My latest sticker sheet, which of these do you relate to?
(A few of these remaining!)
I saw a post saying that Boromir looked too scruffy in FotR for a Captain of Gondor, and I tried to move on, but I’m hyperfixating. Has anyone ever solo backpacked? I have. By the end, not only did I look like shit, but by day two I was talking to myself. On another occasion I did fourteen days’ backcountry as the lone woman in a group of twelve men, no showers, no deodorant, and brother, by the end of that we were all EXTREMELY feral. You think we looked like heirs to the throne of anywhere? We were thirteen wolverines in ripstop.
My boy Boromir? Spent FOUR MONTHS in the wilderness! Alone! No roads! High floods! His horse died! I’m amazed he showed up to Imladris wearing clothes, let alone with a decent haircut. I’m fully convinced that he left Gondor looking like Richard Sharpe being presented to the Prince Regent in 1813
*electric guitar riff*
And then rocked up to Imladris a hundred ten days later like
Some people have been wondering about the raccoon. Listen. Listennn. Don’t ask about the raccoon.
But does the racoon survive the Uruk-Hai? Does he curl up on Aragorn’s head, or does he go straight to Faramir? Does he bite Denethor?
My friend. My colleague. My brother my captain my king. I too have been pondering this question, and in my mind there can be only one ultimate outcome.
A few months later
All hail the High Warden of Gondor.
Epilogue: It ADORES Faramir.
Hi Neil! I saw your reblogged post about book banning and censorship. One of the points was that the one and only reason a book should be removed is if it’s restricted for intending harm. I am a librarian, and hoping you can promote an addition, which is, weeding in libraries is a necessary thing! Books are going to get removed and recycled, and it’s not censorship, it’s spring cleaning. I am a librarian and have seen colleagues called book burners for deaccessioning books that are falling apart or have outdated information. Libraries need to weed, and we need the support of the public in these terrifying times where people DO want us to remove books for absolutely no justifiable reason. So I hope this message can be seen by the broader public, and I urge them to stand by their local librarians and not panic if they see some old romance novels in the recycling bin out back.
Realized I never posted this drawing I did of General Sarris on here.
I did it a few months ago. It’s unfinished, but it was the first thing that I did after years. Took me FOREVER to get it to this stage. Like, months. I really struggled to work on it consistently. It’s not like I’m drawing every day now, but I feel like doing it a lot more often than before.
a DnD item that should exist:
the Brown Bag of Plenty
The Brown Bag of Plenty looks like an ordinary brown paper sack lunch. Once per day, a PC may use it to provide a healthy and nutritious lunch to each member of the party. All lunches consist of the following (with substitutions for allergies and other dietary restrictions):
- One peanut butter (or other nut butter in case of allergy) and jelly sandwich on wheat bread. Type of jam is randomized, with grape and strawberry most common. Sandwich will be cut diagonally.
- One juice box, also randomized.
- One bunch green grapes
- One packet carrot sticks
- One packet crunchy snack food (most commonly potato chips, but flavors are randomized and other types of chips, crackers, veggie puffs, popcorn, etc are also possible)
- One packet cookies (most commonly chocolate chip or Oreo-like sandwich cookie)
Eating a lunch from the Brown Bag of Plenty will restore 1d6 hit points for each item consumed. This effect will not take place unless the fresh fruit and vegetables are eaten — i.e., eating the cookies alone will have no effect, but after eating the grapes and carrot sticks 3d6 hit points may be restored.
If the PC enters a body of water within 45 minutes of consuming a lunch from the Brown Bag of Plenty, they will lose 1d6 hit points for each item consumed.
In addition to providing 1 healthy lunch per character per day, the Brown Bag of Plenty will also dispense orange slices (2 per PC) after combat, with the same 1d6 effect as its lunches.
@notemily, I recognize this one! It’s really funny, while somehow weirdly in character? If soulmate geese were remotely reasonable… I think you might like it. No Matter What I Do I Feel The Pain (With or Without Goose) https://archiveofourown.org/works/18602590
