I am surprised to find that - outside of two incidents in which victorious Hussites were complete bastards to everyone, Jews included - my usual expectation of medieval Europe and what we're told about it doesn't actually apply to the Hussite Wars. And I can therefore persist in oversimplifying them, of course.

#drawing today wasn’t intended as vent art - originally I’d wanted to draw a ghoul lord inviting a wizard to an apparently feast, and she’d dispel the illusion to reveal body parts and entrails. This isn’t my usual deal. CW for drawn parts of corpses.

occasionally I think I'm superhuman right up until something triggers me and it's ridiculously easy to trigger me.

@erin_kitsune points out that I'm not human, but then neither's Superman and *he's* described as superhuman.

@Kusimanse It's BEAUTIFUL. Also, stay for the credits; there's a little outtake at the end but the credits themselves have little animations of the animals.

VAUBAN! is the onomatopoeia for “constructing a star fort for siege warfare,” which is why it doesn’t surface in comics very often.

Also here are #drawings from Friday, posting Saturday felt wrong.

@ziphi look that trebuchet was a GOOD IDEA.

“This is dedicated to those who take fate into thei” my dudes you aren’t Elevating the Human Spirit on Our Way to the Stars, you’re selling pricey cars to people who can’t figure out turn signals.

trying to remember there's no duality and so sadness over people I'm no longer in touch with online - and I often fear the worst - and days past, *can* coexist with good things now and even good days ahead.

@Ylfingr Cool!

So I got to see The Wild Robot. Visually it's gorgeous, and predictably I wound up weeping at points, but the story's kind of disjointed. It's sort of like Dreamworks trying to make a Studio Ghibli film so there are places they pull punches and it feels disingenuous where a Miyazaki film would hurt like hell.

The initial storyline about a stranded robot and her fox companion moving from taking care of an orphaned gosling until he can survive by migrating during the winter REALLY works. The robot's just seeking a meaningful task, the fox trying a new scam, and the gosling is limited by being a runt, and all of them actually grow beyond their "programming."

Then there's an added storyline about the gosling becoming some sort of brave goose leader and the island's animals joining together during a terrible snowstorm, then to help the robot fight agents of her less than altruistic manufacturer when they come to retrieve her, and afterwards the animals are united by those experiences, and it's just a little *too* happy an ending and sort of misses with me if that makes sense.

Have a #drawing from today!

@CoyoteTraveller Thanks!

@CoyoteTraveller noodles were pretty good, haven't tried the pork chops yet!

made enough spicy noodles with bok choy for a lunch later this week and most of lunch/breakfast today. Baked a couple of breaded pork chops for later.

plan now is to take a nap, watch a movie intended for a much younger audience and probably cry about it, idk about the rest of the evening.

Colored one #drawing today using some new know-how about the fill tool, which shaved about an hour off the process. Coloring something with one very bright lightsource took a *lot* more time than I figured on initially.

oh man this character ROCKS! Not quite good enough for 1e bard but this is definitely multiclass material

instinctively raising a non-extant lightsaber in front of my face in salute whenever the Force Theme plays

even more ridiculous when it's the ska version

let's just say Obi-Wan's death had a profound effect on me as a kid

@CoyoteTraveller The title sequence has the party face Tiamat herself, it's a take on https://clydecaldwell.com/product/dragons-of-triumph-giclee-print/ - which pretty much anyone into D&D at the time would recognize instantly -

and then of course, since she isn't even in the series, they of course never fight her!

@CoyoteTraveller you are, but you might not choose to do so anyway. Personally I’m hoping to a showdown with Tiamat exactly like what we didn’t get in Lodoss War.
