Say it again. You're the boss.
Hello. I'm Veet. Bask in my awesomeness. I'm 27, a proud geek and nerd, and will probably post a lot of silly and ridiculous things on here. My fandom of the moment is Doctor Who, especially the Big Finish Eighth Doctor audio plays, but I'm also into a lot of other fun, geeky things that I'll hopefully talk or post pictures about, especially scifi and fantasy. Oh, I'm also a lesbian, so expect gay pride and hot chicks sometimes.
Questions, comments, praise, abuse...

americancollegeofherald… a;sldkjga;ehoifd;gkjwerlkj Also I think we can do whatever the hell we want with our color scheme and besides I usually put three colors in when making a crest.ok, I’ll take a look and see what sticks out to me, and if I can do red, green, and black without it looking like a Goth Christmas.
AUGH COLOR ON COLOR WHERE IS YOUR METAL YOU NEED IT FOR CONTRAST DON’T MAKE THE HERALDS CRAZYAHHHHH OK OK WE’RE NOT ON ANYTHING FINAL YET
THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE BECAUSE I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE IN THIS
I used to do SCA heraldry. Like, a LOT. You need white or yellow in there to rest the red things and/or black things and/or green things against. Otherwise it’s not labeling (heraldry’s purpose in a largely illiterate society) but camouflage (note that the 95th Rifles’ uniforms had green jackets with black braid, not the red coats and white crossbelts to be spotted through the battlefield smoke). Since this is fantasy, not historical reproduction, you could get away with outlining in the white or yellow — the technical term for this is “fimbriated” and it’s a really sketchy practice for SCA-period but legit now, so if you’re committed to red things on black things, go for it.
But color-on-color is like nails on a chalkboard to anyone who has a basic idea of heraldry.
ps I could help you figure out the heraldic language for what you want to do.
You’re an expert on everything awesome, aren’t you?
I have a great many skills, none of which are particularly useful for earning a living.
I know what you mean. I can make chainmail.

I’d like to state, officially, that Paul McGann has permanently taken my ability to can. Ever again.

So I just realised. A lot of people, when you say you have a friend on the internet, go “but you don’t know! They could be a middle aged man pretending to be an teenage girl!”
They dont know that most of these people are my RP partners.
And are teenage girls pretending to be middle aged men.
