„Es ist auch interessant beim Fußball, es ist immer noch ein Spiel. Stehste da einmal richtig, machst das Tor. Das sind genau diese Momente. Das Glück muss auf deiner Seite sein, da muss einfach so viel zusammenlaufen. [...] Es gibt auch Momente, wo ich sag, ‚Okay, wär vielleicht zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt besser gewesen.' Wenn ich ein bisschen älter gewesen wär, noch ein bisschen mehr Erfahrung. Aber im Nachgang– im Finale zu sein und zu spielen, ich mein, was gibt's Besseres für einen Fußballer?“

Ok I know the sexy polls aren't trending anymore but I haven't been able to stop thinking about them

I've been gathering all the elligible creatures for next tournament, double checking my work. And I hit the retriever.

AND THIS FUCKING THING.

This thing stopped me for hours. Because they keep changing what it IS. Because look at it, cool spider robot, right? oh, and it knows languages, that means it's either a mindless automaton (fine because it's like a toy) or it's an intelligent creature, right? Wrong? Turns out it's NEAR mindless. Red flag, especially given it has 3 int. Usually sentient creatures don't go below 5, so it's likely either a smart automaton like your phone or animal, right? Well turns out it's made from an imprisoned bebelith that had most of its intelligence removed. MOST? Is it animal level or not, because that's down to the usual animal range but it apparently still understands language. Does it even matter, does being made from an imprisoned spirit that follows orders mean it couldn't consent anyways? I made an argument for that with golems, and we know that spirits imprisoned spirits cannot fight even if they want to as long as the vessel's durable metal. But then you look at the MPMM, this new book we're going into. and hey look, they removed the "imprisoned bebelith" part that's been in every description for decades. But it is gone because it's not true anymore, or is it gone because the MPMM shortened nearly every description? Some PLAYER RACES got reduced to 3 sentences, so is that no longer canon, or is it just not included in this summarized version of it because they assume you know from Tome of Foes?

ultimately, sorry, not including it in next tournament. 14 foot spider droid with paralysis and restraint powers would've done numbers. But I am really unsure if this is sentient and if it could consent even if it was (since the ritual seems to override its free will). And I can't in good conscious include an option unless I'm confident it can consent. I'll take "I can't think of a scenario in which it would want to, but it technically could." but not "incapable of consent."

⭐J will be open for asks for the duration of the tournament!! And Galacta is there too, I guess

⭐J seems relatively approachable, but is quick to butt heads with anyone who disapproves of her!

⭐J is an adult in her early 30s, and thus is potentially romanceable, if you're brave (or stupid) enough!

⭐ She's been around a while, and knows alot! Feel free to ask her about anything. Who knows if shell give you a straightforward answer though!

OLD_FOLKS HOME chapter 26 is out on ao3!

with this chapter the retirement home's inscryption tournament arc concludes, in a final epic clash between poe and the trader! for his last duel poe brings a twist in the form of a vertical slice of his much-anticipated digital campaign, to the dismissive skepticism of leshy...but perhaps this novel approach will win over scrybes and challengers alike in more ways than one, and with more ease than a staunch adversary to technology is willing to believe...

i really enjoyed writing this one, i hope you guys enjoy it! ^^

+ Several Unrecognisably Charred Lumps Of Carbon!

How did it come to this?! It seems the power of lesbianism and whatever is going on with Galacta Knight wasn't enough to save the ribs. May the sausages fare better.

(Good news everyone! I did not throw my tablet out the window trying to draw his wings! But it was close. Praise Ibispaint for having ready-made backgrounds, because I was not drawing one after all that. This was supposed to be a joke drawing, but it somehow took me several days. Because of the wings, but also because of me having several epiphanies I had to process. I miiiiight have made my interpretation of Galacta Knight more similar to me than I realised. As one does.)

@graycoin @quanblovk @morp I'm blaming your comments on the weatherproof outfit post for this! I hope y'all like it, it cost me blood, tears, several ribs and a part of my sanity.

Now, where is that money, Quan?? Gib 🫴 /jk

Bonus!

Just for fun (I couldn't choose which background to go with.)

[best-curse-word-tournament]

Welcome to the Best Curse Word Tournament!

Do you want to discover what the best curse word is? Do you want to pit your favorite curse words against each other?! If the answer is yes, welcome!!

Please submit your curse words here. Any and all words of crass meanings, origins, and uses are welcome. No curse words have a guaranteed place in the tourney until you submit it. Censored curse words such as "frick" and "sugar" and "#@$?!" are welcome. Fandom curse words such as "kark" are welcome. While this tournament will be run in English, curse words from any language are welcome. I will include a definition/meaning and IPA (if available) of every word.

I will not include slurs in this tournament.

I am planning on closing the form in two weeks or so, but I may close it earlier or later depending on the number of submissions. I do not know how many submissions I will accept.

May the best curse word win!!!

(@ultimate-word-tournament I heard there was some interest?)
