I'm In My Sisyphus Era But I'm Pretty Sure I'm Almost Out Of It

Howling ghosts they reappear In mountains that are stacked with fear But you're a king and I'm a lionheart

And in the sea that's painted black Creatures lurk below the deck But you're a king and I'm a lionheart

A year after Age of Calamity and I am still not over these fish siblings.

I wanted to make a storyboard of these two based on the song King and Lionheart by Monsters and Men, but knowing my own procrastinating ass I settled for a scene redraw instead. Even then the sketch sat in my folder for two months before I finally found time to render it.

Sooo I heard there was some demand for more shartwolf

Union

Fate decreed they be joined. Fate doomed both of them.

Last year I visited a museum where there was an ancient sceptre on display. On it was the carving of a bird and a fish pieced together by an arrow; apparently a symbol for the conjugation of two previously warring tribes.

I decided to borrow the motif for my two shapeshifter characters, make it into a twist on the "red string of fate" trope.

Spoilers for BG3 epilogue (datamined dialogue)

Was anybody going to tell me that if an origin Karlach goes to Avernus with a romanced Lae'zel, they end up hatching the Gith egg and carry the baby around in a PORTABLE HOLE while hunting devils or am I just supposed to find out from the datamine myself

have you ever heard of hunter the vigil?

I haven’t before but it looks like a really cool system! Honestly my experience with TRPGs is quite limited to DnD 5e and a single session of Call of Cthulhu I played years ago. It is always fun to see the how different settings do things though :)

Nothing to see here just some rando big cats :)

TFW you learn those two are voiced by the same person

In mine and many other east Asian cultures, the dragon traditionally symbolises things like power, wealth and strength (imperial symbol and all)

I think we often forget that in the story of the Great Race, the dragon came in fifth because it'd stopped to give people rain. Then it'd stopped again to push a rabbit adrift on a log across the wide river so it reached the shore safely (that's why the Rabbit year comes before the Dragon).

Dragons aren't meant to just be powerful - they are meant to do good with such power, and to help those in need.

So in this lunar new year, I hope you gain more power, so that you might be able to help others. I pray you have abundant resources so you may give to yourself and those around you. I wish you courage, endurance, kindness and generosity, for yourself and your people.

I hope you, and I, will be rain givers, life preservers, joy bringers.

I hope we will be dragons.
