#bathtub teapot

[roboticchibitan]

5. teapot you'd buy

(there are so so so many I'd buy but there's a limit to adding pictures, alas)

6. definitely cursed

(i can't tell if the very cursed baby is a real teapot or a drawing, i hope you can tell me)

7. more work than tea is worth

(crab!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

8. you have to pay me to take this hone

Image description below cut due to length.

I am absolutely fascinated by the cowboy bathtub revolver teapot. What a combo! He's got his gun in case anyone jumps him while he's in the bath. No stagecoach robbery while this man's getting clean! Also, I'm pretty sure you're not the only person who's shown me an anatomical heart teapot and been like "I want it."

The first cursed teapot reminds me of one of the bad guys from Farscape. I'm pretty sure the baby pot is not a drawing but it might be AI art, which is against the rules, but you clearly didn't send me AI art on purpose so I'm not going to give you a hard time. The last cursed teapot.... yeah that's really cursed. Very cursed. Cursed indeed. So cursed.

I like both of your "more trouble than the tea is worth" teapots. The grape vine one is pretty, though it looks like it's not meant to be used because who wants to grip that handle? And the crab one is just fun.

Ok so fun fact the lips teapot is actually a Marilyn Monroe teapot from the 70s. I've been sent it multiple times because it is, indeed, very weird and uncomfortably sexual. The M&M teapot is also making a weirdly suggestive face, so I sense a theme here. Also, that M&M's eyebrows are in the wrong place (the lid isn't lined up perfectly}.

Image description:

9 photographs of teapots.

Photograph 1: a red anatomically correct heart teapot.

Photograph 2: A teapot in the shape of a cowboy in the bathtub. The handle and spout of the teapot are molded to look like a revolver. The bathtub is too small for the cowboy to spread out in, so his knees stick out of the water. Bubbles cover his nether bits and a cowboy boot sits on the side of the tub.

Photograph 3: a teapot in the shape of a head in a helmet. The handle is a naked man who is making contact with the head at his hands and one knee, as if he is trying to push the head.

Photograph 4: a silver teapot with a silver baby doll's head and body parts sticking out of it, as if the baby is wearing the teapot as a onesie. This photo is the one that may be AI generated.

Photograph 5: a marbled teapot in the shape of someone sitting in the fetal position. The material of the teapot is flesh colored and the handle is shaped like a spine. The spout is a golden metal tube protruding from the mouth.

Photograph 6: a blue teapot with a handle and lid handle in the shape of a grape vine. Right where the hand would go, a cluster of grapes hangs down.

Photograph 7: a blue and brown teapot in the shape of a crab. The lid is very small and shaped like a fish.

Photograph 8: 1970s Marilyn Monroe teapot, which is a white teapot with a spout that has very plush lips on the end and a mole on the body of the teapot near the spout.

Photograph 9: A tea for one set in the shape of a red M&M that is making a suggestive face.

🔥For the draw/write asks?

Thank you! ^^ Returning to this fic is a challenge I gladly accept :)

“Splendid. It’s amazing. I-isn’t it, d-dear brother?” “Tsk. I suppose it’s pretty decent tea. Stop salivating at him, your slobber will put him out,” Cain snarls at his brother and Hob carefully puts down the teapot and settles timidly on the chainmail covered armchair. “Ah, please, no need to worry. I’m not so easily extinguished-” he tries to stop the brothers quarreling. Cain scoffs and settles down opposite him while Abel darts around the room, teacup in hand, to stand near Hob. He smiles down at him. “That’s good to hear, my f-friend. We don’t want you to be uncomfortable, and s-sometimes Gregory throws over the b-bathtub, or-” Cain grunts, “Oh, stop it. The roof is the problem! There’s a hole in the roof and you still haven’t fixed it!” Abel looks at his brother anxiously and his voice trembles when he says, “B-but I-I’m afraid of h-heights…” “Nonsense!,” Cain exclaims and puts his teacup forcefully down on the table, making the china clink loudly. “What’s the worst that could happen?” “I-I could f-fall-” “Exactly! Nothing to be afraid of, dearest brother. You should be more afraid of what I’ll do to you if you don’t fix the roof soon!” Hob clears his throat awkwardly and opens his mouth to say something but Abel’s words of protest turn into a whine of fear at the sight of his brother rising from his chair with a look of rage spreading on his face. Hob stands up abruptly, letting his flames blaze a bit for show. Both brothers freeze and stare at him. He sighs. “Thank you for your hospitality…” ~~ “...but I can’t stay with them, my lord. I’m sorry. Their…antics…make me. More than uncomfortable.” Hob wrings his hands as Lord Morpheus stares down at him from where he’s sitting on the stairs leading up to his throne. “I see.” “I’m sorry, my lord. If I could just go back to the kitchens…” The Dreamlord hums quietly, a frown marring his perfect face. Hob feels frozen under his piercing, cold gaze.

𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐊𝐓𝐎𝐁𝐄𝐑 𝟐𝟑 DAY 26: SHOWER SEX Sōsuke Aizen x F! Arrancar! Reader

Requested by @muzansfangs ➡ Hi! Since you are literally one of my favorite authors, I would like to submit a request for the kinktober event! I would love to read Aizen + shower sex. I trust in your abilities blindly. Add whateve kinks you like! I don’t remember if I had to specify the gender of the reader. In that case, I would like f!reader. Thank you for your hard work and for blessing us with your works! tw: mdni. bathtub sex. praising. vag. arrancar! reader wc: 1.2k masterlist

The sound of dripping water echoing all around the biggest bathhouse you have ever seen. His head thrown back, his chocolate hair too. Arms strong but also lean helps his naked body to float as he grabs from the sides of the tub.

You take some time to admire his beautiful physique. Abs barely visible from over the water level, protruding collarbones, prominent Adam’s apple and the sharpest mandible framing his relaxing façade.

“What, (Name)?” he asks, surprising you with the tray and a cup of tea on your hands.

“I’m sorry, Aizen-sama. I… brought your tea, where should I leave it?” you ask, stuttering. How could you forget how much of a powerful being he is? Of course he could sense your presence… you’ve been created by himself.

Sosuke opens his eyes and after sighing, he turns his head to you. Him, in that sterile environment with everything so white as everything in Las Noches, stands out in such delightful imagery.

“Bring it to me” he commands, with a soft smile on his lips but eyes full of impure intentions.

You nod, and fast enough bring the tea closer to him. You are aware of his nudity, but still try to act as if he was fully clothed… even if your eyes couldn’t get away from the running drops coming from his wet hair to his chest.

Your lips barely part, letting soft sighs of warm breath scape in between them. You slowly kneel on the ground to serve him the tea, you shouldn’t be above your Lord.

Your pupils dilate as he lifts his back just a little, allowing some more of his belly to emerge from the water. Aizen Sosuke is the definition of temptation, of lust, of need…

“Heh… You like what you see?” he asks, breaking the enchantment all of a sudden. “Excuse me, Sir. I didn’t mean to look, I…” you quickly excuse yourself, although your cheeks get on fire and your breathing accelerated.

The ting of the porcelain cup on your hand echoes as much as the water drops… the more you tremble to keep it steady as you pretend to serve him, the more it resonates. And Aizen is delighted, because if there is something that pleases him is when people consider him a god. He enjoys intimidating you as everybody else.

“You seem to be having trouble to serve me a cup of tea today, (Name)… leave the teapot aside for me, please” he orders, always politely but still perversely.

You leave everything on the floor, bowing before him. “I’m sorry, Aizen-sama. I am so unworthy of serving you!” you repeat, hitting your forehead on the wet floor of his bathroom.

He takes his hand to his chin, observing your pathetic intent for mercy, and stops your whining.

“(Name), you might have trouble serving me tea… but I know you are good with other tasks, aren’t you? Come here, help me bathe” he commands, offering your hands the privilege of touching his godly -not so pure- flesh.

You blink, as he stands up. His whole anatomy surfaces, showing you his attributes with absolutely no shame. Aizen extents his hand for you to grab it, as the very depiction of a godly creature inviting you to heaven.

You swallow. A trembling hand of yours touches his, and with his help you stand up from the floor.

“Very well… now, use this to rub my chest” he indicates, giving you a piece of white cloth imbued in water and a soapy substance.

