#so I'll have to get it online I guess

[sophisticatedheart]

omg I've been wanting to get storm bringer in japanese for a while but I'd have to order it online and I don't want to pay the shipping bc im sure it'll be a lot for just a $12 book but I just realized I can get love stage too bc you have to have an order of $50 to get free shipping... and I don't have any other place around here to get it 😭😭

[benjaminthecoathanger]

okay, because i saw a poll earlier and i thought the choices weren't clear enough and also the answers i saw to it annoyed me and also i'm curious:

NOTES:

I am including having watched gameplay of a game and not having played it as having watched the source material

In this context if you are writing fic/making art and you are not being commissioned to do so. This is purely for funsies

You getting into something because you saw a post/gifset/video about it and then watched the source material does not count. That's just how you get into new things.

Goncharov does not count because it's not real. I'll break kayfabe here I don't care.

Hi tumblr, I'm back!

Spent the past month glaring at people in bg3 and it was glorious

[coquelicoq]

wild to me how the english translation of natsume is just. largely out of print i guess?? like half of the volumes you can't get ANYWHERE for love nor money, not even on amazon (unhallowed be its name)! i've found like five sites that sell print volumes and they've all got the same selection (vols 1, 2, 17, 19, 27-29, sometimes 24-26) and if you want any others you are SOL. though what's interesting is i'm pretty sure last time i looked it up a few months ago, you couldn't get volume 17 anywhere either. did they do a print run just of that volume?? total mystery.

G W E N D Y L L - OC

[ Category: The Promised Land ]

" Queen of the Silver City "

Notice: I have loads of OCs but there are also sub categories.. Like OCs with "Important roles" and "side OCs" which are not entirely my "Main OCs" but still very much matter to the worlds I've created with them... This is //cough// In association with the Promised Land and the Frostclaw.

| AKA " Madame Gwendyll ", Gwendyll rules another kingdom/ highly populated settlement, which just like Aurelius position as a king for the Golden Palace, Gwnedyll is the Queen of the Silver City; Which is made up mostly of, you guessed it, silver structures even down to the people.... Who are actually beings of organic silver but you get it-

The Silver beings are an interesting race, because unlike the Golden people where their skin is just of golden aesthetic down to their make-up and eye colour, the Silver beings are in fact born of entirely organic and silvery metallic "structures"; They look both fleshy and also look like their made of metal at the same time, to which is still unknown even to their own people if they were either just built by their very late ancestors, or if they somehow adapted to naturally fuse with metal armour of like years of mutations of some kind.. But either way, yes they indeed can open up their faces to reveal tissue and wiring/coding (sort of like an animatronic, except they don't open their faces willingly..) the Silver city are in fact neutral to most other kingdoms and settlements, to the Golden Palace is it mainly kept professional, however with the rise of the Deceit making their rounds harassing and murdering many with their evil deeds, Gwendyll and her people stray far away from that conflict; As the last time they aided in protecting the Golden Palace, it's King and people, they were nearly wiped out to extinction if not for Aurelius's backup (from the Vermin) if they hadn't intervened and put a stop to Kira's attack on the Promised Land.... Either way, the Silver beings tend to suppress their human emotions somehow as to not get personally involved with conflict and other issues outside of their Kingdom walls

Extra Info

The eyes of the Silver beings are in fact organic like our eyes; However unlike our eyes, the Silver beings can actually replace their eyes sort of like a light bulb.. Just a little more technical. And their site tends to stay consistent with every potential replacement

Their blood is black, sort of like tar or oil; They tend to reuse lost blood into fuelling other things, like vehicles, machinations and so on

It may look like they are wearing armour, mainly can be seen on their "headpieces"; but it is actually the structures of their actual head. Gwendyll for example along with many others of her kind, appear to "wear" helmets like knights, but alas it's not

Briefly were allies with the Deceit along with the Demon Children of the Sun tribe before things went south and Gwendyll, although risking her and her people's lives with such a brave move, betrayed Kira and his plan

Although it may seem like Gwendyll and her people are fighting for their lives and surviving in complete secret ever since betraying Kira and his army, believe it or not but although secluded that only a few allies know of their whereabouts (The Golden Palace included), they are in fact living a life of luxury since going pretty much solo

The Silver beings and their body temperature never changes no matter the climate, they will always remain a pleasant "mild" body heat which for others traversing through hard environments along with them, could very much help the more vulnerable travel more safely as long as they are in very close proximity to the Silver being. The ladies of Silver are very popular with the Inferno Elven males for this reason alone, plus their offspring tend to become the most "unstoppable" of outcomes to some

Although Gwendyll may have "called it off" when it came to fighting back against Kira and his lifelong plan of claiming everything as his own with his own power, she isn't much of a saint either herself.. during her and her people's time working under Kira they had done their fair share of killings and other deeds, one of of them being nearly successful with the plan of kidnapping King Aurelius's son to use as a form of "power source" for Kira's immortality and eternal ruling before things went south; So it was no doubt that Aurelius himself was rightfully of Gwendyll when she all of a sudden one day seemingly shifted in behaviour and pleaded for his aid when the "bigger evil arises" one day.. Which is why Aurelius himself only keeps their relationship with the Silver beings more professional, as he feels any personal or secretive info gets revealed or such to them, that Gwendyll would relay it back to her "leader". Whether his concerns are true or not is another question as it seems nothing has "happened" just yet

I've only really got a few refs in my drafts that has been done in the span of a few weeks/one month or two but I am very much taking my time when it comes to adding the vital info and so on about all of my OCs.. So don't really expect me to be so active or anything online.. Especially now that me and my family have a cat to take care of now along with still dealing with other busy things offline.. I'mean by the time I probably even post this (and have hopefully drawn more OCs refs and stuff by then) it'll probably be a good while before I'm able to happily post again, especially since the whole "monthly art spams" seems to be a thing that's out the window now... But oh well I'll just do what I can!..

