i’ve always found it peculiar how during meeting the chargers cutscene the game just assumes your character automatically understands what krem is talking about when he mentions binding (though, granted, it’s all very unsubtle). like, this is a roleplaying game. what if i want to play a character who just doesn’t get it

#dragon age #cremisius aclassi #inquisitor trevelyan #at least give me an in game explanation of why the inquisitor would Know this right away #it's not like transgenderism is a widely explored topic in da lore. the most you can find about it in inquisition specifically excluding #krem and seras countless transmisogynistic lines is one codex that mentions that some previous divine mightve been a trans woman #and the way it's written sucks ass. the infamous sex in thedas codex also mentions nothing on the topic of transness. so like #whats up with that #art stuff #before anyone says anything i fully realize how i look critiquing a bioware game that came out in 2014 on its faulty queer representation #please trust me i know. im just thinking out loud #ALSO. in case it isnt obvious. parsley transed they gender. the joke is that theyre a nonbinary femme now #its hard for me to show it through art because it would involve misgendering them but they dont actually start going by they/them pronouns #until after halamshiral. so like technically if i made them refer to themselves as he/him at any point before that it would be canonical but #its not like my art is chronological by any means and cannot be taken out of context by virtue of it existing as an individual post online #if someone were to reblog an art of them saying hi im a dude theyd go cool! hashtag male inquisitor. or something #the tragic case of sacrificing narrative in order to not get second hand discomfort at seeing parsley misgendered #ANYWAY..........

fuck it. plaguesona

#i thought of this a couple weeks ago on the bus a couple seats away from someone loudly coughing into the open air #i think something snapped and i decided to make a fuckin. medieval ass plague sona. horseman of pestilence fursona #this is also why i was asking abt animals with medical symbolism.. originally i wanted a two headed snake like the staff of caduceus #but it turns out thats actually hermes symbol. the real symbol for medicine is the rod of asclepius which looks pretty similar #the difference is that theres only one snake and its twined around a stick. ironically mercy from overwatch's weapons are named after #the caduceus despite the misconception LMAOOO #snakes were the most consistent medicine related animal i could find even across multiple cultures so it couldve really worked #if i could actually draw scalies.. one of my earliest sketches had a cobra with a syringe at the end of its tail like a rattlesnake #and it had markings similar to the syringe tube but i didnt have much else going on so i scrapped it #i was also recommended animals with less obvious ties to medicine like jellyfish and horseshoe crabs and learned something new ^_^ #im not confident i could pull off a non-mammal furry but they were really good ideas i might put into smth else.. i also thought of #axolotls bc of their regenerative thing and growing back limbs but i think that would suit smth like a surgeon or amputation... #possums and bats were also an option bc theyre actually really resistant to most diseases like rabies but i feel like ppl wouldnt know that #if they saw it so it looks a little ironic at a glance. rabbits rats and mice were my second option bc of animal testing and lab rats #less obvious reference but the moon rabbit in chinese mythology is loosely connected to medicine bc it makes the elixir of life #otherwise lab mice in a pharmacy / modern medicine setting seemed fitting and jerboa tails remind me of cotton buds #and. ironically. jerboas are more closely related to elephants than rats and mice. can you believe it #my art #myart #my oc #sona #plaguesona #cottonbud #fur #furry art #character design #ref sheet #oc ref sheet

i need a drawfee archive that's got every stupid funny moment documented in chronological, alphabetized order for when i spontaneously remember a really obscure bit that i need to find or else i'll explode. i need to be able to type an extremely vague description in a search bar and have it understand me completely.