You take it in between your hands; the cloth is warm and so is the water and your core. Your quivering hand approaches his right pec with delicacy, almost as if you were about to touch something fragile.

Aizen smiles lovingly, looking at you in the same way a master looks at his dog. You are, to him, inferior. And still, cute, so very beautiful.

Slowly tracing circles on his flesh, you let a fine mantle of foam. Your eyes, fixed in the pores of his skin, are battling against your own need not to look any further… down, down where his sin start.

However, and besides not watching, pulled by the transgressive force of desire, you lost the battle against morality… you let your cheek to be pressed right in the middle of his chest.

He gasps, would it be a lie to say he wasn’t surprised. Aizen plans it all, but still… there are some types of physical contact that are simply unforeseen. A man whose life has always revolved around being lonely, breaking limits with no mercy for a higher mean, can still get amazed at a sudden show of love.

Sosuke takes some time to think; never has he ever stuttered… but this time he did; and the final decision meant for him to turn off his mind and let desire to take over. This time, as he learnt the Hogyoku was supposed to do, he just let his heart manifest its true desires…

A heavy hand falls on the crown of your head. Though hefty, it’s also delicate and caring. Aizen presses your face against his chest, you can hear the heart inside pumping harder and faster.

“You love me that much, (Name)?” “I love you more than much, my Lord… with all my soul” “Your soul? Mh… I see”

He sighs, not annoyed but pleased. And his hands pass around your waist, pulling you inside the tub swiftly.

You get your white and black uniform all wet, things he doesn’t mind and also enjoys. The transparency of it, showing hard nipples through. The soaking skirt, attaching to your skin, showing your sex.

“Come here” he murmurs, kissing you with a class that cannot be found in another man. It’s also perverse and deadly, and you are all about losing your life for it.

Slowly, softly… both sliding down. Hips straddled on his lap, the water playing with the hem of your skirt, making it float and dance with the way you hump on his hardness.

Sosuke presses you down with his hands on the small of your back; your hands, hang loosely on his shoulder blades. His lips attacking your neck, and the breasts he freed as he tore your uniform.

And the more his kisses go down, the more your back arches with him holding you with playful fingers along your spine. Your hair rains on your back, your cheeks tinted in black drops as your make up has started to smear.

“You know you are here because I created you? And you are here because I wanted to, right? He whispers, kissing in between your breasts, down your sternum.

“Yes, Aizen-sama. I am beyond grateful because you chose me, my Lord. I am completely devoted to you” you murmur, feeling his sex search for your entrance.

“Would you be a good girl and let me fuck you?” he asks, -in reality he doesn’t need to-

You alone lift your hips to help him accede faster to your insides, you are desperate… “Yes, my Lord… please, fuck me”

Aizen smirks, tracing circles with his index on your lower belly around your hollow. And with his free hand, he guides his shaft into you.

Who knows, maybe you were just one more of his Arrancar… Or maybe you were created from a piece of his own very soul, because when he penetrated you, it felt like two forces were finally rejoined…

A little more Fairy Lights art ✨

This time inspired by Lis’s drabble

Fairies live in holes. They live in wasps’ nests and old skulls and hollowed-out trees, not in wooden rectangles, even if those rectangles are painted a pretty scarlet with gold trim and have a real, tiny bathtub exactly Ed’s size that Stede can fill with a teapot—

Monastery Tour!

I promised @changingplumbob a tour, so here we go!

Selvadorada Monastery is located in the Belomisia jungle, just up ahead of the field station. It is surrounded by two ponds.

Once you step foot, look to your left. You'll see an out of season banana tree and a bush of death flower.

On your right, is another tree. A bergamot tree.

Since there are no arched window this large in-game, I used these archways for the windows. Pretty neat, huh?

Anyways, come inside. Please ignore the mailbox, Lakandiwa will get them later.

As soon as you step inside, you will see a small courtyard of some sort. A small garden. It is humid in the jungle, so the courtyard garden helps with the ventilation and lets in natural light.

There is a spirit house here, where the monici will leave fruits and incense. They grow a lemon tree, a plasma tree, herbs, and flowers in this garden. Chief Song arranges the flowers, that she often put in front of the altar, here.

