Nic sketches from a while ago- left is some nobility attire from when his public face recovers from alcoholism and right is just a quiet night drinking at the theater.

The demon lord has conquered the land, and five heroes have been summoned to depose him. The heroes journey towards the demon lord–to discover that he’s built a thriving economy, public healthcare, and the land is more prosperous than it has ever been.

It was a clerk outside the capital that explained it to them. They had decided to capture her because her tiny horns bespoke a touch of infernal blood, so she had to be carrying something important, right? Turned out to be crop records of all things. She had been absolutely indignant when one of the heroes had tossed a ledger aside, snatching it up and brushing dirt from the pages. “Idiots! Crop records are important! They show weather patterns, predict tax income, give figures for where and what relief is needed when things change for the worse. That’s the problem with you muscle bound types, you don’t understand how things -work-.”

Mirae tried to smile, the young woman was pretty if you ignored the horns and golden eyes. “Well, why don’t you explain it to us? Why does a demon lord care about disaster relief and taxes?”

The clerk gave Mirae a skeptical look, then looked at the drawn swords of two of the other heroes and turned back to Mirae as the best of a bad lot. “Because Hell runs on the souls of the damned, and people can only be damned if they choose to be evil.”

Mirae frowned, “But if people are hungry, they’ll steal to feed their families.” 

The clerk nodded, “But that’s desperation, it’s not evil.” Mirae frowned more in frustration, “He should be making it illegal to go to temples, or ban healers to force people to break the law.” The clerk sighed, “Once again, desperation, not evil. Turning to prostitution to feed your kids isn’t evil. Lying to avoid execution isn’t evil. Working holy-days, eating forbidden food, breaking laws to save lives Is. Not. Evil. Evil has to be a choice. An uncoerced choice to do unnecessary harm. Oh sure, under the old system we got the souls of a few nobles who enjoyed being at the top and hurting people. But NOW?”

The clerk grins, and the grin seemed to have a few too many teeth. “Now people have a CHOICE. They choose to torment their neighbors, or to steal from taxes that would feed the poor, or to attack those who are weaker. Not out of hunger or desperation but out of their own pride… “Before we fed on a few nobles a year… now we get plenty of ordinary people as well.

“And now… we get heroes.”

I would read this if it was a book/fic

Sketches of the Riegan kids! Cillian & Eibhlin (Avelin)! Eibhlin is a cleric of Vitaliel and Cillian returns to the church to serve Zerachiel has his family once did in the past.

While they share a father, they had different mothers which caused a bunch of family drama. Everyone lost when Cillian’s sickly mother hired mercenaries to kill her husband and his mistress and she ended up passing herself.

I’m sure everyone is sick of seeing political posts, this isn’t political, it’s a humanitarian crisis! And it’s not only happening “somewhere else” anymore!

Armenians are being attacked in the streets of my country!!Why is there not national outrage, or a movement rising up?? Where is anyone outside of the Armenian population screaming for equality? A genocide is literally taking place RIGHT NOW but you all would rather get upset and put your energy into candidates who are literally doing nothing of substance to help this situation while schools, hospitals and civilian homes are destroyed.

In 1915 no one cared about Armenia either, they watched as these same instigators marched women, children and elderly out into the desert with the sole intention of none of them making it back home, this is after murdering the men and those strong enough to fight back in front of their families. The term genocide was coined solely because of this tragedy! An entire culture almost wiped from the planet, and people still say we are overreacting!

Don’t allow this to happen again, don’t be someone who sits back as an entire country and culture are facing the threat of a SECOND GENOCIDE!!!! Please, wake up, do something, spread the news, because it could be me or my family being targeted tomorrow.

the term genocide was coined after the mass ethnic cleansing of armenians by the ottoman empire in 1915. think about that for a second.

i say this as the descendant of two holocaust survivors: it is vital to remember now that hitler rationalized the holocaust because no one cared about the armenian genocide, either. for once in history, pay collective attention before a mass tragedy occurs. (again. and again and again.)

Morocco is one of the coldest countries in Africa (probably second to Lesotho). Ouarzazate has some of the coldest nights on average and Ifrane is recorded to have had the coldest temperature in African history, reaching -23,9 C/-11 F on February 11, 1935.

I take pride in this.

Shoutout to Lesotho, South Africa, Ethiopia, Algeria and Kenya for representing African Alpine culture.

African Alpine culture produces the best wool cloaks, so it’s definitely a thing.

My interest in the idea of queer villains–as a queer person–has gone beyond the notion of ‘a lot of villains were queer-coded in my childhood and so I found myself instinctively connecting with them’ and is now fully ‘are you tired of being nice? Don’t you just want to go apeshit?? Don’t you just want to watch the world burn a little bit in your favor???’
