Fictional depiction of mild self-harm, blood.
#WritersCoffeeClub July 23: Share a description you're proud of.
I've been writing a vampire novel lately. Here's a description from the scene when the vampire character proves to the human protagonist that he's been telling the truth:

"It's okay, Ada," he gave me a reassuring close-mouthed smile. "Just watch."
He slashed across his wrist in a motion that made the matching scars on my left arm hum. I covered them with my right hand, as if to calm my skin that I wasn't hurting it like that anymore. That we were merely watching someone else.
The cut on Theodore's arm turned red and angry, as expected. And then, just before the wound pooled up enough to bleed, it closed. I watched time run backwards as it disappeared, the skin stitching itself together to leave no trace of the violence imposed on it by the blade.
"What?" I walked up to him as he handed his wrist to me for inspection. I ran the tips of my fingers over the spot where the cut was mere moments before - but Theodore's skin, cold as always, was smooth and unharmed.

The image features a Dalek, a well-known science fiction character from "Doctor Who," prominently in the center. This Dalek has a typical design with a metallic and somewhat robotic appearance, incorporating shades of gray and blue. However, the unique and humorous twist in the image is that there is a white cat comfortably nestled inside the Dalek, sitting on a cushion as if it has made this unusual contraption its resting place.

Content warning: Fountain of youth spoilers

Fountain Of Youth was amazingly vapid. I'd assumed it'd be awesome—treasure hunter movie with great actors directed by Guy Ritchie.
But it was amazing to see such an obviously opulent budget achieve so little in terms of interest. Wooden, uncommitted acting, zero character development/arcs —no one learned anything. Felt like the stakes didn't matter.
Honestly felt like I was watching rich people cosplay on camera to justify a languid, globe-hopping vacation.

I'm reading Witch Hat Atelier right now (checked out of my local library) and it's top-notch amazing, including the plot, world-building, ethics, character designs, and of course three staggering artistic quality, both in raw illustration quality and artful compositions. It's not shy with playing with the manga form either, with lots of stunning unique panels and active gutters. I also just realized the "shounen manga for girls" formula I've been looking for (which is a formulation that's nearly as important for boys to have access to as girls). But I also really love the humor, including ridiculous puns that are often well-translated. In this scene, the main character Coco has forgotten she's using a mist form spell and ends up blowing away her mist-form body even as age rushes into a chaotic situation, leading to this pun.

Kinda reminds me of Dragonball, but with more wrestling - and I'm not really into either of those things, but I love Kinnikuman. Go figure. It's based on the manga by Yudetamago (ゆでたまご) and some of the character designs were used by Bandai and then Mattel for the M.U.S.C.L.E. figures in the 80s. As they say, boosts appreciated for reach.

So, I think I'm done for the evening. Managed to get the dice roller working as intended with the `lark` parser which is a Christmas miracle. I'll clean it up tomorrow and make it look a bit better code-wise, but I'm pretty happy it does what it says it does. I'll probably roll this into the Pathfinder 2E TUI character sheet.

Before returning to Albion EU I wanted to get at least full T4 gear on Albion Asia plus Avalonian Pickaxe after using learning points to get to T4 mining. Upgrade costs are part of the data.

Here are my notes on etherpad(attached image)

MastodonFedivers is a character on the EU server of Albion Online that I made specifically for this I guess, playing and talking about my adventures here...

I also realized there is no guild in the entirety of Albion Online EU that got "fediverse" in it.
Also any guild with 'mastodon' in it is ALSO missing!