#slight tangent but a part of me wants to learn how to edit comps just so i can make one of all their parody song bits #theyre so dumb and they bring me such joy #you could prolly get a 20 minute video thats JUST mr brightside references lol #anyway for context #i had a memory of someone drawing the same image twice pop into my head with no prompting whatsoever #all i could remember was that the colors were funky and the images were droopy?? and im 93% sure it was jacob #and it was too off the rails for me to easily link it to a specific challenge or thumbnail #all i knew is that it felt kinda recent so i spent like 20 minutes scrolling the timeline of every video starting 9 months ago #and i did find it! much easier to find when its within a year thank god. its from 'making art out of our worst spam emails' #specifically jacobs section. and id say the 20 minutes was worth it. the duplication and immediate fade in of the render will always send m #so ye go watch it if youve got nothing else to do. help me justify the time cost lol #drawfee #sea rambles

Hello i am not done about posting about my boy

Have a comic that ran itself through my head until I had to put it on paper--my lil guy cian (braid) asking his brother Emyr in his youth to read him a story totally did not steal this idea from the blog

and i wanted to practice my signs a lil bit and this was good practice between ISL (irsh sign language) and ASL (american sign language), if you spot something thats wrong please let me know! I want to know more about ISL so I can study it more!

#my art #digital art #my comic #digital comics #the kings hound #cian #if character #mc character #I did try and research isl signs a bit more but i couldnt find a whole lot?? #there was this one website that had videos and stuff but you can tell it was made in the early days of the internet #i know asl a lot more and i know they share ~some~ signs but i know there is major differences #like the reading sign! #isl has your pointer going side to side to read your palm while asl has it going up and down #interesting aint it? #i think #again please correct me if im wrong #and i know #that when referring to someone or yourself its usually at the end then the start #but when i was taught in class my prof didnt correct us and hes a 70 year old deaf man #then again #he did some out dated signs #so honestly idk man #im tired #i'll stop rambling now

Heyleth: ...You're only 350?

Halsin: Only? You make it sound as if that's hardly creeping up in age.

Heyleth: ...Because it is. We live to be like... six or seven hundred.

Halsin: ...

Heyleth: ...

Halsin: So...you and I...are showing age due-

Heyleth: Due to trauma, yes.

#heyleth dawnwalker #halsin #ITS A JOKE #i dont want anyone coming at me 'STOP MAKING HALSIN'S ENTIRE PERSONALITY TRAUMA' #his daughter has been through quite a lot and now finally has someone she can relate to #as well as find true refuge in as a father #tbf heyleth is aging way faster due to all the stress shes endured plus whats inside her #and all halsin's been through its my headcanon why a YOUNG elf would look so old already at 350 #and why he refers to himself as old #MOMS AND DADS OF THE FRIEND GROUP I KNOW YOU HEAR WHAT IM SAYING #we are not old BUT WE FEEL OLD

think i found a fake georgia o'keeffe painting lol

#this has been an original post #personal spewage #like. not a real painting someone is trying to pass off as a georgia o'keeffe #just. an image online that is being credited as by her #but not only do i suspect it's not. i don't even know where it _is_ from #like i think it might've been created just to be attributed to her? or something? #like this might be one of those things where it made the leap from physical sources to digital and lost its citations along the way or w/e #but uhhhh. i don't think so #the earliest reference to it i could find was in 2007 on a random art history site (not affiliated w any actual organization/museum/etc) #after that it's all. freaking. pinterest/instagram/tumblr #anyway i emailed the georgia o'keeffe museum abt it. hopefully they get back to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #this matters to me okay! i love her work! #i hate that when everyone sees one of her pieces all they think is “hur dur that looks like a vag” #a) that was not her intention and b) jesus christ can you think with something other than your reproductive organs for five fucking minutes #yes some things in nature are going to look phallic and/or yonic #you can have a good chuckle over it but then _move on_ #not everything is about sex/sexuality/the human body #sometimes ppl just want to paint pretty flowers #-sigh- #anyway #that's been my crusade today

I heard that Edward IV and Elizabeth Widvile were known to be very beautiful. Were there any reports on their appearance at the time?

anon 😂

But yes, contemporaries and post contemporaries in the 16th century were pretty much unanimous in praising their appearance. I'll list some of the ones I could find:

Elizabeth:

'The most beautiful woman in England' ('la plus belle fille d'Engleterre') - Jean de Waurin