Going back, on the left, is the prayer/meditation room. They pray to the Watcher here.

Lakandiwa also does his archeology work here when the prayer room isn't used.

On the corner, is the stair access to the basement.

Raul does his gemology work here. He has quite the setup and tools! Beside his setup are cabinets full of potions, and more books. An Omiscan chest is also stored here. The cauldron is for one of the Seekers. 😉

This is where their pantry is located as well. All of their food stores are kept here.

Going back to the first floor, on the right side from the main door, is where the communal bath is.

There are stools with soaps for the monici to use, to scrub grime away. The bathing pool also has steam!

You may remember there was a wooden basin here. I've changed it into a horse ranch bathtub instead. The basin was a shower, and I wanted them to relax there instead of just standing while bathing. The fountain provides them clean water, that they can collect with a bucket. There is a small basin there (the one with the towel) for washing the hands, brushing teeth, or just freshening up! A toilet is on the left.

Let's go upstairs!

This is their candle making station. Ignore the teacup there, Raul must've forgotten it there.

One teapot, one kettle, one sink!

The grill and the stove, with a rice cooker, and a bunch of spices on the right! I love the grill from horse ranch. It's very fitting for builds with an aesthetic like this!

This is the living room! Chief Song does her knitting project here, sometimes Kashvi will play the guitar. Lakandiwa would drink his tea here when he's done with chores. Raul would often doze on the rugs with Diego here.

The corridor that leads to the bedroom also has some interesting stuff!

Technology is limited here, but they have a typewriter for letters, or for journaling! A chess table, to keep the mind sharp, and an easel to sharpen the creative mind.

Now, let's head to the bedroom.

Six beds, with three narrow wardrobe (the other one is adjacent to the door), and two wash basins at both ends of the room. The wash basins are where they could wash up just before bed, and after they wake up!

They keep their windows open, to let in the night air.

Here's a view of the courtyard garden. It's my favorite part. Small, yes, but I could spend the day here just looking at the plants.

Good night! I hope you enjoyed!

4 Topics - Broken Link, Item Converted, etc.

1.) Q. The link to item X is broken

 - The link to the item Astro Solar System Light from TS4 Base Game converted by SkittlesSims is broken, or rather, their entire page of content is wiped…I’m not too sure if their page was wrongfully terminated, …possibly hacked? or maybe they have deactivated and a bot has taken over their url. 

I did find the original post archived on other tumblrs and I managed to get to the simfileshare page and download it from there. 

Here is the link below:

https://www.simfileshare.net/download/2883423/

RAR Name: SkittlesSims_4t2_OBJAstroSolarSystem.rar (193.9 kB)

2.) Q. Has item X been converted? / mislabeled on accident 

The item ‘Princess Cordelia’s Bathtub’ from TS4 BG was converted by TheNinthWave in the Sims 4 Bathroom Set from October 22, 2019. 

http://www.theninthwavesims.com/2019/10/the-sims-2-sims-4-base-game-bathroom-set.html

The set includes the following Sims 4 BG items: 

a) ‘Antique Toilet’

b) 'Pure Simplicity Sink’

c) 'Princess Cordelia’s Bathtub’

On accident, your 4t2 Base Game Buy page you have the 'Floral Hygiene Clawfoot’ Tub flagged as converted and have attached the same link for the 'Princess Cordelia’s Bathtub’ to it. 

The two items look practically the same, this was an easy mistake just waiting to happen. 

3.) Q. I installed item X in my game, but it’s broken. Help!

- Unfortunately, after installing TheNinthWave’s 4t2 conversion of the Princess Cordelia’s Bathtub, it has a blue shadow underneath the tub? no. it’s a blue block? maybe, water texture? I’m not too sure what it is. Please correct me if I’m wrong and educate me on the right terminology.

As well as, the Perfectly Simplicity Sink has an 'issue’ with counters, again this is what I saw in my game (this could be different in others) in which the counter shows in the sink.

I have provided the link to the CC by TheNinthWave again for your convenience below:

http://www.theninthwavesims.com/2019/10/the-sims-2-sims-4-base-game-bathroom-set.html

I do want to mentioned, I promptly messaged TheNinthWave first via Tumblr before messaging you about this. I have not received a response yet, however I only messaged them a few moments ago!!

