Legolas: *drinking something from his flask*
Arwen: what’s that?
Legolas: oh, it’s just a drink. It’s an alcohol i created specifically to my taste.
Arwen: that’s so cool! Can i try some?
Legolas: ye- no.....
Arwen: what, why not? You let me try all the other kinds of silvan food and drinks from you, so why not this? Is it because you think i can’t handle it.
Legolas: no, no, and it’s not so much as a silvan thing as it is a family thing, and that “thing” is that my family likes to spice our food and beverages with poison.
Arwen: what
Legolas: yeah, so let’s not accidentally poison you.
Arwen:
Arwen: WTF
——————————-later ————————-
Arwen and family + legolas at the dinning table
Arwen: hey, so did you know that legolas drinks poison?
Elrond: *chokes on drink* wHAT-
Legolas: Arwen, you traitor!
Elladan: bro, what the fuck!?!
Legolas: in my defense, it’s not as if it can do anything to me at this point!
Legolas: let me spice my wine with some belladona in peace!
Elrohir: but why? How did you even get to this point???
Legolas:
Legolas: extenuated circumstances.

A question prompted by a very intense dinner conversation: are poison dart frogs poisonous or venomous? My understanding was always if it eats you and you die, it's venomous, if you eat it and you die, it's poisonous, but you touch it and you die doesn't seem to fit into that (admittedly probably oversimplified) rule.
Dendrobatid toxins are definitely poisons. The effect of being harmful to the touch is caused by that poison basically being absorbed by the skin, which is ingestion of a sort.

Scientists have identified the protein that helps poison dart frogs safely accumulate their namesake toxins, according to a study published today in eLife. The findings solve a long-standing scientific mystery and may suggest potential therapeutic strategies for treating humans poisoned with similar molecules. Alkaloid compounds, such as caffeine, make coffee, tea and chocolate delicious and pleasant to consume, but can be harmful in large amounts. In humans, the liver can safely metabolize modest amounts of these compounds. Tiny poison dart frogs consume far more toxic alkaloids in their diets, but instead of breaking the toxins down, they accumulate them in their skin as a defense mechanism against predators.

YAYAYAY!!!!! My final funguary guys!!
ANT (Acidity Near Thresholds; xe/xer, they/them) finally gets a redesign!
Oops ANT got molded :[ don't worry, they're ok! This is for the icing sugar fungus prompt.
Tox/The Moldy (it/its, ze/zir), for the final magic mushroom prompt. I chose to interpret it as a free space, so this guy is based on moldy dwarf bulborbs from Pikmin 4 :D Also Tox is responsible for ANT being toxified lol
Also funguary has been SO MUCH FUN and it's the first art month thing I've managed to complete! (even though i skipped some prompts)

Ok now this blog is mostly caught up! I finished this last week, using poison dart frogs as visual inspo- this is the most paint I’ve ever put into a sweatshirt so I’m glad it’s still comfortable! Cutting slashes and doing the built-up patchwork on the eye were both a first-time endeavour, I’m really proud of them
This is also aro pride merch but it’s mostly vibes based. Allotoxic is a cool slogan I wish I’d thought of earlier!!! So I could put it in a more blatant spot!!! Bitter veins is cool too though so it’s fine

*politely raises hand* Ayo do you have any thoughts on if fear toxin is even anything to worry about in the face of the Courage of Achilles?
Like Billy Batson would obviously have a terrible time if he’s exposed to it but would Captain Marvel, setting aside the fact he doesn’t need to breathe, be fine?
I don’t have a penny to give but I request thy thoughts.
Hey there!
So my answer here is two fold:
Technically there have been canon comics where Captain Marvel is affected by fear toxin (Shazam #12 i believe), bringing his greatest fears as Billy to the surface despite him being powered up. There have also been other non fear toxin induced events to a similar effect.
But to be perfectly honest, the comic I'm thinking of largely included him being affected by fear toxin as an excuse for a more experienced Batman to save the day and highlight his own inexperienced fighting style.
So as with most things, Cap's immunity to toxins (including fear toxin) varies based on what the writers want to happen in their story.
Personally, I think that he should be immune to standard fear toxin or at the very least be able to power through the hallucinations because of the courage of Achilles. I mean what's the point of having supernatural courage as a power if you can't overcome a chemical to induce fear? Especially if perfectly ordinary human Batman can do it with sheer willpower?
Mostly I think a lot of people have the tendency to downplay Cap's abilities while at the same time hyping up Batman and his rogues. If Cap's powers are actually understood and respected by the writers there really shouldn't be much to worry about with fear toxin (unless there's a a team up with a magical villain enhancing it or Billy is caught in it before he can transform. Then we might have an interesting story).
So that's my two cents on the subject! I'd love to other people chime in!

