Teto belly 🥺

1. The fuck am I watching?

2. why the ever loving shit is it so loud?

Oh wow, that’s… I had no idea people recognized me on here. That’s news to me.

Me as fuck

That is actually very disheartening to hear since writing is like the one thing I’m moderately ok at

Holy shit this is fantastic.

I’ve seen similar posts before with like dark souls bonfires or cutesy photos or cozy fantasy stuff, but this? This is art. It’s so visceral, so raw, it’s positively dripping with the juices of a reality most people only dream of and yet completely and totally exists in this world. It slaps you upside the head and locks eyes with you, snapping you instantly out of whatever funk, demanding your attention and ordering you to double check your eyes. Yes that is a shotgun, yes they are gesturing to you specifically, and no it isn’t a gameplay screenshot or weird meta post or even a meme. There are no filters or edits on this. It’s real, realer than most things are on the internet. Someone got dressed, brought their rifle, and took a photo out in the wilderness. That fire? Real. That breakfast? Real. That person probably ate it. Shit, they might have literally shared it with someone. That someone could be you. Not in a “imagine you’re in this fictional setting” way but in a “if things were different I could genuinely, actually, be there, in the snowy wood” way, a way that drags you hand and foot into the imagination, into wondering what it’s like, to be there. The gentle, non-threatening invitation is starkly contrasted by the weapon in hand, a clear reminder of the possibility and reality of violence, and yet you somehow just know that no harm would ever come to you here. They’ve accepted you, just as you are, and all that’s left is to accept their invitation. Warm eggs. Bacon. Coffee. A simple fire, a real one, not one for show or aesthetics but built for function and warmth. And probably the best conversation you’ll ever have in your life.

Why did I think that was an upside down duck at first?

For anyone who doesn’t get it or can’t see it: This is a meccha chameleon reference. There is a character painted the same color as the background there. Barely noticeable on dark mode.

I feel like it’s more likely the creator just moved the UFO for some reason, since lining the skylines puts just the UFO out of place.

Context?

Hmm gotcha. If it’s a place for activity and you already have stuff in mind for the headquarters, you could theoretically copy and paste what the HQ has and just trim things off as you like. Otherwise, here’s my two cents. Feel free to include what you need and leave off what you don’t.

1. Sleeping areas. Maybe a whole section dedicated to barracks, or maybe just a couple mattresses/cots/sleeping bags in a corner.
2. Restrooms.
3. Tables and chairs, or at least places to sit down and be comfortable.
4. Games of chance. Maybe some are scams, maybe some are legit, most are just for some R&R.
5. Depending on size, a stocked bar with a bartender. If it’s too small, maybe some guy specifically selling booze and nothing else.
6. Fences buying and selling illicit goods, whether stolen or just outright illegal. You mentioned drugs earlier but (again depending on size) a black market here would encompass all that and more.
7. Along the same vein, maybe someone selling tools of the trade. Rope, lockpicks, small knives, crowbars, etc.
8. A kitchen, or at least a place where food is made. Maybe just simple stews and gruel for people who are hungry, or maybe fucking Sanji and Gordon Ramsey are here serving up 10 star meals for no reason.
9. If there’s prisoners in cells, then there’s guards tending to the prisoners. A guard post, or some such.
10. Maintainers. Essentially, people who watch over the place and take care of it. Maybe they clean and dust everything, cook food, manage the bar, guard the entry points, referee the market, do conflict resolution, etc. Or maybe they’re just there to keep track of who comes in and who goes out. Or maybe there aren’t any and people are expected to pick up after themselves.
11. Crates and barrels. More generally, space for storage, or if not a separate space, containers scattered around.
12. Along the same vein, maybe a dedicated locker room, as in a place where people can safely store things without fear of it getting stolen. Maybe they trust it to the maintainers who handle the keys, or maybe they hold the keys themselves, or maybe there isn’t a safe place to store stuff because everyone’s a thief, or maybe everywhere is safe because the guild’s rules are that there’s no thievery allowed in safe houses, and anyone caught doing so is punished.
13. Less of a “thing” and more of an idea. No keys whatsoever. They’re thieves, they just pick the locks closed and pick them open when needed. If there’s no keys, then there’s no threat of the prisoners stealing one, and if the prisoners are good enough to pick the lock to their cage, then shit they’re good enough to join the guild.
14. A bard. People like music. Doesn’t have to be a professional either, maybe someone plucking a few strings on a guitar to lend some ambiance.
15. Corrupt officials doing business.
16. Guild officials. Might fall into the category of maintainers, might not. Someone with authority who’s here to answer questions and watch the place.
17. People offering services. Bodyguards selling protection, thieves looking to join a heist for a cut, professional lockpicks offering to crack open really hard locks, perhaps a mage or mages selling magical services like spell casts, enchantments, potions, etc. Maybe sex workers, assassins, ruffians who will harass or beat someone up for cash or get beat up to make a scene. Guides who know the undercity like the back of their hand, or underground performers on a bad turn. City officials or guardsmen open to bribes. Maybe these people aren’t advertising and are just existing in the area, but can be spoken to and hired.

Is this a safehouse or a headquarters/guild hall/ hub area for thieves? To me, the former implies a spot for thieves to lay low while the fuzz is on them or to collect themselves and distribute loot after a nervewracking heist, or maybe to stock up on supplies and sleep before moving on to the next safehouse. A place to disappear to, in a sense.

Edit: Or perhaps a place where a thief or group of thieves live and keeps their shit.

What about half human half animal, like centaurs? Or like human but with more animal than just ears and a tail? I’ve seen depictions of humans with like scaled skin or furry limbs but human bodies.

Sauce?

jerboa is pretty good too, though limited in search function.

Did… did you forget you can zoom in?

So what I meant was “I miss playing Minecraft” but yeah some of the most recent versions just feel like modpacks

man I miss Minecraft

Wait, I thought the volume of a sphere approaches 0 as dimensions go to infinity, no? Thr general formula for the volume of any nth dimensional sphere has the gamma function in the denominator, which rises faster than whatever is in the numerator. At some point (5 dimensions, iirc) the volume starts decreasing

Sphere refers to the surface area, correct? Ball would be the volume inside?
