Mug Translation: “Even We Can’t Fix Stupid”

“You weren’t loyal to me…I was one of you. You may have forgotten, but I haven’t.” 

Gazing down at a holopad with the image of his squad all huddled together, it all comes flooding back to him. Not that he ever really forgot. They were…’Happier’ times…Right? If he truly cared as little as he claimed, why does it hurt so much?

You’ve seen Rex cry. Now it’s time to see this grumpy twig cry. (I’m actually very emotional towards him and making this deeply hurt my soul.) Newest painting that I’ve had so much fun making. I love TBB, and so I had to dedicate something to the most complicated and love-hate character in the series. 

I am suffering and now you must as well.

I don't create characters on purpose, I listen to a single song and let the character concept scratch and claw its way out of my bones.

Things I, as a fantasy writer, want to see more of in fantasy stories:

- Natural disasters other than A Big Storm (seriously man, why do we almost never see tsunamis, tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, and forest fires in fantasy? Maybe you'll get an avalanche in a cold setting but there's way more natural disasters to play with than just storms.)

- Radiation (think about it, uranium as a spell component and lead as an armor against the Dark Power That Unravels Your Body Over Time, mages who specialize in radioactive magic being mutilated and sickened by their own craft)

- Picky eaters (in a genre often defined by the food, what happens if you aren't much of an eater? You might see a picky eater as a Particularly Spoiled Royal Who Only Eats The Finest Wine And Cheese, but what do you do if you're a peasant who can barely afford a few potatoes, but your kids don't like potatoes and won't eat them? What if you're an adventurer and you're all out of pre-packed rations and the only thing you have to eat is giant bug meat, but that's too revolting to consider?)

- Animal companions that are farm animals (especially when most fantasy is based on agrarian Medieval Europe, it makes way more sense for the Peasant Child Turned Chosen Hero to have a pig or chicken or hound as a companion than a falcon or wolf or lion)

- Disabilities that can't be healed by magic, but can be adapted by it (maybe a wizard can't restore your failing vision, but they can give you enchanted glasses that never get dirty and let you see in the dark. Or maybe your traumatic memories can't be erased with a spell, but an alchemist can make you a potion that prevents nightmares. A mage can't regrow your arm, but they can transfigure your suit of armor into a new one.)

- "Feminine" jobs/crafts that are important to the plot (such as weaving/embroidery being used to create spells, a dressmaker who has to create all the disguises for a group of adventurers sneaking into an enemy castle, a florist/herbalist making powerful potions with the flowers they grow, The Power Of A Mother's Love, and such)

Crosshair: It’s against my moral compass.

Hunter: Your fucking moral compass is a ROULETTE WHEEL!

having a freeze response to stress is so funny in the context of normal adult stressors. millions of years of evolution are trying to tell me that the email will not find me if i stay very still and do nothing
