Visiting a rock shop is a bad idea but look at all these pretties I found!

Labradorite (my favorite), moss agate, banded iron formation, magnetic "hematite," and a really really pretty opalized ammonite.

Playing HL2 episode 1 and Alyx and I made an impromptu detour via a hospital. Judging by the wonderful use of colour theory, I’d say this is the children’s ward.

Dear people living on your own for the first time:

Here’s some advice I wasn’t told from the myriad of posts before that I wish I’d been given before

Wash the OUTSIDE of your pots and pans as well as the cooking surface. I’ve had a few roommates now who have only cleaned the inside and I’ve had to replace a $150 set of cookware twice.

“its only one time, how bad could using metal on nonstick cookware really be?” very bad. don’t do this.

Buy a rice cooker. Buy the middle tier rice cooker. Cheap ones will burn your rice, high tier ones are too expensive. Rice is good and cheap and, really, you don’t actually have to wash it if you don’t care about making gourmet food.

Buy band-aids. You don’t think you need band-ads until you need a band-aid, and by then it’s too late. (if you don’t follow this advice, a paper towel and some tape is an acceptable solution while you go get real bandages and neosporin)

You are on tumblr, which means you probably spend most of your time in one spot on a computer or phone. if this spot doesn’t have a trash can in arm’s reach, put one there.

 I spent 4 years piling trash on my desk in increasingly precarious ways until I had a designated area to put it. Trash cans can and should go anywhere there is a frequent generation of trash, typical locations be damned.

If you live with one or two roommates, discuss placing empty boxes in the back of your fridge and freezer. You probably don’t need all the space that the standard 5-person-family fridge provides, and tupperware will be shoved back there and left to stink up the entire appliance.

Get a wall calendar, put it somewhere communal, and have everyone put their household-relevant schedules on it. Communication is by far the weakest link with roommates (even good ones!) and having something to reference for appointments is always good

axolotl fae dragon familiar ;-D

I’m a damn clown

Caption: [Okay, so this is my Wooloo cosplay from 2019. Umm. I don't know if y'all can see the back. I made everything, even the resin pieces, the little clay hearts. I knitted those bows. Crocheted the headpiece and my bonnet.

I crocheted and knitted everything, yes! It is both crochet and knit. I also made my staff. And I did the clay stuff. So yes, just for anyone that's gonna ask me did I make this myself, yes. But also! I just wanna show off how cute I am.]

super late but here’s a very specific ship dynamic i’ve been obssessed with recently

i dont think i posted these but here i made a little frog pattern to make tiny frog toys with my grandma

send me “spoiler!” and ill give u a vague spoiler abt a story im writing

i am not joking we need to force teach cooking in schools. like. it is an essential thing for survival. do you know how easy it is to make things if you know even the bare bones shit about how cooking works. we need to teach teenagers how far you can take an onion and some other veggies it''s sad that people grow up not knowing how to prepare literally anything. and i'm not talking about oh this home ed class taught me how to make chicken nuggets at home i'm talking about learning the balancing of sweetness and acidity and saltiness and bitterness and shit like that and techniques and oil temperatures and how meats cook. it needs to be taught because it's literally not even that difficult and it matters so much

Love Wins!

Recently, Discord has made some pretty jarring changes to it’s UI, specifics can be found here: https://t.co/OedvENyboE?amp=1

Essentially, Discord has boosted the saturation of a lot of their colours, which many people have found to be distracting at best, and outright harmful for neurodivergent and visually impaired people at worse. Though it may be unlikely that discord completely revert these changes (as seen on their twitter, their stance on this matter is that people should “Be one with the change”),  it is good to voice your outrage, and suggest that they at least give an option to toggle the legacy colours.

You can help bring up these problems to discord by filling out this accessibility support form, and/or by voting up these threads in the discord support forum:

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/1500001050542-New-color-and-font

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/1500001050842-New-layout-extremely-hostile-towards-people-with-disabilities

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/1500001050082-Colors-are-extremely-harsh-to-eyes-as-a-disabled-person

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/1500001048762-The-new-update-blue-not-very-autism-friendly

If you want an immediate fix, or in case discord does not revert these changes, BetterDiscord is a trustworthy third party source, who have already made a theme that reverts these changes! Edit: please note that BetterDiscord is a third party application, and it’s not clear what discord’s official policy on it is! General consensus is you can use it, but don’t talk of it’s use or share screenshots of it in public discords.

There is no obligation, though if you are also concerned about these changes consider reblogging this post so that others may have their voices heard.

I drew Clera and Tiff! Two more of my main ocs for AskJoshuaFreeman!

Clera Belle is a fashionable sweetheart who just wants to make everybody happy and expresses herself through the extravagant clothes she makes.

Tiff Pepper is a tough-as-nails gothic punk who takes crap from no one and intimidates nearly everyone enough to leave her the hell alone.

Together, they make the best damn couple you've ever seen, and make each other more happy than you can imagine. Now if only they could do something about all the trouble their buds Allen and Josh seem to get into...

Please do spare @askjoshuafreeman a follow if any part of them interest you, for I promise that there will be more!

I drew a lil Benrey in preperation for his first appearance in my au! Hope you guys can enjoy him regardless lol

He got double fangs, no ears, and a cursed jean jacket which I unfortunately have no clue how to draw.

FINALLY. IT IS DONE!!!! socpens killed the radio tv, a rotoscope animation from just dance’s video killed the radio star. i’ve been working on this for the past few weeks and i am honestly just.. so happy with how it turned out. i wouldn’t have been able to finish it without my friend aly @chmkysii who helped color the frames! 

my best song in a good while. for a friend’s project! since i am apparently in charge of the ost now /lh

Welcome to: Lola and her buddies are scheming a little smth smth

Real talk tho, I love how your music sounds, Screens! Keep it up!

welcome back to: screenie talks about DBAH with no context

Birthday birthday birthday! Guess who's special day it is today! Woot woooot!! That's right! Little Lola's hit the big 2-1! Cake and celebrations ahoy!

Happy 1 year anniversary HLVRAI! I can't express how much this entire series means to me and I really wish I could've done something nice for the day itself, but my schedule is much too full at the moment, so it'll have to wait.

In the meantime, feel free to follow the current blogs I run related to hlvrai, like @askjoshuafreeman and @crabs-dads-and-fab-ocs , the second of which I run with a few friends.

Thank you all for making this year of creativity just incredible, and here's to a second year of wonder and projects!

Nurmi Ceramics on Etsy

Of grandiose and valor, here are our boys!

It might've taken me a biiiit too long to make these references, but I'm incredibly proud at how they turned out. Shout out to @pokeblog123 for the idea of Allen's sweater having horns and devil's wings, it works so well!

It's fairly easy to see a real difference between them and I couldn't be happier that I managed to capture their mannerisms and little quirks in these refs. Joshua needs some goddamn sleep and Allen...

Allen just needs some hang time with his bro, that solves everything!

Gah, I love my boys so much! Here's to hoping we can get them a good ending, right?

would anyone give a headcrab a smooch?

“Hm. Well gee, that can’t be good.”

Back at it again with some original art! Just trying out some stuff with some funky orbs

(Reblogs are appreciated )

Well, looks like that egg will be in my inventory forever then.

Wonder how far I'll have to walk before it hatches...

:]

Goddamn it-

I've been duped!

I brought this on myself
