So I and my dear spouse were watching LOTR for the 4,783rd time, and when we get to Lorien and Galadriel and Celeborn, he abruptly turns to me and with zero prompting, very seriously, says.

"You know why she's never shown sitting in a throne? It's because her throne is Celeborn's face."

I damn near had to marry that man again on the spot.

systlin

This man really saw Galadriel, legitimately one of the most beautiful and powerful women ever to walk Arda, and then managed to MARRY her and then managed to SURVIVE THE WAR OF WRATH, THE SINKING OF BELERIAND, AND ALL THAT OTHER BULLSHIT while letting Galadriel sit on his face whenever she wanted. Absolutely the luckiest son of a bitch in Middle Earth.

motherfuckingnazgul

canonically they survived all that shit because they got married and then took a honeymoon lasting approx. the entire duration of the remainder of the first age. and fucking good for them. galadriel was seeing the red flags attached to literally everything happening in beleriand in her dreams and got the hell out of dodge.

systlin

Galadriel, looking at all the shit going on in Beleriand; you know what. Nah.

Celeborn; yeah. Yeah.

the prince has begun practicing curtseying in the mirror. which could mean nothing.

heydocverdant

we have good news and bad news, my liege. the good news is that we now know what that curtsying was about: you will be pleased to know that, after several heartfelt conversations between your child, the court jesters and a myriad of singing woodland creatures, you are now the parent of a proud and joyful new princess. the bad news is that, due to a series of events related to the dragon-sized hole in her bedchamber wall,

illmoraineakoi

I love the insinuation that the second the princess realized she was a girl and thus actually a princess, the dragon was there. That thing wasted no time. It heard "princess" and was like "I need no further invitation, here I come."

Gender affirmed by Dragon. Amazing.

Alright, so inspired by @NPurkeypile’s bee post yesterday, here is one of my favorite bits of Skyrim oral history - the myth of the treasure fox.

I’ve told this story before in talks/etc, but I don’t think I’ve shared it with twitter. Here goes.

I have a very rough idea in my head that I don't think I can clearly articulate beyond "And that concludes tonight's reports on German air forc—WHAT'S THIS? IT'S KING ARTHUR WITH A STEEL CHAIR"

the-writers-wrench

IDK what this is about, but I want to know more.

supreme-leader-stoat

This isn't exactly the same idea but it could be but there is more rattling around in here so:

The Blitz here manages to qualify as Britain's Darkest Hour, thus triggering the return of Arthur from the Realm Avalon.

He does not speak a lick of modern English. He speaks an unholy mishmash of Brittonic and Late Classical Latin.

(Honestly I can see the latter becoming a plot point if they manage to get their hands on a Roman Catholic priest to act as a translator. It wouldn't be a perfect arrangement, but probably better than anything else.)

Truthfully he probably gets mistaken for a madman.

Somehow manages to steal a Spitfire out from under the RAF's nose, proceeds to use it to bring down like half an enemy squadron on his own, then lands in a field in the middle of nowhere.

Police and RAF converge on his location on account of the whole "stealing a plane" thing. They eventually overwhelm him with sheer numbers, but he manages to knock out an impressive number of them in the process. I mean, come on. It's Arthur.

leseigneurdufeu

"a catholic priest" i mean yeah sure why not but JRRTOLKIEN himself was alive and a teacher at the time so go big or go home.

supreme-leader-stoat

You know what sure why not let's just make literal real-life JRRT himself a character in this Arthurian return story, he deserves it.

9. 3 is the worst choice btw

teaboot

1-Any of the 3 seats around 1 WILL have bare Gollum ass foot and taint on them at some point. Those seats appear empty but are in fact occupied by his various alternate identities

2- Seems innocent enough, and Frodo will mostly keep to himself, but Sam will absolutely be waking you up getting him granola bars and shit out of their carry-ons. Will also meanmug you if you try to get up to use the bathroom. Gollum will also be leaning in and hanging over your shoulders whenever he takes a break from kicking the seat.

3- Out of the question, unless you are 7-19 year old extrovert and/or have nothing to lose. WILL clap when the plane lands. WILL eat your crackers if you’re asleep when the flight attendant comes around. Very little consideration for personal space.

4- It’ll be a long silent flight and they’ll both be courteous and polite but there will absolutely be a heavy third-wheel sort of tension, like they’re too nice to say anything but would be way happier if you weren’t there. Your only chance is to offer to switch seats so they can hold hands, but Aragorn WILL take a nap at some point and he WILL talk in his sleep. Also, if you switch for the aisle seat you will need to keep in mind that Legolas is absolutely going to recline his own chair directly on top of you.

