#*gets out the spray bottle*

[canisalbus]

That juice box ask is so right. Machete will definitely shrivel into dust if he does not have his daily H2O intake.

.

#oh no oh geez #he looks MUMMIFIED #did he dry out so badly his eyes retracted into his head #like some sort of SNAIL #he needs a long soak like one of those tiny shriveled dinosaur figures that expand when you put them in a glass of water #potentially the most cursed thing anyone has ever drawn for me #genuinely unsettling 10/10 #gift art #thagoldennugget #own characters #Machete #I have an unfathomable urge to get a spray bottle and mist him #but I don't think it would be enough

When I came across that "joke" from Tav to Quill and Z'rell's comment (plus Halsin), I had to take a minute to process what happened. Gale might be a bit silly and eccentric but he's the kindest, sweetest and most passionate character in that party. No wonder the poor man has deep insecurities to solve, so many people reduce him to an easy target! Ofc one of the side effects would be overconfidence and ambition as a defense mechanism. He's obv lonely; only Tara and Morena ever loved him for him.

his eccentric nature might be a part of it. he is loquacious, outgoing, and doesn’t see the point in hiding his enthusiasm. he is considered to be the weird one. naturally, wizards in general being seen as somewhat squishy and physically weak might also add to it.

personally, i really don’t like the implications of the (widely considered) autistic-coded character being the one who faces the most ridicule by far by other characters and fans (and larian) alike.

some might disagree with me on that, but i don’t find it funny by any means either. mostly it just makes me feel bad. “he deserves it. cocky, arrogant, hubris-ridden wizard needs to be taken down a peg” like he isn’t… y’know… already at his lowest. it also disregards the fact that much of his bravado is part of his carefully curated Great Wizard of Waterdeep™ persona that he has skillfully adopted to mask his general feeling of being defective. being fiercely proud of your skill and knowledge and being doubtful of having something truly worthwhile to offer are mindsets that can coexist. according to fandom, gale is either secret hubris incarnate that is only waiting to be unleashed upon the world or pure baby that can do no wrong. instead of a character that is just as flawed and traumatized as all the others, but no less deserving of genuine love.

to me, the constant ridicule just reads as further feeding into his deep-rooted insecurities and his belief that he (as gale, the person) isn’t someone who holds inherent worth. it really, really doesn’t sit well with me.

#gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #but then again i believe that fandom still has a hard time grasping his character as a whole #we always talk about wanting complex and complicated characters that contain multitudes #but once we get them we don’t know what to do with them #and proceed to try our hardest to reduce them to a few select traits #gale is a kind and good-hearted person. that is not up for debate. #anyway gale deserves people around him who respect and cherish him and are genuinely supportive #protect that wizard and shower him in all the adoration. he needs it. #and i get you anon!!! i also really wish we could call out our companions & npcs #my tav would always keep a spray bottle on hand just in case #someone is being mean to gale again? [pssssht pssshhht] u stop that right this instant #on that note i also don’t like the undertone tav has when they have the option to talk about gale to other parties #what’s with the hesitancy and the derisive undercurrent??? #am i supposed to pretend that my tav wouldn’t turn into the personification of the will smith meme whenever they had the option to #talk about their bf/husband???? lies and slander #larian critical #it speaks

Everytime Whirl says something self deprecating, Drift, Swerve, and Megatron squirt him with a spray bottle. Rung pays them to do it with credits from Drift's credit card.

