#Durable Coasters

[parami1]

[allthedoorsareopennow]

ALRIGHT. LET’S INVESTIGATE THE UDAD PHOTOS. MUCH INFORMATION BELOW. SO MUCH

ok top left. brian is the oracle of delphi, of course in greek mythology the most prominent oracle

bottom left. for some reason the goddess artemis’ name seems to have been misspelled as artimes? I have no idea why. artemis is the olympian that features in actea and lyssa.

bottom right. seems to suggest marius’ lecture will take place in the aristotle institute - aristotle is a famous greek philosopher (among other things, grouped loosely as a polymath)

top right. as you likely know, these are military dog tags, usually intended to allow for the identification of corpses. an enomotarch is the commander of an enotomy, a division of 25-36 soldiers, bound together by oath. this seems to be a term originating in Sparta.

middle right. tipple seems to be a term for alcohol, consistent with the bottle top the term appears on. the toy soldier seems to have made its own liquor brand while in the city. (perhaps DB stands for dionysus bacchus, the greek and roman names respectively for the god of alcohol?)

right. a coin is shown, on one side reading ‘to speed the/journey down’. this likely is about the belief that the ferryman (charon) who takes the dead souls across the river acheron and into the underworld must be paid. virgil’s aeneid claims that if the deceased cannot afford to pay the ferryman, they must wander the shores of the styx (another underworld river, in some stories providing the same function as the acheron) for one hundred years before they are allowed to cross into the underworld. thus having this coin to give the ferryman would literally speed the journey down into the underworld in greek mythology. also depicted on this side is the logo of the acheron. on the other side of the coin is featured a headshot of ashes, with the text ‘a penny’ above (the smallest british unit of currency). I cannot discern the text below.

background. the blueprint for the aegis, which in homer’s iliad is a device carried by athena pr zeus, interpreted as either an animal skin or a shield, sometimes featuring the head of a gorgon, that symbolises protection.

the text on the left appears to read as follows:

‘…[ti]tanium…n for the…ens district…[lig]htning rod

‘spikes - they look badass

‘Durable Ti core

‘Moderator’

Ti is the chemical symbol for titanium. also depicted is a uranium fission reaction. a moderator is something else that is needed in a fission reactor core, so this must be a design for a fission reactor. ‘enriched to 90%’ refers to the uranium - uranium-235 is the most fissile isotope, so the more U-235 you have, the more fission you can achieve. for context, reactors often use uranium enriched to 3.5-4.5% - 90% is overkill by a long way for energy generation purposes. my guess is that this reactor core is designed to provide huge amounts of energy to operate sone kind of lightning device, likely intended for zeus (the god of lightning). it is signed by athena and raphaella la cognizi.

BRING FORTH THE NEXT IMAGE!

another acheron coin is shown. I'm not really sure what’s happening in most of this one.

ANOTHER!

more acheron coins and a half-visible toy soldier’s tipple bottle cap. the focus of this picture is a torn and blood-splattered coaster for Calypso’s, the bar from which the suits kidnapped ulysses.

NEXT!

now this is more like it

a zeus coin is depicted, showing five credits - presumably the official currency of the city

there is a gambling chip bearing the name hermes, perhaps referencing his role as a trickster god

the guitar pick is stamped with the name apollo, the greek god of music and song.

there is a fragment of a newspaper cover - we will get more shots of this later.

the emblem of poseidon is shown to be a trident, a weapon poseidon is often depicted as wielding, representing his status as god of the sea.

wow I wonder what name is on that card it’s mostly blocked I wonder if the next will have the name..

BEHOLD!

so that’s presumably an ID card for a security guard, whose name we can now see is Anippe ?aiad. Anippe in greek mythology is the egyptian daughter of the river god nilus, and is thus a naiad, so the name on the card is Anippe Naiad. I can find little information about her, other than that heracles killed her son.

we also get a look at ulysses here, the the text ‘//ALL POINTS FUGITIVE ALERT//‘ above their mugshot.

