1) Width. Add it.
2) Width. Just. Yeah. If you want to draw a really big guy - do it. The third guy is ok, but it's just a small guy with belly!
3) Gravity! More fat - more soft - gravity goes brr.
4) Basic shapes and clothes would definitely help you to draw a big comfy soft guy!

There is no reading of a text that is so boring as the overtechnical sort that leads to completely serious conclusions like, "Morgoth created rot and decay and hobbits love mushrooms, so hobbits ought to be dedicated to Morgoth." Like I hated reading comprehension tests in school same as everyone but some people really needed more.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:
Based on the author and characters' attitude towards what he describes as "rot and decay" and the author and characters' attitude towards mushrooms, do you think they classify mushrooms under the broader category of "rot and decay?" Why or why not?
(Research question) Mycology (the study of mushrooms) was considered a branch of botany until 1969. When was the book published? When was the author in school? When did he die?
Based on your answers to the previous two questions, do you believe that, in the fictional universe the story is set in, Morgoth is responsible for the existence of mushrooms?
(Bonus question) Do you hate fun?

i do think some of the skepticism around dune is kind of sillay. this was the website posting about and cheering enthusiastically for some succession character every week when the show was airing. tumblr.com/ask is it ethical to enjoy this character who’s kind of bad? well yes, it is. they’re characters, which is to say they’re just vehicles for storytelling.

Ok the fandom wiki is back to normal as of earlier, so if you accidentally stumble upon it, it'll be fine.
However please make sure to keep using the New and Improved Wiki, which is not only easier to navigate and is more pleasant, but also the new preferred wiki. (Not only to mention the various issues that Fandom wiki has). Bookmark it or something if you need to.
As future reference, it should be noted that vandalism on the fandom wiki will not help take the wiki down due to fandom's policy, despite previous otherwise thoughts (myself included) and the continuous vandalism only brings traction to it. As well as, mentioning the new wiki will have the possibility to demote and ban the current mods of the fandom wiki.
As silly as the entire thing was, please make sure to use the new wiki and refrain from going back to the old one. Especially since last night made the fandom wiki get a lot of traction.
As a reminder, here are some extensions you can use to help avoid using the fandom wiki: 1 (redirector) 2 (wiki.gg redirector) 3 (wiki indie buddy)
and here's the reddit post about it

Spare bg3 oc lore if available? 👁👁
OOOOOOOOOOOOH OF COURSE I WILL I'M ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO RAMBLE ABOUT VALEN. okay so i've been sitting on these for a while because i wasn't sure if i liked them or not, but i think i do so !!
1) Valen lost sight in their right eye (along with receiving their facial and neck scars) at a young age during their massacre of their adoptive family. Whether it was a conscious choice they made or yet another usurp of their control by Bhaal, they don't know or remember, and quite frankly, they don't want to remember. Despite not remembering, they are now certain that sight in their now solid black eye was restored as a gift from Bhaal. It isn't perfect, as things look dull and faded with that eye (it doesn't see color), but it serves its purpose regardless, so they don't complain.
2) Valen is constantly at war with themselves and their gradual development into becoming...a better person? A less-selfish person, at least. They have actual friends now, instead of people surrounding them that are a means to an end, and it feels nice. They want to see them smile. They want to see them happy. They want them to achieve whatever goals they may have—regardless of what that means for anyone else (except themselves, though, they aren't becoming that selfless; they're still at the top of their own list of priorities, second only to Astarion). And that is...weird, unsettling to them.
They come closer and closer to death's door with every risk and leap of faith they take for their friends and though their first instinct is to be annoyed with themselves for risking their neck for someone else, once they mellow out and the adrenaline wanes, they only feel...accomplished? Relieved? Happy? It's all new to them, but they wish nothing but the best for their friends, and seek to give their partner the world, something they vaguely remember only wanting for themselves and their former god.
3) Valen is an utterly devoted partner to a fault. They don't fall easily or quickly by any means, and in order for them to truly fall for a person, they have to align with them almost completely. Valen sees so much of themselves in Astarion—the selfishness, the wariness, aversion to doing what will hold no benefit to them—and it draws them to him like a moth to flame; it makes them feel comfortable around him, seen by him, understood by him, and it compels them to lower their guard sooner they would have for anyone else.
And once Valen truly falls, they want nothing short of the entire world for their partner, no matter what it takes to give it to them. If it will make him smile, laugh, make his eyes light up in that perfect way that they do, Valen will do it. Valen will give him everything. Even before Astarion was in the picture, before Orin's betrayal and their fall from grace and favor, Valen held the exact same devotion to Gortash. They were willing to throw everything away, if it meant keeping him safe and happy and free from the brutalization that Bhaal always forces them to inflict on those they love. They were willing to beg and plead and bargain with their notoriously unbending and unforgiving god to not be angry that their heart shared love and devotion with someone that was not him, pride be damned—and pride is something that Valen has in shameful abundance. In that moment, Valen did not matter, only their love.
Love will always, always, always be Valen's downfall.

Question about the relationship chart: does Grey Wind consider Seven Red Suns a friend while SRS on the other hand is like "Yeah, I know him"? Why is the friendship one-sided? Don't do this to GW, you said they're already sad as it is
Sorry for adding more sad to the sad old guy but it be like that nfndndn
Since Wind is a late gen 1 while Suns is an early gen 2, they're very close in age and they do chat as acquaintances outside of their research.
Suns being a biological branch sometimes asks Wind for assistance when it comes to bio-mechanical matters. Wind being the older of the two sees himself being Suns' senior (imagine this like a highschool-freshman kind seniority) and is very happy to help, so he thinks theyre friends. While on Suns side they just think he's someone they talk to sometimes but doesn't communicate often enough to be friends.
