i feel like tumblr would really benefit using tone indicators. a lot of people may use them, but i havent seen a lot of it! as a neurodivergent, it helps us understand the tone of what you're saying. sometimes it's hard to tell whether you're actually mad, or it's just lighthearted, or if you're being sarcastic!
here's a chart of tone indicators if you're interested in using them:
also: please do not use any of these as a joke. do not put /srs if you are not being serious. these tone indicators are supposed to be helping neurodivergents and neurotypicals alike.

If you’re struggling with envisioning a fight scene, you might consider drawing inspiration from one of these martial arts videos:
Quarterstaff techniques in slow motion (could also be useful for up-close mage staffwork)
More quarterstaff, more fun and theatrical.
A bit of quick polearm fighting.
The music is painful and if you’re not used to watching fighting it might be hard to spot the hits, but full-speed fighting with sword and center-grip round (”Viking”) shields.
SCA-style shieldwork for “heater” shields in slow motion. [Hey I know these dudes!]
Live-steel longsword tournament with some good talking between fights.
Not pumped yet? Have some full-contact, full-speed, live-steel Battle of the Nations lunatics. Living history geeks are absolutely the craziest geeks.
This is a pretty random selection but the point is that if you’re stuck on action scenes, Youtube and the many lunatics who are willing to get hit with weapons have your back.

After the shower. Oil on linen. An experiment in how many water drops I could paint before I went insane. (i lost count)