NEXT!

the text on the ulysses info that seems to be on some kind of old tablet reads

…1) COUNT THEFT:

…[CYCLO]PS - POSEIDON PROPERTY

…OR CAPTURE: DR-25000

…E BOUNTY

…S:

SPONSORED BY POSEIDON INDUSTRIES

CLICK TO LEARN MORE

this seems to be putting a bounty of ‘DR-25000’ (presumably a currency?) on ulysses’ head for the theft of the eye of the cyclops.

more newspaper.. shall we take a closer look?

across four different images, here is the newspaper:

FORTY DEAD IN SUB-LEVEL 54D EXPLOSIONS: WHO IS “GUNPOWDER TIM?”

TWENTY YEARS FROM ILIUM: WILL THE SCARS EVER HEAL?

Oedipus Rex, the doctor hailed as a hero after successfully curing the disease ravaging the sublevel slums, has been revealed to have been married to his own mother for the last eight years, in what is being hailed as the social scandal of the decade.

Mr. Rex previously claimed to have grown up in one of the City's most troubled orphanages. However, a source within the Acheron has claimed that Teiresias, one of the network's most trusted interfaces, revealed his true origins yesterday.

“I didn’t know,” Oedipus told The Oracle, “I’d always believed my parents to be dead. I had no way of knowing they were even alive, let alone…”

Oedipus’ wife and mother, Jocasta Rex, has been unavailable for comment. She was last seen boarding a transport line to Outer Thebes, an area known for the number of suicides it attracts.

It is known she had been married once before to Laius, Mayor of one of the Thebian districts at the centre of the Sphinx epidemic. It was repoterd that he disappeared shortly before the announcement of the cure, under circumstances described by City PD as ‘suspicious’.

HERACLES ACQUITTED ON MISTRIAL TECHNICALITY

The City High Court finally came to a ruling today in the case of Heracles, the notorious figure at the centre of the murder trial which has gripped the City for the last four weeks.

Heracles, who worked for the House of Zeus as head security for fifty years before resigning under unknown circumstances last Theozenios, was found not guilty of the brutal slaying and dismemberment of his wife and two children.

According to sources familiar with the case, he was found lying unconscious in his home, surrounded by the bodies of his family, holding in his hand what was at first thought to be the murder weapon. However, forensic evidence regarding the blade was judged to have been inadmissible, and his insistence he was defending his family from an attacker swayed the jury.

Heracles has been unable to identify the assailant against which he was struggling. This is not the first time Heracles has been involved in accusations of violence. Rumours persist that he may have been the infamous “Thunderbolt of Zeus” while working with the company, despite no connection ever being proven between the Olympian patriarch and the unknown hitman.

CONTINUED PG.9

TRANSCRIPT ENDS

Delphi and the oracle are referenced several times.

A drachma is a greek unit of currency, hence why I have guessed that as the unit of price for the newspaper.

Teiresias, the one referenced as revealing Oedipus’ parentage, is a blind prophet of Apollo from Thebes, known for clairvoyance and being transformed into a woman for several years. he is referenced as being one of the first brains volunteered into the acheron in the fiction, and holds and manages all the knowledge of the acheron.

Theoxenia seems to be a descriptor for greek mythology stories in which characters show benevolence and hospitality to strangers who turn out to be disguised deities capable of reward. These stories encourage people to treat anyone they meet as potential disguised divinity.

ONWARD!

another oracle of delphi ad, the corner of the newspaper, and part of hades’ file on oedipus..

TRANSCRIPT BEGINS (pencil markings in orange)

Name: Oedipus Rex not given surname

Occupation: Doctor (Retired) Disgraced

Age: 52 No records- abandoned at birth. Estimate Height: 5��10” Weight: 132l[b]

Hair: Chestnut Eyes: N/A self-blind[ed]

Currently seeking to leave T[he] City after publicised patricide and maternal relations; will likely pla[…] ball given ample funding. EXPLOIT

END TRANSCRIPT

the tab at the side reads WITS. as well as oedipus’ fingerprints, there is a dirty handprint in the top right of the document. the newspaper appears to be stained with rings of tea or coffee.

at first I thought the photo of oedipus featured in hades’ document was this one, but it doesn’t quite match. it’s a good photo anyway.

