Buck’s either the unluckiest mf in LA (where there are over 26k+ restaurants) or Eddie has been dressing in tactical gear and hiding behind trees with Marisol on his backpack like a ready made beard

Home is where the heart is

(Alastiel is a vampire lord NPC from @luposlipaphobya's D&D campaign, Une Cour de Chair et de Charme!)

#vampire #dungeons and dragons #dnd #traditional art #chair et charme #my art #i love it when lupo asks the big and necessary questions like #what if you were in a toxic relationship with your house ?#(which believe it or not is a theme that is getting explored TWICE in this campaign)#anyway the city our PCs live in is half-alive (technically it's a whole vampire in itself) and alastiel is its... semi willing lover ?#it's complicated #anyway he's really fucked-up and tragic and i really like him !! bone grandpa

i feel like I haven't seen enough people mention the fact that Halsin canonically smokes, specifically exotic tobacco, and specifically out of a nice, old pipe that looks (to me) like it might be briar wood.

i just think there is something so inexplicably warm about that, that he enjoys such a small, but extravagant little luxury.

like the only thing I can imagine him smoking is something that envelops him in that woodsy-spicy, pleasantly scratching scent of good quality tobacco for the rest of the day, and the only way I can see him doing it is settled back in a nice chair, with his feet propped up, a good book in his hand, and some fuzzy critter curled up in his lap.

#squirrel plays bg3 #halsin #i live in a town where there's a big tobacco processing plant #and in some parts of the city on certain days there is this..... incredibly pleasant scent of straight tobacco #it's not at all like the smell of cigarette smoke #it's just..... yeah a woodsy-herbal scent I can't describe otherwise #now I'll probably think of halsin every time I smell it #(of course i stole the pipe this is my halsin romance playthrough)#(sexy grandpa needs his pipe)#(which is coincidentally the title of his sex tape)

Left this abandoned in the drafts (which is a bit ironic) but it's a spin on this post, where instead of Apollo just being locked in some room on Olympus somewhere, he's bound to the ruins of an abandoned Ancient Greek city. Maybe somewhere near Delphi, maybe Troy, idk.

#trials of apollo #toa apollo #lester papadopoulos #sunny speaks #would this count as another au? idk #apollart #I got this Idea after learning about ancient Thera (which I can't believe I didn't know about before)#It was kind of the Ancient Greek equivalent to Pompeii? Except the volcanic eruption was MUCH more catastrophic #but because the eruption was so big the people on the island had warning signs for like a decade before it happened #So we have ruins that have been perfectly preserved but there are no bodies #Bc all the people were able to evacuate before the disaster #I mean there aren't even animal corpses at these sites they got everyone out #Fun fact this is also considered to be a large reason why Minoan civilization ended up falling apart #ANYWAYS all that aside I heard “abandoned ruins that have been perfectly preserved in ash” and immediately thought “Hmmmm yes ... suffering #Though to be clear I would not put Apollo in the ruins of ancient Thera (Tho the thought of him being the local cryptid of Santorini is fun #But you know what other city was burned to the ground? Heeheehee

I love how the only visual depiction we have of the protagonist is an ominous as hell Spooky Bird Monster, but even by then we are so fully entrenched in the workings of his mind that we know better than anyone he's Just a Guy

#leading to most fan depictions being cute harmless bird bois #which is not a complaint by the way. more cute birds AND more scary ones! I'm just a simple gal in the big city trying to Have It All #slay the princess #the long quiet

sheet for kian

victor's sheet

#oc: kian micelli #ts4 #I feel the need to bring out some backstory #Kian leaves his house early because he planned to start a career in a big city and he worked hard to make that happen.#He got a position where he may be promoted after getting a degree and achieving his dream job #but he didn't enjoy it as much as he was expecting which broke him #He returned home and soon discovered that he supposed to stay there #Victor however would work in his parents' business for the rest of his life but he found it difficult to adapt to adulthood #He dropped out of college moved out with his parents and is now attempting to figure out his future steps #and they first met at this point #Kian gave himself time to work with his parents all summer before beginning looking for a job #Victor wants to begin a new life.#Before Victor’s family lived there but after several problems that include his brother they left #and now that he’s returned rumors about his family keep being spread so he needs to find a strength #oc stuff #my sims

Love (cannot emphasis how much sarcasm there is in that word) that an official Canadian government response to high cellphone rates is to switch carriers.

Switch it to what? We basically have three companies since one was allowed to eat the forth (with the government saying it wasn't anti-competition and the company eating the other pinky promising they wouldn't jack rates up). Even the smaller companies have to rent infrastructure from the Big Three so there's only so much they can do if that rent costs an arm and a leg.

And that's not touching on how many "small companies" are actually just subsidiaries of the Big Three. You may save $5 but you're still with Telus/Rogers/Bell.

