Self Evident Truths

S. Ross Browne

Ummm…I am so VERY into this right now!

But Black people in period or fantasy settings totally makes the stories unreal.

Also holy shit I love these.

How come I don’t run across this stuff regularly?

Because of racism and the retroactive erasure of POC in Medieval Europe. Pretty much the same reason you almost never see these works of art either unless you’re already looking for them:

Indeed, there have been black people in all strata’s of European society since the middle ages, cos y’know TRADE and SAILORS and THE MOORISH FUCKING EMPIRE. But Yes to all this post.

Mix 4 parts powdered sugar with 1 part baking soda.

Make a mound with the sand. Push a depression into the middle of the sand.

Pour the alcohol or other fuel into the sand to wet it.

Pour the sugar and baking soda mixture into the depression.

Ignite the mound, using a lighter or match.

Lady Zolstice: tumblr/dArt

A lovely anon pointed me towards LadyZolstice’s work, in particular, her modern au Dragon Age characters. I don’t know how many of you know me personally, but if there’s one thing I am head over heals for, it’s modern AUs!

And how utterly gorgeous are these artworks?

What a lovely spin on the Dragon Age characters! They look so ridiculously dapper. You’ve managed to retain a lot of their individuality too. There is just such an abundance of character in your artwork, in their expressions and their poses. I am reminded very much of Disney characters.

You have such a wonderful understanding of these characters’ faces. It is a rare ability to be able to strip them back and simplify them. If one were to remove things like hair and clothing, they would still be unmistakably themselves! But we would never remove their gorgeous clothing and hair, because UNF!

While she does lovely work with NPCs, she also makes brilliant characters of her own: Anjali Mahariel, Sinead Shepard, and Carrick Hawke.

Thank you, LadyZolstice!

Playing Dragon Age I pretty actually fell in love with Alasdair, not I’m swooning ALL OVER AGAIN.

It turns out that if you ask the right questions in just the right way, some men will actually tell you that they're rapists. They'll just…admit it.

The key is, don't use the word rape. Just ask them what they've done.

Researchers asked 1,882 men: "Have you ever tried to have oral sex with someone by using (or threatening to use) physical force—twisting their arm, holding them down, etc.—if they did not cooperate?"

and: "Have you ever had sexual intercourse with someone, even though they didn't want to, because they were too intoxicated to resist your advances?"

120 answered yes.

(That's rape.)

1,882 men…

120 rapists.

They admitted to a total of 483 rapes and attempted rapes. 483!

Whoa.
