My theory is that if by some magical bullshit they turn Tabby into a person down the road, Aabria is already prepared to pull out a chair and bring Carlos Luna to the table as a full player character.

I really like the music for this episode. It's really nice. Honestly, dropout never miss when it comes to music. The people in charge of that are doing an excellent job.

aabria speaking for all of us despite being the sole arbiter of what happened in ep 3 😭

I need everyone to know that if Carlos Luna is ever a player at Aabria's table on Dimension 20 HE IS A PLANT. He is a GM plant and he is on Aabria's side to betray people I stg watch out if he's sat in the dome.

The way I scream with joy whenever Carlos voices an NPC for Aabria. If he's sat in the dome??? He is 1000% Up To Something for the GM mark my words

My dad has bees. Today, I went to his house and he showed me all the honey he had gotten from the hives. He took the lid off a 5-gallon bucket full of honey and on top of the honey there were 3 little bees, struggling. They were covered in sticky honey and drowning. I asked him if we could help them and he said he was sure they wouldn't survive. Casualties of honey collection I suppose.

I asked him again if we could at least get them out and kill them quickly, after all he was the one who taught me to put a suffering animal (or bug) out of its misery. He finally conceded and scooped the bees out of the bucket. He put them in an empty Chobani yogurt container and put the plastic container outside.

Because he had disrupted the hive with the earlier honey collection, there were bees flying all over outside.

We put the 3 little bees in the container on a bench and left them to their fate. My dad called me out a little while later to show me what was happening. These three little bees were surrounded by all their sisters (all of the bees are females) and they were cleaning the sticky nearly dead bees, helping them to get all of the honey off of their bodies. We came back a short time later and there was only one little bee left in the container. She was still being tended to by her sisters.

When it was time for me to leave, we checked one last time and all three of the bees had been cleaned off enough to fly away and the container was empty.

Those three little bees lived because they were surrounded by family and friends who would not give up on them, family and friends who refused to let them drown in their own stickiness and resolved to help until the last little bee could be set free.

Bee Sisters. Bee Peers. Bee Teammates.

We could all learn a thing or two from these bees.

Bee kind always.

FINALLY FINISHED THIS!! my own interpretation and additions to Sebastian's room in sdv ! Tried to keep anything in the image from the year 2010 or predated. i think theres a few give and takes but i really like the "older brother" early 2000s grunge aesthetic on another level and i thought who better fits it than him. I put a lot of references to stuff i personally like as well ^_^

have you ever enjoyed a fic of mine, like plant a garden in the yard, then or queen of candia, and thought “wow, i’d make a request but i Wish i could guarantee she takes it and also that it’s at least a minimum of [insert wordcount here]?”

i’m part of d20 writers for palestine (and there are also artists and editors!)! for PWYW of at least $5 or pricing for a specific minimum fic length, you can make a custom request :) it doesn’t have to be d20 or even fanfiction; if you want me to write your OCs, i’m happy to!

you can find the carrd for d20 artists for palestine here for more information, or jump directly to the spreadsheet to see current availability and pricing here.

Anybody got reccomendations for solo RPGs about dueling, showdowns, boss battles, that kinda thing?

I have a mountain of two-player RPGs about showdowns and duels (and can adapt one as needed), but I can't find a good solo game that fits.

Self-promo welcome!

Loving the new counterpoint that not only is posting activism, not posting is complicity. Why doesn't everyone with any fame or internet presence immediately release a lengthy but perfectly-worded statement telling us where they stand on every issue? Is it because they're evil??? It must be because they're evil

And then the usual answer is "they don't post online very much". Which is all very suspicious, don't they know everything of importance is done by posts on social media now

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.