NEXT

gunpowder tim’s dog tags from earlier are visible at the base of the photo again. A different part of Oedipus’ file is shown, showing a handprint and the start of a date on the photo of Oedipus, beginning 08/12. a map is shown too, with crosses through two locations and a circle around another. from what I can see the streets seem to mostly have fairly generic names.

sadly I have now reached image limit. when I have made the next post, I will link it here.

update I realised some of the stuff guessing cut off words and such that I did is pointless because the full documents for a bunch of them are in the goddamn cd book thing. and I kind of can’t be bothered to finish cause it feels like half the stuff I did was pointless. if you would be interested say so and maybe I will do more. but otherwise. nah

Luffy x male reader hcs ☆

Cuz yeaaaaa I never see this?? I’m sure there’s some male luffy simps out there somewhere !!

come get your food I know you exist!! <3

Now luffy’s not gentle with anyone

but if your a guy he assumes you can handle yourself, weak or not

Why? Because your a man! And men have to do what a man has to do

Luffy has mentioned multiple times to protect nami

because she’s a young girl! (Not a grown woman—she’s eight-TEEN)

robin is strong and has a devil fruit so she’s different!

nami has average feats besides some decent durability

but yeah so he’s not gentle at all

you may get treated like zoro and usopp

you two probably seem more like best friends than a couple

luffy drags you EVERYWHERE on your adventures!

like literally you don’t remember a time where you two are separated

which leads me to believe one of his love languages are quality time

playing together, fishing together, fighting side by side, exploring together

did you notice how many times I said together??

yes!! Because your never apart!!!

so, what’s the other love language??

why physical touch of course!

luffy has no concept of personal space

as we know

so he’s always slingshotting onto you, hopping on you back (even if your smaller), dragging you around, whatever!

he does this subconsciously of course

The crew gets this as well but with as touchy as he is with you, you can tell you two are the couple of the group

don’t bother with dates unless you want to have a eating competition

that’s a date he’ll gladly take on without RUINING

In fact he wins!

every time-

no matter what type of competition it is luffy will never hold back

not even to make you feel better 🤷‍♀️

if you’re just as hyper as him you two are the chaotic duo

nami is always scolding and punching you both

not that you learn your lesson or anything

you guys are always doing stupid stuff like challenges and pranks

and bothering your fellow straw hats when you get bored

🤪

With a more rational boyfriend

luffy doesn’t calm down at all

nor does he listen to you any better than nami

he drags you around on his silly adventures whether you want to or not

in fact that may be how you joined in the first place!

(you remind me of law—platonically)

Luffy always laughs and says “come on m/n it’ll be fun!” Whenever you express you don’t wanna do something

yeah he’s not a great listener

but he is good at picking up on feelings!

so if your genuinely sad he can tell straight away you aren’t your normal self, even if your the world’s best actor

m/n being more sentimental/emotional actually kinda goes hand in hand with luffy since he can pick up on those if nothing else

although you’ll be going through a roller coaster of said emotions-

at least he listens to your demands a little more

Unlike zoro for example as to where he doesn’t get to finish his sentences 🤦‍♀️😬

if luffy ever gifts you something it’ll either be so perfectly accurate (you probably think someone helped him but he did it by himself and didn’t think much of it)

or 😬😬😟

“gee..thanks luffy..”

”no problem m/n!” 😊👍

LOL

if your weak luffy won’t train with you-

you either train with zoro or get stronger with time

it’s not that he doesn’t want to

it just doesn’t cross his mind

he spent 10 years training, he thinks he’s pretty good

All he needs now is experience and adventure!

but if you ask him? Sure!

(im warning you this is training and he doesn’t hold back, especially since your a guy)

idk why luffy thinks guys can handle everything??

like dang you could be a lil gentle..?

anyway yeah

if your strong? Great!

now you can fight along side him :)

random

luffy tells you about everything and anything

Even stuff you don’t wanna know..

”OIII M/N COME LOOK A FISH POOPED IN THE OCEAN!! USOPP WASN’T LYING!”

what??