'Her very great beauty' ('sa tres grande beaute') - Jean de Waurin

"Her beauty of person and charm of manner" - Dominic Mancini

"None of such constant womanhood, wisdom and beauty" - Hearne's Fragment; its author was one of Edward IV's servants

"A daughter of prodigious beauty' - 1469 Continuator of Monstrelet's Chronicle

"Both faire, of a good favor, moderate of stature, well made and very wise" - Thomas More

Edward IV:

"The beauty of your personage it hath pleased Almighty God to send you" - James Strangways, Speaker of the Commons in Parliament

"The king is a handsome upstanding man" - Gabriel Tretzel, travels of Leo of Rozmital

"A handsome prince and had style" - Oliver De La Marche

"In the flower of his age, tall of stature, elegant of person" - Croyland Chronicle

"One of the handsomest knights of his kingdom" - 1469 Continuator of Monstrelet's Chronicle

"A handsome and worthy prince" - Pietro Alipranto

‘...Tall and strapping as the king’ - John Paston, Paston Letters

"He was young and more handsome than any man then alive" - Philippe de Commynes

"A man so vigorous and handsome that he might have been made for the pleasures of the flesh" - Philippe de Commynes

"The handsomest prince my eyes ever beheld" and "I don't remember ever having seen a man more handsome than he was" - Philippe de Commynes

"A very handsome prince" - Louis XI, from the Memoirs of Commynes

"He being a person of most elegant appearance, and remarkable beyond all others for the attractions of his person" - the Croyland Chronicle, referencing Edward a few months before he died

"He seized any opportunity that the occasion offered of revealing his fine stature more protractedly and more evidently to onlookers" - Dominic Mancini, writing shortly after his death

"He was a goodly personage and very princely to behold...of visage lovely, of body mighty, strong and cleanly made; howbeit in his latter days, with an over liberal diet, somewhat corpulent, but nevertheless noy uncomely" - Thomas More

Etc.

I'm tagging @edwardslovelyelizabeth because I think you got a similar ask?

I hope this answers your question, anon! I don't generally pay a lot of attention to the physical appearance of historical figures (I find it pretty irrelevant), but in this case, it ultimately does play a role in both Edward IV and Elizabeth's historiographies for better and for worse, and seems to have actually been a personal prop of Edward's kingship, so I don't mind discussing it :)

#either anon is making rounds or someone else saw the ask and asked me something similar 🤷🏻‍♀️ #edward iv #elizabeth woodville #ask #also (I wanted to make a separate post about this but fuck it I'll just rant in the tags): #Something I find very interesting (read: fucked-up) is how we have multiple independent accounts praising Edward IV as extremely #attractive at the end of his life #Yet for some reason (aka fatphobia) most historians simply assume that he lost his looks over the years because he put on weight #even though his actual contemporaries (sans Commynes who in any case didn't even see him after 1475) certainly didn't seem to think so #as we can see: Croyland Mancini and More all noted the fact that he had put on weight AND emphasized his attractiveness #because the two are not mutually exclusive in the slightest and assuming that they are is not only incorrect it's also deeply problematic #it's similar to how so many historians assume his health was failing towards the end of his life when we KNOW - we are literally TOLD - #that his illness was both unexpected and baffling to contemporaries #(there is a contemporary reference to his supposedly deteriorating health but as Horrox says this is actually an editorial interpolation) #and the thing that's *always* referenced almost synonymously with this alleged non-existent ill-health is his weight #and the thing is - even if both of these were true they still ultimately wouldn't (and SHOULDN'T) matter. But we KNOW they weren't #and so it's incredibly indicative that historians and general histories STILL automatically assume them - and this assumption #is almost always on conjecture with his weight. (I don't think I've framed this coherently but oh well) #I'm still not over Katherine Lewis's deranged and frankly extremely ignorant epilogue in 'Kingship and Masculinity' #she literally framed her entire perspective on him around his weight with some really ridiculous (read: fatphobic) speculations/assumptions #she's even worse than Thomas Penn who is also revolting (and AJ Pollard isn't much better) #though of course they're not the only ones - almost every historian and general history does this

hey there! sorry this is so sudden but i was wondering if you or anyone else would be able to help me find a specific picture? its extremely similar to this one with some ms paint guys holding hands skipping in a circle just without the blood. i cant find it for the life of me 😭 thank you!

