Finally had a chance to redo the screenshots for my whm glam in Amaurot, and discovered a few amazing vantage points. The designers are clearly proud of the modelling for Amaurot and want the players to admire their work uwu

Also assize is truly my favourite whm skill, the character motion for it is great too.

Toxic Positivity

Opps forgot that I had some quotations to post from this book. Overall I don't feel very strongly about the book, it is validating tho. 

Gratitude, like happiness, has become a moral obligation that we must fulfill. Without it, our culture tells us, you're probably doomed to a life of sadness and loneliness. Every moment demands the presence of gratitude and its exhausting. 

Emotions are something that all humans experience, but we don't all experience them in the same way. Many people use the terms "feeling" and "emotion" interchangeably; they're not the same thing. 

  • An emotion is a physiological experience (like a rapid heartbeat or difficulty breathing) that gives you information about the world. It's a complex reaction pattern that is determined by the significance of the event.
  • A feeling is your conscious awareness of the emotion itself.
Feelings are experienced consciously, while emotions manifest either consciously or subconsciously. With emotional education and practice, some people are able to experience an emotion and give it a name or a label, making it a feeling that they're able to understand and experience.

Marry Him

Hmm not sure how I feel about this book overall, the tone feels fairly patronizing but I do like several points that it makes:

Love is timing, a verb and a noun

In his book Alone Together, Amato and his cowriter talk about the difference between today’s marriages, which are more individualistic, and the pre-1970s marriages, which he calls "companionate marriages, where you looked for a compatible and reliable partner to help you achieve mutual life goals. "Cooperative teamwork was the definition of a good marriage," Amato said. But now the focus has shifted to personal satisfaction through the marital relationship itself.

"One school of thought is, the increased divorce rate is because our culture became more individualistic and our expectations for marriage changed- it became a therapeutic relationship instead of a practical relationship.

the darker

Ok this is my favourite gpose location, the way the candle lights illuminate the rocky background (the texture!) works so well with most battle effects. Also I don't need to mess around lighting for way too long to bring out dimensionality. 

I might just rotate these as my wallpaper for a while.

But ya know putting together glams both in game and irl (and watching fashion videos) has been a fairly consistent stream of joy in an otherwise fairly...challenging few months?

This one for my AST's HW relic is probably the most different from the style I go for. Below is part 1.
