>Be me
>Looking for a travel mug to have hot drinks at work
>Find a metal Tervis tumbler in good condition at the thrift store, seems almost brand new, cute picture of Baby Yoda on it
>Use the new tumbler for like 2 weeks. Wash every couple of days with Palmolive dish soap at home or dish soap of indeterminate brand in the breakroom at work. Rinse out with hot water on other days
>Go to make some tea on the third Monday morning before leaving for work
>Tumbler smells like mint
>Not an unpleasant scent but sickeningly strong. No idea where it came from. Have had nothing but French vanilla instant cappuccino and hot chocolate in this cup
>Cup has been standing unwashed but dry for 3 days. Not long enough or proper conditions to grow mold. Never encountered mold that smells like this anyway
>No one else except me uses this cup. Have left it unattended at work occasionally but cannot imagine means or motive for this kind of sabotage
>Baffled
>Wash thoroughly
>Still smells like mint
>Wash again
>Still smells like mint
>Soak in hot water
>Still smells like mint
>Soak in boiling water
>Still smells like mint
>Soak in boiling vinegar
>Still smells like mint
>I have no idea where this smell came from am I going insane
>Need hot drinks at work but scared to use cup because of mystery smell
#i washed it again with soap and water right now and guess what. still smells like mint#to the point where taking a quick whiff of it makes my sinuses feel clearer#well. i got some mint tea and i will put that in the cup. i have so much overtime and i must have a hot drink#i have been keeping an eye out but nothing else i can use at the thrift store#ABSOLUTELY not buying one new#besides i like this one its cute

The Charcuterie Board, as designed by your votes! Thank you to everyone who participated; this was a fun challenge!
#charcuterie saga#The original version of this was a watercolour but unfortunately I left it behind while travelling...#Along with some of my comic pages and my scripting notes (that's why I have yet to post more pd-mdzs...I funked it up big time)#This board was made on Dec 30th and I am very thankful to the people who helped donate various components to make it possible.#I took a few variations on the composition and while this one has some flaws - I think it has the most personality!#True Charcuterie fans will look at my choices and weep but I never promised good charcuterie!!! I promised accuracy to the poll!#Some elements stand in as 'double counting' in categories. Which was a survival technique for me.#I had to learn a lot of new things to make this possible! My skills like in making the physical wooden board - not the arrangement of food!#Rosemary was hotly debated as I personally do think it counts as edible (so not a valid pick for 'decoration').#I also thought tomato sauce could count as a fruit and spread.#My cursed hand has fingerprints in other parts of this tragedy. Beware looking too closely.#Of course there is a version of reality in which I have the disposable income to buy 20+ different kinds of cheese and-#-make this baby absolutely massive. Not the reality I live in though.#What a wild experience this saga has been. So many opinions about cheese (and other foods).#EDIT: I mislabelled the Salami! There is salami on the board!!!

@pixlokita, i know i promised a comic for the ballpit au, but it turned into a small animation. Whoops. Hope you like it!
bonus content under the cut!
Version with a bonus frame:
The bonus frame by itself:
the text full says “Uncle Henry, you shouldn’t be eating this late. I understand that you have had a stressful day, however, this is not a healthy way to deal with stress. Eating before bed can cause heart burn, or esophageal irritation, which can cause difficulty sleeping. That cereal is also full of sugar and unhealthy preservatives. I will make a healthy breakfast for us in the morning.”
#into the ballpit au#michael afton#fanart#fnaf#henry emily#i made this#my art#my first animation!#person A seeing person B with glowing eyes when as far as person A knows person B���s eyes Should Not Be Doing That#and person A Does Not Know How To Deal With That#that’s top notch#I am SUCH a sucker for it#also I headcanon Henry as the kind of nerd who would absolutely eat C3P-O’s#yes he is pulling cereal out of the fridge#he put it there when he was tired okay#also ignore that that’s not a standard 80s fridge#he built it himself because he refused to buy a new one.

