I'm running two campaigns in the same area. Its a delight!
A two panel image. In the top is a close up shot of two hands holding square papers with two different maps photoshopped onto the page. The left map is a whole continent, the right map is the same continent now split by an ocean. The text at the bottom of the panel reads "Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture." In the bottom panel is a shot of a brown haired woman in a pink cardigan with the caption "They're the same picture."

Anyways I hurt my shoulder and dislike most of the dog I drew. But please look at this wip of a very good girl that I drew for my little guy.

Double chocolate cookies with the texture of a brownie. I have notes to try and swap out. Maple sugar, flakey salt, maybe honey…

Fun thing about Val, his design and scripture actually make references to the "do you like the colour of the sky" post.

"For the approval he seeks as he begins,
Donning the colours of the sky
Taking on cloth bejeweled with her star-studded finery."

An elvish man with dark purple with a swirling pattern on his skin, white hair and green eyes. Wearing a wide brimmed hat, a multi-coloured scarf like the night sky with stars. Mud stains the bottom of his cloak and boots.

Bonus Val because I love his little hat. It contains so many secrets.
Character art of a man with a white curly afro, with two framing twists that are capped with a gold guiding star. Green eyes and dark purple skin with a swirling pattern, and a lambert piercing. He is wearing a scarf that is the colour of a start night sky, with a gold pin with the guiding star symbol.

I thank @toonestoons.bsky.social heavily for drawing the characters of their torment for #ParagonCampaign 😭

Sometimes, you walk into a family meeting if the gods and you get to witness some things most mortals don’t live to see…
An image divided into four horizontal sections. On the left is a dark blue, silver eyed, white haired elvish looking character dressed in shades of white with moon motifs. To the right of her is a greying, bearded elvish man with warm reddish brown skin wearing black robes with a red sash. To the right of him greying bearded genasi man with warm brown skin with a swirling pattern dressed in shades of black and grey with moon motifs. On the far right is dark purple with a swirling pattern on his skin, an elvish man with white hair and green eyes. Wearing a wide brimmed hat, a scarf coloured like the night sky with stars.

First animated crush without saying your age

He was the blueprint and mold for every blorbo and character I lock in on and I didn’t even realize it.
A purplish character, Goliath from gargoyle, with black hair and his arms crossed.

I got a jar opener grippie, two pens, a key chain flashlight, chip clips (x2), a small note pad, and a little baggie - I will be using it as a dice bag

I did adult things and all I got was an atm stress squeeze.

(this is false I got a whole goodie bag with things I genuinely find neat cause they’re actually useful.)

Was doing prep for stuff in my campaign, went to update some stuff I wrote for my deities, and I may have let the project get away with me in prep for an npc that only speaks in scripture... 🫣

Tho this only happened because someone inspired me to create scripture for them to quote. Its finnnnne.
Screencap of a list of files with word count Scripture of the Ash Lord 6,906 words Scripture of the Devoted Healer 6,848 words Scripture of the Halfling Harvest Maiden 6,852 words Scripture of the Moon Matron 13,617 words Scripture of the Young Moon Traveler 6,811 words

Its definitely annoying, but some good news is you can filter that out better in case you didn't know. Go to settings -> Refined Your Recommendations -> Gen AI Interests and then toggle everything off. It will at least help cut down on things.

Grown deer from the descriptions which is lines up with the eggs we can find and the art. (I love the just sheer size of baby dragons)

Also going back to my notes… I think that a nug could also take a newborn dragon. They’d be a foot shorter at the shoulder based on the average whitetail height.
Image of a young dragon standing next to a red headed, armored woman. It comes up to her hip at the shoulder. Below is also a size comparison of the woman next to a nest of eggs.

Lore wrangling is so deeply satisfying. I'm almost done with making a visual timeline for my dnd setting.
a flow chart on a dark grey background. It has nine columns with them occasionally branching off to other boxes. There is no readable text.

For 9.99 a month discord can remind you of the colours of the sky
A screenshot of the new discord custom theme with a gradient that goes from white at the top to dark purple at the bottom. The channel name reading "do-you-like-the-colour-of-the-sky"

Indexes tend to be overwhelming & hard to navigate for me. But since I had to make a timeline I found a fun solution! (I can also block it out of my graph view easier 😈) Doubling as a timeline and index feels like I hacked something lol

Probably should bed now. I'm at 44k words lol

Anjou will guilt you into proper nutrition aka "I worked so hard... could you eat at least two bites?"
An oc texting meme reading: Anjou Baskar A text box reading: You left your lunch at home. You better not be thinking of skipping lunch. I am not above guilting you over the work I put into it. A graph uses a yellow pear to signify she Types a lot and is average on response time. Frequently used emojis are a lip bite, a smiling face with pink hears, a grey fork and knife, a green pear, and a green heart. The boxes are checked in yellow for: Sends reaction gifs/stickers Overuses exclamation points!!!!! Overuses ellipses... Types in paragraphs Leaves voice memos Using yellow pears to mark on the spectrum that she types more like a senior citizen, uses emojis a lot, is more on the serious end of texting, and uses correct spelling & grammar more times than not.

I'm bringing this kind of energy to dnd and dragon age.
A man with brown hair wearing a light purple button up with black suspenders standing in front of a black wall with white papers on it lit with purple lighting. It is an image of Brian David Gilbert, from "Waluigi, Unravelled."
