nyx: ..turn him into a wererat? jorb: [chuckle] nyx: >:(

nyx: that was the worst surprise round ever, nobody got hurt-- jorb: tobias got bit!

nyx: i'm going to use thunderwave. can i- can i do that, am i a real boy, can i use thunderwave? jorb: you can, but it would hurt your allies..? nyx: [..] and tobias can go fuck himself

jorb: and there is an audible boom, which i believe can be heard up to.. pat: 300 feet. jorb: ..the entire mine. [..] jorb: stealth may no longer be a valid tactic! pat: oh no.

jorb: is wild shape a magical attack. [extended silence]

alidaar has a silvered axe! bonk! alidaar: [grinning like an asshole] don't worry guys, ive fuckin got this

alidaar: where do you think you're going? [BONK] "and alidaar leans around the corner and grins at the other were-rat." ALIDAAR IS NOT TRAPPED IN HERE WITH THE WERE-RATS, THE WERE-RATS ARE TRAPPED IN HERE WITH ALIDAAR

new mechanic just dropped! nyx got a crit fail so he rolled a d20 and got a 2, so "something goes wrong (minor)" and gets to decide what that means. so nameless misses, hits the wall, and gets bonked and loses -1 hp

"that's a hit" "nice! get twelved, idiot" oh that was the most pathetic use of fire rune so far. 3 damage from the cool fire shackles.

LITTLE GUY USING THORN WHIP TO YANK THE RAT INTO ALI'S AXE LMAO "it's cool so i'll allow it, but you do have to hit first" LMAO. NYX GOT IT BUT ALIDAAR ROLLED A 1 FOR THE AXE.. nyx: you currently have a rat in your arms, though, alidaar jorb: alidaar has this rat in a bridal carry this is a fucking clownshow.

nyx: um. nameless looks at tobias. jorb: jorb: it's tobias.

ALIDAAR HAS THE SCROLL OF REMOVE CURSE! he hands it over to tobias, but tobias is reluctant to use it in case he gets bit again or someone else gets bit. alidaar: if you're sure. i mean, i don't wanna curse ya to bein a furry if that's not what you want..

nyx, looking at tobias: [dreamily] wow, you've been so sentient lately.. (this is the most tobias has said in the past couple sessions)

jorb: acquire tobias. pat: tobias achieved!

jorb: okay what is the order on this door nyx: we're using tobias as a battering ram

pat: my urge to avoid collateral damage vs alidaar's urge to kill

pat: yeah we'll leave [the were-rats we stealthed past] be, if they chase us down we cut em down jorb: o-kay! :D pat: pat: i don't like it hwen you say that :(

noncanonically alidaar is picking tobias up and throwing him as far as he can

nyx: i feel like we should go to the right, i dont trust doors anymore jorb: the d&d experience, question mark.

taking a moment to tell the story of how i joined fix's stream chat in time to hear him and the other dominion ccs talk about my meta post about video editing

"i bowl [tobias] around the corner." [..] "alidaar is getting good at bowling him around corners"

jorb: and tobias sees.. a guy and a bunch of rats. crawling all over him like weevils. [..] nyx: maybe we should leave jorb: pacifist run nyx: it feels personal.

[pat and jorb singing screw the nether]

jorb: at the back of the tunnel, there is a corpse. and on.. closer inspection.. it is… ………some guy. you don't know who ths is. nyx: YOU CAN'T PLAY WITH MY FEELINGS LIKE THAT

pat: which way do we goooo.. i'm gonna flip a coin. jorb: okay! [sounds of a coin being flipped several times, cursing, something hitting pat's mic several time, a shriek of fear, "I AM GOING TO MOVE MY COMPUTER", more coin flipping] pat: WE'RE GOING THIS WAY.

(i was flipping my big novelty collectible coin to make decisions and uh. it is big and heavy and i am out of practice flipping and catching it)

oops we have angered the rats

THIS FUCKING RAT. BOTH ROLLS , WITH ADVANTAGE, WERE NAT20 jorb: do you want to know how mcuh damage you get? on this incredible crit from a rat? you take 5 damage.

alidaar jumps into nameless's space, uses breath weapon, then hops back out

alidaar smacking aside giant rats yelling WHERE IS DONJON

pat: alidaar is fearless right now [alidaar takes damage]

little guy takes a rat corpse to the face

alidaar does a rat's max hp in one hit jorb: um, that rat explodes!

