"the Shadow People Come By Every Once In A While"

The nearby Village simply knows you as the hunter who lives in the forest, but you have a dark secret. You are the former dark Lord. Today you returned from a hunt and found the Hero that defeated you in your Hut.

Talking about fairies as depicted in popular fiction and folklore on Tumblr can be super frustrating because you’re constantly peppered with well-actualies from folks who are hugely overgeneralising the tropes of an excruciatingly narrow set of sources while refusing to examine – or even acknowledge – the actual context of those tropes. It’s like trying to discuss the plot of Terminator with somebody who can’t get past the fact that Arnie broke Asimov’s Laws of Robotics.

When you finally find out about your ADHD.

Does tumblr have an option to save things? I don’t know how to save posts. Would be nice if that feature existed!

I may be stupid

I’ve been patiently waiting for a nice second-hand wood dresser to appear on fb marketplace or at Goodwill for months. Finally, I grabbed this one yesterday for $50.

My inspiration for this project are some dressers I saw at Anthropology that have gorgeous carved details. But I want my dresser to cost $200 or less rather than $2,000.

Of course I can’t add actual hand-carved wood, but I’ve got clay and some silicon molds + epoxy and a potential overconfidence in my DIY abilities.

First up, I removed the existing hardware and sanded this pretty lady down. She is now looking MUCH better without all those terrible stains (and the drawer pulls weren’t doing it for her, tbh).

Up next, I’ll give her a paint wash or three and start trying my hand at faking some carvings!

200 Word RPGs 2024

Each November, some people try to write a novel. Others would prefer to do as little writing as possible. For those who wish to challenge their ability to not write, we offer this alternative: producing a complete, playable roleplaying game in two hundred words or fewer.

This is the submission thread for the 2024 event, running from November 1st, 2024 through November 30th, 2024. Submission guidelines can be found in this blog's pinned post, here.
