"I'm just saying," the first witch said. "A cat familiar is more traditional."

"Or a raven," the second witch said. "Where did she even get a dragon from, anyway?"

"She tamed it. In her last job," the third witch said.

"What job was that?"

"Princess."

"Oh. Well. No wonder she changed careers."

Here's another fun mech I painted up for use with Battletech and other mecha games. Behold! The Urbdaddy!

That Urbie never skipped arm and leg day.

I do this also. Dad and I share hobby pics back and forth. My dad is great at taking his wip pics and I forgot to take wip pics 95% of the time.

Imagine the AUDACITY of someone WORKING while TRANS 😱

(Please ignore the typos lol) :)

In order to offset the energy costs and heat dissipation requirements of the turbolaser. The solar panels has to be redesigned.

Rebel pilots commented that the Bow-Tie looks like a weird piece of clothing that is worn as part of formal wear on some worlds. One Imperial Ace said it is “cool”.

Initial attempt at a Bow-Tie:
In an attempt at countering the heavier Rebellion fighters, Sienar Fleet System developed the Bombardment Optimized Weapon Tie Fighter (Bow-Tie).

The Bow-Tie carries a single miniaturized turbo-laser instead of the standard pair of lasers. (1/2)

Brown University is ‘functionally inaccessible’ to transgender students after Trump settlement “Everyone I talked to thought it only applied to sports. But it applies to everything," one transgender student told The Advocate.

The Trump administration effectively created a de facto bathroom ban at Brown University and none of the major media is covering it, and if they do, they character it as about sports. This is how the trans visa ban was enacted and characterized.

I’ve been stuck to ordering online. It’s mainly citadel paints that are available in my area.

[quoting a tweet by fractalcounty that reads, “today I learned that there are actual people irl who get genuinely upset if they catch you using chatgpt. like they view it as a serious moral failing in certain circles”]

If you're using AI to write essays, eulogies, a text to your wife, I do think less of you as a person. Ceding your mental and creative abilities to a machine is an embarrassing thing and people should be ashamed to admit doing it in public.

Nice cockpit details!

It almost looks like a baby thunderbolt

A miniature King Crab, painted in Star League colors, firing its cannon while being swarmed by battle armored troopers.

I'm working on setting up more dynamic compositions. This King Crab surprised me though: the lighting was suboptimal, I was shooting without a tripod, very slapdash to experiment. And what I got was actually really good?

When the Secretary of Health and Human Services is declaring that suffering chronic illness is your own fault, every day a chronically ill person survives is an act of defiance. Existence truly is resistance. Keep existing. If you can't do anything more, that's okay. Just exist.

The (Star Trek themed) vibe I bring to the party:

I present a pic of my parents’ pup doing his best Sphinx impersonation for morale support.

My brain and long eyelashes love to tag team mess with me

No matter how you feel about nsfw, at all, you need to be fully against censorship. There are no half-measures here

"Oh it's okay for this but not that"

They shouldn't be able to censor art. Censorship always should be under the discretion of the individual artist making the art, never a 3rd party

@catalystgamelabs.bsky.social give us the ruralmech you cowards! We have the urbanmech, the IIC, and the suburbanmech, the community demands ruralmech!!

So seeing Ozzy sing and tour, helped to combat the negative things said about how I speak. It encouraged me to pursue things that I wanted and not limit myself.

(Wasn’t planning to make this a thread, will try to add those handle thread page notations x/z in the future)

As someone with speech issues (I’ve been diagnosed with stuttering and cluttering), it was cool seeing someone with speech issues rock out on stage.

At a young age, I was told that my speaking difficulties would possibly limit my future and given unhelpful advice to “cut it out” or “turn it off”.

My first concert was a Black Sabbath concert when one of their reunion tours had a show near my hometown. My parents gifted me tickets as a birthday gift. It was a pleasant surprise, I was a high schooler and definitely didn’t have enough money to buy tickets on my own (shakes fist at Ticketmaster).

A company of mechs (3 lances of 4 mechs per lance) that will be painted in the colors of the Lyran Guards. Force Composition going from back to forward: Heavy Striker/Cavalry or Ranger Lance FLS-8K CRD-2R (Represented by a jumping Crusader even though the CRD-2R has no jump jets) OSR-2C CRS-6B (Cosplayed by a Clan Crossbow Omni-mech) Battle Lance (a very basic battle lance… lol) CRD-2R GLT-3N BNC-3E SHD-2H Command Lance PHX-1 WHM-6R TDR-5S (Company Commander’s Mech) AWS-8Q

Building a Lyran Commonwealth force for a campaign. Even though the forces are supposed to be a mix of Donegal 7th and The Stealths, I’m painting them as Lyran Guards (I already have Blue/Gray mechs in the colors of the Hansen’s Roughriders and not sure I can capture The Stealths look).

#battletech

every year. EVERY year my editor sends me requests to paint him BattleTech models in '80s cartoon or game schemes that make me go "this will not translate at all, how in the hell is this supposed to look good?"

and then I paint them and they look awesome.

what the fuck, man.