making some good project progress so far this year!!!
it feels so good to have more than halved what I've got in my project tracker over last year and this month (and these ones are from this month alone!)
info (+ skins) under the cut!
Decay (it/its) (skin: Hellwell Snaps by Cayleth) : It's a minor god of mutation and survival in my lore
Kyrma (any pronouns) (skin: Gustgather Guise by brightmyth) : depending on what part of the Forest someone is in, they'll hear two different things for them. One, is that they're the spirit of the wind. The other, the god of freedom
Tarpit (it/its) : hoping to find a fitting accent eventually. It's an incredibly ancient spirit of the Forest, dragging unsuspecting victims into the sludge of its namesake so their souls can be claimed by the forest.
Kobold (he/him) : Suspected to be a guardian spirit himself, he can often be found with or near the guardian Arahael; it's believed that his mere presence wards off malevolent spirits.
Crabsquid (any pronouns) : Subnautica fandragon of my favorite creature from the game <3
Savir (she/her) (skin: The Desert Calls by Verdes) : When she died, her soul went unclaimed by the Forest, leaving her to wander her place of death aimlessly. She began to grow angry and violent in her loneliness... At least, until she was discovered by Apsular.
Apsular (she/it) (skin: Bodies Wash Ashore by Tymbs) : A benevolent creature residing in a large swamp, she guides travelers lost in her home back to safety. She discovered the spirit Savir near the edge of its swamp, and helped to tame her anger; the two now work together to help those who are lost.

Thinking about some kind of "sleeping beauty" post-canon fix-it, were we to interpret Li Lianhua to be still dying at the end of the special episode.
About how it is the simplest tragedy of all, that Li Lianhua just needed more time: Ten years, and Fang Duobing could cultivate yangzhouman powerful enough to heal him.
There is no xianxia magic to freeze time present in the drama, there are, however, nods to it - body-preserving herbs and techniques to stop the breath for three days. And how ice can freeze a body, freezes everything it touches, at the moment of death.
So I'm thinking of that, and I'm thinking about this:
How Li Xiangyi and Di Feisheng were once at the peak of the martial world, and that it is always cold at the summit of a mountain. I'm thinking about Di Feisheng (who recognises only one equal in the world) carrying Li Lianhua up a mountain along a path scattered with pine needles.
There Li Lianhua stays, out of time, a body frozen.
Perhaps he stays frozen the whole time, Di Feisheng a silent guard - standing sentry for ten more years in seclusion. His hair starts to grey at the temples. But what is another decade, if it means Li Lianhua at his side? He is willing to be the one to take the meandering path this time, if it means their zhiji can continue by their side.
Or perhaps Li Lianhua gasps awake - a split second, once every three days, to simply fall back into his breathless stupor. The presence of Di Feisheng a constant in those snippets of consciousness - 1,216 of them. As fleeting as a grain of sand in an hourglass, but a steady trickle of time nonetheless.
It's a gamble. 1216 days - 3 years and 4 months, a decade of stretched time - for Fang Duobing to cultivate the strength to save Li Lianhua.
(Yet it realistically is a decade of Fang Duobing's life - of intense training and focus, the survival of Li Lianhua on his shoulders a constant anxiety in the turmoil of the jianghu - within which he now forges a name for himself without Li Lianhua or Di Feisheng, while Di Feisheng himself has almost passed into legend, unseen since the letter on the shores of the East Sea.)
But even that borrowed time may not be enough: Li Lianhua must survive like this for three years, when he is already down to practically zero.
..It's internal power that Di Feisheng willingly gives.
Every three days, he gives another second of his life.
To die three years earlier - decades hence - with the satisfaction of decades more with both Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing at his side, is no gamble at all.
Such a small debt is meaningless, for love.

my Dark Urge and the Rabies Babies team finally made it to act 3, and let me just say the vibes they all bring are wild. Imagine trying to intimidate a group of 2 female drow warriors, a one-eyed githyanki, and a woman clad head to toe in sharran armor that exudes magical darkness around it. and then there's karlach who is just stoked to go to the carnival, never change