I'm thinking this is the one?

#I've actually reblogged an mspaint masterpost on my main #so I can refer to it for finding images in this medium #anyways! hope this actually IS the one you're looking for lol #not a pic #someone asked me a thing! #ask mood: image request

Re: Chair Lore: Where is the Chair From?

I was joking about the seat looking like a sim chair, but after doing some research, I'm almost 100% sure they just took seats from a 2012 Ferrari 458 and put them on plexiglass platforms 😭

I couldn't find any pics that look *exactly* like the chair itself, but I think these are pretty similar, no?

It's going to bug me so much that I can't find the exact chair UGH, like with the white stripe in the middle, you know? But yes anyways, this is my theory.

*fyi, I'm planning a drawing with this chair and my thought process with finding reference is always "this has to be exactly perfect and 100% accurate" so thats why I'm being incredibly specific and over-detailed about this 😭 please don't think I'm weird

#THIS HAS GONE ON WAY TOO MUCH 😭😭😭😭😭 #im sitting here like. did i really spend ~30 mins looking at fucking car seats #i just need to find proper reference okay!! so i can do the chair justice!!! #well anyways derangement part 2: somehow even worse #i think im also going to make a comp post with him in 2013 w the chair #bcs i was looking at them and EEEEEEE so many cute pics!!!!! #also yeah lol felipe had one too. equality 🙏 #but also I need to remind myself. its literally ferrari with ferrai chairs that for all i know could be custom #i would love if i do all this inane research and dont even end up finishing my drawings 😭😭 #they live in my head and haunt me daily <3 im just scared i cant portray perfectly so! #someone left a tag on the other lore post about how they wish they could care abt anything as much as i care abt the chair #and im like HEY...okay fine youre not wrong #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #catie.rambling.txt #normal posts that catie normally makes in a normal fashion

getting into a new fandom and finding 0 fics for it on ao3 😭 is it over

#delete later #it's 4am where i live and i cannot sleep which is v frustrating bc i have work as always #and i will truly private this when i am more awake and embarrassed but the fandom is k//ill//er p//et//er on we//bto//on #aka k//ill//er p//ie//tro depending on the translation scans site #it's only ~30 (scrollable webcomic format) eps so far... very action-y and digestible #but man. the titular character... #.............. #seasoned assassin who succeeds despite the crazy odds stacked against him out of sheer competence and experience #what if he had a cold 🙁🙁🙁 #i was actually reading it for reference for something more action-oriented i'm working on to familiarize myself more with the genre #my personal investment was not part of the plan (🤡) #i don't think i can be the one to post the first ever fic on ao3 and have it be a gratuitous sickfic 😭 i don't have it in me #also i think it would not quite live up to the joy of reading someone else's thoughts about how he'd operate when unwell... but sadly there #is 0 demand for it except for me and it's also not the kind of genre where we would ever get that arc in canon #...next time i need to find something with at least 1 sickfic on ao3 before i get emotionally invested

Decided after thinking I could draw Tremolo from memory to actually try it.

#yugioh go rush #ryugu tremolo #a deer draws #the rule only applied for the lines #i'm not that advanced #can i vent about the references for a second? #srs they have been causing me so much confusion in all my earlier drawings #you can play “spot the difference” and you will actually find them #hint: the two i'm talking about are in the first image #and then not everyone has references like the brothers do???? #why do i need to look into episodes to find the proper eye colour of a certain glasses wearing furniture and providence fanboy???? #why do i need to check episodes to get the proper colour of the crescent in a certain blond commanders eyes???? #someone please tell me i just have not been looking hard enough... #anyway #there is more to come this week
