felix grabs lunch

Melliwyk, a gnome wizard, looks at a phone with a fond smile. There's a screenshot of a text conversation between her and Felix, labeled in her phone with just a cat emoji.

Felix: [photo of a bird in a brown paper bag, overlaid with text that reads "mcdonalds keeps getting my order wrong [facepalm emoji] gave me a wet bird AGAIN"]
Mel: try looking less like a bedraggled alley cat
Mel: you're lucky it wasn't cartoon fish bones
Felix: [skull emoji]

Inset text box at the upper left corner reads "LATER". Melliwyk sits in an armchair in her study, reading a book. She's glancing up with an eyebrow raised, saying "Oh, you're b-- Why do you still have that?"

Felix, a gnome, stands in the doorway of the study, pushing it open with an elbow. In one arm he's holding a drink carrier with two McDonald's flurries; in the other, he's cradling a bird against his chest, partially nestled into a scarf. He's looking into the room with a bemused expression and saying "Did you think I was actually going to eat it?"

recently started a new dnd campaign so I had to draw all our little guys about it (I love them your honor)

left to right: indigo, gnome pirate; debello, water genasi bard; everett, human(??) warlock; tooth, shifter warlock; cassa, dragonborn barbarian (and fellow pirate!); and our NPC, the guide

height chart showing each character standing up side-by-side in a line, wearing only modesty shorts to also show their physical build. indigo is 3'3", debello is 5'3", everett is 5'10", tooth is 6'6", cassa is 6'3", and the guide, a humanoid figure with birdlike features, is 5'7"

America in two months will be a crumbling hellscape. America in two years will be utterly unrecognizable. This rhetoric has to stop. This is what the brink looks like. I'm not being sensationalist. Trump/Musk's vision of a "saved" America will fundamentally shatter it.

Everything is fucking grim. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if they're just baiting out mass protests so they can swoop in and escalate. What do you even do now? There's no Magical Adult Who Will Suddenly Do The Right Thing Because Of Honor and Integrity. Scream into the void I guess!
