Maybe not irresistible exactly, but Kes does feel something for Jaheira. They uh. They about choked to death when Astarion jokingly invited her to join in sometime so I'm not sure they'd be up to acting on it. 😂 Might die of embarrassment.

I had a dream about this moth creature, so I wanted to try drawing him.
Beyond him, I don't remember anything else about the dream.

Chat with the oncologist went well I think. Sounds like even though stomach cancer usually has a lower treatment success rate, they still think our guy has a good outlook because he's already gotten back his appetite and gained weight before chemo even starts.

I scrolled up and down at random, closed my eyes and clicked on the NPC list from a BG3 wiki until I got someone I actually knew... and landed on Lucretious.
Kes can wildshape, gear or no gear. Lucretious is a necromancer. I think they're probably surviving it just fine.

old #tavqotd from twt: Your tav/durge wakes up in the jungles of Chult (dino island) with no gear and the most unexpected NPC next to them. Who is with them, and can they survive?

I have this feeling after my Durge run is done I am going to remake Kes and try to slow down and do more time thinking about story beats and roleplaying. I was so busy being a frantic little completionist the first time around. LOL

Our first remote consultation with veterinary oncology is tomorrow. Trying to slap my brain into something resembling calm enough to sleep but it's not easy right now.
Hoping my own health will hold long enough to go with my partner to the in-person appointment Wednesday.

Kes I think would be something soft and green and earthy like genmaicha.
Clive, I think, lapsang souchong. Deep and smoky (lol his poor toasted brain), a bit heavy, but warming.
Nobody asked but Astarion to me is jasmine tuocha. Finely aged, dark, and delicate.

This is a big part of why I founded the animal photo reference repository: because AI slop has made finding good, real references harder while promising using them doesn’t matter… I hope to see more efforts exist to curate and restore accurate references for all sorts of subjects and places.
Using ai for reference is one way to legitimise it but also will make you worse in time. If you care about the art you make you should care about what influences it and where your ideas come from. The world is massive with tens of thousands of years of art and culture and history you can learn about
PSA if you care about your support going to art that is influenced by AI

I just keep thinking “Elon Musk just got a trillion dollars”
New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.
I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:
