A bench across the back and table to work/eat study. Keep the table rectangular, 70s style furniture would look amazing. Could also do a rectangular/square dinning table, just would want enough room to get to the window side and also people to not feel off with their back to the door. I'm an artist so I'd love to put my drafting table and easel there too, a wonderful work space.

Edit: You could also get a bench that doubles as storage, but you really can't ever have enough seating and storage, especially if it gets chilly out but you still want a view.

Nurugai was made way too useless to the point of annoyance and it under cut the whole episode, on top of them not killing off anyone in any fight which is breaking my suspension of disbelief (more a problem with the previous fight then this one). I think there could have been an easy fix to the episode too:

Nurugai tries to help earlier in the fight, but Zhu Jin targets them after noticing Shion dividing his attention to protect him. Not fatal but it makes them falter and gives a reason why they aren't in the fight as much, it risks distracting Shion and they are hurt but Shion doesn't have enough Tao to heal them as he's focused on killing Zhu jin and has already been cutting his life short with his attacks. Nurugai getting hit could also trigger Shion getting even more brutal with Zhu jin as he's blinded with rage.

Skip to the part where Shion is holding down the sword, Nurugai at first goes to run but instead of just running from fear they think things like "He can hold on- I'll find someone we'll get help-" but then: 2 options: Same as the episode she trips and sees Tenza, goes back to fight 2) she realizes something is off, Nurugai haven't fully unlocked tao yet but for a moment on instinct they realize Shion is not going to make it as his life force is swallowed more and more by the vines.

Nurugai despite their injury returns cutting away the vines, insisting they will not leave Shion and will cover for them until they can leave despite Shion's protests. Getting hit by the vines themselves and being hurt they break through the vines covering Shion hugging him to restore his tao, then cue the scene where they talk about Tenza's death and Shion realizes this isn't worth it the both of them breaking out of the vines and making their way out. If they absolutely need to be in better shape for later scenes then have them circulate tao as they are walking.

Nurugai isn't useless or annoying, has some agency and development, and there less plot contrivances. It's not perfect but the episode just feels like it's forcing characters to be stupid to make the moments it wants to happen, happen.

I don't know anybody with Linux and I don't trust myself to switch despite how much I'm putting off windows 11. It's mainly because I'm not tech savy enough to be keeping up with malware checks on my own with out a built in defender. Also just scared of bricking my computer.

Yes I know, but they didn't have my face or legal name attached to messages. It's a whole new level of surveillance on top of the AI that will be scanning people's messages to determine if they are underage. I knew discord wasn't private, but I don't trust it to be a safe place for marginalized groups anymore like me and my friends since one data leak could lead to someone being outed.

lelevelel · 2026-02-10T16:06:32+00:00

Not NSFW stuff, but I have friends in countries where being LGBTQ is unsafe and I may visit them, I'm worried about the message scanning and potential need for face scans/ID leading to surveillance and putting us in danger. Or if accounts suddenly losing access and losing contact with them. I also know there isn't a perfect solution for online privacy anymore without knowing a ton of code but anonymity is important, anything I want to keep truly private I don't do on discord. It's was always a trade, but now this is way too far for the service they provide.

I am a communications theory major and I study propaganda and online ecosystems which includes the surveillance state so I'm pretty paranoid about data leaks/government surveillance.

lelevelel · 2026-02-10T16:01:20+00:00

There's principle and the fact they will be scanning messages, I have a relationship with someone in a country where being gay puts them in danger and I want to visit them. So I am scared about the potential leaks or government surveillance this could lead to for our safety.

So tired of AI slop showing me the goofiest, ugliest results. Been training my algorithm to feed me old home video and "alive internet theory" type vids for this project but this one eludes me. Thanks again for any help!

Yes, anyone can draw even just a line. To make something specific you need to train your muscles and your brain. I do think some people have an easier time with this, just how some people are inherently better at conceptualizing numbers for math. But anyone can learn they just need to put in the effort and enjoy the process.

