I do not want a foldable iphone I want an iridescent compact shaped like a seashell upon which I can text my favorite fellow sirens with information about the next vessel full of sailors we are about to devour

we are many, the Defiant Potatoes

Discworld QOTD, from Small Gods “Fear is a strange soil. It grows obedience like corn, which grow in straight lines to make weeding easier. But sometimes it grows the potatoes of defiance, which flourish underground.”

I was 49 when I went into my first D&D session. Amassed a staggering number of 3.5 books and diiiiiiiice. Found a table of cheerful strangers so I could learn Daggerheart. Ran multiple holiday one-shots for my family. And now I'm flinging myself bodily into actual play.

Not to brag, but I spent the morning trying to teach a smart-anxious German Shepherd how to arrange himself in the bed so he doesn't put weight on a Bad Leg and now we are both mad about it

Tell stories to breathe those who came before us into being. Tell stories to remind the living they are loved. I hope you know this one is for you.

welp, my squishy little 3.5 sorcerer needs to wade into the Underdark in search of a kidnapping victim, I'm sure that's fine and nothing at all bad will come of it, ha ha ha fuck

Every time I put in my toof bleaching trays, my brain goes "NOW DO A FUNNY VOICE." Tonight, it was a sus ol' lady speaking to children on her porch. "Here, take a bite of this apple, very good, aaaand touch this spindle, now sign right here in blood, all done? AHAH! (witch cackle)"

Art for this new Daggerheart adversary is complete! May i present to you, the "Aggrieved," known colloquially as the "Lost Cause." It's an elemental of emotions that manifests on battlefields. I'll have stats for you all to use it in your games ASAP! #ttrpg #digitalart

We talk a lot about books that were formative in our childhoods and young adulthoods, but we never actually stop forming ourselves, so what are some books that were formative in your post-college adulthood?

“Be Strong enough to be gentle.” Peter Cullen tells the story of how his brother inspired the voice he would use to play Optimus Prime. It’s a simple yet poignant quote that sums up why Optimus and Peter are so beloved. Til All Are One. 💔

Tim Curry had been doing poorly ever since he had a major stroke back in 2012. Amazingly, he still did the occasional VA work, voicing Auntie Whispers in 2014. Theres an ethereal frailness to her because of what he went through. He, like Dolly, was an amazing human being.
