What's this? A BG3 article on a gaming journalism website that isn't just a summary of yesterday's Reddit posts? Unpossible!

PC Gamer: I stayed at all 17 of Baldur's Gate 3's unique campsites and painstakingly rated the accommodations like some kind of Forgotten Realms bon vivant by Ted Litchfield

Would have been funnier if written in the style of Harrington Nethalin, but still a nice little resource for BG3 fanfic authors.

"Stop being funnier than me on my own post" is one of my favorite healthy tumblrisms, along with things like "hang on lemme look that up...yeah this is funny" and explicit tone indicators (positive). Like yeah let's build a world where we playfully format healthy interactions. You made a post and you wanted to be the star but damn, you've really gotta hand it to this other person for their really funny addition, so here's the internet equivalent of giving someone a friendly punch on the shoulder while making sure they know they got a good grade in social interaction

Stolen from @tinysweetvoid but i wanted to make it a bit more descriptive

eagle: so what do you think about stigmata

prometheus: you know we're in a pre-christian myth, right? like that word doesn't exist yet. your dumb joke is anachronistic.

eagle: stigma talons in your flesh

[ID: two replies.

melissonomos said "besides being a beautiful joke in its own right, this is a beautiful demonstration of a framing device that I think we see a lot on tumblr and twitter, where you have a pun that is fine but not great. and so you place it in like a little narrative frame that acknowledges it's not a sufficient joke on its own but elevates it to a perfect shitpost. shitpost as bad joke plus knowing narrative frame? shitpost as dad joke plus allusive wink?"

battybiologist said "Oh my god, the eagle expected him to answer 'stigmata?' and banked on stigmata not existing yet, but Prometheus' domain is foresight. It's such a clever fucking joke."

a sequence of Events. not crosby. not mcdavid. just one nhl player with no “reputation” and everything to lose.

You know what’s some crazy $hit?

This fabulous bitch

image

She makes a shit ton of poses (like 16,000 or some crazy nonsense).  I used this lovely lady to draw so much as a teen.  Whether it was some nerdy pose for my Mary Sue as fuck OCs

image

or for full on fight sequences

image

or for tragic deaths of my OCs in the arms of a totally OOC main protagonist.  

image

this bitch hooked me up.  

And with the wildest, craziest stuff that you could see in your head but had no way or resources to reasonably draw like

DUDE!  INASNE SHIT!!  So I was using her for a pose reference and decided, you know what, I owe this bitch some cash.  Lemme dole it out for her.  BUT then, I looked and saw she only has 286 fucking patrons!!  This chick gives out free shit and spends countless hours arranging these shoots and setting this stuff up.  

I’ll fork up the cash, SenshiStock.  You’re worth it.  

Check out this amazing woman’s stuff, and get knowledged:  https://www.deviantart.com/senshistock

I have been following her for years on deviantart.

Highly reccomend checking her out. She’s the best. If I had any money to throw I’d throw it at her for providing such a big help in my life.

This hero doesn’t wear capes, she instead wears (and looks utterly flawless) in tank tops(?)

Interrupting my regular Star Wars BS to reblog this because @senshistock is amazing and beyond worth the follow and support!  I first started using her refs gosh I want to say back in maybe 2008, and I’m happy to be a supporter of her over on Patreon.  If you’re an artist please go find her stuff on all the platforms, you will not regret it!

Yessss, she is so awesome! Been following her for years. My favorite stock artist is jademacalla, who is, incidentally, in the last two images above. He has a lot of great angles, costumes, gear, etc! I love his hands, too.

rb to save an artists life

Just so everyone knows, she recently stopped using the name SenshiStock and switched to AdorkaStock! All her links and socials have switched to that. Also she has a TikTok of her doing the poses live, which is stupid useful because you can pause it at any point in the pose for just the right reference.

Literally just used a Adorkastock reference the other night, god bless them

All of the Winx girls finally finished and available to order on my shop

"old friends" is an underrated relationship dynamic because it's such an innocent boring sounding term for what is usually some of the wildest shit imaginable. it's always like 'oh yeah we go way back, we have history' and then you find out that history includes sex, drugs, murder, divorce, war crimes and The Incident

Scholastic blinks

Via Cole Haddon on Twitter, who summarizes: “‘We did not anticipate authors and other reasonable people would take issue with our totally well-thought-out plans to segregate the stories of people of color and other marginalized groups away from the books that make cishet white people feel the world was made just for them.’"
