Lady of the Lake by Jana Schirmer

Whoa. A Lady of the Lake painting where she’s wearing more than see-through, gossamer silk. That’s practically unheard of!

Looks like she has more magical weapons than she originally let on, too (love the halberd).  If she’s summoning them all up at once, though, I suspect she’s not about to give them as gifts.

My first thought was “is that Hermione?” 

And then: “#behold your new hermione headcanon”

Fun tidbit of information! Rowling has actually said that no where in her books did she ever specify Hermione was white! Her physical appearance is barely even described beyond her wild mane of brown hair which could very well describe the hair of a black girl and when presented with the question of whether she was for or against the idea of a black Hermione, Rowling said she was totally supportive of the idea! We all just think of Hermione as white because they cast a white actress to play her in the films but other than that there’s no reason at all to think that the Hermione in the books couldn’t have been black and I think that’s really awesome because I always was a bit bugged by how white the characters in the Potter universe were always depicted as.

I’ve seen this argument before, but I think it remains a valid point:
The more adventuring a knight does, the more banged up their armor gets. Thus being rescued by at ‘knight in shining armor’ means being rescued by a really lazy knight.

This, this is what a knight’s armor should look like after an epic scrum. Outstanding job by Kate on rendering it so believably.

theevercrushingdreams

A valid point, though seriously, is that like a fan art of cassandra from dragon age?

Hah! I hadn’t noticed before, but she does look kind of like Cassandra. Actually, she’s one of Kate Burmak’s many amazing character portraits for Pathfinder.

So there we were, in full nerd-core D&D mode, when the party burst into a room where a horrible dark ritual was being conducted, including the obligatory scantily clad maiden dangling over a pit of ice, about to be sacrificed in order to bring about hell on earth, general badness, screaming and flaming death, etc.

MAIDEN: Save me!
PALADIN: We’ll save you!
DRUID: Uhm, Rooster, are we sure she’s on the up and up?
GM: As far as you can tell, she’s a normal damsel in distress.

After several moments of intense cogitation, Rooster the paladin dredged up memories of late-night studying sessions in little paladin’s school, and came to a conclusion.

PALADIN: And I mean this in the most detached, scientific way possible, but are her nipples….err…it’s cold…You know….?
REST OF PARTY: ….
GM: …I…what….?
PALADIN: ‘Cos if she’s human and dangling over a pit of ice, they’re gonna be all pointy, but demons don’t have working nipples. They don’t lactate! They’re not really mammals! They lay eggs. Sorta like echidnas…well, I mean, the succubuseses do, but that’s different. They use them for other stuff. Not like echidnas. Er.
REST OF PARTY: ….
PALADIN: It’s SCIENCE!
GNOME: What kind of school did you go to?!

Kevin (the GM) gazed out a dark window for a few minutes. He was already having a rough session, as we had refused to ring the obvious magic gong to open the door, opting instead to make an illusory gong sound (nobody makes us ring gongs against our will!) and there had been the lengthy discussion of whether Fizgig can break a magic circle by pooping on it during combat.

GM: …They’re pointy.
PALADIN: We’ll save you!

A few minutes later, the ostensible maiden mind-controlled our gnome. Her familiar, Lawrence the toad, began immediately to panic.

GNOME: Or as we call it in our party, interpretive dance!

While Lawrence danced frantically to express that Something Was Wrong, Rooster was forced to confront his own disillusion.

PALADIN: I can’t believe the nipples lied.
RANGER (with surprising venom): THE NIPPLES ALWAYS LIE!
PALADIN (meekly): Mine don’t. I have Lawful Good nipples.
DRUID’S PLAYER: Dear god, I cannot Tweet fast enough.

PALADIN’S PLAYER: Can I roll a religions check to see why the nipple check failed?
GM: Do it.
PALADIN’S PLAYER: 28.
GM: She’s a succubus. They’re the only species of demon that understand nipples.
PALADIN’S PLAYER: …fair enough.
