Does anyone just... forget what day it is and the entire date, and don't really care to figure any of it out.
It's currently summer, and that's about all I care about.
I drew a bunch of silly stuff with my werewolf woman and decided to gather it one post. Sometimes you just have to decompress through being goofy
You can read about her here.

These comics are just some silliness I drew for fun. It's not really canon, she lives in a separate setting and isn't able to talk as a werewolf. Her original story is also pretty rough and tragic.

Pumpkin carving comic was a reward I drew for my patron Taxis
Beach comic was a reward I drew for my patron Shroom
I doubt AI can compare to the years of madness that a writer can go through for the sake of a series.
My universe has permanently altered the way I spend my free time. I've done drawings of just about every character and have plans drawn for every unique item with such detail that I can pick it up years later and build it with much thought.
AI can not imitate that level of devotion to something that's was thought up almost a decade ago.
Headcanon: goblin is a homophone heavy language; you can learn a quarter or so of it and b able to understand the rest.
This sounds amazing, but it also has the Grammer of a drunk man: n's and l's are dropped, double letters are dropped, and many noises are terribly recorded.
A number of words are borrowed words from other languages as well, which makes it more complicated.
Example: "behl e banum" has several possibilities:
Either "that large animal is over there" or "that large animal is constipated," or "nose in dirt, poo is good," and only those fluent in the language understand the context and how to respond without sounding like an idiot.
"Gway ot ma gassa" gets even messier; "ma gassa" and "magassa" are two completely different things, and "ot" and "öt" can lead to disaster if swapped around.
This is why it sounds like noise; because it's several layers of context and percise pronunciation.
They seem like canon fodder, but in groups, word spreads fast, and what's implied is understood.
the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire
icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down
cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)
feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated
In American idiot by Green Day, is it:
"Everything dementedly okay" or "Nothing's meant to be okay", or is it "everything's not meant to be okay?" Because I've always heard the former until someone did a cover, and they said the latter.
They're equally fucked up and fitting.
Environmental storytelling toilet skeleton with the obligatory ominous personal journal lying on the floor beside it, except the journal entries continue beyond the writer's death, with periodic updates describing events occurring in and around the abandoned restroom where the skeleton is located and offering wry observational humour about the process of decomposition, all in the same highly distinctive authorial tone as the entries from life. Following several large time skips owing to nothing interesting happening during the omitted spans, the final entry ends with a notably uncomplimentary description of the player character entering the restroom.
Fun fact: the 8 hour work day is a rather recent concept.
Meaning, prior to that, people (on average) worked less per week. But I'm guessing it heavily depended on the person and the work demand
Imagine that: Joseph the scrib only worked 6 hours today, writing only 4 pages of this massive tome he's a part of doing.
Why 4 pages? The prep work for each page and the quills, the slow process of writing each word, and scratching out each mistake as they happen.
On the flip side, Nathaniel the local blacksmith is living in the shop all day and night because of the backlog of orders and repairs. He had to hire a couple apprentices to help and he's still behind.
Mat is a painter and he wasn't feeling it for the last week, so he's been causing havoc at the local market; putting things in the wrong booths which confuses the hell out of customers and annoys the merchants.
Then I laugh when you realize most of them are going there because they go against yashua's teachings.
