Daily reminder that fruit and veggies don't have to be "healthy" to be nutritious. Drink that fruit juice from concentrate. Eat that jam and nut butter. Use fruit and vegetables out of a can. Eat a dessert with fruit in it. Snack on salted nuts (in moderation) or dried fruit. Literally any way you can get fruit and vegetables into your body is better than none at all.
If fresh fruit and veg aren't available to you, take too much energy to eat or prepare, or if you just can't bring yourself to eat them, whatever way you can eat them is good enough.

I'm Italian and a new follower, ever since I saw the region where Machete is from I can't stop calling him Carmelo in my head since it's a pretty common name there and Vasco speaks with a Tuscan accent in my head now( I love how they pronounce the letter C even if people sometimes makes fun of them for that)
It's always really fun hearing about any Italians that like my work and characters, because you guys obviously have the insider knowledge I (a Finnish person) am not privy to. If you say Machete looks like a Carmelo I have hard time doing anything but nodding and going "ah yes, sounds legit, you probably know your Carmelos better than I do".

Hiya! I'd like to ask how do you do your ms paint art? Do you first make the outlines and then colours, or perhaps vice versa? I really adore your ms paint art and would love to know the process (for practice purposes:))
Depends! My two strategies, featuring Cactus Gunman of Gregory Horror Show fame:
I often just color right on top of my sketches when I'm being silly + designing characters + just trying to figure out what something looks like (and tend to use this to fiddle with details and colors) It's usually quicker for me to end up with something that I'm happy with.
Most of the time when I bother to do separate, cleaner line art, it's because I'm making a graphic for my website. LOL. I think it feels a little more cartoonish-silly, which is usually what I'm going for when I decide to do this. It's also a bit harder to make large changes to whatever I'm drawing, so I'm usually working off of a messier thing I've already made.
(Technically, I no longer use MS Paint and instead use Aseprite due to becoming a Linux user, but nothing has really changed about the way I draw + all of this can be done in MS Paint just fine.)

I was *this* close to asking about the resist and elongate follow-up, but then I see the Vincent wips and 👀 extra-curricular is looking vv interesting~ your Vin is adorable~💖
pinksparkl's talking about this game (asks still open!)
VINCENT!! discord can confirm that i spend far too much time compiling various hanfu pictures for chinese!vincent and it's honestly the best decision i've ever made.
(this is DEFINITELY going to have to go under the cut. vincent AND vega in the same post?? think of the children!)
no, seriously. it gets sexy. MINORS DNI.
extracurriculum is....... exactly what it says on the tin, to be honest. i THINK it began as a dare on discord, and it's basically turning into a short smut exercise because i need the practice lmao 🫠🫠 there's functionally no plot, it's just possessive vincent fucking lovely in the stairwell because they're hot and he can. what more does a man need 😇😇
and, like, look - i have the doc open anyway, so we might as well...... 🥰🥰
i've mentioned before that i'd love to write a wedding fic, but i've never really had a good way of doing it - easy pickings is basically my way of manufacturing that scenario! i very much have a soft spot for morticia-and-gomez, that's-my-wife!, i'll-burn-the-world-for-you type characters, ESPECIALLY villains, and there's really nobody better for that than vega.
(also fun fact! the name of this document comes from possibly the most bizarre place, but i promise it's related. it takes a lot of sitting, getting chicks to hatch!)

About the accents: if someone has a very "proper" Italian they are either foreigners or politicians/dignitaries/etc. So that fits perfectly for Machete, but I think it would be so funny if he sometimes slipped up and used a Nepalese word bc he forgot one in "proper" Italian lol
(Funny to me cause Naples has its own language in addition to accent, and most people don't actually know those words)

I’ve been thinking about it, and especially with Calem being a veteran hero in his world, like dridz’t big, he might not take Halsin’s confession very well?
Just, him as Tav going “I like you but i need proof you actually like me and not what I did for you.” Wants proof Halsin isn’t conflating being grateful for being attracted.
Tells Halsin to go talk to Astarion about him, ask him about the worst thing he’s ever done and his time in Garlemald. Says he’s not rejecting Halsin but doesn’t want to start anything until he has some assurance Halsin’s attracted to him and not to a hero.
Especially since like, Halsin likes nature and children and peace. And Calem is a chaotic gremlin who loves fighting and for whom domesticity makes his skin crawl.
