THERE’S A SCORPION ON MY WALL AND DADDY’S IN BED AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
SIR.
SIR.
i”M GOING TO HAVE TO ASK YOU TO LEAVE.
this really helps my insomnia
Staying at my cousins’ house surrounded by the woods made this a fairly common occurance if they hadn’t sprayed the house in too long a time. One night when I was sleeping one of the little yellow bastards native here found its way to my face. I didn’t dare try to touch it and by some miracle kept my resolve not to holler and brush it away. But I had to lay there without a sound while it negotiated the terrain of my face to get to the other side of the room. The moment it left my body I NOPED right the hell out, waking everyone else up.
When we lived in the deserts of Camp Pendelton, California, scorpions and the like were common place as well. One time my dad found one in his shoe and put it in a box to show us (we were small kids), but it kept finding ways out and even burrowed through the cardboard. So he stuck it with one of his combat knives, right in the center.
The bastard fought back. It started walloping the knife STUCK IN ITS GUT with its stinger. 15 years later I can STILL remember that metal on metal sound. Lasted for at least an hour.
Really ugly looking tutorial on how I do the gold-leaf effect in my Dragon Age tarot cards. I hope it’s helpful! Someone asked for liquid gold during the stream, so that’s in there too.
If you use it, do show me your art if you remember, I love seeing other people’s work!
Edit: Forgot to add the link to the brushes! Here it is!
I really want to try and figure out how to do this.
coffee headcanons
dorian: strong, dark blends, no cream or sugar (sometimes puts chili in and/or secretly sneaks five teaspoons of sugar in)
vivienne: refined lighter roasts, cream sometimes
cullen: espresso shots so many espresso shots
leliana: orlesian press, one lump of sugar, light cream
cass and josie: cream and sugar (less sugar for josie, more for cass)
varric: the shittier the better, he loves when there's actual grounds in his mug
cole: strong, hot and bitter, it's a brand new experience for him and he loves it
sera: tries to make the weirdest grossest sounding flavors and they end up being delicious. she doesn't even like coffee
bull: the sweeter and frillier the better; something like caramel frappuccino with extra pumps of vanilla and caramel and extra whipped cream. always gets the largest size and immediately wants to fight like six dragons at once
blackwall: had a bad run-in with a barista once and feels so guilty he never drinks coffee again and tells everyone to tip really well
solas: the only thing he hates more than tea is coffee. is the asshole who orders ice water and sits in the cafe on his laptop for 6 hours
