Dont give up

my ongoing problem (beneath the rage, of course) is that i don't know who actually wants this for any use case outside of, y'know, porn. and even if someone DID want to very earnestly, idk, defeat a villain with spiderman, wouldn't the novelty of it evaporate almost immediately? am i a dinosaur!??

And tadaaaa, i made them kiss (i love artist power) #Rommath #Umbric #Rombric #kiss #Midnight | #Zoriaah

the phrase "do it scared" has done so much for my mental health i cannot stress how lifechanging it is to realize: if you are scared of doing something (especially if it can be beneficial to you), you cannot wait for yourself to not be scared. it will always seem scary. you have to do it scared

It's important to remember that, yes, sometimes good things still happen. www.dailymail.com/news/article...

my daughter calls this phenomenon a “mouth story” because we make it up instead of reading it from a book. she is delighted by even a shred of effort on this front. I promise you too could make up a quick story about helicopters for a 6 year old if you tried for ten seconds

have not drawn anything in months but i can't stop thinking about this man with the emotional stability of a jenga tower #rommath #warcraft

This is one of the best pieces of pop culture writing I've read in the past couple of years. These excerpts are great but you need to read how the build to that last one. Goddamn. Thank you @awalrusdarkly.bsky.social and @popheist.com

Area warlord fails to understand what the number one killer of soldiers has been in history

this is specifically for anxiety and self-doubt in professional settings, but develop a persona for yourself that acts like your "agent" in situations where you're pitching, negotiating, etc. -- someone who is not you but has your best interests in mind and can advocate for your work!

An unexpected kiss 🖤

The Diamond’s Gambit has a new preview! Progress is going slow because I gotta focus on my day job, but I thought it was time I revealed the work of Kedari’s voice actress; Lena de Jong @dawnglyph.bsky.social! She knocked it out of the park, I can’t wait to show you the finished film when it’s done!

[bold voice] I liked The Pitt season 2 more than season 1

We are born of the blood, made men by the blood, undone by the blood

the "absolutely not the succession theme" soundtrack on this is a fucking master stroke

Today’s toddler fit

if I send a crappy robot to meetings in my stead can I also still collect a paycheck, zuck

i'm doing the campaign very late, and at the risk of being yelled at very loudly by night elf players: this is quite the statement coming from the elves whose many large, special trees have been the source of conflict uhhhh. repeatedly throughout most of azeroth's history

"Ah, anguish still lingers on you." 🩸 #wow #midnight #astalor

Animal Crossing outfit of the day by my toddler

I no longer know the meaning of shame, so my very spicy Rommath/Astalor fic (which is actually Rommath/Umbric in disguise) is on Ao3 now lmao

My dad to the dog while making a snack, “I know you're excited, so am I. But there is no need to bark. I'm not barking. No one else here is barking”

A very astute (and upsetting!) piece that touches on four scary cultural trends: 1) The demand for spelled-out moral clarity in stories 2) A growing inability to understand different types of narratives 3) The "customer's always right" version of fandom 4) The growth of fandom as a social identity.

UK bacon is way better than american bacon

They're going after horror, we said this would happen

by this analogy, iran is our wife, and they have to obey us because we said so in a manly fashion

I had very lukewarm opinions on gambling before I came to Las Vegas but I’ve been here for three days and now I believe gambling is a deep festering wound in our souls that should be banned on moral grounds

congratulations to grand magister rommath for the most transparent "i have been hung up on my ex this whole time" display of behavior ever seen in quel'thalas

if they truly go ham with letting this be as hauntingly brutal as the book, it could be an all timer IMHO

no dude

This is so, so well-articulated.

there are altogether too many quotable paragraphs in this must-read article but i think i can restrain myself to just this one

It's this little gem and it's not up for debate

there are many already in the quotes and replies but i gotta shoutout the hurderer tweet

routinely having extremely cringe millennial parent thoughts like "i really hope my kids like Radiohead's Kid A"

my daughter saw some kids playing hockey at the park and now she will not stop talking about "hockey boys," and i'm vaguely paranoid someone is going to think she's talking about heated rivalry

i'm starving

I have such strong emotional thoughts on this topic, man. I genuinely thought I would never be "the type of gamer" who could play something like Dark Souls or Bloodborne. Imagine if I hadn't picked them up and had some of the most meaningful experiences of my life. Don't give up, skeleton!

ha ha ha ha! what could i possibly be up to! is this an astalor/rommath fic? yes, but also no

you had such a bad break up that you banned your ex and all his friends from your home city and now he’s back & he’s had a hot void make-over and you wanna smooch on him so so bad? god, that must be so embarrassing for you #worldofwarcraft • #WoW • #rommath • #umbric • #justkissalready

if you told me like two years ago that i'd get genuinely into a ship involving magister umbric, who has until this point done absolutely nothing for me, i'd laugh. i am so predictably easy to win over. just give a guy a complicated situationship and easily readable bisexual loneliness and i'm in

still the sickest shit i've ever seen. i have watched this approximately 800 times

I got like ten mosquito bites over the weekend. Could Astalor Bloodsworn relieve me of this agony, I wonder

Shoutouts to the Ace Attorney series yet again for having some of the most memorable, charming characters in the medium and nothing but a few great catch phrases to qualify as VO. Constraints are actually good if you embrace them

well. here's what happened,

i haven't been "brewing some fanfic"-level invested in canon WoW characters since thassarian and koltira, and here i am this morning going "i simply MUST cook up something spicy about rommath, umbric, and astalor"

Ten thousand Emmys for Noah Wyle’s “absolutely not on the verge of a breakdown” grimace-smile he’s flashed a few times in the last two Pitt episodes