YUP I’m ending it there 😜

Hopefully my male readers enjoyed this!~ more op content coming soon💗

It's obviously not finished yet, but I already have headcanons regarding the objects that will be featured in the finished shot:

A hamfisted attempt at making a simple datapad somehow turned into a hamfisted attempt at making a whole desk

(The owner of this desk is supposed to be one of TFMR's main characters, but not sure who it would be at this point)

1. Dataslate (aka robot books)

Primitive version of Datapad

Can only read what's stored inside, cannot remove or add new pages

Advanced models can store audio/video files

Considered an outdated media, but still being used in important places regardless

Absurdly durable, like they can be used as floor tiles for couple millenia and they can still be perfectly functional

Sometimes used as tray, coaster, doorstop, hammer, and trivet

TFMR Ratchet used to throw these as self defense weapon, but later changed to wrenches which were cheaper to come by.

2. Databytes

Cybertronian equivalent of SD card

Its official name is 'Databyte', but everyone just calls it 'Chip'

Can be slotted into any hardware that can read data, including datapads and desktops

It's even possible to directly insert it to the back port of Cybertronian's body, but this is not recommended because who knows what's inside that chip?

Put a program in the chip, shove that chip into an empty drone, it moves according ro rhe program.

3. Datashelf

Basically bookshelf, but the books are databytes so the entire library is portable

Also works as a usb hub

More slots the better

4. Stickies

Sticky notes, but magnets instead of adhesive

The writing part is like really bendy plastic, but it cannot be rolled up or folded

Writing can be done by applying pressure with pen or pen like object

Produced in varying shapes and color

On Cybertron, where almost everything is made of metal, it's hard pressed to find where a aciky cannot stick.

Sometimes people stick this to the bck of someone's back as a form of mean joke, the message written on it usually goes along the line of "kick me im dumb".

Sketchbook Review

The cover is printed well and very durable. The pages are thick and I was surprised at how big the sketchbook is! I have a few mini square sketchbooks and they don't have nearly as many pages as this sketchbook. It also includes a back pocket, a ribbon, and an elastic clasp. Another surprising bit is the pages are honestly some of the smoothest pages I've ever felt. It's not a bad thing at all but I have just never touched paper this nice before lol. That does mean the way some materials react to the paper will be different, but none of my test materials bled through the pages. (only faint outlines/shadows but not full bleed). I genuinely adore this sketchbook and am so happy to have snagged one during preorders

In Gulu, Northern Uganda, startup Takataka Plastics is providing an innovative solution to plastic waste in the city.

Founded in 2020, the startup collects plastic waste from surrounding areas and converts this waste into affordable construction materials for the local community. Gulu is situated six hours away from the nearest recycling plant and the high transportation costs result in 60% of the city’s plastic being disposed of negligently.

The duo partnered to open a small collection centre to provide a circular economy solution to Uganda’s plastic waste.

“Now, Takataka Plastics can’t produce enough to keep up with the demand for our wall tiles, so we’re working on scaling up operations in Gulu City to make more products and create more jobs and a cleaner, healthier environment,” the startup writes.

Using modern polymer processing equipment manufactured in Uganda, Takataka (translating to “waste” in Swahili) is currently the only large-scale recycler of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastic waste in East Africa.

Their primary product is “TakaTiles;” tiles made from recycled PET plastic (often found in water and soda bottles and packaging) that offer greater durability than ceramic alternatives at a lower cost. TakaTiles have been in full-scale production since January 2023 and are being sold to hardware stores and construction companies across Gulu.

The startup is now also branching out to produce a range of other sustainable products, including plant pots, chairs, coasters, laptop holders, and more

[primussavethesemechs]

I don’t always think people take into account the strength vs durability difference in humans and cybertronians. Like yeah, everyone can at least acknowledge that it’d be incredibly easy for them to kill us if they so chose, and most even know it’d be pretty easy to unintentionally kill us by stepping on us, but have you truly considered just how easy it would be for bots to accidentally hurt us with minor mistakes?

A human playfully flicking the helm of bots when they’re being annoying or silly, and one day an overcharged bot tries to return the favor and quite literally blows the head off the human with a flick. It’s just another version of Superman’s “world made of cardboard” speech, everything on this organic planet is so tiny and fragile to them- even our metal structures aren’t as durable as cybertronian metal.

The extreme cases (as mentioned above) are often brought up but what about the small cases where nobody dies or is even fatally wounded but a just tiny movement leads to an injury? A bot playfully poking their charge and giving them a concussion or a bloody nose, or even a light tap to guide them away from a drop off that sends them flying onto their back a few feet away.

