Critical Role Campaign 4 episode 4 spoilers. A night time scene of Sir Julien Davinos mid-motion pointing his rapier forward and off-screen with tear stains down his face and blood splatter on his cheek. His expression is a mixture of anger and grief. The illustration is drawn to look like a screenshot from an animation. The dialogue caption reads, "Whatever you worship, I will send you to an oblivion where you can't even find that." Sir Julien belongs to Matt Mercer. Art drawn by me (Sasha / Corvidkusnos).

Sir Julien has me in a chokehold I fear

Y’all here is a fun fact: Portland has a brand new volunteer organization called “operation inflation” that allows people to borrow inflatable costumes for protests. They just started a couple weeks ago and have like a 160 costume library (and counting because people keep donating).

I haven't seen any of the stage musicals so I dunno but it's definitely possible 😞

Sailor Venus and her superhero identity being relevant and explored parts of her character and her relationship with Rei ahhhh ❤️

I had a lot of fun in my brain the other week imagining a complete rework of Sailor Moon for an older audience and also reminiscing about how good the writing on the Japan-only live action series is

I’ve decided I wanted to phase out my big 2” charms because I just like my tiny ones better and they’re easier to carry around to markets, so I’m doing a 🔥 FIRE SALE 🔥 and putting the rest of my stock up for $6/charm! Once they’re gone they’re gone!! haunteddollco.bigcartel.com

Meme from Parks and Recreation of Ron handing a paper to an officer and saying “Not to worry. I have a permit.” Followed by a closeup image of the paper being held by the officer, edited to read: “Every fictional character I’ve drawn and will draw having sex, has consented to being drawn that way. They told me themselves.”

Anyway, here’s your form of consent, Bluesky.

Lloyd and Colette from Tales of Symphonia. Lloyd is a young man with spiky hair wearing suspenders. Colette is a young woman with long hair and wearing a cleric’s frock. Colette traces the palm of Lloyd’s hand to communicate when she loses her voice.

My favorite kids

Ashton from Critical Role. They're a green tinted earth genasi with purple crystal hair. On the left side of their head is a bright gem inserted into a wound, with the cracks from it being filled in with gold. The same sort of cracks cover their left arm too. Their left eye is also milky as if blinded, and their right arm has the appearance of cooling lava with glowing orange streaks. They're dressed in a black ripped tshirt, vest with gold spikes at the shoulders.

Dorian from Critical Role - he's a air genasi with his long black hair up in a bun. He's got a blue cape and shoulder armour with gold feather motif, carries a lute and from his waist hangs a rapier.

Fearne from Critical Role. She's a faun carrying a twisting staff that splits into different branches, two which ends with snake heads and the third a acorn shaped lantern. Flowers grow all over the staff. Her green hair is up in a messy bun, with flowers and blue ribbons adorning her hair and horns, as well as pinned to the lapel of her blue coat. She's looking curiously at her blackened left hand from which embers rise. From her belt hangs a carved wooden figure, and part of her pink dress is pinned up to show her leg.

Orym from Critical Role. He's a halfling wielding a sword and shield, wearing leather armour with gold details. On his right arm he's got a tattoo pattern that looks like a crescent moon and cloud like swirls that tapers out into blossoms at his forearm. His shoulder and arm is also covered in creeping blue ivy.

The individual character art for the Critical Role live show Oaths & Ash. :) Thank you again to CR for letting me do my own spin on the lovely designs. 1/2

Queer developers speak out as adult games remain in limbo following payment processor showdown at Steam and itch.io When developer and Itch Queer Games Bundle co-founder Taylor McCue awoke one morning in late July it was to panic onlin…

Excellent article by @eurogamer.bsky.social. Fantastic work & a model for how other games outlets & games journalists should be covering this issue. Please read it and share widely. It's giving a voice to many developers often left unheard on paypro censorship

ATTENTION ALL CANADIANS

this is a petition to the house of commons to regulate payment processors and prevent them from deciding what you can and cannot buy

this is not a change.org waste of time. sign it. make everyone you know sign it.

Welcome Welcome to Access Granted. I want a place where I can comfortably and confidently share the stories that I want to tell but also need to be told.

For six years, I've had the privilege to publish countless reviews, features, and investigative pieces across numerous publications. I love what I do, and I think it's time to start a new venture. Welcome to the first post of my new newsletter, Access Granted.

Almost hit my goal, so doing one more boost! 💕

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference. Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false: If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false. Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out

Hey Firefox users.

I see
and I hear
and I speak no evil;
I carry
no malice
within my breast;
yet quite without
wishing
a man to the Devil
one may be
permitted
to hope for the best.

So yes, Testosterone is a performance enhancing drug. But so is Estrogen.

It depends on the aspect of human performance that we're talking about.

The idea that Testosterone is all around better for all sports comes from the biased idea that cis women can't beat cis men at sports.

But they can.

Just reread Blue Wraitch/Wraths of Tevinter and every time I do, I think about this again 🙈
