Ever wonder why the seeming #1 universal law of all fantasy fiction is Necromancy Is Bad? This would probably make an interesting essay subject.
Necromancers HATE her!! this single mom’s trick for raising the dead. Necromancy tips “they” don’t want YOU to know about. New herbal extract has high priests FURIOUS.
TAKE THE FUCKING QUEUE
Every healer/tank that sees a dps miss it.
Also the lichborne stuff is a bunch of FRICKIN bs. >:(
Yeah at least it will stop the dumb arguments in trade. The only thing you really lose is the self heal via death coil.
And yeah engineering is a pain in the ass to level but I’ve done it once before.

Who’s Alex?
Billboard demonstrating gender stereotypes as most people automatically assume that Alex is the boy.
Actually, I’ve studied design and advertising, and I can tell you that the reason people would look at this and immediately assume Alex is the boy is because, quite simply, the boy is the focal point of the ad.
English-speaking readers’ line of sight goes from left to right and up to down. This ad leads the viewer from the words MEET ALEX etc straight to the boy and then over and down to the girl. I didn’t even notice there was a set of parenthesis with words in them in the ad until I looked the fourth time.
This is a fallacious confirmation bias, as anyone looking at it will assume Alex is the focal point (i.e. The Boy) and then if they’re perceptive they’ll notice the words at the bottom. Aha! Those damn gender stereotypes gotcha again! Except no, because the ad literally forces you to read it as “Alex is the boy” by the visual language and lines of sight.
A better ad would have been structured from top to bottom instead of left to right, and wouldn’t have pushed the girl, the real subject of the ad (who, by the way, has been VISUALLY PUSHED OUT OF HER RIGHTFUL SPACE ON THE AD BY HER BROTHER) off to the corner as far away from her identifiers as possible.
Here, I’ll make you a better ad.
Bam. Shitty stock photo but you get the point. If anyone sees this and assumes Alex is the boy, they don’t have the the ad layout to use as an excuse for their internalized gender shittery. Likewise, the ad isn’t actively trying to make you read it a certain way and THEN making you feel guilty for interpreting it the way they designed it to be.
Pretty much this. They didn’t even try to do anything to make her visually interesting. The least they could have done is aligned her with the rule of thirds along the power points on the left side of the photo. Otherwise Chris is right there in the center of the photo and there’s nothing being done to draw the viewer’s eye to her.