People account for slip ups that might make them hit human with full force or weight, which obviously will kill them, but what about the fact that even when they move slowly and carefully they’re still a few tons of hulking metal made to destroy things? Momentum and strength are somewhat relative to the perspective of size- to them they’ve made a small idle movement, only readjusted their pose, but to the human sitting on their shoulder who’s 1/10 their size, the entire World just tilted. A cybertronians sprinting speed would seem like a roller coaster to the poor person in their grip.

You bring that momentum difference into direct contact? Yeah, you’re gonna have some issues. The amount of whiplash cases Ratchet has to deal with because the bots haven’t learned to come to a complete stop before Carefully and Slowly picking their charge up… he’s gonna have a rage fueled aneurysm one of these days.

Imagine some poor speedster trying to save their human friend from the line of fire by snatching them out of the way, running and dodging as fast as possible to get them to safety, finally stopping and looking down in confusion at the limp body with an oddly angled neck 😬

Ratchets gonna have to start handing out human safety packets about about how to handle us without. Y’know. Killing us. No wonder he wants to get the hell off earth as soon as possible 💀

[creations-by-chaosfay]

What kind of batting would you recommend, in terms of warmth, durability, etc?

My mom uses a polyester-cotton blend because warm and inexpensive. Personally, I hate the stuff. The affordable option I recommend is cotton. It's what I use for nearly everything. My favorite is felted would batting. It can be washed and dried like cotton because it's preshrunk...but it's ratively expensive. Cotton is fantastic though, so stick with that on a small budget, and a cotton-poly blend if thr budget is especially tight. I find cotton-poly blends very stiff and unpleasant for anything other than decorative quilts and dining (wallhangings, coasters, etc).

My favorite brand is Warm & Natural, and they can be found nearly anywhere quilting supplies are sold.

Guys i just saw my ancient blind little mouse try something new, I'm so excited.

The thing is - because she's blind, her back legs are always in reverse and she doesn't want to do anything that requires any leap of faith because for all she knows shes plunging into an abyss.

Now.. i made this purchase around a year ago. Its a very smooth running rodent wheel that was advertised as fit for mice and extremely durable. The measurements were a bit misleading yada yada it's huge and pretty heavy for mice, but usable. I think the wheel is made of metal with some kind of ceramic or epoxy finish

This thing ticks all the boxes for her fears so i didnt expect her to ever run in it.

fuken huge? check hard to stop? check not much grip? check where am i? check

Her sisters didn't even like it and they were bigger and could see. Her new sisters, however, do. They treat it like a roller coaster ride, its great. Anyway, fast forward a week or two and my old Saartje has fear of missing out. Look at her confused ass discovering something new and exciting at her old age

[beenbaanbuun]

i’m gonna talk about things i like in varying amounts of detail bc life is overwhelming and thinking and talking about them actually really helps sometimes!

alton towers

okay so i made a 100+ page powerpoint on alton towers which i would give everyone access to but i can’t because i don’t know how to make myself anonymous as the creator and i’m not about to dox myself…

ANYWAY!!! alton towers is a theme park in staffordshire england! it’s the biggest theme park in the uk, tied for highest number of coasters (10) but way larger in terms of actual area of the park. it’s built on the grounds of a stately home that used to be owned by the earl of shrewsbury! a dark ride is actually based off of a local legend involving one of the earls. it’s called hex and it’s a vekoma madhouse and while i could go into so much detail about both the story and vekoma madhouses (because they’re an excellent piece of engineering that genuinely make me so happy to talk about) i have so much more to talk about and i don’t want this post to be miles long!

the oldest coaster there currently is nemesis: reborn which first opened in 1994 under the name nemesis. she was the first b&m inverted coaster to be built outside of the us and, like most alton towers coasters, was built specifically to fit the contours of the land. due to height restrictions set in place by the local council, alton towers cannot built any coasters above tree level so as not to be seen outside of the park. to combat this, alton towers actually build down and nemesis is a perfect example of them doing this. they quarried out the land first and used the removed rocks elsewhere in the park for theming (most notably in the katanga canyon theming!!). in november 2022 (at the end of the theme park season that runs from march-november), nemesis was closed for a refurbishment. she remained closed throughout 2023 and reopened in march 2024 under the new name. more theming was added, tracks were replaced to make them more durable and she also got a lick of paint to keep up with the updated lore! nemesis sub-terra, the dark ride that was opened in 2012 before promptly shutting in 2015, has even been reinstated and actors are scattered around this section of the park to keep things feeling alive.

