i suppose i should go ahead and make Official Notice
a) it's not that i hate people using screen readers, it's just that i am often very very tired and don't have the spoons to accurately write image descriptions
b) on this note if you're interested in my images having descriptions and have the spare spoons to do so, i will always be grateful for the help
(unless you're like captioning a selfie as "image description: a big fuckin' idiot who looks like a poopyhead" or some shit, anyway)
@InspectorCaracal i admit i chose tomatoes because of how ~scandalous~ they were
which makes good sense to your average peasant, who hears about this nightshade like plant from exotic lands that you're supposed to *eat??????* tomatoes are real daredevil stuff!!!
@InspectorCaracal it is going to be replaced with me marching into worldbuilding reddits yelling at the top of my lungs DO NOT HAVE TOMATOES IN YOUR MEDIEVAL FANTASY IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO JUSTIFY THEM SIRRAH
@InspectorCaracal EXACTLY. and you can tell so much about technology level from tracing back "what are the little domestic technologies at play"
and yeah, that is its big flaw. but in most people doing "medieval-fantasy faux europe", they've probably already loosely got a set of tiers in place. i think it's useful to note that if there are tiers, you need to address it - and think about it, lol, instead of just blithely writing that your peasant is eating veal and pineapple lmao
@InspectorCaracal i usually go with Excruciating
because honestly then you get not only cultural habits, but economy, landscape (as it informs agriculture), politics (what's rare because it's from enemy lines? what's cuisine that's fashionable because it's considered the 'tastemaker'? is there cuisine that used to be fashionable but now is not because of shifted political influences?), etc., etc...
honestly it's the root that you can go to just about everything else from, lol
@InspectorCaracal BIG BIG AGREE
but i'm also a bit strange in that i consider the One World Building Question that you will Ever Need is "what does a day's worth of food look like for the lower, middle, and upper classes?"

so there was discussion among guildmates of ascian sex and i present to you, #ffxiv tag, just a real bad concept.
(spoilers but only thru arr, i believe)
(also nsfw for lewd text i guess but mostly because this would be a doozie to explain to a boss)
ACAB with a side of rank incompetence
i realize the jokes may seem flippant but it's because i took a course from the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital under the tutelage of one Professor Hawkeye Pierce and we're in full "laugh to keep from crying" here, also this motherfucker being mocked up, down, and sideways is the barest tip of the iceberg of what he deserves
ACAB with a side of rank incompetence
police officer attempts to do some police work, polices even harder
bonus: after shooting and killing the woman he was going to check on laying unconscious in the field, he also apparently managed to NOT SHOOT THE DOG CHARGING AT HIM, THE EXACT REASON HE PULLED HIS GUN OUT
well folks, i guess this confirms america is the evil empire if we're sending law enforcement to stormtrooper marksmanship academy.
good timing especially because i was reminded yesterday of a pmd character i made but never got to rp
carbink who is very enthusiastic about being BAD and DOING CRIMES but is not so good at actually doing so
so leads the equivalent of a tough biker gang who menaces the population by helping your grandma across the street and then comes to your house to make fun of you for it but then immediately panics when you start crying and takes you out for ice cream to apologise
