what fictional creature/villain traumatized you as a kid
My answer... is sososo stupid. But I had nightmares about Count Chocula when I was little. 🤣
Now that I am an adult this baffles me because Lord Kuruku was RIGHT THERE and somehow did NOT scare me:

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers have just identified a powerful new antibiotic that is 100x STRONGER than existing drugs against deadly superbugs like MRSA and VRE. Hiding in a well-known soil bacterium, pre-methylenomycin C lactone KILLS drug-resistant bacteria WITHOUT triggering resistance.

For Kes it was myself. Very intentionally so.
For Clive... it uh... it's basically every food-motivated dog I've ever met. 🤣 Bhaal is going to be so disappointed in him.

Who or what was your biggest inspiration for your oc? Was it someone you know, a fictional character, yourself, or something else entirely?

There's a particular Hungarian mushroom soup my partner has adapted to our tastes that is fantastic when the season shifts to winter. I think Kes would like whatever version of that exists in Faerun.

Cozy food question!
What is your Tav's/Durge's favorite soup? :D

Resist Durge run is going fine and all but I miss my Tav.
I MIGHT have made my Durge too niceys. Not enough enrichment for my sarcastic lil gremlin brain. I might have to let him slide a lil to the dark side now and then to spice things up.

Meanwhile for some reason Barcus has decided to hang out near Astarion's tent instead of his usual camp spot over by Gale?
Which seems... unwise.

Sometimes I manage to hit the screenshot button just at the right time to get a great facial expression.
Other times, I get stoner Astarion.

With Kes and Astarion I think Shadowheart probably figured it out first and said nothing aside from some light teasing. Lae'zel likely knew but didn't care. I think Wyll probably figured it out before Gale and quietly disapproved. Gale was oblivious until he got drunk and complained at the party.
#TAVQOTD What was your companions' reaction to finding out your tav/durge was in love with their LI? How soon did they know? Did your tav/durge confess it to any of them before confessing to their LI? Give me the deets!

GOOD NEWS! A groundbreaking study in MORE THAN 1,000 people reveals that cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived dramatically LONGER than those who didn’t. In some cases, their survival rate was DOUBLED.

We’re running a poll on Tumblr and I’d like Bluesky input too!
If the site gets a random button, should it pull up: a) a random species page or b) a single random photo. Or c) would it be worth waiting a little longer to get both?
Newborn (still wet and goopy) capybara as photo tax.

Literally I live in a rural area and I think about this every time because several neighbors have "security lights" that run all night and are BRIGHT WHITE.
I should not need blackout curtains for other people's lights when I'm bordered by nothing but cornfields on 3 sides...

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"
guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