there’s so much more to talk about for alton towers but i’ll keep it short and sweet! if anyone wants to ask any questions about it (or anything on here for that matter) then feel free to drop into my inbox! i’m happy to talk about any of these things more!!

five nights at freddy’s

specifically security breach actually…

which i get is not a popular opinion because the game was broken as fuck when it first came out but guys! the aesthetic!! the story!!! the open world!!!! MY FAVOURITE FATHER FIGURE GLAMROCK FREDDY!!!!! i don’t have a good relationship with my parents and glamrock freddy???? he fixed that. he cured me!!

anyway, that’s not important rn, i got distracted. i just love this game guys :((( it’s not necessarily scary but it is fun and the characters mean the world to me so genuinely. i laugh every time i see a ‘freddy! you’re supposed to be on lockdown’ meme because they’re so funny to me. i am doing things with this franchise rn that confuses even the likes of me (no spoilies though)!! and while no fnaf lore will ever make sense to me (especially not with the addition of AR… huh?!?) i still love the franchise and everything to do with it!!

bring me the horizon

shut up and let me ramble about the band that changed my life when i was a lonely little 12 year old!! i mean that so genuinely too, these guys have done so much for me and my personality and that is not a good thing but it’s certainly a thing. theyre the reason i’m an insufferable little emo and they have to face the consequences!!

and i’m not gonna say too much about them because i’ll never be able to express all my thoughts and feelings to the extent that i want to. i do however want to say that i’m proud to live where i live because of them. i’m proud of my accent because of them. i’m 90% sure i saw oli outside of a charli xcx concert in 2022 but that’s kind of irrelevant to my whole point. basically, they made me who i am today and you have them to thank for a lot!

(i literally wore my nex gen tshirt today and it was cool and epic)

this is it for now but there will be more in the future when it is not 2:20am and i am not on the verge of passing out!!!

How to Choose the Right Animal Coasters for Your Home Style

Coasters may seem like a small detail, but they play a big role in protecting your furniture and adding a touch of style to your space. If you're an animal lover, animal-themed coasters are a fun way to showcase your passion while keeping your tables safe from water rings and spills. However, with so many options available, it can be challenging to choose the right animal coasters that perfectly match your home’s style. Here’s a guide to help you find the perfect animal coasters that complement your decor and personal taste.

Understand Your Home’s Style

Before you start shopping for animal coasters, it’s essential to understand your home’s overall style. Whether your space is modern, rustic, bohemian, or minimalist, the right coasters can enhance your existing decor.

Modern: If your home features clean lines, neutral colors, and sleek furniture, you’ll want coasters that match this aesthetic. Look for animal coasters with simple designs, perhaps in black and white, or with abstract representations of animals.

Rustic: For a rustic or farmhouse-style home, coasters made from natural materials like wood or cork are ideal. Animal designs that feature earthy tones or depict animals in a natural setting can blend seamlessly with your decor.

Bohemian: A boho style is all about eclectic patterns, bright colors, and unique finds. Animal coasters that showcase vibrant designs, detailed illustrations, or exotic animals like elephants or peacocks would be a great fit.

Minimalist: If your home is minimalist, focus on simplicity and functionality. Choose animal coasters with clean lines, neutral colors, and subtle animal prints or silhouettes.

Consider the Materials

The material of your coasters can significantly impact their durability and how well they fit into your home decor. Different materials offer different benefits, so consider what’s most important for your lifestyle.

Wood: Wooden coasters are versatile and can fit into many home styles, especially rustic or traditional decor. They’re durable and offer a natural, warm look. Opt for coasters with animal engravings or painted designs to add a personalized touch.

Ceramic: Ceramic coasters often come in a wide range of designs and are ideal for homes with a more polished or modern aesthetic. They’re easy to clean and provide excellent protection against heat and moisture.