4.) Optional Read/Answer Q. Are there TS4 Base Game Items not included in your catalog?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but are there some items from TS4 Base Game not included/listed on your buy catalog?

For example, this 4t2 conversion by Veranka:

https://veranka-downloads.tumblr.com/post/118789952976/4t2-kitchen-deco-download

Which includes items such as: 

Honeycomb Bottle Holder

Modernist Paper Towel Dispenser

Positronic Pro-Magnetic Knife Rack

Pro-Quality Knife Block Set

RAW Antique Teapot

etc.

Are these items from TS4 Base Game?

I haven’t played since 2018, so my memory is blurry.

Anyways, I hope this is useful and thank you so much for your time and dedication for our community! :)

Take care,

Cae

—-

Thank you for your submission! Good catch, the broken link has been fixed and so has the mix-up with the bathtubs. As for the problem with the conversion, we cannot provide technical support, so messaging the creator would be the best option here.

There are indeed some items missing from our Base Game page, as it’s still a work in progress, but we’re happy to say these (and more!) items have finally been added - unfortunately this made the BG page too long and we were forced to separate Decorative items from the rest of Buy Mode. The new page is available here!

Thank you again for your submission!

[electricpurrs]

hello everybody i am here again to infodump about a random subject that no one else cares about but i think is interesting and want to share

Jacques Carelman (born 1929 - died 2012) was a french painter, illustrator and designer. he has done many things in his life but the thing hes most known for is his book, "Catalogue d'objets introuvables" sometimes translated to "Catalog of fantastic things", or more accurately, "Catalogue of Unfindable Objects", first made in 1969 as a parody of the catalog of the french mail order company Manufrance.

as in what he was specifically parodying were mail order catalogues. common at the time, these were paper publications that showcased various cool and new everyday objects that the readers could order to buy from the mail (the old time equivalent of shopping on amazon)

what his book did, however, was illustrate an entire catalog of objects that are completely nonsense, absurd, useless, and as a whole either impossible to use or unnecessarily hard to, for no reason at all. possibly his own commentary on the consumerist culture of the time that motivated regular people to incessantly buy more and more superfluous objects for everyday use

some of the objects featured in the catalog include:

the famous Carelman Teapot, called by himself "Coffeepot for Masochistics", featured on the cover for "The Design of Everyday Things", book still studied to this day by designer majors

the bathtub with a door, to be easier to get in and out :)

the retro watch

the co-op glasses, for a good shared reading

the free pdf for the entire book with all objects can be found here, which is in italian because its the only pdf i could find. i think its a fun experience to skim through and just check all the weird shit in it!

finally, jacques carelman had some of the objects of his catalog actually made in real life and exhibited from november 1974 to january 1975 in La Vieille Charité, a museum in Marseille, France. heres a video i could find of the exhibition:

WIP Wednesday

Thank you for the tag, @carlos-in-glasses @thisbuildinghasfeelings @heartstringsduet @lemonlyman-dotcom 💝

This is for my TK's growing up years fic- it was hard not to post the whole thing of what happened before and after this part but I thought this worked best -

2014

“Dad, I’m tired,” TK said through a yawn. Owen sighed. He had memories of his son saying those exact words when he was four years old, perched on the edge of the bathtub. Owen would have been putting his son’s pajamas on after his bath, keeping one hand on his tiny son as he teetered back and forth on the edge so he didn’t fall back into the tub.

Which some things hadn’t changed; his son was still sitting on the edge of the tub, unable to keep still, teetering back and forth.

But he wasn’t that sleepy four-year-old anymore; he was twenty now, sporting two black eyes, and Owen was helping him sit up because his son was the literal definition of falling down drunk and Owen was scared if he let go of him, TK would fall back and smack his head on the tub.

“You need some water, bud,” Owen said.

“I got it,” Sophie said, coming back into the bathroom with a bottle of mineral water in hand. Owen was going to ask her to hold it for her brother, but before he could, Sophie had unscrewed the top and held it up to TK’s mouth, tilting it so he could drink it. TK put one hand on the water bottle, but Sophie didn’t let go of it.

