Has anyone used NOCD? I'm looking for more specialized care, and I keep hearing about this one... but I wanna make sure that it won't be a waste/scam, as I've had that issue MANY TIMES when looking for mental health care...

Ngl, anytime I see your JoR or Richard Rider art, I just wanna chew on it. I see it and I'm like:
A three-panel comic of someone gasping for air as they draw an image. The drawing is shown to be an OTP kissing. The comic ends with the artist putting the art in their mouth with a "nom", tears of joy streaming down their cheeks.

Friar Tuck aided Robin Hood, helped his community, AND beat up the Sheriff of Nottingham! 🙌 Like a good man of the cloth.
Friar Tuck has punk credentials because he's the only Disney character to have been arrested for beating up a cop.

I was already looking to replace it, and at this point I'm just done. Bye-bye to Spotify! 👋 Can't afford it anymore, and I'd wanna give money directly to artists, anyways.

2. After Shadowheart frees her parents, aka season 197438 to love Jaheira (played by @tracywiles.bsky.social)

Pain is unavoidable in life, seeing storylines that lean into that but also showing how pain is in good partnership with joy like a breath of fresh air. Well done, BG3 writers!
Jaheira: Shar believes us so fearful of pain that we would empty our lives of all other feeling just to escape it. Jaheira: I will admit a petty sort of pleasure in watching Shadowheart make the goddess look like a lackwit.

I have to give credit to BG3 for having these characters say things that resonate SO STRONGLY with me. I've taken thousands of screenshots, so I figured I would start to share some! #BG3

1. Halsin (played by @davejones.actor) upon reaching Baldur's Gate
Halsin: Still, though... this place crawls with life, but little of it flourishes. I see refugees... unhoused. The destitute, unwanted. Orphans, unloved. Halsin: The city is like a forest with an overgrown canopy. Light and nourishment cannot penetrate to those who need it the most... Halsin: ... and still, it draws them in. The safety of numbers. The promise of civilization. The dream of better. Halsin: I wish... I wish there was a better way. I wish everyone could see the Sun, have a full belly, and know nature as a friend. There is a balance that is yet to be found.

Not gonna lie, knowing I've got these on Patreon and that they'll be public soon has me really excited!! This has been so fun and rewarding to do, a bit of a dream come true! 🥰 I just hope to provide entertainment to folks, promote good games, and get to make the kind of content that I enjoy.

Guess who's editing their first Let's Play video? :D Starting another Dark Urge BG3 save file, a journey I'll share with everyone!

Tune in to see my newest Bhaalspawn, a Tiefling named Spiller! I'll give updates here & on Patreon, and they should be available on my YT channel as well!

The top of a Patreon post that reads: "Hello & howdy, everyone! We're getting to the end of the month, so I figured I'd tell y'all about some media l've consumed over the last month or so! I used to make these lists fairly often, and I'd love to do it again. :) PODCASTS/CHANNELS: Belief It Or Not - this is an edutainment-style podcast about conservative religious and political concerns. He's an AroAce Canadian content creator who l've enjoyed both the podcasts and his YouTube videos, which are the same as the podcast episodes but with physical footage to match. A fairly digestible & approachable way to take in current events.

Watching @goeticcoquetries.bsky.social play "Sorry We're Closed" by @alamodegames.bsky.social - it's SO GOOD!!! If you like queer abstract horror, I HIGHLY recommend it.

I've already started a NEW Dark Urge file... this time I'm playing the character very differently, and I have a polyamory mod so I can romance everyone at once.

This transmasc Seladrine Drow Paladin is gettin' SO MUCH LOVE.

Y'all. If you haven't played "Potion Permit", I HIGHLY recommend you check it out! It's such a cute, cozy game. 🌱🌳 Living the dream of mixing potions with natural ingredients and providing free healthcare to a small cozy town!

IT HAS GOOD D.I.D. REPRESENTATION!! I love Dan & Dev so much. 😭
The loading page for Potion Permit, pixel art of a potion bottle-shaped home with a sheepdog sitting in front of it. The sky is blue and the trees / grass are vibrant green. It looks maybe vaguely Ghibli inspired.

Live as half god, half man; half dead, half alive. One foot in the pleasures of flesh, the other sinking in the River Styx. Hail Dionysus; father of indulgence and mother of madness. 🍇🍷🎭🐆

An edited collage of Dionysian imagery and aesthetic symbolism, including: grapes, snakes, wine, pinecones, grapevines, leopards, theater masks/curtain, Dionysian statues/art, and quotes about Dionysus. The quotes are: "God of wine, gender fluidity, insanity, religious ecstasy, revelry, and theatre." "God of feat, wine, and pleasure."

A black background with small white stars. In the center there is a light blue rectangle with a thin pink border. There's black text that reads: #WIPSnips a Bluesky Writing Community Tag August 4th: Positive “Is that the best greeting I’m going to get, Mr. Gold? Hardly the gentleman’s welcome,” her voice was always so smooth on the ears, especially when she was playing into this act of hers. “Yes. Besides, Běla, you have a damn key,” I couldn’t help the smirk that crossed my face before I leaned back in my chair.

#WIPSnips - Apologize 🔍 Take your classic Detective and Femme Fatale, but make them AroAce. I'm having way too much fun writing these two.

“Besides, I was tryn’a make a point, here.” “Oh sorry, sorry detective. Get back to your little conundrum,” she scrunched her face together at her nose, giving the energy of a tricksy fae… she sure was dangerous enough. “I get what motivates ya; you’re ambitious, you want to get yourself a cozy life someday, but not before you have some real fun. And fun for you is trouble… Thankfully, with trouble being my business, it means that we’ve crossed paths a lot. Besides all the failed backstabbings and shootouts we’ve been through, you’ve never tried to ruin me. I mean…” She really could ruin me, if she wanted. Now that was an incredibly uncomfortable thought.
