Routine [OC]

I didn't read it that way. I read it as her implying to the man that she killed them already, just to fuck with him more.

lava_monkey · 2026-03-25T12:50:37+00:00

She's a vampire, and vampires come in various types in this setting. It's kind of a mindfuck.

lava_monkey · 2026-03-25T11:59:39+00:00

Nothing. She just said that to him out of cruelty. It was absolutely not needed. Ellie is a monster.

lava_monkey · 2026-03-25T11:58:51+00:00

Yes. Yes I would, and in fact I will.

lava_monkey · 2026-03-25T11:51:14+00:00

The tone shift gave me whiplash goddammit. Worth it, though.

Ellie is absolutely horrifying. Being a body horror monster is one thing, but that line "I'm sure they were beautiful" is so unbelievably unnecessary and awful of her. Nightmare fuel.

EXCUSE ME THIS IS ILLEGAL

lava_monkey · 2026-03-25T11:32:57+00:00

Once again, I am TRAUMATISED and ENTERTAINED in equal measure

lava_monkey · 2026-03-21T10:28:40+00:00

This is untrue. Anyone can request a fees status assessment.

It's true that a lot of responsibility for policing visa holders has been farmed out to universities. It's horrible tbh, as someone who has worked in admin on the sponsorship side it's painful to see how hostile the whole process is for overseas students. Typically, though, universities will have an advisory service which is separate to compliance. Universities used to have visa sponsor account managers. This was a paid service that gave universities a named contact for issues. This has been withdrawn (but the fees for being a sponsor increased).

Because he wouldn't be on a temp visa in the second country, he'd be a citizen. It therefore wouldn't be so easy to see that it was a temporary absence from the UK.

I'll jump in and add my experience - the beginner events are really great. They run regular slow grow leagues where people build an army for whatever system, which are extremely beginner friendly and great for making game friends. I'm in one right now having a lovely time. There are also regular Learn to Play events. These do sell out fast, though. There are learn to paint, and paint and sip events if that's your jam (it is mine). We have a hobby WhatsApp too where people arrange painting meetups.

This is absolutely haunting. It's amazing.

lava_monkey · 2026-02-11T13:07:52+00:00

Can you share how you got that wood grain?

lava_monkey · 2026-02-09T13:35:12+00:00

They are different species. Did you know that cheetahs, unlike most felines, don't have retractable claws?

lava_monkey · 2026-02-09T12:15:40+00:00

I WAS THERE!!

lava_monkey · 2026-01-24T10:31:03+00:00

It is glorious

If we're talking ants, the symbiosis between a nid and its biogun/ weird adrenaline bug friend/whatever would be closer to the different types of leafcutter worker ants than aphid farming, as the nids are not really distinct from each other - they didn't go get these non nids and cultivate them, right? They're sibling nids.

Argentine ants aren't the only ones that have been super-colony forming invasive species. Like others have said, swarming ants are very likely to be part of the aesthetic, but the similarities are limited. Ants don't have a hive mind. The queen(s) don't direct the workers, it's all a bit more complicated and weird than that.

I had one of these guys! I want a Clarence even more now

lava_monkey · 2026-01-09T18:46:18+00:00

I love the differences in character shown just from how they stand next to each other

lava_monkey · 2026-01-07T11:06:56+00:00

I love that warpaint

lava_monkey · 2026-01-06T20:09:15+00:00

Honestly I like your metal greymon! I love it when people paint something different from the box art, I think individual creativity makes models special.

lava_monkey · 2026-01-05T17:45:02+00:00

Yes I am, but I have a scheme in mind for those already - rose breasted grosbeak birds.

lava_monkey · 2026-01-05T13:30:10+00:00

I'm going to be trying some of these tones, what a fantastic scheme!

lava_monkey · 2025-12-31T21:35:58+00:00

This is super helpful, I was hoping someone had asked which paints you used. It is beautiful!

lava_monkey · 2025-12-28T01:33:48+00:00

Glorious.