#transformers mtmte #mtmte rung #mtmte megatron #mtmte whirl #mtmte swerve #mtmte drift #yes drift is essentially paying himself but he also gets enjoyment out of it #so in his processor it's a win win scenario #what is in the spray bottle is up to you and whatever you think is funniest #The same actually goes for Megatron and Swerve; say something mean about yourself and get sprayed #they'd do it to Rodimus too but that mech doesn't care so it doesn't really work for him

have u played pentiment? Also, that little tag on ur ex voto comic abt blocking supersessionists rly does mean a lot, thank u <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I have! I haven't finished it yet, but I'm obsessed with Guy. I need to unpeel him like an orange

also no problem! it's literally the bare minimum for doing christian centric artwork, especially since I've previously done biblical illustrations but with a deliberate focus on the jewish narrative over christian interpretation in an attempt to chase the historical method.

usually I just block people and move on, but for comics like ex voto, which is heavily christian, I thought I'd ready a spray bottle in case anyone was thinking about acting up in the tags because I'd like for ex voto to be something fun from a spectacle point of view even if you aren't christian, but that can't happen if the supersessionism crowd feels too comfy because of the time period it takes place in

#i also singled out tradcaths because they're so annoying about this like oh my god fuck off #most of my friends growing up were jewish or muslim or non western christian so. #it would be a supremely dick move on my part if i was okay with having supersessionism hang around #when i get to the crusades i'll probably have to ready the spray bottle again because boy howdy is that a subject #that attracts some of the worst people you've ever had to deal with #ask tag

Doing a Wyll Origin Run and this dialogue in particular is so FUNNY to me. It’s a Human Dialogue Option but it happening between Gale and Wyll feels canon.

Gale trying to argue they should try to turn Raphael’s deal in their favor and playing the Human card, and Wyll, one of two embodiments in the party of why you shouldn’t trust devils, shutting him down immediately.

[Dialogue Written in case it’s hard to see + id reasons:

Wyll: I’ll remind you that when dealing with a devil, you always draw the short straw.

Gale: There’s no such thing as absolute certainty.

Gale: Let me play the devil’s advocate: the man is too eager. Do not dismiss his offer out of hand.

Gale: If there’s one such quality all the denizens in the Hells embody, it’s ambition. A quality they share with many humans, come to think of it…

Wyll: Speak for yourself, Gale.

Gale: Fine— but my reasoning is this.]

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #wyll ravengard #gale dekarios #I will say that meeting Raphael as Wyll with Karlach in my party was quite interesting #Karlach’s usual dialogue came up but it felt very much like the two people who had to deal with the Hells bullshit giving each other looks #ALSO you can be like ‘I already made a deal with a devil once so no thank you’ as Wyll and it’s GREAT #not the point. the point is that it very much feels like Wyll is keeping Gale in check here like #‘Buddy. I know you want power but this is NOT how you get it.’ #Wyll and Karlach pulling out the spray bottles anytime anyone wants to make a deal with a devil #Karlach turning said spray bottle on Wyll when Mizora wants him to sign another pact in exchange for his father’s safety

(@breed-station ) Magby grew a little frustrated how Silas treated the others around just asking to help him. "Look buddy, this is none of our business obviously, but wouldnt it be easier to accept help from strangers? Refusing and then lamenting about your past mistakes doesnt bring you any further as well, ya know. And btw, i think ya got a visitor you should pay attention too."

Silas quickly shifted into his illusion as he approached Magby. Though his intention was not to attack them, he made his aggression towards the tiny Pokemon was made clear.

"You should really watch what you say, and who you say it to. I don't need your fuckin' sass right now." The illusion leaned in, it was lingering much too close for comfort, and its teeth were barely inches away from them. Silas had no interest in killing them even if the illusion suggested otherwise. It only gave a tiny huff before it fully backed off.

"I already got bullied once today, and I ain't about to let it happen again. I'm not going to be everyone's punching bag." He sighed before his gaze fell away. "I already have had enough of that in my life."

"Strangers are called 'strangers' for a REASON. I don't know who the fuck I can trust anymore after everyone's always taken advantage of me." His words seemed suddenly sad, he was finally being honest for once. "How the hell am I supposed to know who I can accept help from without them roping me into being their personal servant huh? Would you blindly trust everyone you meet if everyone's always tried to use you to get what they want? Hm? I fuckin' doubt it."

