My Watching Over Kids Hot Take a lot of kids just want someone to talk to them calmly without telling them what to feel. Or maybe they just want to talk and have someone listen
A kid at church today was sulking under a table blocked off by chairs that he couldn't get to play with this Optimus prime toy they had in a cabinet and when I asked him if he was willing to wait for it after the service or if maybe he had some toys at home he said he didn't and church was the only place he could play with one, and Optimus prime is his favorite character ever. I told him we couldn't let him play with it now, but if he was willing to wait until later when there were fewer kids he could take it for a spin. He was still sitting under the table but he wasn't frowning anymore. He told me about dinosaurs. His favorite is the allosaurus. He came out from under the table for a second just to mimic its roar. I said yooo that's sick my favorite is the pterodactyl. I mimed a screech (my dinosaur knowledge is very limited, alas). He crawled out from under the table and started clawing at the air, doing his best impression of a dinosaur. It was very cute. I think he likes dinosaurs almost as much as he likes Optimus prime. Then he ran off to play with the other kids
A sketchy comic for The Nebular Theory (@theundertalenebulartheory) which has been dominating my thoughts for the last while!!!
Please please PLEASE go read this fic. It's absolutely amazing and delves into some REALLY COOL exploration of timeline shenanigans and has a hella neat way of visualising that!!
I could sit and spout praises about this fic for hours but honestly just go read it, it's SO good.
Okay so back in 2017 I drew Madoka Kaname (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) and TODAY I finished the redraw <3
This might’ve been the best thing to come out of my heart-failing laptop. Originally I was gonna redraw her digitally, but then that fell through so paper it was :D
And I think this is a better way to redraw her since the original was in paper as well <3
Uhc okay so uhh here’s the original:
(Ignore Zoroark up there)
Hcbsk I like the comparison, this new one is so pretty
Chugong writing Japanese hate in his novel only for it to become popular nationwide, have a Japanese light novel, be one of the first (?) Reverse isekai action manhwa to be adapted as an anime whose opening theme is a collaboration between a Kpop band and the infamous Horiyuki Sawano, and have the Japanese hunters have the best looking mf designs even when they are side background characters is... absolutely funny, hilarious, the tomfoolery.
Why don't you give a nice little comparison between minecraft 1.0 and terraria 1.0 to remind people terraria got out of beta first lmao
🌳 Minecraft was fully released 6 months and 2 days after Terraria's initial release! (November 18, 2011)
⛏️ ADDITIONALLY! Minecraft's very first public release (but not the official release) (and also seemingly the release date most people go by considering i hear people talk abt it being released in 2009?) falls ONE DAY after Terraria's birthday! They are LITERALLY HOLDING HANDS SINGING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOGETHER!
Hi Alex! I was wondering, since there's leviathans of all fuck off sizes, are there other species in this world? Like Wyverns that can fly above and swan dive to say hi to their leviathan buds?
Hiya! There arent any dragons if that is what youre asking, nor any other massive species.
Besides the leviathans and all the regular sealife, fauna in CD is mostly avian (primarily seafaring birds and jungle fowl on the islands)
There are some bigger birds around but they are nowhere near as big as the leviathans are. I think the max size for birds would roughly be around cutter class sized (the smallest leviathan class), and those DO dive for fish like ospreys, though leviathans might chomp at them if they get too close (the same would happen with wyverns too)
----
As a note, there's a non-lore adjacent reason for it too, it's that I do not want the focus to shift away from the ocean and the leviathans. If I made giant flying things there would have to be logistics around that and I would not want them to interfere with what I already have.
Though now that I'm thinking about it, it could be really swag to have hunters who ride on big birds (I am immensely biased), though as much as I like it idk if I can make it work without pulling too much focus from the CD vibe haha