Or that the actual small companies tend to have shit coverage because they don't have the infrastructure available to them and are prevented from getting it. Or their traffic is throttled in favour of the Big Three's customers. Or both.

Or that they're extremely regional thus aren't an option for a huge chunk of Canada's population.

We have no true options and the government has shown time and again that they're fine with monopolies, in multiple industries, and don't care when said monopolies jack up prices to make shareholders and the c-suite more money at the expense of everyone else. At most there will be a verbal slap on the wrist and a giftcard for $25 that people have to register for, for a decade and a half of price gouging.

It's not talked a whole lot about outside the country from what I've seen and heard but Canada is a country of monopolies. A handful of companies own nearly everything, every province has a family or two that owns a hell of a lot (Nova Scotia is basically owned by one family at this point), and our government ignores it. Even the branch that is supposed to be against monopolies is fine with mergers and takeovers in most cases.

Because, you know, the company said it totally wouldn't use consumers' lack of options to increase prices.

#canada #so much of our infrastructure and critical construction such as housing #has been pawned off for decades to private companies #and i forgot to mention one (1) family owns the bridge that is a major international corridor between canada and the us #which is apparently fine even though they fought tooth and nail to stop a bridge they don't own from being built #like our housing crisis can be traced back to the government deciding to stop building public housing in the 90s #because they figured private developers would pick up the slack #affordable apartments don't bring in much money so we got decades of cheap-ass 'luxury condos' instead #and once airbnb became a thing we got entire buildings with units <300sqft #and of course when the party in charge rotates between conservatives and neolibs nothing changes and that can gets kicked down the road #and keeps getting kicked until something collapses and they see the chance to fully privatize an industry #something similar is happening to our healthcare system too #it has been left to languish for years/decades with funding freezes and cuts #and private companies are quick to jump in and get the government stamp of approval to do [thing] that the public system clearly can't do #when [thing] would absolutely be possible if it was actually funded and/or staffed #so many communities were cut off when greyhound closed up shop because there's no government inter-city transportation #we lost internet/banking/cell service/etc nation-wide because one of the big three decided to push an update to live without redundancies #and it bugged and took the entire company's network down #even the government agency that demands major companies have a backup on a different network was taken down because they ignored that #and they got a deal if they kept their backup with rogers while their main network was also rogers #so they couldn't even make an emergency statement or anything about it #half my province also lost all digital infrastructure because it's a private company and making a redundancy line would mean smaller bonuse #it's just so bad #joke all you want about how canada is nice and friendly #but you are wrong and it's hell if you actually live here #the only reason canada is seen as nice is because it's hard to not seem like the better option when the us is your neighbour #and because of decades of pr work to make canada seem friendly and nice and not at all problematic #in some countries you actually have to try to hide you're canadian because of how much we colonize and the damage we do to other countries #yes these tags have derailed from the post but ugh #i take major issue with people who insist canada is nice and has never done anything wrong

Y'all, how old are Bud and Glenn? Because I really want an AU where a 15-ish-year-old og!Cale gets tossed at some random place by a wrong teleportation scroll and they end up parenting him.

Yes, even after he gets back to his territory.

"We can't just leave him alone like this, Glenn. Someone has to stop the baby from drinking stuff he shouldn't. What if he gets an alcohol overdose and dies? What if he drinks poison again and it works?!"

"...I wasn't going to stop you. But you forgot to pack your paperwork."

"...Just pass it over."

#like og!cale was kidnapped or something #and then he scaped #but the scroll he had just in case something like this happened had the wrong coordenates #or maybe he fell in a near teleportation trap that someone left before #and bud and glenn found this teenager who uses similar ways to collect info than bud #which would be great except this is a child #and they got attached to the smart little guy #oh no the baby said something really sad #what do you mean you still have weeks before someone notice?#oh your butler is running an errand out of the city?#wait why is your butler the only one who would notice you are gone?#eventually the mercenary guild basically moves to the henituse county #because the big bosses are more there than at the old base #white star is confused af when he enters to the library and is totally empty #bud and glenn take turns to pick up cale as a cat whenever he tries to drink #then some mercenaries start doing the same #that's babysit duty for you #lcf #og cale henituse #og cale #og!cale henituse #og!cale #lcf bud #lcf glenn #Parents BudGlenn AU

this poll brought to you by a text I got from one of the other [my job title]'s contractors while I'm covering for him being gone. The contractor texted me "The answer is as always [his name] [his company ID number]" To which I could only say "what was the question?"

#the person behind the yarn #also brought to you by the many many contractors that will request I quote something for them via email #so I send the quote via email #and then they text me 'okay I'll take it'#and it's like great! thanks! Who are you? what are you taking???#it's not as big a problem when I am only dealing with my contractors #but I am getting a reputation among other [job title]'s contractors when I cover for them #as someone who can fix paperwork problems #which means I get texts from unknown numbers saying things like #why didn't I get paid for the [city name] job??#and I have to be like WHICH ONE we have done so much work in that city #also who are you #but when they send me the job number I can look it up and find their name so I usually don't even bother asking for their name

MiqoMarch Day 18 - Snow

When your partner has been trained to strike from behind, it's best not to loose sight of her.