#galarian slowpoke#picture this. this was the first pokémon revealed from the new DLCs for pokémon sword and shield. the pokémon company#up until this point‚ has never done DLC for a pokémon game before. you‚ having been jaded by shitty DLCs for other games in the past#now have a distaste for the phrase‚ and imagine this can't be good. then‚ in their teaser for the new DLC‚ they add a little event#into the game where they reveal one of the new pokémon that is going to be added in the DLC#and it is a galarian form. that is identical to the original pokémon. but with a yellow head#are you imagining it. now how fucking disappointed are you. how little faith do you have in that DLC that it's going to be as good as it wa#for the most part‚ the pokémon company has demonstrated that they do absolutely excellent DLCs. proper expansions#basically an entire other game on top of the game you already have. and they typically take up the release cycle of a full game#scarlet/violet's especially. WONDERFUL dlc. i never really properly finished the crown tundra just because i was so late to the party#because i avoided buying the dlc for so long because of this experience that i've just described to you#that by the time i bought it and played it‚ it was just because SV had been announced and i wanted more pokémon to tide me over#and i never finished it. one of these days‚ i'd like to go back and finish it‚ but i'm playing through pokémon xd gale of darkness right no#and i prefer to play. one game at a time. and i don't know when i'll ever really get back to it#or if i'll ever get back to it! 'cause without resetting my save file all the way i'll just have to Remember what it is that already happen#which i'm. notoriously bad at when it comes to coming back to games that i haven't played in a while#plus i know sv is like shitty performance or whatever but the movement in that game is so much better#it feels so much more freeing than going back to gen 8 where you can still just. run. and that's it#i know nobody likes scarlet/violet but i still. like it. performance aside. like yes the performance is terrible but i still had a great#time with it. i just praised its DLC for fuck's sake! its DLC was fuckin wonderful! it has kieran in it so it like can't be bad

The NPCs not talking to Rook isn’t the end of the series as we knew it — the cumulative of every bad decision made in Veilguard sets a precedent that can only be the end of the series as we knew it. They’re not gonna walk it back in DA5 and give us something like Origins or 2 again just because we asked. The Dragon Age we all loved is over. They also explicitly said they are done with Thedas and everyone in it (Dalish elves in general included) as a whole, which is also an explicit End.
Hope that helps
#veilguard critical#bioware critical#bad faith acting like people are overreacting to One Thing when it’s not One Thing#it’s the slaughter of all the lore from the previous games with no intention to do anything about the#absolutely valid critique they’ve been getting#that is the indicator of how any new games will go#we are in the dragon age mcu era and there’s no going back unless something MASSIVELY changes#and by that I mean some other company buys the rights#bc Bioware and EA are not going to change

stede is 'oh this place has something related to my interest i must go in immediately' autistic and izzy is 'if we deviate one inch from my plan for today i will murder someone' autistic
#stede wandering off into the forest to look at bugs was not on the schedule or any of izzys contingency schedules#new thing i think would fix izzy: a clear fucking plan#in the nebulous reunion timeline future i see izzy researching every port town they are gonna stop in HARD so he can figure out everywhere#stede + ed might possibly want to go and plan several routes for the day to keep himself calm in the inevitable chaos#(and yet somehow every time stede finds something he missed and they still go off script anyway)#(he tries to go separately around port from them one time and its a fucking disaster; someone gets stabbed; so he just resigns himself to#incredibly stressful port stops)#its not like stede + ed mean to do it!! theyre both awful for it individually and they just feed off each other#its ok because theyre very good at letting izzy have the deck Exactly how he wants it and scheduling as much big picture stuff as they can#with him#(when stede realises theyve been the cause of like. 65% of izzys stress they finally agree to let him redo the rigging as an apology and#they suddenly realise watching him buy the supplies that hes just as bad as them in his own way)#(he absolutely terrorizes the rope guy but they have never seen him so relaxed as when he was up there redoing all the lines)#nyxtalks#ofmd#izzy hands#israel hands#stede bonnet#you can pry autistic izzy away from my cold dead hands

