I just spent $1 to get the Totem of the Duck barbarian expansion by matt mercer (based on Lionel Gayheart) and it’s the best pay what I wanted dollar i ever fucking spent
Favorite trope 348234: when person who nearly died wakes up in hospital bed, looks around, sees the object of their affection asleep in a chair next to them because they haven’t moved in days
I take you and raise you a found family scattered around the room because they have all been there for days and that couch is really small.
LOL! That is amazing. That could totally be a ship meme: in your OTP, who is the barefoot one and who is the one silently carrying a cute stranger’s shoes? 😂😂😂
Your shoe story reminds me of a shoe story.
I was at this outdoor music festival, and a storm rolled in. Black skies, lightning that seemed only a few feet away, solid sheets of water coming at you at an angle.
I was trying to get to the front gate, where my friend and I had agreed to meet up in the event that a storm hit. Between me and the gate was a lake of mud, and as I crossed it, one of my shoes got stuck. It was easily three feet of mud, and they were crappy old off-brand sneakers, so in the end I just gave up, pulled my foot out of the shoe, and kept going. I lost the other shoe in a similar fashion a couple of feet later.
Once I was back on the gravel path, I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. When I turned, there was a tall, beautiful man standing there, holding my shoes in one hand. “You forgot these.”
“Brown eyes are so plain and ugly you can’t even compare them to gems like emerald and saph-”
Stop.
Carnelian
Cairngorm
Cassiterite
Smoky Quartz
Zircon (brown)
Citrine
Diaspore
Dravite
Enstatite
Hessonite
That’s not even all of GORGEOUS BROWN GEMS THAT EXIST IN THIS WORLD. Just like there are a lot of beautiful brown gems they’re a lot of BEAUTIFUL BROWN EYES. BROWN IS A GORGEOUS COLOR. Start treating it like one.
I am so glad someone did this.
if you don’t want someone to have brown eyes because you can’t compare them to a gem then you’re a bad writer
As a brown-eyed person, I appreciate this for a lot of reasons
Okay I’m sorry I love these a lot and I love people with brown eyes but if I have to read the words “she stared into his cairngorm orbs” i will Cease to Exist
An EXCELLENT animation joke here! Please note that all of this has been animated on 1’s(which is to say that each drawing is only being held for 1 frame), where most anime is animated on 3’s(each drawing held for 3 frames). This makes the animation look especially fluid, but is extremely time consuming to do – even classic Disney cartoons tended to animate on 2’s as much as possible!
Also worth noting is the beautiful flow of S to C curves in the long hair – this is another thin that is often heavily simplified in anime.
What’s more, the entire shot is complicating the animation – the low angle with multiple head turns, the way the hand interacts with the hair, and the extreme foreshortening of the hand as it moves towards the camera.
Lovely animation combined with a wonderful awareness of the skills and pitfalls of the industry!
(This clip is sourced from an anime called Joshiraku, and the rest of it appears to be animated in a more traditional anime style)
da2 is what happens when you get a bunch of dnd characters and then don’t really give them a campaign you just toss them into a city to live there and have Shenanigans.
“I’m playing a elven blood mage.” “yeah, okay, what’s she doing in a human city?” “research.”
“I’m playing a dwarven bard.” “….and?” “just a dwarven bard.” “is he, like, a spy, a wandering adventure, what? why’s he away from the mountain?” “fuck if i know.”
“My character is a cleric to the god of justice who’s become disillusioned with the established orders of priests and wants to destroy them and start again. His name is Anders.” “Is he from the anderfels?” “No, of course not. He’s Ferelden.”
“My character is an elf. His name is Fenris.” “Okay… is he a mage? Does he like… transform into a wolf?” “No, he’s a warrior! He USED to be a slave to a mage, and as a result hates all magic.” “Fine. Roll for strength.” “He can use magic to rip people’s hearts out.” “What.” “His owner put magic ore in his veins and now he can use a magic punch.” “…” “…” “Why would he-” “Also he’s in love with a mage.”
“Is hawke hot?”
“Oh, Hawke is super hot.”
[rolls a charisma saving throw against the hot mage and fails] “SHIT”
Meanwhile Aveline’s just over here gritting her teeth because she spent three hours on her backstory carefully crafted to intertwine with the recent game lore (Ostagar) and her tragic dead husband (Wesley) and nobody else even seems interested
“My character is a dual-wielding rogue and also a sexy pirate.” “Okay, that’s just fine. Well, the party is going into the Qunari compound and-” “Oh, she’s not going in there.” “Why not?” “She has… something else to do.” “Like what.” “something, bye.”
