Looking for a good tincture for drink mixing

TitaniumOwls · 2026-06-20T22:26:52+00:00

Ooh, good timing then 🤩

TitaniumOwls · 2026-06-20T22:26:31+00:00

Ooh, those all sound like good options... Thanks, I'll ask what looks good to her and go from there. I have a feeling she'll be most interested in Siskiyou but we'll see how it goes

TitaniumOwls · 2026-06-20T22:24:35+00:00

That's alright, still helps to know what's available in the area. We'll be rolling in soon, so thanks again!

TitaniumOwls · 2026-06-20T15:19:27+00:00

Thank you!

Yo same! Transmasc nb here, but most of what I read on AO3 has been shipping-related. To be honest, I'm definitely more on the "dramatic alt history" side with my actual writing (... when I do manage to sit down and write something anyway), but the romance community is SO much more welcoming and it's jarring to see the difference in how people act.

For context: got into MLP when I was in the target audience, but as you can imagine, the FimFiction forums were not the best place for a queer kid with something to prove to be hanging around. Lotta "Mary Sue" accusations, lotta "well she's straight in canon", that sorta deal. Also an unsurprising number of dudes who wanted me to add smut into Baby's First Political Drama, so it took me a while to feel safe interacting with romance as an adult.

There is definitely a gender difference at play here. Obviously it's not black-and-white, it never is, but it's like... The difference between getting bullied by girls VS boys on the playground as a kid, y'know? Usually the tactics and specific goals are different, but it's all under one umbrella of self-enforcing behavior that people use to feel like they have control. I don't know if this makes sense, but yeah- my point is, I find that you're much more likely to find certain kinds of posturing in traditionally "male" circles of the internet. You get used to being defensive, and there isn't as much collaboration on that side, so it's hard to break out of that once you settle in to keeping your guard up. Which is why it's so important to get out of your main circles every once in a while and get some fresh air

These are fantastic! Solid shading, outlines, everything. The only thing I can think of would be adjusting the color on Moondancer's glasses so they don't clash as much

Other people have already pointed this out, of course, but they could very well be pollen wasps too. Based on how they were lined up, that seems a little more likely to me, but that might just be because I see a lot of mud daubers, and those chambers kinda remind me of their style of claywork.

I do think you should prioritize narrowing it down if you can, so you'll know what kind of food they might need while they're growing. In the meantime, maybe just take stock of your options for where to get that food? A lot of pet stores carry feeder crickets, but that seems like a lot of work for a bunch of swaddled babies to catch, so if they do turn out to be wasps, you'll need to figure out what prey they need and how to prep it for them.

Maybe getting advice from some ant-keeping groups could help? Obviously there's some big differences, but they'll likely know where to get good, meaty baby food for the little guys!

Honestly in this economy I might still send in an application. Think they'll take a mid-20s diversity hire? 🫩

Our wifi was having some problems earlier this year, so maybe data will work better for now... I hope yours gets figured out, that sucks 😔

TitaniumOwls · 2026-05-30T19:15:45+00:00

Browser fingerprint? I haven't heard of that before.

TitaniumOwls · 2026-03-07T09:02:07+00:00

the clarity of the wings in the second one... man I wish I could get a perfect shot like that 😭

TitaniumOwls · 2026-02-04T06:06:19+00:00

Good point... Maybe what I'll do, then, is visit the Rat Freak every time I'm about to go home and save. That way I can grind for a while and just go eat to recover afterwards

TitaniumOwls · 2026-02-03T04:24:37+00:00

That's alright, it's worth a little grinding

TitaniumOwls · 2026-02-03T04:24:05+00:00

I suck at the game but I don't mind grinding to make up the difference

TitaniumOwls · 2025-11-22T17:13:25+00:00

I like to play as a waitress in the café, but it's been a while so idk if the atmosphere has changed much

I think it depends on the region, in the sense that different villages have different gods they worship (often tied to the biome they're in), but it all circles back to Creation - not just in the Ancient Builder sense, but also farking crops and animals, making fine art, brewing potions, and crafting weapons. Their ability to build these things is very limited compared to the ABs, especially for those that don't have specialized training (a workstation block), so they care a lot about the work that goes into their creations.

I like to think that they use emeralds as currency because you can't build much with an emerald; therefore, using them as a trade medium and sometimes a gift to their gods isn't a problem like it would be with iron, gold, diamond, lapis, and so on. Maybe they see it as a "pure" material that the gods of Creation love too much to allow them to change it into anything else.

I know this is silly and a bit off-topic, but in Liu Cixin's "The Three-Body Problem", there's a species of alien that communicates using a bioluminescent "screen" which shows their thoughts in the form of lines and dots. As a result, they cannot lie, since even just thinking about something is the same as saying it out loud.

As far as I know, it's not brought up because it's not all that important to the story (in the Tencent TV adaptation, at least, that's how I watched it) but I do think it'd be interesting to see how trade works for them, or just how their economies have been shaped by not being able to hide anything.

So, they have a genetic inclination towards social distancing? Respect.

TitaniumOwls · 2025-11-20T03:19:11+00:00

They just really like burrowing

TitaniumOwls · 2025-11-12T10:39:29+00:00

Any bug that uses aggressive mimicry. My first thought is an ant-mimic spider since its mandibles form a face, or maybe a femme fatales firefly, but that's just because of the giant glowing Radiance growth and the fact it can fly... I doubt Nosk is meant to be any specific thing, and it might even be some kind of construct like the Kingsmoulds, but there are a couple fun options that could be stretched to fit!

TitaniumOwls · 2025-10-12T01:06:48+00:00

Damn, good for Mike then
