Oh, good: Discord's age verification rollout has ties to Palantir co-founder and panopticon architect Peter Thiel Discord is "experimenting" with an age authentication vendor whose major investors include Thiel's Founders Fund.

I was recently thinking how long it will take until I don't want to wear my #Discord merch anymore. Well...soon (tm).

THIS IS WHY I HAVE TRUST ISSUES!

Oh, of course..... Why can't we have anything nice without it eventually getting used to train systems that undermine individual liberties and burn a lake while doing so?

This is one of those pieces there one can just zoom in and get lost in the details. Love all the little highlights on the scales

Some day I'll learn to proof read before posting

I can't express is text how much I like Flawseer's depiction of WoF dragons and art style. I need a scream

Picture of Orca in front of a half-finished bust and holding a mallet. She is sweating, as if she had just physically exerted herself, and is dabbing her forehead with a rag or towel that she is holding with her wing. She says: "I don't know who told you I'm an animus. I'm very busy, so if you're just going to waste my time with unsubstantiated gossip, please remove yourself from my workshop." Picture of Orca in front of a coordinate system. It shows a figure of a dragon, two points in 3D space, a curve between them, and a hammer travelling along the curve. Orca explains: "Speaking hypothetically, I imagine it's a matter of precision. I would picture the object spatially and visualize its exact flight path. The point where it is, the point where it's going to be, and the vector in between. Then, as I see it moving through 3D space, reality mimics my design. And that is, in theory, how I would move an object with my mind. Now leave me to my work."

Picture of Turtle, looking sheepishly to the side while clasping his hands together in front of him. He says: "Well, I don't know what the CORRECT way to do it is. For me, I like to think of the thing I'm doing magic on as another being. And the magic is sort of like a language that allows me to talk to it." Picture of Turtle, holding his hand out as if explaining something. He says: "I don't know why it just does whatever I tell it to do. Maybe living like that is really lonely, so it is grateful whenever someone talks to it at all? Or maybe it really is just an inanimate object." He continues: "My way is probably a really stupid way to look at this. Like, 'Look, there goes Turtle who talks to rocks and spoons and all that. But if we can't know for certain, I think it makes sense to be polite, you know?"

Picture of Anemone with her arms stretched into the air and her mouth open as if yelling. She says: "I'm the Animus, so the magic has to do what I say! It's like a servant who can't keep tabs on me for mother's sake!" Picture of Anemone looking teasingly at Pike who is off to the side behind her. She is sticking her tongue out and says: "Kind of like Pikey! But more powerful and it doesn't screw up as often." Pike, who looks absolutely shocked, replies "Y-your highness! Please forgive my inadequacy!!"

Part of a concept for diversifying Animus magic, by giving the various magic users in the story different methods of accessing it.

It helps making magic feel more unique and personal to each dragon.

Part 1: Orca, Turtle, Anemone

A tired, annoyed microraptor demands coffee, prompting a response from an off-camera human; "Sit, then." This prompts an immediate "Fuck you" from the dinosaur.

TFW you're a dinosaur but they still make you have a job and now there's humiliating down talk (they have no idea how highly capable a microraptor hen with caffeine withdrawal can be at mauling).

Thank you! 🩵

Incredibly.
Thankfully I also have it on a local backup, but now there's the hassle of dusting off the Plex server

So, I wanted to watch the first HTTYD movie, but it seems that HBO deleted it to push the live action one.....

No te sientas presionado por estar produciendo arte, aveces hay que ponerse uno primero. Seguiremos estando aquí una vez que se solucione tu situación

Yay! Valk is done! Will post still shots later!

Just got that random urge to create™ that I get every ~two years. But I don't know what...

Happy ageing day! 🎉

Sometimes, a dragon has got to enjoy the sunshine and roll around in the fields 🔆

It's been a hot minute since the last time that I had my zebra up! After ~16 years it needs a bit of plasticizer
