THERE IS ONLY NOW

and it applies to so much!!!! i try to take whatever i’m beating myself up over, like “i haven’t been eating enough veggies lately so i suck as a human,” and instead reframe it as “my body deserves all the important nutrients found in vegetables” and suddenly i’m ten billion times more inclined to actually prioritize eating more veggies

The term “pretty boy” is incredibly loaded given it’s history of being used to call someone gay, but there are times when I want to use the term “pretty” in reference to a man, goddamn it!

Sometimes I don’t mean a handsome man, I mean a beautiful man, and I want the word to mean more than “feminine features”.

In my mind, listing just four categories of the many, many possible descriptiors of people should go as follows:

Pretty should mean flow-y and appealing

Cute should mean youthful and charming

Beautiful should mean mature and elegant

Handsome should mean hard edged and striking

People killed: around three quarters of a million.

My hc of a younger Minthara «puppy eyes» Baenre based on her early access version. I imagine she was also a very different person to when we first meet her in the game.

She seemed a bit more "open-minded" (for lolthite drow standarts) at times and that's how I imagine she used to be long ago, until her abusive mother molded her into someone who presents and acts in a way more befitting a proper daughter of house Baenre.

I emphasise a lot on Skjære's relationship with his father because I set his upbringing as a foil to Minthara and her mother.
