Romance is for Losers, and I never Lose!

inchresting characterization moment. she does seem pretty okay with checking bunches of things with Kris

DID THE JOURNAL FACTORY FUCKING EXPLODE???

you said it yourself: you're looking to vent it LITERALLY ANYWHERE

so vent it somewhere private. or at least not literally aimed AT another person, a total stranger at that

Like, this reblogger sounds so insanely self centered in their reblog. notice how both options focus on how being rude would affect THEM. "B has no consequences for me so it's perfectly fine to do"

just a normal spanish study group

(hope this is relevant to the group) So I had a lot of fun with the process of making my latest Cherik drawing (this one:)

So I decided to share the process with you guys, in hopes that someone might find it informative, interesting, amusing, or sexually arousing. whatevs. There’s plenty of tutorials discussing figure drawing, but too few discuss the various ways of researching and finding the pose. so, here’s how I do it. also this is fun as fuck. :)

Without further ado:

*link to the gif i was inspired by, in case anyone has managed to miss it. :P ** You may notice that these sketches are rough and often downright UGLY. I left them in their lopsided glory on purpose, so that people see that there’s no shame in sketching “ugly”. Even if your initial sketch might look ugly to you, it’s ok, it’s even GREAT, and it can turn into something polished and pretty - cuz it’s all part of learning.

Absolutely not. This pressure to “be in control”, “‘maintain the illusion” and “be a magician” style advice is precisely why people are terrified to GM.

You have one job as a GM at the table. ONE. Play your NPCs and other situation elements with the same earnestness as the players play their PCs. That’s it.

The “plot” is what happens when your toys and their toys meet and uncertainties between them are resolved via the game at hand.

You are not responsible for anyone’s fun.

You are not responsible for anyone’s entertainment.

You are not there to stroke the players egos or service their fantasies or “story beats” or whatever self-insert wish fulfillment BS they have projected onto their characters.

Gambling operations like 'Predictive Markets' like Kalshi, sports betting, gacha games, and other gambling platforms have been heavily pushed at men (redpill/manosphere spaces especially are heavily sponsored by gambling companies) and now that a lot of men are hooked these operations will probably be targeting women as a demographic soon too. If Andra's (creator above) experience is accurate for other influencers, a lot of influencers with high percentages of women in their audience will be approached to push gambling (personally I'll be on the lookout for who's promoting gambling in the next 6-12 months).

Blind boxes, gacha games, and loot boxes have also gotten pushed out to all age demographics (see: Labubus) so if you have kids our young people in your life I'd also be checking in on them because gambling issues really can sneak up on you fast.
