Oh Absolutely

fellas. gamers. astarion lovers. i figured it out.

I FIGURED OUT HOW TO DRAW HIS HAIR

(ignore that he has no eyes or mouth im not emo or bad i drawing i swear i just didnt wanna ruin the good drawing so im gonna draw his eyes/mouth on some of that cool translucent sketch paper)

a writing competition i was going to participate in again this year has announced that they now allow AI generated content to be submitted

their reasoning being that "we couldn't ban it even if we wanted to, every writer already uses it anyway"

"Every writer"?

come on

pass the olive garden breadstick to your followers 

thinking about the biological implications of someone (Ryley Robinson) getting stuck on an alien planet (4546B) with purely silicon-based lifeforms (headcanon).

like would he just starve??? Because if everything is composed of silicon there's no real use for carbon sugars and I dont think people can digest silicon last I checked

the main idea is that this could lead to some absolutely fucked-up prompts like Ryley slowly starving to death even though he feels full because his body is physically incapable of processing whatever fucked up molecules the plants/animals/other on 4546B use in place of carbon sugars. And he keeps misdiagnosing what's wrong with him as maybe it's part of the kharaa but then he gets to the floating island and gets potatoes and melons and lantern fruit and he either thinks he got over the kharaa or puts two and two together and realizes he was dying from starvation and/or malnutrition

Think of your favourite character who's dead.

Would you survive the thing that killed them (as yourself, with your ability but their armour or weapons)?

does anyone else every analyze a character's design while trying to draw them and go HOLYYY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

anyways astarion has a "bat-shaped" nose (how ive decided to simplify it)

First off: vampire bat

notice the upside-down heart nose.

and then, the pookie:

probably SO uninintentional, but im running with it to the ends of the earth. if i ever have the motivation to fully draw astarion im giving him a simplified "bat nose"

THIS IS FOR ALL MY DELULU BABYS AND GRILLS

HE HAS ARRIVED

so, the two main genres of adult fantasy are "there's too many dragons" and "there's no more dragons" right? i just realized that we could technically be in an urban fantasy "all the dragons are dead :(" thing (depending on what you consider a dragon) because dinosaurs like isnt that so silly

dwarf, talking about his wife: yeah she's great she's a miner isnt that awesome modern day human: What

why orange cats are stupid little dipshits

after doing a bit of googling, i cannot find a single actual study that has been done to determine why orange cats are considered stupid, but i have a theory.

its because orange cats are mostly male

now thats not me being "heehoo men stoopie" (very stupid trans man), its like a valid theory. 80% of orange cats are male (quick google search results) because the gene for being orange is linked to the X chromosome, so most gingers are male.

so i propose an experiment.

we take two groups of several common coat colors/patterns of domestic shorthairs (since those are the most common housecat (another quick google search). each of the 2 groups for each coat will have 100 individuals, one group with the average male/female ratio of that coat normally (for gingers that would be 80 males, and 20 females) and the second group would be 50/50 male female.

then, follow the cats from birth to maturity (~2 years old)(google search) and track "mental" milestones. also important that these cats would be raised in a typical "household" setting you found find a normal domestic cat in, and they would be raised alone.

then, after all that info is gathered, compare the relative intelligence of the cats of the average m/f ratio and the 50/50 m/f ratio. theoretically the average m/f ratio of orange cats should be dumber than the 50/50 ratio of oranges

and then, finally, we (and i) will have a true explanation for why (my) orange cat(s) are fucking stupid as all hell
