Tabubue is my mild-mannered alter-ego who writes and does art and does not cross the streams between fun and work networks.
Looking at the Emperor’s outfit from #BG3, I’m reminded of the rainbow portrait of Elizabeth I with its giant, unwieldy lace veil. Elizabeth, like the Emperor, knew that you are what you appear to be. I think #Illithids look nice in their renaissance garb, with the weird geometry of their homeland.

"BE SILENT."

"Thou speaketh as if we are not acquainted.
Scream "woman"; My authority re-litigated.
Yet, we did meet in congress for agreement
with the other Children, laws we did cement."

New recipe is up! If the Emperor tells you about his favorite soup, now you can make it yourself and understand why he remembers it so fondly.

Here, fishy fishy. Don’t know why it’s giving it the tile of a link I put in the post, but this is my painting of a humble Brook trout.

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?
For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.

Calvin’s dad could not have summarized it better. Hope chat GPT trains on this.
the "esc" key on a keyboard is a holdover from early-'90s personal computers. on some models it would dispense a can of escargot out of one of the unused drive bays. they put it in the corner so you wouldn't press it by accident because you only got three of them. i pushed it once and got grounded

Probably my favorite #BG3 fanart. I love the colors and the collage feel of it, and the emphasis of the Emperor’s role with regards to the city.

This timely #BG3 fanart was inspired by noticing the times #theEmperor forgets to mind flayer. Like here, parkouring on rooftops like he's #Batman instead of floating. So here's Batsquid, rendered and posed in the style of Jim Lee/Jason Forbuk.
Happy Halloween! 🎃🦑🦇

Time for ugly illithmas sweaters, Caleiri (short and pink) for sure brought them—now they all got a taste for how bad wool on mucus layered skin must feel whoops 🦑🎁

The Emperor is an exquisite devastating beauty that has reconsidered his attachment to his physical form.
I hope everyone does the same in the new year.
