Hello. This is my pinned post. It is pinned specifically for folks who look at my blog to see if it violates their DNI. Cause it’s happened a few times. I often follow blogs or reblog stuff without looking into anyone. So. My apologies if I follow you reblog something. Feel free to send me a message or block me, as you prefer. Just wanted to say I wasn’t intentionally going against your DNI.
the only two ways i can categorize height is if i see something tall i go 'woah, big boy man' and if i see something short i go 'hah.. baby man' and idk what to blame for this. anyway wanna hear about the times ghosts have touched my ass
(I LOVE The Dark Crystal. If you enjoy fantasy stories and weird monster designs- and if you’re on this blog I suspect you do- you simply HAVE to give Age of Resistance a watch. Infuriatingly, the show was cancelled, leaving us on an agonizing cliffhanger, but what we got is amazing and has some really well done themes of oppression and systemic injustice; we see an example of how one can’t bargain with oppressors, and one of the characters realizes out loud that racial categories are fake and constructed by the ruling class.
On that subject, the story of the gelfling is one of colonization and genocide. I don’t think it’s my place to draw any direct comparisons between fantasy and real atrocity, but it felt a bit uncomfortable writing this with what’s happening right now.)
Dwelling in faraway mountains and distant forests, gelfling are a small elflike race who once dwelled in the Dimension of Dreams, before migrating to the material plane. Historically, they lived in tune with the nature and magic of world around them, with many gelfling naturally able to talk to beasts as druids, or to draw from the magic of the world to divine fates and wave their own futures. Above all else, gelfling are connected by dream, able to safely traverse their homeland of the Dimension of Dreams in a way few other races can.
Gelfling history does not end their- their people have since been colonized, controlled, and enslaved, divided into artificial races, and made to serve the will of their cruel masters. Without a homeland or much of a support network, gelfling who escape this life often turn to adventuring. Some adventurers hope to one day retake their new home and free their people, while others simply wish to live their lives with the freedom they’ve found.
