It's why he doesn't really bother much when people find out he's a bloodsucker. At that point, they already know too much about him and that's way too personal, like!

We gotta have our sluice pipes! That's where we keep our best sluice-juices!

That's what he says all the time! He still gets lumped together with the elves!

He doesn't even particularly like being called a vampyr either, but he's gotta settle with something, or this problem's gonna keep cropping up!

There's no pipes?! This needs to be fixed! How am I supposed to run ridiculous pipe puzzle RP events without my TUBES?!!!

Oh! That's because I fixed his nose here! It was really flat against his face before which broke the angle! <3

You will have your meat shop! I am dedicated to helping my friends realise their housing dreams!

(living vicariously through my pals' personal projects because I got none of my own!)

It's also possible that a lot of those meat related assets are lumped together with other items and aren't being labled as such as a result! I swear I've seen things like dinosaur legs and meat hooks in older screenshots!

(He hates being called a 'San'layn, but not for any particular reason beyond 'It's a bit fancy, ain't it?)

Interviewing San'layn about what they miss most:

Prince Ra'zel the Redeemed: "The warm embrace in a lover's arms"

Blood Matyr Sanguinella: "The hunger for magic was far less intense... I almost miss it!"

Gazrik: "... Lobster Rolls."

Praise be to he!

Kevin, the Wickmaster!!!

I'm taking my powers as an egregious homebrewer to decide once and for all!!!

The first Kevin was a kobold.

Goblin origin is a total mystery! Gnomes, humans and dwarves descend from titan constructs!

Goblin lore is very decidedly vague and gets changed around a lot when it is out there!

WAIT, I have a draenei named Davir!

So Green Dave, Lanky Dave, Holy Dave and Dave the Ancient.

We just need an orc and then we got Dave the Barbarian and can clear deadmines.

A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

So what you're saying is that there could be a party that entirely consists of Green-Dave, Lanky Dave and Dave the Ancient

Ohh okay, this is why I don't take extended breaks between comic pages. I want to redraw the ENTIRE thing.

M-Maybe :>

I still giggle at "Monte" Gazlowe. Our Monty boy~

And Jastor kinda sounding a lot like the name Jasper, maybe that's like the goblin equivalent!

I main goblins and trolls and I still have no idea what's canon in that regard!

But yes, omg, this all works out beautifully! We now have the origin of TONY! and it is rich with history!

Oh! Henlo!!! <3

It would look stunning on you though. She's not using it anymore!!!

Yeah! I love that exchange! I am here wondering if the exchange of the name "Johnny" comes from humans or from goblins originally!

The exchange makes total sense, given the long history of trading and I think it's frankly lovely!

Frank! That's another one!!!!

(I won't, but it's something I've thought about more than once)

I think goblins with regular human names are honestly very funny and charming and making me wonder ifI should have it be that "Gazrik" is actually short for "Gareth-Richard"