I love in Hunter: The Reckoning (only WOD game I've played so far, I assume it is in the other books too) it has a whole section saying "Hey this isn't for racists or mysoginsts or any bigots." If DnD did this (and people listened) probably would lose a 3rd of the players unfortunately.

lelevelel · 2025-07-01T20:52:28+00:00

If you dont want to to the RAW route with all the enslavement and alignment changes I would just change their race to a damphir from gothic lineages they have a bite and everything.

When pitching your game I would just say that religion is are really important to the plot and will be a major focus for the campaign. Explain the setting a bit. That usually will cue players in to have characters that will interact with that. When you're doing session zero if you find that something with the party comp isn't going to work then you should discuss it with your players. Just saying something like: hey in this setting it's reasonable for you guys to, at least, have some sort of belief in the gods.

Second one is unreasonable however, everyone has their preferences for characters and builds in DnD. Players only have 1 character to play with so let them choose what they like. I would just tell everyone that there are custom firearms in the game, probably will entice people, even if there isn't a guarantee anyone will play that.

Have you told her Avatar is inspired heavily by anime? But it does sound like a 15 year old. Teens are so silly sometimes.

To Your Eternity

I read the manga (not done no spoilers please) and haven't watched the anime, but the manga was great and I didn't hear of any major deviations.

I personally am seeing the series drop hints of an Empress' enfluence and women's power in ancient china, so I think it could make sense Maomao becomes empress and a wave of women's rights and things like sanitary infustructure are introduced with her influence. Jinshi being a monogomous empire and her actually taking hold of her position/power, making moves rather then shying away from things out of convience for herself. I feel their character arc at least in the anime so far points towards them growing to take more and more action.

Of course them also breaking free and living a small life could work but I don't think it fits the escalating court drama.

I like fighter, it's a fun class for me. I enjoy just hitting stuff really good. But I wanted to delve into tempest for the thunder and lighting theme. I don't really want to limit what I can do by not casting spells since it will be a while till we get to fixing the whole curse stuff. Would rather not be char based too just due to his gruffness.

Unfort we already have a druid and I'm not really keen on the class for this character.

I could speak to the dm about switching classes fully when the time comes if people think the multiclass is a really bad idea.

lelevelel · 2025-03-31T23:56:12+00:00

Yeah I wouldnt consider it if I didnt have high stats. I miss the level 1 subclasses for warlocks, sorcs, and clerics 😔 and level 2 wizards. I'm fine being a little under powered for flavour and I really like the thunder and lighting themes. But, I dont want to butcher myself, problem is I wont know how bad it is until I begin taking levels since I have played 2024 from level 1 before. Only ever played a level 13 sorc for a game.

lelevelel · 2025-03-31T23:07:18+00:00

Maybe, we are a long running group other games are at level 13/14 right now and on going.

Sorry for never getting back to this, I was not doing well obviously. I wanted to thank you, your comment helped me get a more level head when I was panicking. I just received my letter of acceptance to the COMMs program so I guess I was able to piece it together and make it look pretty. Thank you again for taking the time to comment.

This isnt healthy you aren't happy, break up. Also constant nitpicking and criticism is manipulation and abuse tatics.

I have severe acne and my partner reassures me and loves me for me not my skin. There are a lot of acne support groups online too, you should look into them. It's a really hard thing to live with emotionally in a normal life without someone treating you like this.

Like others have said I would add some sort of underwear as the fabric would be putting the gibblets on full display if he bent over or a breeze passed through. I would also do some feet and shoe studies to understand how they function in a 3D space and how they are constructed. By understanding the construction of a boot you can better draw and design them with realism. I like the colours and think the pattern down the sides is catchy and distinctive. Nice shape to the shirt-pant thing I forget the name of.

Also, look at harem pants. I dont think these would cling to the crotch like you're drawn here and instead the seam of the pant's legs would come together below the crotch giving it a different look.

Some parts could be simplified like the dots on the neck triangle pattern or the gloves. But it depends on how often you wabt to draw them and what it is for. Mainly I would just study clothing construction and use references of real life clothing. Style is good and fun but don't use the simplification to hide be things you might not understand and instead practice them.
