this might be a bold statement but I think one of the best character designs to exist in television is salem saberhagen, a warlock punished for trying to take over the world & forced to live as a cat for a 100 years, who spends his penance being a bitchy little drama queen who causes constant trouble and cries a lotÂ
the fun thing about the vastness of skyrim is that every new save you make is unique in its own way! for example my current save likes to crash whenever i cross a stone bridge. i can go UNDER the bridge. or next to it. those things just do not like my gay little elf feet touching them directly
if people are liking this i want to hear stories about the very and oddly specific ways todd has tried to nerf you i know in the last 10+ years it aint just me
literally every single reply to this post is golden but i needed to highlight the extremely cursed ones thank you
So the lighting in FFXIV makes it really hard to tell skintones apart sometimes, I feel like it drops the contrast on a lot of the mid-to-light tones so you can’t easily differentiate in screenshots? I was having a lot of “that can’t be right” moments looking at screenshots while trying to draw my character next to NPCs that I was pretty sure were lighter than them, so I decided fuck it I’ll map out NPC skintones to the character creator palettes so I can tell how far apart different characters ought to be. More notes and also Viera/Hrothgar under the cut so this doesn’t get too long:
Blake: Being a girl in love with a girl is not always cute or romantic or soft or tender. Sometimes it’s pushing your girlfriend’s face away yelling because you have viral bronchitis and she keeps trying to kiss you knowing this because she has no sense of self-preservation.

Blake: Update: She got bronchitis! You’ll never guess how.
