Urag: a month. can you do it in a month.

as the new month approaches here is a February prompt list poll!! decided I want to do some interactions for the month of LOVE if that suits everyone... so let's pick!

people are drawing Steamboat Willie Mickey doing all this crazy shit and whatnot, but you could always do that. you can do that now, with current Mickey, just fine. it's fanart and it's legally protected. hell you could take Disney-drawn Mickey and put a caption about unions or whatever on it and it would still be protected under free speech and sometimes even parody law.

what is special about public domain is that you can SELL him. you could take a screenshot and sell it on a tshirt. you can use him to advertise your plumbing business. people have already uploaded and monetized the original film.

you could always have Mickey say what you want, but now you can profit off it.

pacing the room. Orsimer using the suffix "-wife" as a gender-neutral community title indicating one's functional social position rather than an exclusively marital term. ex: "forgewife" meaning a master blacksmith, under whom aspiring blacksmiths train; these are the people overseeing your most important smithing jobs and making sure your up-and-coming smiths are just as well-versed in fine detailing as they are in practicality and function. a community wife is therefore an authority figure of a kind, yes, but also one who has chosen to give as much of themselves as they can to the community IRT their specific skills; community members who hold a level of authority necessarily have a corresponding responsibility to their people.

orcish communal living requires a level of bracing yourself against your neighbors/allowing your neighbors to brace themselves against you that differs from more individualistic societies, which necessitates that the nuclear family be less of a rigid structure. children are the responsibility of every adult - you get just as much instruction and discipline and love from your fifty not-blood-related aunts and uncles as you do from your mom and dad. who you go home to at night is your individual thread in the many-stranded rope that makes up the community; if someone in your household needs help, then, you're their most immediate line of support. taking on the role of a wife (again, used as a gender-neutral term) in the context of a marriage therefore is saying "I choose to share first responsibility for your wellbeing."

this distinction leads to some interesting intercultural miscommunication - an outsider unfamiliar with orcish culture hearing about the existence of a forgewife, huntwife, herdwife, etc., assumes the title is being used in the way they're familiar with and that the chieftain has several wives by marriage; an orc unfamiliar with outside cultures learns the word "housewife" and assumes the title is being used in the way they're familiar with.

tonight's thought before bedtime: fresh-faced Winterhold apprentices asking why there's not an Event where they get to go dancing. where's the wizard prom. as wizards are famously not known for their socializing prowess, however, this question sort of answers itself. "the Bards' College has dances!" the Bards' College also, crucially, has musicians. and a budget

sticking my head in for a split second because the boy is talking to my dad AT THIS VERY MOMENT and I am having. heart palpitations,

hello friends I have a question. the meme "I think I hauve covid", what does it mean. this is probably understandably a difficult one to google so I am turning to you all... is it always a response to a sexy thing or is it just an indicator of general excitement

havoc about to break out at the wizard convention (tag courtesy of @jiubilant)

soft hat. long hair. moustache. unbothered. in his lane. flourishing.

the other thing was Wuunferth claiming to be a member of the College and therefore he couldn't POSSIBLY be a necromancer because they haven't allowed necromancy in "hundreds of years" vs Phinis like "what? we never banned that." gets me every time. Mr. The Unliving you can't just make things up about your (ALLEGED...) alma mater as your legal defense

(cut for image as I'm talking about it you know how it goes)

really have done myself a great service in that literally I can't stop smiling whenever I draw her. my face hurts but it is WORTH it. fruits of my labor wherein I am laboring like this :D the whole time -

in my notes trying to explain the alteration-restoration pipeline in a way that will read logically outside my head like

currently in TUMBLR EXILE because I saw a post last night tagged "tumblr fyp" and went "lol? that's not a thing?" and today only the "for you" tab will load. not even my own blog will load. only the algorithm tab. I'm in hell

just referred to the Midwest as a "realm" instead of a region so. greetings fellow residents of the realm