5- Faramir is a sleep mask and headphones type of guy, and the window will remain closed. Eowyn’s longing glances to the right may be overlooked, but she’s also the type to monologue at increasing volume if you get to chatting and reach a topic she’s passionate about. Seat 5 is my personal choice, as it presents the lowest possible chance of waking up to a makeout sesh on either side OR a missing eyebrow.

6- Depending where the relationship dynamic is at at this point, it’s a coin toss between “Grandpa’s War Stories” and 8 straight hours of “I’m Not Touching You”, “Stop Hitting Yourself” type shenanigans on both sides. Also, putting the Dwarf in the window seat was a bad idea. You KNOW he gets airsick, and placing him in a corner directly between the only three elves was an act of direct biological warfare on the side of the airline.

7- Not the worst choice, as long as you don’t ask any questions about the family. Boromir is the type to share his political opinions at length unprompted, though, and responding in any way will only make it worse.

8- You are not cool enough to sit here.

9- This is an aisle seat, which is good, because you can get up to fake a bathroom visit when the vibes get too bad. Feels like going on a road trip with your dysfunctional parents only for them to announce their turbulent and resentful impending divorce mid way through. When it’s good, Galadriel and Gandalf will lean around you for a catty bitch sesh without you, which will also be bad, but at least you can listen in on the hottest gossip. Only gets worse when the edible Gandalf pops at take-off finally kicks in.

lahore pigeons are some of the most visually appealing birds out there. like in terms of visual design. very minimalist, good contrast.

Too bad Lahore pigeons are a domestic breed and don’t appear in the wild at all. Some equally balanced wild colorations include

Pygmy Falcon

Great Hornbill

Wallcreeper

and

Black-throated Loon

I would like to submit the following additions to the world of exceptional bird color design:

Cedar Waxwing

Red Crowned Crane

Brahminy Kite

Green Tree Swallow (I mean seriously - those are metallic teal feathers against stark white. Damn.)

I’m fond of the Golden Breasted Starling,

the Golden Pheasant,

and the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher.

Allow me to share some of the most beautiful birds from the southern parts of Africa where I lived for a long time.

Introducing the Purple-crested Turaco (the rest of the Turaco family all.have similarly striking red wingtips in flight, although their bodies are much greener and they have white eyestripes)

Sticking with the purple theme, and similar to some of the birds above, the iridescent Violet-backed Starling is next!

Amazing camouflage and a hauntingly beautiful call, the Diederiks Cuckoo is one of the prettiest patchwork birds out there.

Proudly representing Angola, the Angola Pitta is a rare and elusive bird. It is however worth the search!

Next up, we have the beautiful (and tiny) Violet-eared Waxbill.

And my personal favourite (and national board of Kenya!): The Lilac-breasted Roller.

Look! Aren’t they so beautiful?

I love them so much!!!

Some of the beautiful birds in Southern Africa!

I know the subtropical species generally aren’t as colorful but these guys are my neighbors and I love them so much can I get any love for my stripey southwestern bois:

Buteo - Red Hawks

{Tobias from Animorphs}

Geococcyx - Roadrunners {not pictured: Coyote, Anvil}

(THEY CAN FLY THEY JUST PREFER NOT TO)

Aphelocoma - “Scrub Jays” {not true Jays}

(FUN FACT THERE IS NO BLUE PIGMENT IN THEIR FEATHERS ITS SOME SORT OF OPTICS TRICKERY)

Callipepla - California Quail

Does anyone have experience playing (original) 5e artificers? Prepared spells and infusions and eldritch cannon and who knows what else sounds like too much to try and deal with in a normal character sheet, any recommended organisation methods to have all that easily accessible?

cthulioh

A friend shared this post in a local community to see if any of us D&D nerds had any input, so I thought I'd come put my two coppers in. Presuming that you're playing with a paper character sheet instead of on D&D Beyond, shorthand and page references are going to be your best friend. Rather than writing down the full text of your infusion, you could just put the name of the item, (i) at the end, then maybe a page number in Tasha's to refer back to it if you need to. Then you can just modify your character's bonuses directly, applying changes to things like AC, movement speed, attacks etc., and can refer back to the book if you ever need to change it. Things like full lists of prepared spells can be kept for other pages of the character sheet, the main things you should have on the front page are what you think you're most likely to use in a typical adventuring day (especially in combat as that's the main focus of 5e), and never underestimate the power of boiling things down to just the dice and modifiers. Something like "ECannon AC 18 HP 5/5 +2 hit 2d8 force" will go a long way.

Other than that, Artificer is really not that much more difficult than any other spellcasting class when you get into it. It can be intimidating at first, for sure, but I find that as the vast difference in flavour falls away and you get a better sense for the numbers, it becomes much easier to handle like any other class. Hope this helps a little, and best of luck with your artificer!

