Things I Wish I’d Known When I Started Writing Fic On Ao3

Wait what's a buildings fire evacuation plan if you aren't supposed to use the elevator to get down

Hi!

I'm pretty new to art and trying to learn color to... weird results. I really love the way you use color in your art, it's like, the prettiest thing ever!! Could you make a tutorial or explain how you do it?

hello!

aw thank youu <3

I can't make a full tutorial right now but the gist of color palettes is finding colors that work together, most colors can work together if you find the right hue, I usually just wing these but it's basically about keeping an eye on the color saturation/brightness and make sure it's in range of the other colors

in a color palette usually you'll want to stick to 4-6 colors (loosely speaking) when it comes to entirely different colors, if you have many similar hues sometimes it can be better to just make it one (for example if you have several small details in a picture that don't necessarily need to be of different colors, u can just use colors already present in the palette for them)

and then there's colors u can use for shading! once you have your base color you use the slider on the color wheel to pick an adjacent shade and then pick a lighter or darker color within range and there u have it

there's just so many possible combinations also like desaturated colors + bright colors, the whole neon colors scale.. color theory stuff like complementary colors, anyway I hope this helps a little!

DEATH BY RABID SQUIRREL

Okay, okay, okay. So I’m at my D&D club at my local library with 11 fellow PCs and our DM. So our wizard is sort of a loose cannon and plays chaotic neutral and sort of tries to do the randomest acts of stupidity. So this session we are in this city and we’ve split the party ( I know, I know) My sorcerer is off awaiting the arrival of the king, our bard is at a magic shop, and the rest of our party is at a circus that we’ve been requested to act as guards for. Except our wizard.

Our wizard, he’s trying to rob someone. Our wizard decides to try and rob this middle class old man, so he goes up to him and our DM has him roll for slight of hand and insight. He succeeds his slight of hand, but fails his insight role. He starts searching through the old man’s pocket and in said pocket is a rabid squirrel that attacks him. The old man discovers he’s being pick pocketed and screams in the most insane-old-man-with-rabies fashion “ARE YOU TRYING TO STEAL MY SQUIRRELS!” Both the rabid squirrel and old man proceed to Attack our wizard... The squirrel gets a critical, the squirrel then deals near max damage to our wizard and he’s knocked into critical with one failed death saving throws. He fails another, succeeds one, fails his third.

So our wizard is now dead and his player is now notably upset considering that none of our characters have ever died since our current DM has only started DMing for us this session, and our previous DM had never DMed before, and never really wanted us to die since most of us were brand new to D&D. So our current DM is feeling really bad about killing our wizard and upsetting our player, but our necromancer, and previous DM, had a solution. She cast animate dead on our wizard and our DM allowed it and our necromancer now has the ability to command our undead, chaotic neutral, zombie wizard to do anything she wishes once per session. So, yeah, that’s the story of how our wizard robbed an old man, got killed by a rabid squirrel, and was resurrected from the dead by our necromancer.

Somehow through my hatred of crypto and NFTs I’ve become a person who knows a lot about crypto and NFTs. Possibly as much as one can know without actively participating in the system in some way or learning how to code. I’m not sure what exactly I’ve become or why but I’m a walking encyclopedia of crypto knowledge that hates crypto. What do I do?

wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating

are some of the people newer to tumblr aware of the joys of theme customization on desktop? I know some ppl are just on mobile so they can’t really change things but like SO many blogs nowadays have 0 theme customization and just use the default theme and I’m beginning to wonder if they even know about the option. It’s one of the main reasons why I still use tumblr