okay sanders sides board game headcanons go
roman-
has the shortest attention span you have ever seen in your entire life, 90% of the time he has to be bribed to play a game longer than five to ten minutes. uno is the exception.
loves-uno, the idea of risk
hates-most other games, the reality of risk
logan-
into the most long, complicated, rule-and-insane-mechanic-heavy games you could possibly find. also anything trivia or random-knowledge-based. he and virgil make everyone play dnd. he is the dm and only does very elaborate homebrew stuff.
loves-trivial pursuit, everdell, that one stock market game that’s really confusing, matching games likes eye spot it, scrabble, mobius (math bananagrams)
hates-those games where you just roll dice and pass them between the players for five minutes
virgil-
either short games where you brutally destroy your opponents or long games where you brutally destroy your opponents, depending on his mood. also teams up with logan to make everyone play dnd.
loves-unstable unicorns, monopoly, uno
hates-any cooperative/working-together-as-a-team games
patton
big fan of games that let you be on teams or work with other players. loves games where you collect cards with characters on them but is usually bad at the actual game. really is just bad at most games, to be honest. he’s a good sport about it, though. (he likes to make jokes about how “your dad is getting too old for these games” and is immediately shut down by logan because “we’re literally all the same age, patton.”) he doesn’t mind long games but doesn’t do well with extremely complicated games. loves physical building/balance games, weirdly good at trivial pursuit.
loves-pokemon, any cooperative/working-together-as-a-team games, catan (he likes to build little houses with the blocks), bananagrams, jenga, suspend
hates-“now, hate is a strong word, but-” any games where players or characters “die”, uno (apologizes whenever he does literally anything to anyone)
janus-
obviously any game where you have to pretend/lie but also strategy-heavy games that require a lot of planning and thinking. likes slower paced games and takes forever on every single turn he has, no matter what game it is.
loves-mafia, bs, runes and regulations, solitaire (he and logan sometimes sit next to each other and play separate games of solitaire and race to finish theirs first. Janus always cheats.)
hates-wham (he hates the one hand only rule)
remus-
anything wildly inappropriate but also anything structured like apples to apples. give-me-a-prompt-and-i’ll-answer-it-in-a-weird-way games. has a longer attention span than roman but only if he’s interested in the game.
loves-cards against humanity, apples to apples, ransom notes, operation, trophies (he always manages to find words that only technically fit the prompt and you want to disqualify him but you can’t. very annoying.), the telephone game where you have to draw
hates-any game that you just play with a deck of cards (no gimmick and therefore boring)
#uni is rambling again#sanders sides#patton sanders#ts patton#ts logan#logan sanders#ts janus#janus sanders#ts remus#remus sanders#ts roman#roman sanders#ts virgil#virgil sanders#board games#card games#i realize that most people probably don’t know what a decent amount of these games are#my family has a ridiculous amount of board and card games and likes to buy new games from kickstarter and such#so many of the ones we play aren’t super common#also please send me any ideas/headcanons you have on this topic i would absolutely love to hear them#or just if you agree/disagree with what i said#i would be happy to talk about this more

I saw a thing on Instagram saying the average person buys 68 articles of clothing a year and I'm like.... for real?
I buy maybe like... a pair of pants and one or two shirts???? Maybe a pair of shoes if I have extra money. Idk man. I wear my shit until it dies.
#i also absolutely despise shopping so there's that#and also i mostly only go to work so that influences things#like i get work shirts for free so all I'm buying is new pants when the old ones die#my favorite work jeans died of chub rub this week 😭#but I'm just gonna patch them lol

have to say the worst part about me getting into jet lag is that i’m genuinely considering getting a nebula subscription and it’s not even for like. a normal reason.
#RPF would be a normal reason imo. anyone who has it for RPF is sooo valid that’s not what i’m implying here#like. they have fun bonus episode content! the other creators look cool! supporting independent-ish artists in artistic endeavors directly!#all normal valid reasons to get nebula. is that what is making me consider a subscription um no not really#…i just need a new running podcast 🫡#local fool falls for youtube ad reads.#was absolutely not interested until the ad reads for these past two?? seasons started talking about a podcast. audibly went ‘oh no’#is it SILLY to buy a whole subscription just for one (1) podcast yes. however.#they’re the right length they seem like they have enough whimsy and that je ne c’est quoi that would be enjoyable and i have been through#all of YCDT and the broadscast and TPP and TMA and almost all of elite sens like i have needed a new podcast for so long 😭 & i’m so pickyyy#speaking of picky though would love to know if sam is a music or audiobook or podcast or nothing listener when he runs.#fundamental characterization imo. i would’ve bet podcast and like npr-nonfiction podcast until the lizzo comment that i still have no idea#whether or not it’s real but very intriguing to me because i am nosy as hell. no noise is insane to me but also i could see it for him