BOTH DOORS LEAD TO THE SAME ROOM. THE COIN FLIP WAS MEANINGLESS

found some dwarves! they're holed up in here and despite being freed aren't gonna go anywhere til the were-rats are taken out. time for extermination duty

nameless beheads a rat for.. some …. reason……………..

pat: [moves alidaar] i'm teleporting. jorb: enderman noise pat: vwoop nyx: vwoop "alidaar throws an ender pearl through several walls. he's getting really good at bowling."

pat: i recognize that hat. LMAO. WE TOOK TOO LONG AND DONJON IS A WERE-RAT NOW. WHOOPS also the lead were-rat is not gonna budge bc they've settled in hard and the mines are way better than their old place, so. woop

nyx: i look at alidaar and nod. does alidaar nod back. pat: yes. nyx: i throw the rat head at [the were-rat leader].

zeleen: is that supposed to be me? is that supposed to scare me? not even a were-rat head? alidaar: [..] i mean, if you want me to get a were-rat head, i can go get one off the bodies of the guards who tried to kill us in a side closet, you piece of shit

pat: [alidaar voice] LETS GOOOO THE BLOODLUST IS KICKING IN [rolls a 5 for initiative] FUCK

pat: can you even fit through the corridor nyx, a 4-square dire wolf: no. pat: what are you going to do about it nyx: i lay down on my back and expose my belly so alidaar can pet me. pat: i pet nameless's belly. jorb: ..okay!

alidaar tries doing a cool stunt of running on nameless's back and jumping off to hit zeleen but. misses. whoops lmao

alidaar has forgotten he's not the tank. nyx: WHY DO YOU KEEP DRAWING ATTENTION TO YOURSELF pat, at 14 hp: IN MY DEFENSE, alidaar's flaw is that he cant shut the fuck up

jorb: nyx, youre up nyx, who has been rolling grapple and failing past 2 turns: IM GOING TO GRAPPLE THIS BITCH

alidaar and nameless shoving zeleen over so alidaar can get advantage on her and its just. an attempted cycle of "nameless shoves her, alidaar whacks her, she stands back up, she gets shoved," (unfortunately she caught on to our shenanigans of trying ot be highschool bullies)

alidaar tries to do the parkour over nameless stunt AGAIN. and misses AGAIN. i am trying so hard to be cool yall :(

nameless decides to set her on fire

ALIDAAR CHOPS HER HEAD OFF. FUCK YEAH.

pat: alidaar yanks his axe out of the wall, picks up the head, and holds it out to nameless. nyx: nameless wiggles a little and takes it.

there are two cursed people. we have one scroll of curse removal. hrm. :( :(

nameless and alidaar don't know what to do,, apparently the curse has mental effects and that's been weighing on donjon hard. he's been holding out, and there's a few more days before tobias turns.

tobias uses the scroll on donjon.

alidaar introduces donjon to the dwarves and is doing his best to still be a Cool Guy, struts back to the group, and immediately has a Problem with tobias. "we will talk about this later." meanwhile, nameless walks into the uh. what we've been calling the rat orgy room. the "crawling over him like weevils" room. and is angry-crying and threatens them with zeleen's head so the were-rats run off and we have to punt the non-were rats pat, sad: we've ruined the rat orgy

time for extermination duty! again! aka ransacking the rest of the mines to kill everything that moves

nyx: they wake up. i am sitting in the middle of them. there is a head in my lap. it is their leader. (intimidation did not work this time but it was objectively hilarious)

jorb: alidaar has no gods no kings pat: no gods no kings only axe

jorb: he is going to make a run for it, you two get attacks of opportunity nyx: im going to thorn whip him. pat: hit him on the ass nyx: i slap him on the ass and go "buenos dias" jorb: 1 damage.

jorb: HE HAS -15 HP. HOW DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS pat, restaining laughter: alidaar goes BUENOS DIAS and cuts him in half jorb: you cut him in half down the buttcrack.

we also fought a worm and i forgot to take notes for it in the moment. uhhh alidaar go bonk

everything's cleaned up! donjon's gonna get the mine up and running, and that he owes us one. also alidaar dug up some goodies to give to nameless to try and cure their depression (including some goggles of night!)

alidaar and tobias sit down to have A Talk. tobias is worried about losing himself alidaar: ..i don't want to have to kill you.

he's going to walk out into the woods and.. well, if he holds on, he'll come back. if he doesn't, he doesn't. alidaar: i'm holding you to that.

tobias gives his Important Book to nameless, as well as his magic items (except for his sending stone)

tobias: well, i guess that's it. --for now! alidaar: for now. you're not getting rid of us that easily ;)

there he goes. :(

MY REALLY OLD ART A LONG ASS POST

So this first piece I found in a folder on my computer called “Old art organize later” within a folder called “ REALLY OLD ART” I drew this in 2006 and the jpeg was titled:

“My most awesome dragon evur”

Also noted was my attempt at signing my name in Japanesef saldkfjsdlf because i was 11 and anime was THEE coolest thing to me.

