Carry On Countdown Day 18: Vessel
"The happy-bad tattoos got better. The sad tattoos were reborn. Clover. Foxglove. Sunlight. There was something magic about Baz, and Simon wore it on his skin." ~My Rosebud Boy, Rainbow Rowell
Simon contains his flowers in all kinds of vessels--glass vases, woven baskets, and his own body (which is a temple).
Today's pocket surprise: A vase of flowers
Friends, there is truly no way to do this Simon justice in a picture. Watch the video.

Four: I don’t understand why I’m so… anxious and on edge these days. Like it doesn’t make sense, I never used to be like this. At least not to this degree.
Warriors: Four. As an ICU nurse, what’s your job?
Four: Uh… take care of critically ill people?
Wars: What do you always have to do?
Four: Assume the worst is going to happen, have a plan in place, and always be ready for things to go wrong.
Wars: :)
Four: OK BUT—but that’s just work!
Legend, huffing: You think your brain doesn’t start taking that outside of work?
Four: YOU told me to disconnect work from the rest of my life!
Legend: Yeah! Because of stuff like this!
Sky: So what Legend’s saying is don’t be like him.
Legend: Exactly! Wait—

[Image description: a six panel digital comic, drawn with limited colours. The image backdrop is a light blue, all the panel backgrounds are in black-and-white, and all the speech bubbles are a light brown. Some of the text is obstructed, presumably referring to geographical locations.
Panel 1: PauseUnpause is speaking on a cell phone. Pause wears a brown leather jacket, and two small feathers are tucked behind his ear. There are trees visible behind him. Pause asks: “Beef?”
Panel 2: VintageBeef is speaking on a landline phone. Beef wears a blue baseball cap, his usual black shirt, and one strap of his white apron is also visible. Beef says: “Pause? Is that you?”
Panel 3: Pause is looking at an asphalt road going through a thick forest. There is a car on the road, parked at an unusual angle. Pause says: “Beef, are you still in [blank]?” Beef answers over the phone: “Yea, why?” Pause says: “Can you come pick me up? I’m near [blank], just off the highway. I think my car’s totaled.
Panel 4: A closeup of the car’s front. The car is damaged and there’s a crack in the front window. Off-screen, Beef says: “Oh my god. Are you okay? Are you hurt?!” Pause responds: “Yeah, I’m fine.”
Panel 5: A further closeup of the cracked window. Pause continues: “But I think... I think I might’ve hit someone. Or-“
Panel 6: A creature known as Ethoslab lies across the road, unconscious. Etho has a large mouth with four vampire-like fangs sticking out. There is dark purple discoloration all over his skin, primarily on the left side of his body. The tips of his fingers look sharp and claw-like. Etho is wearing a white ragged t-shirt, black pants and black shoes. Pause continues: “...or something”, with emphasis on “thing”.
Below the last panel, the watermark reads: comic by @paradise-and-cola. End description]
sooo it’s week one of @shepscapades‘ hermit redesign challenge and i already cheated big time. i didn’t feel like doing high fantasy, and thought “hey, what if i used classes from a different ttrpg system?”, and one thing let to another, and now i present to you a Monster of the Week Team Canada AU!
version without text below the cut because i’m really proud of the backgrounds!

Sometimes, when Butch is feeling particularly angry inside and all that anger boiling beneath the surface has been festering for far too long, he finds somewhere nice and secluded to let it all out. Whether that be through screaming at the top of his lungs or hammering his fists against the bulkiest tree trunk he can find until his knuckles are battered, bruised, and bleeding.
This specific occasion was no different except for when his temper flares this time, not only is his head hot but so are his fingertips. He disregards it in the moment, feeling nothing but his emotions, until—WHOOSH!!!
Flames whip from his fingertips abruptly, singeing the edges of his gloves and scorching the bark on the tree he had chosen as his target. Anger melts away fast and is replaced with surprise quickly followed by fear as the cowboy glances down at his hands, sooty vapor still rising from his finger tips.
Tumblr media
“What th’ fuck—….” He mutters under his breath with wide eyes and a frown, still in shock by the damage he had done. He looks from his hands and to the tree and then to his hands again. HE had done that.
Though he’s grateful he hadn’t set the thing on fire, he still feels bad for leaving an impression in the bark; it would be a reminder of one of his fits, actions and feelings he didn’t want to remember. On the other hand… could he use fire now? Was that something that came with becoming a demon??? If so, it was… admittedly kind of cool in a fucked up way. Perhaps some more practice was in order but, how the hell had he managed to do it in the first place?

So my hyperfixation on bead weaving is officially over, I learned how to crochet and I'm hooked (pin intended). I did learn from Woobles and the first one took so long to figure out but now I'm pretty lighting fast (hours compared to days)!
My first one is to the left and my most recent to the right. The white ghost also glows in the dark!

We are just now realizing that still being on the short list of kitten fosterers means that we're going to be having to handle weaning five 3-4 week old kittens that need to be fed every few hours while also having university four to six hours a day and honestly, that's not going to be very fun. We'd say "maybe we should have taken on less art challenges this year" but honestly we've been having a great time with the art challenges it's just the 4-6 hours of school that's been rapidly eroding our soul
#we speak#one of them is still feral enough to hiss at us and we've already been overlapping Older Kitten Socialization with our other junk#god. you don't realize how much free time you have until you lose it we guess. this is why we've been unemployed for the past 4 years#...outside of the disability we mean#god. how did we survive this the first time. every time we attend any educational institution we gain so much sympathy for kids and teens#imagine having to go through this shit for eight hours a day AND no one respects your autonomy so you can't even leave#AND a bunch of places have bullshit laws that makes it a legitimate crime for you to not be trapped in a tiny box like this#for eight hours a day#man. yknow sometimes we see kids online being dumb or uneducated or whatever and think that theyre cunts#but then we remember how much of a blatant human rights violation a lot of school is and we're like. man.#sure it would help if any of them actually looked shit up but honestly children are failed by the school system to a massive extent#and it's a miracle that we made it out of our own school experience with as much willingness to learn as we did#because it's genuinely fun to acquire new skills and knowledge and the current school system is set up in such a way#that it literally creates a pathological avoidance to the things and environments that are taught in it#like man we loved math as a kid and then school crushed that out of us with a burning passion#and now we flounder with budgeting. both because of the need to use every single piece of everything and not Waste things from upbringing#and because trying to sit down and actually legitimately budget things is irreversibly associated with math from school#which has of course contributed to our current poor money habits where if we spend money on anything it has to Last#and if it can't Last then it haunts us for the next fifteen years#children should be allowed more leeway online not only because they are still learning how existing Works#but because everyone and their dog is determined to make it impossible for them to pick what they want to do with their bodies and lives#honestly we think it contributes to this current puritanism thing. need permission to do anything. need an authority#these kids arent ever given the chance to be themselves without being told what to do. no wonder they flounder without an authority figure
