#tumblr ate the ask

Day 150- fjord

[hurglewurm]

ok tumblr ate the ask as i was trying to respond to it so i will just make post

to the person who messaged me (and anyone else): i wanted to share the original draft (loose word: i drew this with no sketch or planning in abt 10 minutes flat) of this comic

sometimes the happy ending you write down feels like a lie, but you write it anyway, because you think to yourself. why am i making this? who will see this? does this hurt? can it hurt less? what would i want it to feel like instead? nd eventually the "lying" the reciting the pretending the practicing of positive ideas. of kinder thoughts. it becomes habit, it becomes true

and sometimes you leave bits of that in the final piece, but sometimes you let it build up the foundation, you bury it in the process, you acknowledge it. and then you put it away. you say something else, instead. you write a happy ending

anyway ! glad you liked my doodle comic, i hope it can continue to be a kind thing for you.

⛔ Do you have a fic you started, but scrapped?

Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask

A few actually. Never published them, but I have them written somewhere. I also technically have done one shots, promised a sequel, then disappeared into the night. That was like 10 years ago though on Deviant Art... I think.

Hot damn. Great question, I'd love to tell you.

High Fantasy

Look, this rainfrog is called Breviceps bagginsi, so I don't have a lot of choice, now do I?

Also, I would go with them to the end. Into the very fires of Mordor.

Low Fantasy

Phyllomedusine hylids have a certain weird clown marionette vibe to them. Just look at these Pithecopus rohdei.

Lovecraftian

The male Rhinoderma darwinii raises his tadpoles in his vocal sac.

Sci-Fi

Gephyromantis pseudoasper sometimes wear handsome stripes—very Space Age™

But more importantly, their calls evoke a battle with laser-blasters.

I filmed this calling male in 2017 at an obscene hour of the morning.

Horror

Trichobatrachus robustus, aka the Hairy Frog, has flanks and thighs covered in weird, hair-like outgrowths that increase oxygen exchange over its skin, and BREAKS ITS FINGERS TO STAB YOU WITH CLAWS MADE OF BONE

[src]

Romance

Breviceps males physically glue themselves to the back-ends of females, and if that's not romance, I don't know what is.

[src]

Comedy

Nyctimantis arapapa are probably amongst the funniest-looking frogs out there.

[src]

Adult

The 'poly' in Polypedates may be a double entendre

[src]

Crime and Mystery

Calyptocephalella gayi is a Galaxy Brain frog.

[src]

Speculative

Myobatrachus gouldii is basically what would happen if you decided to try to build a turtle, but you only had frog pieces in the kit.

Non-Durge Strike would've been a far worse person than he is as Durge, fun fact

Non-Bhaalspawn Strike is a child of a drow and a cambien who was found by his adoptive mothers back in their pirate days, before they settled down. He's a magical prodigy that grows up in a loving home that actively encourages him in pursuing the study of magic. He's an extremely talented sorcerer and he knows it, and without Bhaal who would keep his ego in check by being an abusive father, Strike becomes just kind of the worst?

No Bhaal means that doing good (non-murder) things isn't taboo or a novelty anymore, so they're boring now. He has no god to serve so there is noone he would feel inferior to, which means that all his ambition now goes unchecked and he ends up wanting to be a god himself. He's a sociopath in any au, here that just means less murder and more selfishness. He's still charming and manipulative but now lacks the background of a sheltered, abused child, so boy does it get worse.

In game time: There is no memory loss and no physical trauma, meaning that Strike doesn't have to rely on his companions for survival and support for his crippling mental health; he's sane, perfectly self aware and in perfect control of himself. Because of that he just manipulates mansplains manwhores his way to be in charge of the team and never establishes a strong bond with anyone there. Him and Gale know eachother from when they were studying in Waterdeep and Strike always looked down on Gale for needing to rely on Mystra for his spells. He would very much encourage Gale to explode himself and in the end succeed.

He gets Astarion to ascend. Why? Cause he wants to see how the ritual works, nothing else. Demonic magic would be really interesting to him. He'd then break up with Astarion and laugh in his face at the idea of becoming bonded to him for life - they leave off on bitter terms. They do save Aylin but only because Strike wants to see a demigod in action; later he helps her kill Lorroakan but also steals the wand that could seal Aylin forever, just in case if he ever needs a convenient immortality on hand.

When he meets Gortash they vibe so hard with eachother that Karlach punches Strike in the face for being such an awful dick about it, but he manipulates his way out of the situation. He does like Gortash but at the same time pities him because he thinks it's pathetic to serve a god like that.

In the end, he gets the crown of Karsus for himself and manages to override it back into its true purpose, and the gang would have to fight him to try and stop him. Upon their failure, he'd become the next Karsus.

So yeah, all in all? Bhaal surprisingly helps him be a way better person lmao

DAY 3 HELLO??? IT WAS SO GOOD IM LEVITATING ‼️‼️

In all seriousness, you did such a good job, I'm so blown away with how incredible it was! The way Mychael's character has been depicted as we go through the days is only making me like him more, he clearly has history and darker undertones that we were really able to take a peek at and the slow burn of it all only makes me excited to continue following future updates. Thank you for making this game and sharing your talent with us! 🩷

❤️❤️❤️!!

ISSUE 1070: the scary edition

Shoot sorry, tumblr ate the original Ask of "why is Peg so mean to Scrubs?" Here's my answer -

It's not very common, but sometimes a mare is just mean. I've seen mean mares start as dominant mares that are pushed and shoved into aggression by everything from bad training to a bad herd dynamic. Often times there's a negative human element involved.

You know………like Scrubs. It's a bad feedback loop of aggression with them. He's harsh because she's harsh and on and on.

Mean mares take a lot of time, skill, and patient handling to soften, so unless she comes across a better handler that can deal with her horrific attitude and/or he finds a pegasus that tolerates his heavy hand without fighting back, they'll probably just stay in their current """"equalibrium""""".