Okay the rest is going under a read more because this is gonna be LONG

here are some gems from 2007

yes this is a kk slider gijinka faksdjfalsdjf

next up we have my attempt to make super paper mario characters into handsome anime men

it was a this point i was a young baby on deviant art longing to do “digital” art because thats what all the really cool artists did, i didnt have a tablet and the photoshop-esque thing i had was a pirated copy of JASC Paintshop 7 (or maybe it was 8), so what did I make with newly unlocked DIGITAL ART POWERS??

and this charming thing which was my intepretation of what the The Thing Behind the Wall in Johnny the Homicidal Maniac looked like:

but these were only the beginning of my long and arduous journey as an artist, 2009 came and I entered highschool 13 years old and with nothing but the power of deviant art and being an outcast with 2 friends on my side so here are some of my favorites from that era of Noo art:

^^^ this is in fact EXACTLY what i looked like at 13

its kind of funny bc looking back you can absolutely tell id been drawing dragons/wolves since i was like able to hold a pencil but didnt start drawing humanoid characters until i was 12 afjlakfjs

ANYWAYS CARRYING ON BC THERES PLENTY MORE!! For example my Invader Zim/Naruto OCs

yes one of those aliens was kisame

every day knowing that I get to claim ownership over this is truly exhilarating the girl with the pigtails was my OC that was definitely not just me. Her name was Delainbow, she was Sasuke’s daughter and she is truly the epitome of everything that was good about my childhood

WHAT A LEGEND

this is genuinely what I wanted to be when i was 13 god I love it

oh fuck i missed this one from 2008

god GOd i love these all so much I WAS SO FREE I JUST DREW WHATEVER AND DIDNT CARE

ok just gonna put a few more without comment but these are all 2009 again

Moving on to 2010-2012 era art

shout out to teenage me for still being not the worst at drawing animals

the freaking EDGE

so there was some point here where i started trying to stop drawing “anime” bc i was tired of ppl making fun of me so I figured if I didnt draw anime ppl would take me more seriously when in reality those ppl just sucked and so did my highschool art teacher

like... YUCK???? what the fuck was i was I even accomplishing here aksdjfaskjfkasldjf

my wolves still were still way cooler then the rest of my art lol

alright carrying onto late highschool early college, its summer of 2012 im on tumblr, im a homestuck, and ive gotten a laptop and tablet as a gift for getting into art school (yeah I drew like aformentioned above and still got into art school) sadly i dont have any scans of the stuff i drew for that portfolio, it was mostly still lifes i drew like a boot and a skull haha

okay so here are the gems i made upon finally getting a computer of my own, photoshop and bamboo wacom tablet,

here she is my first attempt to paint in photoshop....s fjaskdjfaskljfklasd

the rest of these are all from like my first fall/winter semester of college when i actually started getting a real art education and not just shitty no budget rural hometown highschool art class

So that picture of zachary which is honestly NOT thaaaaaat bad was one of the first things I ever posted to break 500 notes, i think a fewwww of my homestuck drawings had come close after like months of being on the site but like that zachary was one of the first times id genuinely been a little succesful with sharing my art online and im still very grateful to everyone who liked and reblogged it ^u^

After that well, i do have a lot more bad art but its not quite as funny as my pre-college stuff from that point on you mostly just see me struggling to improve anatomy and struggling to get through school (which ultimately took me 8 years to get through bc art school is terrible on your mental health and i had to do the last 4 years as a half time student)

but thats kind of a sad note to end on so heres just a few more gems i think you all should see if you’ve taken the time to read this haha

Thank you if you took the time to scroll through all of this i hope you had a laugh and that if you’re ever feeling down about your art to remember that we all start at the bottom and you can only go up from there no matter how long it takes you! Don’t give up and honestly just draw your truth <3

#long post #talk tag #art retrospective #this was really fun to make hahah

Mega Texas: Day 1

[ Dirk, Nepeta, Sollux, Tavros, Equius, Aradia, Signless, Summoner, Tyrena and Disciple all find themselves blipping suddenly onto the hot, scorching ground. Snapping back to reality and here comes gravity. They find themselves closely scattered in a Wal-Mart parking lot. The cars are here, aren’t they always, only some of these are broken into, which is another common thing. Beside them there is a judgemental moo from cows watching as these weirdos appeared from nowhere and decided to take a nap on the asphalt. Their hair still static-y from the trip, touching one of the abandoned carts seems like a bad idea man. Real bad. ]

DIRK: -DOOF. he lands on his ass.- ... What the fuck?

DIRK: -looks around. wal-mart... fucked up cars...-

DIRK: -a weird looking horse?-

DIRK: -could he be in the fabled land of his birth?-

NEPETA: =TAIL FRIZZES AND HISSES=

EQUIUS: -How dare you. He is in perfect condition. This Wal-Mart, however, is not. Equius stands with a groan.-

NEPETA: =THE CLAWS ARE OUT=

DIRK: -nah, that's a ridiculous conclusion to jump to...-

TYRENA: -drags herself up from the floor-

DIRK: -gets up, surveying the group and takes a head count.- Everyone okay?