Edit: Spell cards would be really useful too, if you don't already have them! There are plenty of free, printable sets available on line, and those would let you easily swap in and out your prepared spell lists without worrying about erasing and rewriting them every time.

“Why isnt there a girl version of the ww2/ancient rome/napoleonic war/cold war history boy” one teenage girls are very much interested in those topics as well they just tend to speak up less about it because those spaces are full of misogynist assholes. Two it’s because reporting back from the field the main camps of interest for teenage girls tend to be messy dynastic collapses (the Plantagenets, the Romanovs, Maria Antoinette), what I’m gonna call disaster history (the Titanic, Chernobyl, the triangle shirtwaist factory fire that one is serious business to them), gross wacky medical shit, and most popular of all what I would describe as a naescent desire to get to the heart of all human evil and understand what could motivate it (imperialism, genocide, eugenics).

There are now more female academics/faculty/students/etc in more historically 'male-identified' hist/anth subjects and it's to the fucking better because we get more and different work on topics a lot of people thought got put to bed a while ago, even just taking a whack at new sources. 2018 Appears to be a pivotal year but the shift was decades in the making for female military historians!

In an important article over at Eidolon, Nadejda Williams discusses the visibility of female military historians within the field of ancient

There is a lovely expression in my adoptive home of Georgia: “bless your heart.” It can be used as a genuine expression of sympathy, but…

It is no longer 1980. Women have been producing some of the most innovative scholarship in military history in the past couple of decades. Not all of them would necessarily classify themselves as military historians, but all of them are doing path-breaking work that presents a more complex and nuanced picture of Greek and Roman warfare than one might find in such standard classics of the field as Kendrick Pritchett’s monumental (pace Finley) five-volume tour-de-force The Greek State At War. Overall, I would argue that women’s work on military history, whether ancient or modern, exemplifies the best of what historians now call “New Military History” — the study of war that looks beyond battles and campaigns. Acknowledging that war was a horrific and painful process that affected real people, women’s scholarship on war is much more likely than the scholarship of men to deal with those issues related to suffering and trauma to both combatants and civilians. As a result, also, many women scholars who work on war consider gender issues as they relate to war. Others look at the impact of war on society more broadly. To give just a few examples of great women scholars who are publishing on various aspects of Greek and Roman military history, the folklorist Adrienne Mayor has won a slew of awards for The Amazons: Lives and Legends of Warrior Women across the Ancient World. One of Mayor’s earlier books, Greek Fire, Poison Arrows, and Scorpion Bombs: Biological and Chemical Warfare in the Ancient World, challenges the more traditional narrative of Greek warfare as driven by honor and tradition. I assign it every time I teach Greek and Roman Warfare, and every time, the students say that it is their favorite book in the class.

derinthescarletpescatarian

Can't wait for the field to be 50% women and suddenly become a "girl thing" and not all that serious or important and have men leave the field in droves. It sucks that this happens to every field that women get into (biology, real estate, etc.,) but also I hope to live to see the day when men start saying "ugh, the Roman Empire and World War II are for girls" with full sincerity.

cthulioh

As a military history boy, I in fact desperately hope that more women getting into the field causes an exodus of men. It means more actually cool people to share my interests with, bigots don't deserve any space in anything, and I'd be immensely grateful to no longer get lumped in with fascists and chuds by the Internet.

'Enjoy it despite its flaws' is one thing, but Mass Effect somehow invented its own category: 'simultaneously one of the most flawed and the most well-crafted sci-fi stories I've ever experienced'. These games are incredible. They’re the worst. All the women are sexualized. All the women have deeply flawed and complex personalities without being either demonized or romanticized. The first available f/f ship seems to be written along the guidelines of 'what would a straight man find hot'. As the games go on, they effortlessly include multiple same sex romance options given just as much care and development as the the opposite sex ones. You can play as a xenophobic murderhobo asshole. You can play as someone genuinely caring but also harsh, who inspires growth and co-operation wherever you go but who makes hard choices when you have to. You can kill civilians and punch reporters and commit genocide. You can stop a generational war and mediate peace and save several species from extinction. The robots are stereotypically evil cannon fodder. The robots are deeply complex with a tragic history. Your team mates are assholes with xenophobic opinions or justifications for police brutality and genocide, or they just want excuses to Do Murder. You team mates are deeply flawed and can be urged to grow alongside you. The most important aliens are all humanoids. There are plant aliens and jellyfish aliens and insect aliens and elephant aliens and aliens who can’t share an atmosphere with us. You have to drive around countless identically boring planets with little to show for it. You get to discover hidden secrets and civilisations millions of years old and live through some of the most emotionally harrowing scenes in storytelling history. I am going absolutely insane about it.
