people talk all the time about “primal instincts” and it’s usually about violence or sexual temptations or something, but your humanity comes with a lot of different stuff that we do without really thinking about, that we do without being told to or prompted to
your average human comes pre-installed with instincts to:
Befriend
Tell story
Make Thing
Investigate
Share knowledge
Laugh
Sing
Dance
Empathize with
Create
we are chalk full of survival instincts that revolve around connecting to others (dog-shaped others, robot-shaped, sometimes even plant-shaped) and making things with our hands
your primal instincts are not bathed in blood- they are layered in people telling stories to each other around a fire over and over and putting devices together through trial and error over and over and reaching for someone and something every moment of the way
I think they should make a fighting game where all of the characters are from the public domain
"Facing you, is death"
Hello, I'm finally back to tumblr!
Time to share my most recent fanarts here as well!
Jester is my favourite character from campaign 2 (tied with Essek) and that moment has been stuck in my mind forever...
Today I had enough time to paint my version of it.
Let me know what you think!
The Wild Hunt (tumblr post)
My art for The Wild Hunt, in collaboration with @sparxwrites. I had a lot of fun working on this : )
Like whump? Like Percy? Like badassery, or have a hankering for an epic c1 oneshot? If any of these qualifiers catch your attention, this is the story for you!
I don't know who needs to hear this but you don't need to expose every single facet of yourself online. There is no inherent requirement for you to be 100% transparent about your personal life and yourself in your online presence. Your online persona is a curtain, and it can be as thin or as thick as you're comfortable with. You can share your chosen name and leave it at that, and there's nothing wrong with that. Don't let people bully you into thinking you need to share all your intimate details, wants, needs, diagnoses, because you don't. There is no bare minimum, you can share nothing and that is completely acceptable.
This is your internet stage show and you're in charge of the curtain. Both the material it's made of, and how far up it goes. Remember that.

The creature that wants to kill you will not growl.
The function of a growl is as a warning. It is a communication that violence is available as a tool, but is not preferred. Other outcomes, besides your death, are available and should be considered.
But the creature that wants to kill you will not growl.
If your death is the goal, then growling will only serve as a delay and may result in your escape, which runs counter to the goal. There will be no growl, no warning. There will be no snarl or hiss or bluster. The creature that bares its teeth with the intent to kill only does so to bring closer its fangs to your demise.
The creature that growls does not want to kill you, but will if it must.
I advise you to appreciate the warning. You may not receive another.
