I know it's not the best map, but it's literally my very first time opening the program (Wonderdraft) and it is a really good program!! I'll follow with a link for those interested

A photo of a map on another screen, on the upper left corner is a panel that says Cat's First Map, in the center is a large island or small continent with lakes and rivers and mountains
There are sea monsters in the bottom left corner a horse leviathan and a giant maroon fish monster in the top right. A compass rose is in the bottom right

The universe agreed with you, this came up on my Instagram feed

I hope everyone had a good weekend, try to relax if you can, take time to breathe and remember none of us can fix everything, focus on what's in your power Relaxation and Rejuvenation are important, drink water, eat some vegetables, close your eyes, breathe in 5, hold 3, release 7 🫂

My cat here to remind everyone how important stretching and sleeping are

Only cats are recommended to do both simultaneously

The irony of this for me being that DAtV was Mass Effect: Thedas

Former Dragon Age lead Mike Laidlaw also bristled at the argument that live service features would've helped The Veilguard. "I'm not a fancy CEO guy," Laidlaw said, "but if someone said to me, 'the key to this successful single-player IP's success is to make it purely a multiplayer game. No, not a spin-off: fundamentally change the DNA of what people loved about the core game' to me, I'd probably, like, quit that job or something."

Son and I made our very belated Thanksgiving pie today! It may not look as pretty as my pies normally do, but this is the first thing I've baked in two years(since broken brain) and I'm calling it a win We'll find out tomorrow if it tastes up to snuff

This is my Rook, Caterina, yeah I know, not creative. But she's also Crow, so my head cannon is that that's why she just goes by Rook, bc it's weird having the same name as the First Talon, especially when dating her grandson ;p Thank you for the chance of this!

Caterina with this great disgusted face happening, hair growing back from cutting it off after Weisshaupt

Caterina's end game armor, it's perfect as the colors are like a combo of those associated with the elves and the crows (which she has straddled those bonds the whole game) and the armor matches to Lucanis(it's also just so so cool)

Caterina with a soft smile and her original hair, have to use this do everytime it's available bc it came from me

Without downloading any new pictures, where are you mentally?

A skeleton on a woodenchair in a field with a reddish book over their face, the cover says, "CAN LIFE JUST CHILL OUT FOR A SECOND?"
Behind their chair is a gas lantern that says, "PLZ" and a brown box that says nothing. The sky is peach and the field is mostly green speckled with red or yellow flowers

Millefiori is an ancient Roman glass technique that involves creating patterned rods that you can then slice and arrange, the glass pieces can be very complex and colorful or very simple and understated(like the cups in the game)

Millefiori cup in mostly green and white, but shots of red and orange bring depth to the piece

An ancient Roman example of a millefiori cup mostly reddish, the glass itself has physical swirls texturing the surface as well

A modern Murano piece of millefiori very colorful with blue "pouring" down over, set on a wall inferring of water and across from a building

Two small modern elephants created with the millefiori glass technique, showing off the level of detail that can be splashed in the patterning