#miqomarch #miqomarch2024 #ffxiv #g'raha tia #y'shtola rhul #wolgraha #wolshtola #y'shtola x wol #WOL posting #Arsay Nun #ffxiv gpose #arsay cant help but sneak and be silly #tbh arsay is really not a big fan of ishgard #for one its cold and shes not a big fan #thankfully shes got proper cold weather gear now which is what you see here #two: even though the fortemps gladly welcome her into their home she still just doesnt feel right being there #despite how long its been and even if shes sorta made peace with it shes always going to carry some guilt over what happened in the vault #BUT G'raha said he wanted to see it proper so she will bite her tongue and go with him #she'll just also happen to slink off and help the first person she sees after showing g'raha around the upper city levels #a mere coincidence surely #graha so handsome in that third shot imo #i know im biased but shhh

cant believe i reached 30 tags in prev post rambling about homestuck i didnt even know there was a limit

#i usually save word diarrhea for twitter but hope someone enjoys the huge dump i took here for once #anyways tldr homestuck orv and taz are all special stories to me in kind of similar ways #that i would elaborate on if i thought i could piece together my words that would entice people rather than scare them off lmao #so i'll just say IT's COOL.. I SWEAR #and also genshin which is an outlier i suppose bc its the only capital P Popular thing #but i'd also put genshin w those first three stories in terms of how interesting i find their storytelling methods and narrative themes #i love the pockets of genshin fandom that are ppl obsessing over fragments of lore and making big conspiracy boards #i dont really interact w main genshin fandom but i like peeking at the other pockets haha. like the people investigating khaenri'ah lore..#very cool.. and people invested in sumeru gang. the sumeru characters are so interesting #whole city of eccentrics you can bash together and examine #i'm scara and childe fan forever idk what they did to my brain but i think they were a psyop #made specifically in ways they knew would target me and the things i like damn ‼️#someone at genshin HQ put crack in these guys and i cant stop drawing them and coming up w ideas to draw my beautiful muses that ruined me

I have not stopped thinking about this AU you are RUINING ME

I am IN LOVE with your art, the rendering the form, the DESIGNS IN THIS AU? Oh my god, OH my god, the details down to Zorran has a Prince Albert's tie knot where as Zip has a double Windsor? Like Oh My God?????? OH MY GOD? Ah

The fucking "I have psychological problems so I'm stuck here with you troglodytes" Has been permanently implanted in my brain in Zorrans voice

JUMPS AROUND MY ROOM JUMPS AROUND MY ROOMCLAWS ON THE DRYWALL

ZIP MY CUTIE PATOOTIE HES SO CUTE......... HES SO SO CUTE YOU DREW HIM SO CUTE . MY LITTLE CLUELESS GANGSTER.... LOOK AT HIM GO!!!! HES SO HANDSOME!!!!! THAT SIDE HEADSHOT WITH HIS GIANT COAT..... SHAKES HIM AROUND and hi zorran. my favorite sane but not very well adjusted right hand man. hes also very cute ....... I love his twirly zig-zag stray hair. hopefully a bottle of krating daeng can help him with his endeavors

thank you so much for drawing them I CANT STOP STARING AT THIS ...... ZIP AND ZORRAN MY BELOVEDS......

#asks #firecooking #for me #this is tugs #tugs zorran #tugs zip #fortezza bigg city #this is such a PLEASANT SURPRISE TO WAKE UP TO!!!!!!! :DDDDD THANK YOU SO MUCH #''I am cheating on atf8'' dfnbfhryeiyr3;'.078 #also thanks for noticing the tie thingies!!!!#zorran is a professional at his work and has been around for a long time which evident by his tidy knot #while zip is a newbie that just joined a few months ago. his tying technique is so awkward and messy (shown in his initial art)#double windsor but a 5th grader made it #''ha ha... I'm in danger'' zip you've got a big storm coming. or should I say BIGG #(a piano falls on me)#just got a huge boost of motivation to draw more z-stacks content because their version in fbc makes me horrendously ill

Still bothered by the fact that no one has a bathroom/toilet in the Commonwealth

#mostly talking about pre-war buildings that youd think should have them #like no one in Diamond City has a toilet in their house but most prewar houses dont have bathrooms unless its the sanctuary ones #in which case the houses in Sanctuary have bathrooms bigger than the bedrooms sometimes and then there arent enough bedrooms #the Rosa house has a single small bedroom with a big kitchen and bathroom #like where tf did her kid sleep? the garage?#I just end up turning the bathroom into a bedroom but then I need to think about where they are shitting #I'm sorry I like some amount of realism with my builds #this post brought to you by me attempting to recreate fallout buildings in the sims #fuzzy.post
