Remember Kids, there's an MSQ relevant cutscene during Stone Vigil too, and if you kill the boss while a sprout is listening to Lahabrea babble you are, in fact, a complete shithead.

The Blood of Dawnwalker is so delightfully good, and got some very interesting worldbuilding for whenever you get back around to it.

If you’re wondering why a specific modern misconception about the medieval world exists there’s at least an 85% chance that the answer is “the Victorians.”

When colonization came to call in the US, many folks wrote about america as a pristine Eden whose forest were filled with delights and bounty. This was because indigenous folk (Like mine) built up food forest. Things that were razed and destroyed as a part of racist violence. Colonization is ongoing

In a setting where vampire blood can heal all illnesses and physical injuries I oddly... appreciate that the writers for Dawnwalker make the differentiation on mental health. Always irks me when things like trauma or depression just gets neatly resolved and then it never reappears again.

I'm feeling attacked by @theonion.com but also 10/10.

"How a Book Becomes A Bestseller, The Onion demystifies the publishing process."

1. Proletariat becomes literate.
2. Author's creative inspiration flourishes upon marrying spouse with high-earning, unethical job.
3. Author chooses magical being to have sex with, then works backwards.
4. Author lands agent by running full speed into them while holding loose-leaf copy of manuscript.
5. Penguin Random House blackmailed into seven-figure book deal.
6. Editor removes typos and originality.
7. Famous author who hasn't read book reminded they got three glowing blurbs last year from authors who hadn't read theirs.
8. Publisher contacts Merriam-Webster to license all words it's using.
9. Marketing completely misrepresents plot, tone, and author.
10. Terrified independent bookstore owners gamble their razor-thin profit margin on this one.
11. PR firm hires thousands of people through Craigslist to performatively read book on subway.
12. Colman Domingo, contractually obligated to appear in all things, voices audiobook.
13. New York Times oracle nods.
14. Book written for sole purpose of becoming movie becomes movie.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Bumble shark plushies! She's so fuzzy 😭🐝

A photo of Humlehaj, the bumble shark, being held by two arms up in the air against a background of sunflowers and a traditional red Swedish house. Humlehaj is a hybrid between bumblebee and shark, and has therefore a fuzzy body and brown and yellow stripes, as well as small bumblebee wings. She looks like she is ready to buzz away and towards the sunflowers! If only those hands would let her go... Free her!!!

A photo of Humlehaj, the bumble shark, being hugged sweetly against a person wearing a striped t-shirt. There are some sunflowers in the background. Humlehaj has two hands cosily hugging her against the person's chest. She is such a cosy cuddle buddy!

Humlehaj has been caught again in this photo, and is being held against someone wearing a dark brown coat while she is pointed outwards, her fins sticking out a little.. Humlehaj does not seem to mind much, though, as she is smiling and as round as ever. One could even say she loves a good play session!

The writers for #Dawnwalker really crammed the entire game full of all the history refs they could. It's such a delight, and so fun to look up stuff I find in notes and books to see what the historical reference is.

I've always assumed that Eden Ramuh looks like that because in WoL's head it went Ramuh - Beard - Cid - Buff, and... WoL yoinking Alphinaud and Estinien along for the crossdimensional ride just because they got a Plot Vision of Not-Ysayle feels like it supports that lmao.

Decided to step out of my comfort zone to design a whole fay inspired rapier for my dear Faas, my rogue-warlock. I will make a better layout for it but I am pretty happy with the design! #swordtember #art #conceptart #DungeonsAndDragons #DnD

Page for a rapier concept art on a simple gray background.
On the far left there is a basic rapier, on its side, the same but seemed to have gone through a heavy rusting losing great part of the original structure. At the right of them the same rapier, now transformed into a magical weapon, where pieces of the blade seemed to have grown out of the rust of the previous one. Also the guard is transformed and something bloomed out of it embracing the pommel at the top.

At the extreme right there's a close up to show the details of the transformed pommel, and at it's bottom different trials of how the fay magic would transform it.

Scribbled text and grids everywhere as note taking during the design process.
