When you load a morrowind save from months ago and have to figure out why you're at a shrine surrounded by dead bodies.
A screenshot from Morrowind; Assernerairan, a shrine below St. Olms canton in Vivec. Dead bodies are the floor.

I used to be so cool, I don't know what happened.
Me young, in a mostly green aloha shirt with red parrots. My smile is slightly smirking, hair is dark brown, I'm very white, background is cloudy purple. Baller school photo.

Me at the opera house in San Francisco in the 90s. Real Baratheon vibes here. I miss having long hair! Working on it, but the in-between stage is rough. Using lots of oil to keep it in check.
Rosy-cheeked and fair-skinned smiling boy in a dark green polo, buttoned to the top. His hair is black, long in the back, with bangs that end above his eyebrows. The photo is cropped for the privacy of others, and was taken at an opera house in San Francisco in the 90s.

@nohr.se said this was a good idea to post
Indoor selfie of a moustachioed man in gym shorts and a tshirt. The shirt is blue, says "CUNT" at the bottom in all caps, and a couple of crudely illustrated clouds above with a sun wearing sunglasses. The shirt was a result of a jackbox game.

Saw this map recently and thought "might make for the start of a good cyberpunk map". I also like the idea that the borders here don't need to be adjusted to fit the coast; the megacites of circa 2XXX extend as a tight swarm of houseboats connected by walkways, sometimes for hundreds of miles.

Worth, Houston, Chicago, Indianapolis, Memphis, Cleveland, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Miami, Washington, New York, and Boston. The borders do not conform to state lines and extend into the ocean somewhat.

"Angerangered", dwarven mountainhome. Pigma micron 03 (black) and pilot g2 05 (light blue) pens.
A map of a dwarven mountainhome whose name translates to "Angerangered". It is built into a mountainside, carved out of solid rock. The fortress' entrance features its trade depot and bazaar; administrative buildings block entrance to the bulk of the mountainhome, but a foreign quarter is easily accessible to guests. Notable features include an open mineshaft, a grand hall of honors which functions as a museum, and a masters' hall where prominent craftsdwarves do their work in one communal space.

Still alive, just exhausted. Working on this little town today felt very healing.
A small but dense walled town in the game Tiny Glade. Autumnal.

And just discovered you can walk around in it! I'm astounded I only just discovered this game. Gonna make some towns when I get the full version.
A ground level view from inside the bailey; a guest house, manor/keep, and a four-story tower. Lots of flowers.

Didn't get much writing done today, but I did poke around in the Tiny Glade demo. 😊
A screenshot of a cosy keep with bailey and tower atop a mesa from the game Tiny Glade. Flower bushes surround the tower and a peaceful forest extends beyond the foot of the tiny mesa.

Boyfriend brought me some of this Maui BBQ curry spice back from his Hawaii trip, and it's amazing on eggs.
Bacon and egg breakfast, eggs fried sunny side up and seasoned with Maui BBQ Curry spice mix.

I can't get over how much I love this. "Deplorable Death of Savoisy" by Gustave Doré.
A man is victim of a street ambush, having been shot with countless arrows. He falls back against a wall and tries to draw his sword in a last and useless attempt to defend himself. Above him, another man in a soldier’s or guard’s outfit leans out of a window and pierces him with a pike. Two people are witnessing the scene from the streetside window of a turret half-covered by shadow. This picture is an illustration for the story, “The High Constable’s Wife” from Droll Stories. The victim of the ambush is the character named Savoisy, son of the chamberlain to King Charles VI. The woman watching the scene from the turret window is High Constable of Armagnac’s wife. The caption reads in the original French: "Ah! feit la comtesse en blanchissant de terreur, Savoisy meurt pour moy!"
