The power of friendship versus the power of incredible violence is a false dichotomy. The violence of which you are capable all by yourself lies firmly within the sphere of the credible. It is the power of friendship which enables the power of incredible violence.

@shiftingpath here's the secret santa for @frostmantle, The Sentinel of Blasphemous Covenants Sealed in Silence. At first I thought making him Astarion, but after the ref pics came out I settled on posing him like Lord Strahd
A very happy Calibration to @hamsandlich and their Abyssal, The Seraph of Promised Silence. Wanted to showcase how it may look as her wings sprout, still deciding if things will be solved with raw persuasion or ...persuasive violence.
Hope you have an easy 2024!!
Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh imlove it!!!,

Apropos of nothing, I would do a number of unspecified drastic deeds in return for a high speed public rail system across the DC-Maryland-Northern Virginia municipal triad.
So Arizona launched an “education hotline” that allows “concerned parents” to report “””critical race theory””” and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom
It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education
602-771-3500 or empower @ azed .gov 🤡
and for the love of god, don’t just spam it with memes or le funny shrek jokes or whatever, they’ll just hang up
make plausible-sounding reports for things that don’t actually exist, so that they actually have to waste time/resources investigating false leads - the goal is to waste time they would otherwise be using to do their jobs, not to get tumblr clout for being an epic troll
So apparently the internet article said the superintendent wouldn't be deterred by the prank calls because they would 'taper off eventually'. It'd be a real shame if this post stayed in circulation via queues so they get a consistent list of prank calls to filter through. 😇
it’s absolutely hilarious to me when dogs use pillows. like rest ur head sweetness

As per my last reblog:

Pantheons in fantasy will almost always be something like “fire deity, water deity, light deity, EVIL deity, GREAT MOTHER” while an average bronze age city’s pantheon was s/t like “deity personifying the city, god everyone has to treat as the main one because his city got geopolitically lucky, three or so personifications of main local sources of income, a nearby mountain, half a dozen incoherent minor deities (at least one is the result of some misspelling a name), deified branding iron”
In every pantheon worthy of note, there are EIGHT ESSENTIAL DIVINE ARCHETYPES that must be present:
THE FERTILITY/PROSPERITY/WAR/LAW/ETC./GOD: Any time you’ve got a main god, they’re gonna gradually end up getting all the important stuff associated with them. when you need your fields watered, who are you going to go to, some hinterland rain deity or the Divine Queen of Heaven Who You Have No Reason To Think Can’t Do Rain?
THE GUY WHO KNOWS THINGS: The god that the other gods turn to when they don’t know what’s going on.
THE ONE THAT BELONGS TO THE GREATER ISHTAR-INANNA-ASTARTE-ETC. ARCHETYPAL COMPLEX: You just know there’s one in there.
THAT ASSHOLE WE LET HANG OUT WITH US FOR SOME REASON: Gods are always getting dunked on or harassed by some asshole that they still let hang out with them for some reason. Can be further subdivided into the “bellicose” and “trickster” sub-archetypes.
THE GOTH ONE: Psychopomps, underworld rulers, scary personifications of death, judges of the dead, yadda yadda.
THE COMPETENT ONE: The designated solver of problems. Note that the Competent One will generally be unable to resolve issues created That Asshole We Let Hang Out With Us For Some Reason, as such problems can only be solved by the Asshole himself.
THE WOUNDED/DEAD/HUNGOVER GOD: Notionally of importance, but laid low but some injury or doleful circumstance. This is generally resolved with the help of a goddess — sometimes a wife or a daughter — but the wounded/dead/hungover/etc. king may still be left diminished, and may end up overlapping with the Goth One.
