words to remember
When we say that Ada Lovelace was arguably the world’s first computer programmer, that “arguably” isn’t thrown in there because of questions of definitions or precedence – she definitely wrote programs for a computer, and she was definitely the first.
Rather, the reason her status as the world’s first computer programmer is arguable is because during her lifetime, computers did not exist.
Yes, really: her code was intended for Charles Babbage’s difference engine, but Babbage was never able to build a working model – the material science of their time simply wasn’t up to the challenge. Lovelace’s work was thus based on a description of how the difference engine would operate.
Like, imagine being so far ahead of your time that you’re able to identify and solve fundamental problems of computer programming based on a description of the purely hypothetical device that would run the code you’re writing.
You have an atomic number of 83
You’re pentavalent
You crystallize into repeating cube shapes
When your surface is exposed to oxygen it oxidizes into a rainbow
You are mildly radioactive with a half life longer than the age of the universe
I dont wanna get a job or have real life responsibilities I wanna be an overpowered gay x-men character
theyre disease-proof mutants that treat diseases of all kinds (including magical ones) the girls are separated into different specialties after training, as follows:
Crows- specialize in treating non-magical ailments of the common folk and prevent spread with the help of vultures. Are generally better at triage than other plague doctors
Owls- specialize in treating magical illnesses. The owls are who you call when the whole village has been put under a curse
Eagles- better at long-term treatment plans for individuals rather than huge outbreaks. Have sweets on hand at all times for bratty nobles
Vultures- Ensure a disease, magical or not, doesn’t spread by any means possible
other characteristics of plague doctors from their mutations include: -living for less time than your standard person -unusual ability in magic or physical strength (sometimes both) -endurance -a lot of love to give
love the idea that infernal is a language tieflings don’t have to learn, they just have it built in from birth, and they quickly discover that they can say anything they want out loud in infernal, since almost nobody else understands any of it.
thieves have thieves’ cant, tieflings have the secret language of satan

I’m tired of the 1 and 20 designs LOL so I made this random design that is more like how I roll. Enjoy~
nothing can beat that recycled stained glass aesthetic
I generally like and support both conspiring and d&d
I’d love a co-conspirator to help me plan d&d games