I absolutely LOVE the Squirtle/Wartortle illustrations by kantaro in Pokemon 151!
The Squirtle jumping so joyfully from the rock into the ocean, the colors are STUNNING! I love the contrast of the Squirtle's aqua blue framed in the vivid orange sky, the soft bit of blue reflecting in its shell and its tail just catching the sun, how little and squishy its body looks as it launches itself towards the water with such tremendous excitement!
The lineless style of the background gives me the feel of a travel poster and I sense the tropical environment around it from the rocks and trees framing the corners, the waterfall splashing with as much energy as the Squirtle!
The layered blues on the surface of the water and the bubbles rising at the corner make me FEEL the liquid rising to meet the Squirtle--I can just feel how the next moment it's going to break through and be immersed in a cool island swim!
And the Wartortle running along the sunset beach, this is somehow everything I always imagined for Wartortle! I adore the way the rich purple melts into the warm red/orange sky, the matching purple clouds and shadows in the foreground, and how the dimming sunlight glows red on Wartortle's deep blues!
I love how the yellow and orange of the sky illuminate the lapping waves, I can just feel the gentle motion of the sea at dusk. The aqua color of the ocean matches Wartortle's ears and tail and sets off the red-orange sand, I just love how the colors are here!
Wartortle looks so round and squishy, I love its happiness as it goes frolicking through the shallows, chasing the bubbles caught in the setting sun! The shine and deep shadow on its shell give it an almost jewel texture like real tortoise shell; I love the silhouetted splash Wartortle leaves as it goes running across the shore. It's so full of energy and delight at the end of a gorgeous day! The colors in these are SO vivid and harmonized and the style is so cute and bursting with energy and joy. I just LOVE it (also Squirtle is my starter)
#pokemon#pokemon tcg#long post#i have deep affection for bulbasaur as well though and i also love the bulbasaur/ivysaur cards in this set#i SO wish we'd gotten art of the final evolutions in the same style as the pre-evos' standard cards!!#(yes i do love the full art ones but i also love the illustrations on the standard cards!)#from the way the settings in these two were going; i would have imagined blastoise to be set at night (??)#i LOVE pokemon cards. i can't keep up with every set but i started collecting again now and then a few years ago#and 151 has really got me wanting the full set the way i haven't since childhood. SO many beautiful illustrations (but there always are)#it's like having little pieces of art of my favorite characters and it's only.. slightly... less expensive than actually commissioning ....#i KNOW it's less expensive to buy the individuals online but it's so much less fun#part of the fun is having YOUR own pokemon journey ((going to the store)) and seeing what YOU encounter ((when you open the pack))#i do buy them online sometimes but i usually dont form as strong associations with them as when i open a pack in a certain setting or place#i tend to try to save them to open right before a significant event like starting something new or a holiday. so that i form associations#and it's like 'oh that's the galarian obstagoon from when my mom came home for christmas'#and 'that's the snorlax who reassured me when i was hurt'#i don't buy them too often so i've got to make it count#anyway i know i should wait for the prices on this one to come down because it's absolutely ridiculous#i didn't buy anything at release because i was like $6 for one booster pack??? but i couldn't take just sitting and watching them sell out#i really like the poster because i can look at so many beautiful pictures all together#i could say stuff like this about literally every pokemon illustration (if i had time to write it out) and sometimes i've wanted to#i just chose these two because these are a couple of my original favorite pokemon and i just couldn't keep it to myself. i LOVE these

I've been playing a lot of stardew valley and now I REALLY want to draw Blue Lock x Stardew Valley
(I have so many ideas to draw fjekkfjf check tags)
#isagi would 100% be the farmer#Rin and Sae would be like Haley and Emily but Sae absolutely ignores the existence of Rin and Rin hates him over the years#BACHIRA WOULD BE LIKE SAM he'd check to see who moved to Stardew and immediately cling to Isagi because he had no one else to hang out with#Shidow would be Linus. That man is homeless#Nagi would be Sebastian but instead he spends all of year 1 locked in his basement so you cant befriend him#Instead of Joja Mart you'd have Mikage Co#if you buy the membership Reo builds a mansion for himself where the community house is and he moves to Blue Lock Hills#yeah its Blue Lock Hills now not Pelican town#If you get Reo to move in he befriends Nagi and he comes out of his house in year 1 and you can FINALLY befriend him#Later in the Mikage route Reo builds a new community house immediately after he moves in anyway#and even if you dont buy a membership nagi buys one in year 2 and he destroys the comm house#you essentially just start the route later LOL you cant avoid Reo#Kunigami is Alex but he becomes all emo once he fails the university soccer tournament in year 2#Chigiri is the princess who lives where Elliot is and everyone is suspicious hes a mermaid or siren#JFOEKFJ I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS#oh also the mayor is Ego OBVIOUSLY and Anhri is his poor underpaid assistant#blue lock#stardew valley

AUGHHHHHHHHHHHH#idk. idk. i know animal jam is far past its glory days and it needs to do this to survive. and i definitely do not want this game to die.#but it is really going full capitalism mode. and i think the content and the players and the devs are really suffering from that. idk.#jamblr#i do really enjoy doing the nonogram puzzles and i absolutely love the dungeons. i'm glad they give me stuff to sell. but man. i kind of ju#t wish it wasn't so much like this yknow#ramblings#bangers