Anyways still don't know what the fuck I'm even doing here anymore, my writing has only gotten worse when it comes to OC descriptions and I'm not getting better at anything anyways so dchvk

Gwendyll didn't exactly change much herself either tbh, but this is pretty much my start off design I have for her before actually giving her a proper ref and such.. Most of the leaders of the Promised Land besides Takeshi and heck even Kira didn't really have all that much going on for them before I decided to keep on with fleshing out this land between dimensions and stuff so I'm really am going on with this fully blind... Even I don't exactly know what I'm doing or where I'm going with all this stuff.. And quite frankly I don't really care anymore, I'm doing what I can and just being in even more pain than I already have been on the daily like usualy...

... But yeah, Gwnedyll's new design is what I'll be going with since it's a lore more simpler and easier for me to work with without feeling too overly overwhelmed with character and world building..

And I believe that's all I have for this post til I eventually get on with other stuff and refs..... I'm even falling a sleep trying to just tyype some fcking shit what the hell......

Tjjthmtkthm Shits been in my drafts for fcking months and there was only two posts I've finished rjrgndjn,,,,,,, so I'll just post these in the meantime cuz I have NOT been drawing! Lmao ffhmfm..............

Oh well Idfc enough to bring regular activity to this shitehole :333

i wonder if there's the potential for a solution to the doxxing fucking over marginalized people specifically thing and/or the some people only being able/knowing where to engage with community online thing if we we were able to like. weaponize the relative lack of actual anonymity in the opposite direction.

like for one thing, instead of doxxing just resulting in problems from others in person, using that information to actively support the person instead, and for another for the other potentially more targeted use of the internet to find people to engage with in person (although that one you'd have to be even more careful about in case it worked in the opposite direction. I'm just thinking it would be nice to have something more structured/widespread than happening to find out your internet friends are in your local area, that could potentially be used to circumvent people not meeting in third spaces/other issues people have initially finding local community in person.)

It would be nice if instead of exclusively finding offline solutions/telling people how to be more careful we could also use what's often part of the problem to our advantage when it does happen. Like, having a way to address it that isn't only preventative.

been having some mediocre naps lately :/ but i just woke up from one where i dreamt i was watching an amv of volo pokemon set to everybody's fool by evanescence and now i don't know what to do with myself

[tardis--dreams]

Me panicking because i have 9 missed calls and 5 emails talking about my absence and how "a colleague could take over for me" vs. Me knowing it's really not that important no matter how pushy a client is and that on top of it I'm underpaid and have way to much overtime so i shouldn't even care

The Me who bought tickets to see TMBG in february 2023 and the Me who's going to actually go to the show next month are two completely different people

[izzy-b-hands]

Got all excited last night bc i saw a post from a mod on the gta o subreddit abt the Halloween update being set to drop today around 5 AM (backed up by at least two gaming websites that had stories also stating the same start time and date)

Went in today ready for Halloween and uh. Nothing lol

Checked the actual Rockstar website and there's no mention of it, just that RDR o is getting a Halloween update this week

If i was a betting man I'd start a pool on how late in the month it'll be by the time the gta Halloween drops lmao

(also a pool on how likely it is the mod is lying; as they continue to insist they have access to all the usual Halloween stuff in GTA o today and that everyone who doesn't must not know how to restart their game to see if that changes anything, or maybe they didn't click play on GTA but a different game in their library? Which is insulting af, especially to the guy with the flare that shows he's at a level so high in the game that i frankly didn't know existed, who called them out and asked if maybe they didn't get confused and thought gta and rdr were both getting the update at the same time. Person was nice abt it, just asked plainly and said it was ok if that was the case, but that it would be helpful for others to know. poor dude immediately got piled on by the mod for it but like. he's right lmao. if that's the case it's fine! mistakes happen! but stop insisting you have access to something seemingly no one else trying to play online does!)

The debut album by a band I've been listening to a lot lately just vanished off spotify, and so did their second album EXCEPT for the first track. I would have assumed it was just them starting to take their music off the platform and they just didn't make an announcement or anything (maybe those albums were demonetized with the latest bullshit spotify is pulling) but why is just one track on the second album still up?

[danielnelsen]

well i guess i can play bg3 now, assuming it finishes downloading sometime in the next 2 months

[that-foul-legacy-lover]

oh my god what happened?? are you alright? do you need any help?

alright i will preface this by saying that physically, i am COMPLETELY FINE. please don't worry about me too much, i promise i'm physically okay and it's not that bad

the rest is under the cut not for length but in case people want to skip past it (warning for people being unpleasant)

so the short story is that someone i thought was an online friend suddenly sent me a pretty awful DM before blocking me. they said a lot of genuinely hurtful things which wasn't really good for my mental state since they preyed on a bunch of my insecurities, and i thought that i could trust this person. i'm doing better now thanks to my irl friends, but recovery is a process as usual. i'm not sure if you can really help apart from being emotional support, but your concern is appreciated nonetheless <3
