I was just remembering a D&D campaign I played a few years ago. I was playing a sneaky rogue. At one point before leaving on a quest, during some down-time, I’d had her pay a baker to make some bread chock-full of deadly nightshade berries. In the following quest, we were supposed to rescue this princess chick who’d been kidnapped by some evil sorcerer or something. And she was so fucking annoying, complaining about how slowly we’d been rescuing her, acting really shifty whenever we asked her any questions, making weird sexual promises to the Paladin, and whining about being hungry. So I offered her a chunk of my bread.
DM, who obviously had plans for this character: Is this the deadly nightshade bread? Yeah, she’s not gonna eat that.
Me: Why not? She said she was starving.
DM: Is that enough to kill her?
Me: I dunno. I think I read it takes 3 berries to kill a toddler. That chunk probably has, like, 20. If it doesn’t kill her, she’ll get terrible digestive issues, hallucinate like crazy, maybe convulse, and probably wish she was dead.
DM: Wouldn’t she taste something funny?
Me: Nope, the berries are supposedly pretty delicious.
DM: Well… she… she’s suspicious about why you’re giving it to her.
Me: Why the fuck is she suspicious? I’m rescuing her, and she said she’s hungry. I’m being nice. And she’s being rude.
DM: W-well… Paladin, aren’t you going to warn her about the nightshade?
Paladin: I wasn’t there when she paid the baker. I think it’s just bread.
Sorcerer: None of us knew. And she has no reason not to eat it.
DM *getting frustrated now*: Okay, fine! She takes it and… there’s a loud bang from further back in the cave, and she gets startled and drops it.
Me: What the hell. Here I am rescuing you, I give you my bread, and you insult me like this?
DM *playing as the princess*: Oh, uh, tee-hee? Sorry?
Me: Well don’t worry, princess. Of course I didn’t give you the whole loaf. Here, have another slice.
DM: She’s not hungry anymore.
Ranger: Bullshit. Eat up, princess.
DM: SUDDENLY THE EVIL SORCERER IS HERE, NO TIME FOR BREAD.
who else comin to terms with the possibility that they will never form a meaningful emotional connection with someone on a romantic level smash that like
I totally understand the appeal of pettiness, snark, and the pleasure of revenge. But seriously, where’s the satisfaction if someone hasn’t actually wronged you? Meanness is only fun if they’ve got it coming.
This shit is seriously guys . Me and my friend got caught with $800 worth of shit at Macy and they called the cops and they arrested us . Idk what to do guys they gave us a court date and idk what’s gonna happen . I just been going through a lot of shit and I don’t think I should lift anymore but it’s an addiction and I’m already itching for more stuff . I don’t know what to do . If you’ve been through a similar situation hmu because I’ve been going out my mind for the last week 😞
a man: hm. see I wouldn’t have phrased it exactly like that. I might have said “hello” or perhaps “salutations.” but the way you said it is cute though.
You are aware this is just as sexist as the things people say about women, correct?
a woman: you ever notice men speak to women like we are beneath them and constantly police our language and appearance?
a man: hm. i know you, poor thing, are blissfully unaware of the difficulty that text posts put us (men, or “males,” depending on the colloquial) through. let me explain in the follow paragraph how we can effectively ignore institutionalized and global sexism because this post personally called me, a man, out for my degrading behavior. see, this sort of witty and harmless observation is sexist,
Every artist who sees this post should do the following:
- Watch the video.
- Follow the instructions
- Reblog
I can’t stress you enough about how important these exercises are for your drawing hand. You don’t wanna get CTS of Tendonitis and similar stuff that will prevent you from making art or even hold a pencil.
Okay, this guy is my HERO. I just did these exercises as I watched the video, and already my arms and hands feel better. I have a degenerative tendon disease that prevents my muscles, tendons and ligaments from retaining their elasticity, and so anything that maintains the health of my bendy parts is important.
I URGE YOU. Even if you don’t draw, do these several times a day. Even just sitting at a computer can do serious damage. My dad, who was a rugby player, a carpenter, and now a handyman, suffered from severe carpal tunnel syndrome, simply as a result of sitting at the computer at the end of the day to play a little solitaire. Don’t let it happen to you!
((Guys, I will reblog this like, 5 times a day just so you all will see this. This is REALLY helpful, and it’s quick and easy.))
Wow, these are REALLY helpful. And yes, this is not just good but IMPORTANT for more than artists — if you type a lot, play a lot of video games, do anything that requires lots of repetitive movements of your hands, wrists, and arms (gardening, sewing, factory work), these can help. Even if you don’t yet get pain these are a great preventative measure, because the damage builds up over time. Youth is no protection.
And like he says, you should feel a stretch, but don’t push it too far!
Signal boosting. Guys, I just did this and holy cow do I feel incredibly light and limber in my arms. Again, even if you don’t have any sort of disease, do this as a preventative measure.
Tbh even if Keith pilots the black lion, Lance is undoubtedly going to be his right hand man and will be there to advise him on decesion making, formulating plans, impulse control, cover his ass for pissing off any aliens with his hotheadedness, challenging his logic, and moral support
Lance is way too much of a leader in his own right to let Keith make dumb mistakes
