this is such a tiny stupid petty dumb sticking point but why do people act like hot-water baths are ludicrously unrealistic in a DnD setting no matter what the setting or context actually is

one time in melliwyk's campaign we were staying in a luxury inn in a dwarven stronghold partially populated by warforged and built inside a volcano and each room had its own private bath with running water on tap and when I/ melliwyk was like 'hot water? 👀' the DM gave me a scathingly incredulous 'no??' like that was the world's dumbest question

what do you mean NO. they've figured out PRESSURIZED INDOOR PLUMBING but not GETTING THE WATER HOT????

[spaceratprodigy]

Incredibly frustrated by how condescendingly jaded my uncle can be but I’m being so brave about it <- not blowing him up with my mind even though I want to

[magnifiico]

don't look at me while i vomit out a very quick but integral part of magnifico's reasoning for taking wishes bc it needs to be "on paper"

the "danger" that he talks about with wishes stems from the fact that good intentions and our heart's desires can be corrupted and become something savage. (yes, the irony of this is that he himself is guilty of this exact result, but it's just more poetic confirmation of him striving so hard to prevent what he eventually becomes.) a person can have a pure, honest desire—a beautiful passion they would dedicate their lives to—but said person's methods of pursuing that yearning... can be questionable.

so that's where magnifico steps in, takes the wishes, determines what is "safe" and what isn't: he is in control and therefore he either grants a wish on his terms (thus, the person has no room to even attempt a dangerous path to fulfil their desire), or he keeps it so they forget it and therefore not only aren't burdened by never achieving that dream, but also have no means of even trying—means that could, in some ways, be harmful to themselves and others.

at the end of the day, he really doesn't think he's doing anything wrong. thus, we have him easily frustrated when anyone doubts him or throws any accusations at him; it really is a whole "this is the thanks I get?" for all the work and dedication he's put into building what he thinks is a utopia. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

happy valentine's day to everyone in what isn't even a situationship it's just a bit of an awkward *thing* and no one really knows what's going on

OH I NEVER SHOWED YOU GUYS LARS

Here he is :) In my really wild AU I’ve been writing for over a year now he was the First Captain of a sort of Beta version of the Octonauts, and knew both Professor Inkling and Min a bit before he joined the team !! After an Incident that killed nearly everyone onboard he went missing and later turned up on an island in the middle of nowhere as “Soup Man”. Lars is a LOT older than he looks, his many soup recipes have some fascinating effects!

hi its me again the same anon from yesterday. I’m literally obsessed with ur character Vincent, I’ve been checking ur blog to see if there’s any new content about him cuz its just so fun to watch him squirm around. like a little worm. just a funky little guy. of course it helps that i love depressed vampires, but what i love most is that he’s not broody like vampires usually are. its so different to see a vampire that isn’t elegant and cold, but just some sad wet rat man who cries openly and is so desperate for companionship that he’s like “you’re so nice to me,” to Clary, who literally hates him lmao

ANON. ANON I THINK I'M OBSESSED WITH YOU. THIS IS THE FUNNIEST ASK I'VE EVER RECEIVED. LIKE A LITTLE WORM. JUST A FUNKY LITTLE GUY. SAD WET RAT MAN. IT'S ALMOST MIDNIGHT AND I BURST OUT LAUGHING. I'M GOING TO THINK ABOUT THIS FOREVER.

I am so utterly fascinated by “Saki”, the 18-year-running mahjong manga in which you, the reader, become gradually, frog-boilingly aware (over the course of nearly two decades’ worth of mahjong tournaments) that none of these girls are wearing underwear and most of their boobs are slowly expanding.

I need you to understand that I have, like, an anthropological level fascination with this comic. From the perspective of someone who is also a comic artist and writer, two things delight me about it:

the fact that I understand completely how an artist gets from “the fans can have a little hint of skirted asscheek” to “the pussy is completely out on center page” over the course of 18 years; and

the way in which the pussy being out is treated by the characters and diegesis as being utterly unremarkable.

Okay. Point 1. The frog-boiling.

Let me put this in perspective for you. There was already a meme about how the characters in “Saki” don’t wear underwear when I was in middle school. I am thirty now. Okay? And it’s still going.

In the time since, this has stopped being a joke. It is now indisputable canon. This is not because anyone outright says it at any point. It’s because the underwear ran out of places to hide. I’m obsessed with this thought: somewhere in the over 20 volumes of “Saki”, there is a panel in which underwear was objectively deconfirmed. And it would be so hard to figure out where that panel actually is. Maybe the artist didn’t even realize it when she drew it! The frog? Boiling!!

And of course there is also the breast expansion. I don’t know how to put a spin on this. They are just expanding. Like, this happens a lot with artists: you define a character as being, in your mind, “the one with the big boobs”, and over the years you emphasize that trait further and further so that the signal doesn’t get lost in the noise. It’s just that normally—in like a wildly popular manga series about mahjong published by literally Square Enix, for example—normally there would be a point at which the boobs stopped getting bigger. Like, an editor would step in or something. Or you would get to the point where you cannot draw the character in the same panel as her mahjong tiles without her breasts spilling over the tiles, and you’d go, “Well, this is now untenable.”

That did not happen. There is no ceiling. The frog is soup.

Point 2. The complete and utter mundanity of all of this.

It’s like this, okay: there’s no shortage of trashy ecchi manga out there. There’s a million other comics doing wildly bawdier things with wildly more improbable bishoujos.

The vibe with “Saki” is different.

It’s hard to explain this, but it feels like the world of the comic is fundamentally uninterested in the fanservice happening on the page. I cannot describe it as “leering”, because I cannot conceive of a person in the story from whose point of view one would leer. I think the artist is probably into it—I can’t imagine anyone is making her do this—but “Saki” the comic has no opinion on the matter.

There are essentially no male characters in “Saki”. Like, there was one guy? Kind of? At the very beginning? But he is gone now. They put him back in the toybox. He does not exist. It appears to be some level of canonical that in the world of “Saki”, almost all humans are women. Those women are sometimes romantically into each other. According to comments the artist has made on Twitter (which I cannot source), they have lesbian baby technology, so it’s no problem. It’s so much not a problem that the story is about mahjong, instead of any of that.

So, like, the fiction here appears to be this: this is the, like, meta-narrative of the fanservice of “Saki”, right: it’s just normal that they don’t wear underwear and their boobs are arbitrarily big. It’s been normal. It was normal before the story of the manga began. It’s just how things are. Nobody bats an eye about it, and if they do, it’s in sort of a lesbian kind of way so like what’s the problem, we love lesbians here. This is literally normal for girls.

The fanservice simply diffuses into this all-encompassing aura of disembodied, ambient sluttiness. The framing of the panels demands you acknowledge it, and the story demands you already be over it, because it’s mahjong time now, and we’re playing mahjong.

Do you get??? why I’m so fascinated??? Are you not a little enraptured???

Anyway, I have no idea how to end this weird post. I guess the conclusion is that women stay winning????
