This is a *really good* article that both handles anatomy concerns and presumes zero background makeup knowledge. Well done.

It’s amazing that the cover photo is showing both older women and people of color, something that the media consistently ignores regarding the trans community.

This post is awesome and extremely helpful for anyone just getting into makeup application!

@the-other-boleyn-girl: It also includes drug store make-up options for women who can’t afford the Mac and Urban Decay products used in the tutorial!

^ Wanted to include that helpful tidbit in this thread, as well :D

AAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

Death offers a game for your life. You decide on D&D.

“I assume you’ve never played?” I asked. The cloaked figure across from me shook their head slowly. “Great,” I said. “I’ll be the DM. I’ll walk you through everything. First, character creation.” Six hours later Death sat leaned over the table with a mountain dew in one hand and a D20 in the other. Their hood was thrown back to reveal a bleached grinning skull. We were in the company of four infernals from the depths of the Abyss. I don’t remember which of us invited each of them. Turned out we had quite a few friends in common. They rolled a one. “Oohh, tough luck,” I said with a smile. “Fuck. This is the best time I’ve had in centuries, but I really should get back to work,” they said reluctantly. “Yeah…” One of the demons agreed. “I actually have a meeting with some senators in like an hour.” “Same time next week?” Death asked. “I’ll be here,” I agreed. I suspected they knew before we started that this was a game that didn’t have to have an end and didn’t have a winner.

Just a little random inspiration.

For those who don’t know, this xkcd strip was done as a memorial when Gary Gygax died.

They came back the next week, and the week after that. After a month of weekly sessions, Death pulled me aside.

“Hey,” he muttered, shuffling his skeletal feet a bit and rubbing his arm. “I don’t want to be That Guy, but this game does have an end, right? I’m having a blast, but this is still technically work for me, and I have to file reports, especially with all the loopholes I had to pull on to get a multi-session game approved in the first place.”

“Oh, yeah, for sure!” I told him. “There’s lots of ways for it to end. “Your characters could all die, we could finish the story we’re telling together, or our group could even just stop playing.”

Satisfied, he took his place at the table, but for months thereafter, he would cock his head at me every time I ended a session with excitement to play again. All I could do was shrug.

The weeks turned into months, turned into years, and Death stopped his reminders that our game, like everything else in the world, would eventually have to die. He told me, once, that he was determined to see this through to the end because my absurdly long game would make for a good story, but I think he had grown attached to his gnome cleric. Her magic was from the Life domain, and his grin always seemed just a touch wider every time he healed someone.

Half a decade after we began, my players were as seasoned as their level 20 characters, and I was running out of curveballs that would challenge them, so I wrote an end to the campaign. I spent months on it, carefully tying up every loose plot thread I could think of and giving all five members of the party the best resolution I could muster. Three of them got married to each other.

There were tears flowing from every eye that wasn’t an empty socket as I narrated their proverbial rides into the sunset, before finally I folded my screen, looked at each of them in turn, and said “The end. Death, you can take my soul now.”

He froze, and the demons around the table turned as one to stare at him.

Then, slowly, he cocked his head the same way he used to. “But you won,” he said. “The object of the game is to tell a story with your friends, and you did.”

“But so did you!” I cried! “And everyone knows that when Death wins a game, he gets your soul.”

Death’s grin spread wider than it ever had when he saved someone’s life in-game. “Didn’t you just finish pouring it into a game that you shared with me?”

Happy National Sibling Day!! c:

was playing 999 and god knows how I love pink haired girls lol

i hate how games set in our universe - esp in the future - act like any kind of basic terminology for marginalized groups just… doesn’t exist

like, if a character is trans? they’ll never say the words “trans” or “transgender.” instead they’ll unnaturally spout a sentence about them “finally being [their] true self” or “i used to be carl/jessica now i’m jessica/carl.” if they’re gay? a dude will talk about his husband or a woman will talk about her girlfriend but the word “gay” will never, ever leave their mouths. it’ll be obvious because of how bad and chunkily it’s written yet it’s ALSO infuriatingly vague at the same time bc the devs… just… can’t… say… the damn… words…

it’s?? so fucking absurd and 99% why most marginalized characters come off as distracting and only tokens to a lot of people. their dialogue just isn’t natural - gil in mea coyly saying “i’m not susceptible to [female flirting]” when a simple “i’m gay” would suffice. hainly dead naming herself when simply saying “i’m trans and that’s why i decided to come here” would’ve been FAR more natural

and the thing is?? i don’t see the benefit to all this trepidation coming from the devs? like, this tiptoeing shit definitely doesn’t the appease the marginalized groups they’re representing (it makes us seem like something to hide) but it ALSO doesn’t avoid any outrage from bigoted dudebros since the awkward and clunky dialogue brings even MORE attention to it resulting in a backlash from EVERYONE

like? games have no problem calling a door a door… if someone’s gay, why not just. say. gay. IT’S NOT HARD

Aesthetic

The computer said my next patient’s name was Lucifer, and that he was a domestic. Not that an unusual name for a pet, I have to admit.

“Come on in. Do you have Lucifer hiding in that box for me?” I say. A gentleman dressed all in black with a rather spiky aesthetic and a selection of piercings comes into my consult room and opens the box.

He places a perfectly black rabbit on the table.

Honestly, I had been expecting a cat.

Turns out Lucifer is his new rabbit. He’d insisted on taking it from a friend who wasn’t taking care of it a few months ago.

Lucifer, for his part, had decided the table was too scary and that his dad’s leather clad armpit was the best place to be.

To my surprise and delight, our new goth rabbit owner is doing everything right. Perfect diet, read up on rabbit health, vaccinating, enrichment, the works.

He even started a vegetable garden to grow treats for the rabbit, or as he put it, “tributes for lucifer.”

I….. I love this …..

IM SO EXCITED OMG!!!! 

Finally some Tellius on FE Heroes aaaah!!!!

video game creators: it’s a wonderful time in history where games bring people together! multiplayer is in demand and the way of the future! co-op is the only way to go!

me: i’m begging you…….. please…….. give me back my story-driven single player games……………