→ Silas doesn't seem too happy with Magby's words. → The lurking presence will be addressed soon.

#tni: chrono #tni: silas rune #*gets the spray bottle out* BAD DOG LEAVE MAGBY ALONE #YOU CANT THREATEN TO EAT PEOPLE #The last comment about the lurker just flew over this mans head I have another ask for it so I'll use that one to show them 😭 #TNI: Seance Mentions #Chapter 1: The Introduction

hey, just wanted to let you know that salt licking post is basically completely made up. if you suspect that you might be low on sodium, get it checked. but our bodies do not tell us if we need more salt by making it taste good. too much sodium can be dangerous for your health and the post basically encourages ppl to ignore the medical reality of that.

You, uh... you're wrong, just FYI.

I mean, not about excessive salt intake being bad for one's health, that's true. Long term excessive salt intake (not occasionally, but consistently) seems to exhaust your body's salt-balancing systems, leading to, among other things, high blood pressure and its attendant cardiovascular diseases.

And most people living in the developed world eat a long term excess of salt. A rough estimate of the ideal range of daily salt intake is between 0.5g and 5g. People in the US, on average, eat double that amount of salt per day. Which, yes, is a massive cardiovascular risk!

That's perfectly correct.

It's also correct that the human appetite for salt increases dramatically after a salt-losing activity, and in other low salt situations.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

The specific way that increased salt appetite manifests varies widely. Some people (myself included) report salt becoming slightly sweet, most report it becoming ~indefinably delicious~, some people report a savory or meaty quality, or even salt becoming tasteless-yet-desirable, etc etc.

You are also correct that people who experience a new, unexpected salt craving or have other reasons to suspect a salt deficiency should seek professional medical confirmation.

But a fucking lot of people already know they have it. Salt deficiency is ~easy to diagnosis, and hard to manage~. In part because salt is present in a lot of unexpected places, so it may be necessary to supplement intake one day and not the next even though you haven't eaten anything "particularly salty."

The ability to very roughly spot-check your salt appetite with a simple taste test is validated experimentally, clinically and anecdotally by people with various conditions that cause salt problems. It's as a simple, low risk method of managing this known issue.

Licking a bit of salt off your palm is significantly lower risk than waiting until more extreme symptoms of known conditions set in, given those symptoms usually include confusion, vomiting, dizziness, and fainting.

Obviously if it's novel, yeah, go to a doctor when you are able to do so.

But if you've been dealing with salt deficiency since you were an infant, having a simple trick is actually very helpful.

Significantly more helpful than someone busting in to "correct" me inaccurately while making a lot of assumptions about how much disabled people know about our own bodies.

I mean for fuck's sakes, what kind of fully abled person is so worried about being low in salt that they'd bother licking it off their hands in the first place?

That's not a behaviour they'll repeat, specifically because it'll fuckin taste bad.

Edited to add:

If you frequently eat plain salt and it doesn't taste like your tongue is pickling to death please tell your doctor! I promise you, eating plain salt it is Not A Normal Thing. You need to find out why your body is doing that.

This is "spicy bananas" all over again, people.

#5g of salt is approximately one teaspoon btw #If for some reason you need to limit your salt intake #And you also prepare all of your food in your own home #You can simply measure out a teaspoon of salt first thing in the morning #And then take pinches from that for seasoning your food throughout the day #So that you know you're not going over 5g #Additionally salt tastes 'saltier' when it's on the outside of food #Because more of the salt is contacting your tongue #So with the exception of boiling (pasta stew oatmeal etc) #You want to use salt only at the very end right before you eat #To maximize salt flavour while minimizing salt intake #You can also get a very small food safe spray bottle (like a 1 fl oz bottle) #And put your 1tsp of salt in it then dissolve it in water #So that you can lightly mist your foods before eating them #That way you get a more even salt coating that crystals and flakes of salt cannot provide!
