The Walking Dead - Among the Ruined - Season 3

The opening post does say we're still accepting! I think it'd be fine for you to throw up a character sheet here in the OOC tab for approval from the GMs.

Pet Thread!

Thank you! :D She's such a sweetie, too. Makes me feel very welcome whenever I come home from school by running around the house then jumping on me, lol. Very hyper, and we're thinking she won't grow out of it because her mommy's the same way

Pet Thread!

I have a German Shepherd puppy named Chloe who recently turned 1. Here's a picture of her when we first got her and a picture of her now: This was taken by my sister's friend and it's one of my favorite pictures of her still And this is her now:

The Dress

Two minute explanation 6 second explanation Personlly, I saw blue and black at first, but then I saw white and gold the second time I saw the dress. Now I just kinda the see the in-between colors a color picker will find if you put it in Photoshop or something. People keep citing neuroscientists but tbh I'd like to see what a color theorist / artist has to say about it. Color is a fascinating thing when it comes to human brain. Plus, it's clearly on the threshold of where your brain will start correcting for color, but I'm wondering if this is because it's digital. I've never heard of a phenomenon (as in the widespread disagreement) like this occurring. So I'm thinking this can only occur because 1) the digital image is what creates that threshold, 2) it happens more often than we think but the internet has allowed people all over to experience it, or 3) a bit of both. Overall, people are getting annoyed / angry that people won't shut up about it, but I still think it can provide fascinating insight into how humans perceive color. People who are excited and pretentious about being "right" that it's black and blue are what I personally find annoying, lol, because they're just straight up missing out on the fun. You can't really be "wrong" in this case, I think. Yes, the DRESS is black/blue but the image is up for discussion, obviously.

Middle-Earth Discussion thread

Fave race is elves, I agree with the majority here. I'm also partial to humans, however, and I enjoy the spirituality/lore associated with both races. Though Idk if they'd always win in a war against men; men outnumber elves and aren't swayed as much by the world around them. Wizards are cool too...Basically I just don't like the dwarves I guess, haha. Much of what I've learned about Arda and its lore was learned in a Sci-Fi and Fantasy Philosophy class I took in my first year of college. Silmarillion was a required read. It was great. So far, I've only only read that and the Hobbit, however. I need to reread the Hobbit since it's been years, then I want to start on the Lord of the Rings. All these years and I've only seen the first two movies... Also this is on-topic but off-topic: my town in Animal Crossing is called Silmaril, lol.

The Walking Dead - Among the Ruined - Season 3

Lillah & Vivian -- Baton Rouge Lillah remained quiet as she "shopped." Of course, her primary concern was the food, but she would occasionally drop a dusty book or article of clothing into her bag. The shoppe was a good find, full of diverse goods and she made a note of it on the map in her head. It'd be worth returning to, though there was only so much she and Vivian could carry without being slowed down. She stopped toward the front of the shoppe by the cashier tables and picked up a few lighters, testing them. Fire was always good, so she dropped them into her bag. Before she continued her search, she noticed the stranger was leaving. Lillah paused to watch; while she was always looking out for Vivian, she tended to look out for the people around Vivian as well. Though the woman turned to ask her a question--she must've had a sister or something--and at Lillah's negative response, continued on. When she began exchanging only words with Vivian, she turned back to searching. Vivian greeted the woman with a tilt of her head and a scowl. Had she been 6 inches taller and another 50 pounds heavier, she might've been intimidating--though the shot gun helped. "We're just passing through, girly. Worry about yourself," she answered with a dismissive wave of her hand. Her gaze lingered on the woman's bag--no doubt full of useful goods--but she didn't make a move. Instead, she just watched with narrowed eyes as the blonde woman left the area. When Lillah finally stepped out, Vivian grabbed her own bag to carry some of the weight. After the exchange, she said, "We should stick around for a bit. Think there's more people here." "Sounds like a reason to leave," Lillah disagreed, looking around. "More people means more supplies," Vivian pointed out. The taller of the two rolled her eyes and returned the bag to her shoulder as Vivian slipped away the shot gun. "C'mon," was all she said before turning continue their travelling.

Whoa, you can designate co-GMs now? Nice.

The Walking Dead - Among the Ruined - Season 3

Lillah & Vivian -- Baton Rouge -- Scarlett "Just need some food is all," Lillah replied, watching the other woman. It was a given--the handful of survivors all needed food. Trust was hard to come by and even harder to give. Though her mind lingered on "kid stuff" and guilt inevitably settled in; anything she took for her and Vivian would be something this lady could have given..what? Her sibling? Her kid? She pursed her lips together and tried to push it out of her mind as she stepped forward to scout the items. She was tense and would occasionally spare the woman a glance, but kept her eyes open for needed food for the most part. The woman then asked if she was alone. Usually, this is where Lillah would lie; however, she needed to take enough for two and the stranger showed no signs of hostility...toward the living at least. "There's one more," she answered truthfully, pulling off her bag to drop a can of peaches into it. "She's standing guard outside." Vivian sauntered back to her place by the door, making an attempt to stay still for more than minute. This consisted of looking around and shifting her weight between one foot and then the other, a pout on her lips. She glanced back at the shoppe, mentally urging her companion to hurry up. She could barely hear words being exchanged, but--not hearing any hostility or shouting--kept her attention on the outside.