TYRENA: -a little bit of a hISS as she does-

TYRENA: 0NLY SUPERF1C1ALLY >:)

TYRENA: -STALKS AND HOBBLES a few steps, bare feet on the hot ground.- TYRENA: BLEH

SIGNLESS: -Ahh, nothing like suddenly APPEARING SOMEWHERE ELSE. First thing to register when his feet hit the ground is that its very hot, but heat he can handle, what he cant handle is trying to guess what just happened.-

SIGNLESS: Would someone.... kindly fill me in on what has just happened. -Squints as he looks around at all the cars and cows.-

EQUIUS: -He's sweating abhorrently, and the heat is making him a little...sluggish-

TYRENA: 1 PR0M1SE NO K1NDNESS

TYRENA: 1T WAS A TRAP

SOLLUX: -just laying face down on the ground.-

ARADIA: -she had a soft landing...but sollux...he needed to fall flat on his face. it was important. so she just waits for him to get up.-

NEPETA: =Scampers around anxiously, scampers over Sollux. Sits on him and kneads=

NEPETA: =With claws=

NEPETA: =Hello=

SOLLUX: 0w.

SOLLUX: guess i'm still alive. c00l.

SOLLUX: -muffled into pavement-

DIRK: ... -hoists him-

DIRK: We're missing most of the crew.

DIRK: -pats himself down... his comm device is still on him. hmm.-

NEPETA: =Doofs off Sollux as he's lift and scampers again before climbing Equius=

SOLLUX: -is hoist- l00ks like nepeta is 0kay.

TYRENA: YES

TYRENA: THEY ARE M1SS1NG YOU, EQUALLY, 1'M SURE

SOLLUX: every0ne stand still and wait f0r me t0 st0p tasting c0ncrete s0 i can figure 0ut wh0's here.

DIRK: I'm gonna try to get ahold of everyone else. Hold up.

ARADIA: im here

SOLLUX: 0h hey AA.

EQUIUS: D --> Are you...okay, Nepeta? Aradia as well. Everyone else

NEPETA: :33 <sure this is grrrrrrrrreat blargh but im fine just furreaked out :'((

ARADIA: hi sollux

ARADIA: hi equius

ARADIA: theres nothing to be freaked out about :D

NEPETA: :33 < this is dumb >:'((

EQUIUS: D --> Stop being weirder than usual, Aradia. I concur with Nepeta

ARADIA: youre weirder than usual

ARADIA: oh wait

ARADIA: thats all the time

EQUIUS: D --> Now is not the time to wa% pitchy. Something severe has happened

ARADIA: its moderate

DIRK: -gets this random urge to kick hal's ass-

TYRENA: 1 APPRECIATE Y0UR UTTER 1ND1FFERENCE AND F1ND 1T REFRESH1NG

TYRENA: H0WEVER, 1T D0ES REVEAL A F0REKN0WLEDGE 0F TH1NGS

TYRENA: SP1LL, P1X1E, 1 KN0W H0W TH1S GAME W0RKS

TYRENA: 1'VE BEEN AT 1T F0R M0ST 0F MY L1FE

DIRK: -blurts out, holding up his comm- Hey. We're in Texas.

TYRENA: 0H

TYRENA: WHAT'S A TEXAS

ARADIA: -she smiles at tyrena- ive been through every way this could possibly go

ARADIA: i know what we have to do to get to our best end result

ARADIA: but in every circumstance that i choose to tell you what to do next

ARADIA: it all ends horrifically

TYRENA: HA

TYRENA: 1F Y0U 1NS1ST

TYRENA: 1 AM N0 HYP0CR1TE, AT LEAST

SOLLUX: welc0me t0 hell.

ARADIA: welcome to hell

SOLLUX: yeah.

DIRK: -looks a little distressed-

DIRK: ... Alright, everybody.

DIRK: I've gathered that the crew's been split up into groups, presumably all around the US. We're going to try to meet up in Minnesota.

DIRK: The kids are still on the ship, but Porrim is looking after them. Think she's got the bots helping her too.

TYRENA: HM

TYRENA: 1 SUPP0SE 1T 1S A PLAN, 1F N0TH1NG ELSE

DIRK: Sollux, come with me. We're gonna try to hot wire some of these cars. -drags him, but also because he wants to talk to him-

TEREZI: =Terezi found herself standing in a strange landscape. Her forest where she'd lived for sweeps had burned to the ground, but among the ash falling from the sky, there was snow. Pine trees remained untouched, their needles tipped with white and grey. It was familiar and at the same time unfamiliar, and Terezi didn't know what to make of it.=

[ As Terezi takes in her surroundings, a message lights up the screen of her communicator... so she can presume she's had it with her the whole time. The forest is quiet, otherwise. ]
