This Website’s Easy Watch. *dangles A Bunch Of Greek Gods Like Keys*

the campaign I ran this past year (ended now due to scheduling conflicts) had 2 warlocks with the Eldritch concept of a frog beyond human comprehension as a patron.

the Erdrich blasts were the frog licking the enemy with his long tongue.

Less Impressive Warlock Patrons

A metric fuckton of quasits who collectively add up to the power of one balor.

Mid tier internet celebrity who gives you instructions in the form of 3 hour video essays. That's how their eldritch blasts work too, incidentally.

Another Warlock! See, if you become patron to 10 warlocks, who become patrons to...

The Algorithm.

Keir Starmer

A really big guy. I know, I know, he doesn't sound like a patron, but you don't understand. He's really big.

Blorbo (From your show)

The Bit

The lifepath system from Traveller.

Undying Patron who's a gestalt of the souls of every monster you kill, that's why you get EXP from killing things.

1/1000th of a pact with a 1000 different patrons at once.

"Powerful Fiend" no-one else has heard of who bears a distinct resemblance to the warlock wearing a halloween devil costume. Odd that!

I actually have hidden a Slenderman mini on every map of my virtual tabletop I’m planning to use for my next campaign. The plan is to wait until the players notice, and then act like I didn’t put it there.

Put the Slender Man in your campaign.

Look, I know, he's old news, but have a heart! He last got work like ten years ago, and he just needs one solid gig to get him back on his feet. He can still do the static thing, you know! Remember that? That was so cool in 2009! Everyone loved the static thing, right?

He doesn't have to be the Big Bad or anything, he'll settle for being a mook or random encounter. He spends all his time rewatching Marble Hornets and crying these days, just give him a cameo or something. One last hurrah for the guy who used to be the Big Name of internet horror. What do you say?

Sooo…. I’ve been thinking on it, and so, in the original fairy tale the lindworm has a twin brother, and that slot could be taken up by moonjumper, who would be wanting to adopt bow (leading snatcher to get jealous and start up the main conflict) the witch who ultimately causes AND helps solve the whole giant dragon worm thing could be several people, but the ones I’ve narrowed it down to is Vanessa, Cooking Cat, or the Florist, but Vanessa could be well suited for one of the people the lindworm eats, cooking cat could very well suit the helpful maid, and the florist could be hat kid’s relative (aunt?) who she lived with before becoming prospective monster chow. Of course, all this is my own opinion, and if you’ve got something else I would be more than willing to listen!

If all of this made no sense to you, the people over at Overly Sarcastic Productions on YouTube did pretty good coverage on the Prince Lindworm myth, and there are also several good interpretations on ao3.

I think that a really cool au idea for a hat in time would be one based on the prince lindworm fairytale. Maybe not romantic, but there’s some dadcher potential… like it’s a story about a worm monster with no back legs who is secretly a prince who becomes human through the power of love/being hit with a really big stick, so I think that would be neat to do something with. I’m nowhere near talented enough to do anything with it though lol

Lmao

Spent all of class coming up with this instead of taking notes. Enjoy

Edit: part 2 in the notes

(Transcribed under the cut)

gravity falls human bill AU where bill comes back as a human except instead of dropping in at the mystery shack, he appears outside of mabel and dipper’s house in piedmont

dipper and mabel have So Much explaining to do

their parents want to call the cops but mabel and dipper are like NO. DONT.

we canNOT let anyone know he’s here and alive. actually we might have to kill him.

parents, hearing their thirteen year olds casually discuss murder: WHAT

theyre like “we have to call the grunkles” and the parents are ?? plural? grunkleS?

then they have to back up nd explain ford

and all of that

this whole time bill is tied to a kitchen chair all gagged and blindfolded and yelling in annoyance

mabel and dipper are ignoring him and the parents are Very Much Not Ignoring Him

they call the grunkles and explain the situation and the parents hear a twin WHAT followed by a lot of yelling and swearing and crashing and then stan says “okay we’ll be there by tomorrow love you kids STAY SAFE BYE”

dipper: wait. if they’re getting here tomorrow then… what do we do with Bill in the meantime?

mabel, behind him holding a frying pan: i have an idea

parents: NO

they ungag him and it’s like. dipper and mabel armed with grappling hook + baseball bat plus their parents standing behind them trying to figure out if a) their kids are having a mental break and b) if they just kidnapped some random dude

these concerns are quickly allayed when bill starts threatening to kill everyone really loudly and graphically

then suddenly dipper is like. wait. if you could kill us by ripping our skin off our bones limb by limb…. why haven’t you don’t that already

bill:

Dipper:

bill:

dipper: ARE YOU POWERLESS

bill: nO-

mabel gets him with the frying pan

I'm so tired of living this way (← girl that will never do anything to change her way of living because breaking the routine scares her more than anything)

i'm making a brand new, unbearable wizard quiz

:) thanks I needed to hear this

hey. don't cry. I went to Mad At You island and none of your friends were there :)

And here it is! My first fully completed Procreate Dreams animation. I used audio from one of Technoblade’s more famous rants during his Potato War series. I love Technoblade and miss him every day, so I hope that I was able to capture the magic of his energy in my animation.

I animated the roughs and drew the backgrounds in Procreate, but then I imported that into Dreams to do all the cleanup. It runs at 24 fps, but there’s a lot of variations to spice it up in there.

I wanted to really challenge myself so there’s a LOT going on in this short 9 second clip. There’s a camera move with multiple layers to achieve a subtle parallax scroll, there’s two lighting changes with one being a completely animated shadow layer, and there’s a warp effect on the curtains for when it opens and closes.

There’s still a lot that could be cleaned up. Some of the linework is a little more jittery than I would prefer, and the coloring process was awful. Every color was its own separate layer, which was exhausting to do. I really hope i can figure out a faster and easier way to do the coloring process because that took me over a week to complete! Yikes!

Overall I’m extremely proud of my work here. I’ve been working on this 9 second clip since Dreams released and I really wanted to showcase to everyone just how powerful Dreams is. I know a lot of people were complaining about it when it released and I wanted to do something to help reorient people’s expectations. I genuinely cannot believe that I did all of this on my iPad!

If anyone has any questions or would like to see a breakdown of this animation, please feel free to contact me!

And remember… Technoblade never dies!

(about this guy)

a kiln god is a small clay sculptural creature that stays on/in/near a kiln while it’s firing, to watch over the pottery inside and protect it

mine are all vaguely humanoid and holding pottery, but they can be anything

a lot of people leave their kiln gods unglazed, and only ever make one or two. because I work with a shared kiln, my kiln gods have to be inside the kiln so they don’t get bumped or broken, so it makes more sense to glaze them and keep making more

(^this one I kept, she lives on my pottery desk)

people have lots of little traditions around kilns and pottery. there are so many variables to successfully finishing a piece of pottery, and many of the steps are out of our control. it’s nice to have a kiln god watching over our work

if you take a pottery class, your teacher might mention the kiln gods. for some potters/studios they’re more of a concept than anything physical

what can I say, humans just love to make little guys
