God, not me going down a rabbithole learning about traditional vietnamese lacquer painting and being overcome by the need to get into this craft. Like, perhaps I am Many-Much biased but sơn mài is one of the most unique and beautiful styles of lacquer art. I wish this artform had more international recognition because it’s absolutely incredible.
And I’m so pissed that there has been little to no international interest in it, because I’ve been obsessed with lacquer art since I was a kid, but whenever I tried to learn more about the process, all the info I found was about maki-e. Even now, when I look for materials to try it myself, I’m stuck with sourcing urushi, and it’s kind of heartbreaking. I want to learn and participate in my culture’s artistic heritage, but the only way for me to do so is to rely on another culture’s popularity and materials.
There is nothing else in the world like this. Like, holy fucking shit.

this is a bit of a D&D movie spoiler and I get that it's the lowest stakes take possible, but I think it's silly they tried to give Chris Pine's character a Bard NPC statblock when he's clearly a Mastermind Rogue
'there's already a rogue in the party, edgin plays the lute' yeah yeah I get it, we're clearly supposed to think he's a Bard walking into this movie, but he's got no magic to speak of, which is actually kind of a relevant and noteworthy plot detail. he's not actually casting Charm Person or Friends or anything, because those are actual spells with spell components we never see him use. He's just got a high Charisma score and the Master of Tactics class trait
Edgin Darvis should be a Mastermind Rogue with the Entertainer background and probably the Inspiring Leader feat
like, he definitely seems to have some of the non-spellcasting abilities of a Bard (is that Bardic Inspiration or the Mastermind's bonus action Help we see?) and obviously I recognize this is probably intended to be a bit of a rules fudge to showcase how not everyone has easy access to magic in this setting... but a nonmagical bard is a rogue!
plus, reading him as a Rogue means his Lute Bash is adding sneak attack damage and that's why that's his only utility in combat and yet it works

Hi besties <3
So. to put it plainly, I am Struggling. Mentally, and financially, because I just quit my job for mental health reasons. I’m still gonna be working full time for a couple months because I didn't want to abandon my students, but then I’ll only keep a part time job that’s gonna allow me to pay rent, but not much else.
I kinda need your help, but instead of making a donation post, I made a Patreon.
If you become a patron, first of all I’ll love you forever. You’ll also get to commission things like edits, amvs, art, and even handmade things and objects. Also you can always unsubscribe after a month, I won’t get mad <3
But if one-time tips are more your vibe I also have a Ko-fi.
And finally here’s a link to my Etsy shop 🌸
I hope you’ll consider checking these out. I love you best friends. Mwah <3

btw its interesting the way james tries to imply that like. well the videos that have plagiarism are the ones our dumb stupid annoying patrons requested about bad topics that didnt deserve to have the effort put in to covering them well so basically its fine. like obv thats interesting on its own but moreso the fact that he doesnt actually /say/ it, or like. give a list of the videos hes referring to, just says "those videos are very clear on which ones they were" i think as a nod meaning like "yknow the ones everyones talking about". unless what hes meaning is that like they put a note in certain videos saying "this video was requested by a patron, we here at james somertom incorporated do not espouse these views" which seems unlikely to me. idk methinks maybe it's because there is indeed a lot more than people think and with all the buzz he's not sure which ones have been discovered yet or not, so putting down a solid list that missed some would look like he was still hiding things whereas putting down a fully sourced list would be admitting to wayyyy more than anyone's found yet

Prince Gerard of Greenleigh is my favorite Neverafter PC and my favorite Murph character. From DAY ONE I have been fighting this motherfucker but my GOD every time he opens his fucking mouth and something so desperate and wimpy comes out, I HAVE to, in this exact order, say "aww he's so stupid", laugh out loud, and then mentally put him higher on the PC list in my head. Fucking amazing, what a jamoke.
