The Trick I Hit On Was To Always Contribute. Always Ask Questions. Offer Opinions. Clarify Acronyms.

Trees, man. Just big fuckin' trees. Love 'em.

The General Sherman Trail - Probably my favorite spot in Sequoia National Park.

Prints - Framer.art

Hark & Nav, leaders of the Locked Tomb gang, house Escher, and some minions

honestly it could go either way

Last pantheon I made up for a game, I just said "screw it" and made said Gremlin one of the Creator Gods. "This is [Space], who gives things a place to happen, [Time], who permits things to change, and this is [Chaos] who makes sure it isn't boring." Dozens of lesser divinities of course, but the Three are a statuesque angel with clock for a halo, a star-filled void with a nebula for a heart, and a giggling rodent who treats the world as her personal AO3.

I think what I love most about mythology is that the “Trickster God/Spirit” is an archetypical character found in almost every body of folklore. It’s like “Oh, here’s our God of the Sun, our God of the Sea, our God of Fertility, and our God of Being A Wretched Little Gremlin Who Causes Problems On Purpose”

Something I've seen a couple of times recently: "Credit to the original artist," or words to that effect.

I've bitched elsewhere to get the feelings out (tl;dr FUCK OFFFFF WHAT A NOTHING PHRASE), but here you're getting the positively-worded PSA:

Crediting art is a practical act to let people know whose work they're enjoying. It needs to at least include their name, and if at all possible it's polite to put a link to somewhere their work can be found so people can explore further. This isn't just a spell we invoke for politeness' sake: it's part of a healthy artistic ecosystem, and without actually connecting to the original artist it's not achieving that purpose.

"Credit to the original artist" invokes the form but has none of the function. It's wearing credit's skin but I don't care about the skin; I need the meat.

Welcome. Welcome to Tumblr.

You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining social networking websites. I thought so much of Tumblr that I elected to establish my Administration here, in the Citadel so thoughtfully provided by Our Benefactors. I have been proud to call Tumblr my home. And so, whether you are here to stay, or passing through on your way to parts unknown, welcome to Tumblr. It’s safer here.

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

Made me a new stompy friend, adorned with old Terran "Edge Ward" designs to protect from daemons and in-laws. Lot of fun putting this one together, and as with the one I did a few months back I cannot undersell how delighted I am that nailart transfers are literally the same stuff as your usual wargaming transfer sheets.

The Ferengi Commerce Authority is significantly funnier if you work in UK finance, as our regulator is also the FCA.