Cork: Cork coasters are lightweight, eco-friendly, and absorbent. They’re perfect for a casual or rustic style and can be found in a variety of animal prints and patterns.

Marble: If your home has a luxurious or contemporary vibe, marble coasters with subtle animal designs can add a touch of elegance. They’re durable, heavy, and easy to clean.

Resin: Resin coasters are highly customizable and can feature intricate animal designs, making them suitable for eclectic or bohemian styles. They’re also water-resistant and easy to maintain.

Match the Color Scheme

When choosing animal coasters, it’s crucial to consider your home’s color scheme. The right colors can either blend in with your existing decor or stand out as a statement piece.

Neutral Colors: For a minimalist or modern home, stick with neutral colors like white, gray, black, or beige. Animal coasters with these hues will effortlessly integrate into your decor without overwhelming the space.

Bold Colors: If your home is vibrant and full of life, don’t shy away from bold colors. Choose coasters with bright animal designs that can add a pop of color to your coffee table or dining area.

Complementary Colors: Consider the dominant colors in your room and choose coasters that complement them. For example, if your living room features a lot of blues and greens, coasters with animal designs in these colors will tie the room together.

Think About the Animal Theme

The animal theme you choose should reflect your personality and the atmosphere you want to create in your home. Here are some ideas:

Wildlife: Coasters featuring wildlife animals like lions, elephants, or wolves are perfect for those who love nature and adventure. These designs can add a sense of wildness and freedom to your space.

Pets: If you’re a pet owner, why not choose coasters that celebrate your love for your furry friends? Dog and cat-themed coasters are popular and can bring a cozy, homey feel to your space.

Birds: Bird-themed coasters, especially those featuring exotic or colorful birds, can add a touch of elegance and beauty to your home. They’re great for nature enthusiasts or anyone who loves the gracefulness of birds.

Farm Animals: For a farmhouse or country-style home, coasters with farm animals like cows, chickens, or sheep can add a playful and rustic charm.

Exotic Animals: Coasters featuring exotic animals like tigers, zebras, or tropical fish can bring a sense of adventure and uniqueness to your home. They’re perfect for a boho or eclectic style.

Functionality Matters

While aesthetics are important, don’t forget about the functionality of your coasters. Consider the following factors:

Absorbency: If you frequently use your coasters for cold drinks, choose coasters made from absorbent materials like cork or sandstone. These materials will soak up condensation and prevent water rings.

Heat Resistance: For hot drinks like coffee or tea, make sure your coasters are heat-resistant. Ceramic, marble, and resin coasters are good options for protecting your surfaces from heat damage.

Size: Consider the size of your coasters relative to your drinkware. They should be large enough to accommodate your cups or glasses comfortably. Standard-sized coasters typically work well for most drinkware, but if you use larger mugs or glasses, look for coasters that can handle them.

Ease of Cleaning: Coasters are bound to get dirty over time, so choose ones that are easy to clean. Materials like ceramic, resin, and marble can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, while cork and wood may require more gentle care.

Consider Customization

If you can’t find the perfect animal coasters that match your home style, consider customizing your own. Many retailers offer the option to create personalized coasters with your favorite animals, colors, and designs. This way, you can ensure that your coasters are a perfect fit for your decor and personality.

Conclusion

Choosing the right animal coasters for your home style is about balancing aesthetics, functionality, and personal preference. By considering your home’s style, the materials, color scheme, and theme, you can find the perfect coasters that not only protect your furniture but also add a touch of personality and charm to your space. Whether you prefer a sleek modern look, a cozy rustic vibe, or a vibrant bohemian feel, there’s a set of animal coasters out there that’s perfect for you.

My new handmade coasters, now available on my Etsy, at RommiesCrafts.

It took me quite a few tries to make them right; Working with resin proved to be a bit challenging for me, but I needed a good way to coat them, so they become waterproof and make sure they resist to heat.

It turned out well in the end and it's been a really interesting process.

The clay I used is air-dry clay from DAS, and I think it's the only type of clay I tried so far that actually dries evenly and doesn't make the coasters crack or break. It's really durable!

You can find these coasters (and more) in my Etsy shop.
