Give her an absurdly tall crown, like Charlotta from Granblue!

I considered switching to Lychee. I guess I'll be sticking with Voxel Dance

I don't tend to post things like this, but today the (formerly) most popular 3D print slicer decided to add Generative AI to their product. The reaction from the community they have grown over the years has been loud and clear. Not that it matters. Find a better slicer. ❤️

Been wanting to do Halloween stuff, like drawing my characters in costumes or something. But I'm struggling to get into the Halloween mood. I'm exposed too much to real horror to care about imagined horror.

Years later, you can look back on the thing with pride and accomplishment, hearing everyone's stories and seeing their enjoyment when they dig into what you helped make.

Today was filled with some of those first steps... for a lot of new things.

And although the road ahead is long.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

I'm allowed to post my characters, right? Sayuki and Roulette are always fun to play in #Pathfinder, and I find drawing them to be relaxing.

3. People with positions of power use it for psychological manipulation. The more you believe we're not a democracy, the more you unwittingly accept your lack of agency in how our government is run. It misleads you into becoming more receptive to authoritarianism.

2. It's wrong. The US is both a republic and a democracy, and democratic principles are a cornerstone of our nation. Forms of government are way too complicated and nuanced to fit neatly into little boxes.

1. It commits a fallacy of relevance in an insufferably arrogant way. Even assuming the statement were true, it distracts from and fails to address the actual topic at hand (concerns over rising authoritarianism, politicians working against the interests of their constituents, etc.)

I try not to speak of politics on this account, but I absolutely loathe the "we are a republic, not a democracy" rebuttal.

Seeing this magnitude of bizarre, undeserved contempt for one's fellow siblings of God never ceases to genuinely sicken me to the core.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Yes, they're a martial spellcaster necromancer. They steal essence from creatures to study and harness into their attacks and spells.

I wonder if I can finish the Reaver #Pathfinder2e class before Halloween...🤔

I know the pain. I literally had to pay someone to GM for me.

OK, that actually sounds adorable.
In before I make it canon in my Abomination Vaults that Wrin is secretly a kitsune nephilim with an elf tailless form.

Where's the remastered kitsune ancestry Paizo we need Wrin Sivixeni.

Rhetoric like this reminds me of my favorite scene from Voyage of the Dawn Treader, a slaver complaining “this will make a beggar out of me!” when the prince declares slavery illegal.

Thank you! I gotta give it to Kezia. I love her design.

Afraid I only know Rin. Your vgen doesn’t list OCs and your gallery is almost all commissions.

Made a tier list when assessing the silhouettes.

Aw, I loved Qoyla's design! Though, this one is amazing, too!

I decided to do a silhouette study of my abundance of fox-person characters, many of which are for #Pathfinder2e or #ttrpg Three of them belong to a friend but it felt wrong to leave them out.

Silhouettes of 18 fox-person characters
1st Row: Luos Lowe, Kita ASA, Seung Na-Ri, Kageko, Adam, Gyan
2nd Row: Kiku Kosan, Miko Kosan, Roulette Kosan, Sayuki Kosan, Kiyoko Kosan, Jess Kosan