“Thanks, Soph,” Owen said softly, as he watched his son turn his head away. Water dribbled down his chin and his shirt.

“No problem,” Sophie shrugged. With his free hand, Owen reached out and squeezed her shoulder. And took stock of the strapless shirt and frayed black shorts his daughter was wearing; both things seemed to make up about eight inches of fabric.

“Hey, Soph,” Owen said slowly. “Your clothes”.

“What about them?” Sophie said distractedly, not taking her eyes off her brother.

“I just wondered if you were going to put any clothes on in the near future,” Owen replied. Sophie shot him a quick glare over her shoulder.

“Dad, it’s like eighty-six degrees outside”. She said. “They’re just shorts. Every single person in the outside world is dressed like this”.

“I bet I could round up a few who aren’t”. Owen replied. “TK, have some more”. He held the water bottle up to his son’s face as TK groaned and shook his head.

“Reminder,” Sophie said as she tried to get TK to take it, “I’m fifteen. Little old for you to tell me what to wear”.

“I’m not telling you what to wear”. Owen corrected her. “I’m telling you what not to wear. And there’s no way your mother let you leave her house dressed like that”. He added.

“You know, Lorraine was here. Before you got back with TK,” Sophie said coolly. “And she didn’t have a problem with how I’m dressed. She thought I looked cute”.

“Hate to break it to you, kiddo,” Owen said as he went back to using both hands to keep TK from tipping over like the little teapot. “But Lorraine isn’t your parent. I am”. Owen’s fingers were kneading TK’s left side without him noticing. Someone had noticed, though. TK yelped like a puppy that had been stepped on.

“TK, I’m sorry,” Owen said, startled. “I didn’t think that would hurt”.

“No”. TK shook his head, his eyes not really focused on anything. “It didn’t. All good. Surprised me. Hands are cold”. Owen knew that was a complete lie. But he didn’t know what his son was trying to keep from him.

“Sophie, do me a favor,” Owen said quietly. “Hold your brother’s shoulders for me?”

“Okay,” Sophie said, standing up to rest her hands on her brother’s shoulders. “Why?”

“I want to check something”. Owen murmured softly, trying not to spook his son. He pulled up the bottom of TK’s shirt even as TK whined in protest and clumsily swiped at his hands. Owen quickly saw why; there was an array of angry purple bruises in the middle of his son’s torso.

Oh, hell no.

“TK”. Owen spoke softly, but firmly. “Who did this?”

“No one”. TK said. Then he groaned, “I don’t feel good”.

“Was it Malcolm?” Sophie asked. Her brother finally met her gaze, fear in his eyes.

“Soph, don’t,” he said. He looked like he was about to say something else, when he broke out of her grip and dropped to his knees in front of the open toilet and started vomiting again.

“It’s okay, it’s okay”. Owen murmured as he rubbed his son’s back. He knew that on top of everything else, TK’s position with those bruises couldn’t feel good.

Owen watched his son, vomiting and crying simultaneously and thought of the old adage; there wasn’t anything worse than seeing your child in pain that you couldn’t stop.

There was another thing Owen was certain of; whatever had happened in his son’s night before the police called Owen to pick him up, Owen wasn’t going to get it out of TK tonight.

After TK had gotten it out, he rested his head on the toilet while Owen wiped TK’s face with a cold washcloth.

“TK, you really want to put your head there?” Sophie asked. Her brother just grunted in response.

“He needs to have some more water and go to bed,” Owen said. “I’ll call your mother in the morning”. Sophie nodded and looked at her brother, worried.

“Hey, Soph”. Owen said softly.

“Yeah?” she asked.

“Before”. Owen said. “When you asked your brother if Malcolm did this to him. Who is Malcolm?”

“Oh”. Sophie looked down at her knees. “He’s… this guy”.

Owen gently bumped her elbow with his own. “I’m going to need a bit more than that, Soph”.

YEAR OF THE RAT!!!

Posted: February 12, 2008 Archived from the BonnyTymePyrate Archives

Dear Plague Rats,

Editing love notes for the Asylum book causes me to be at my computer far more frequently than in the recent past where I was away from it for months at a time.

This will not last.

But while it does, let’s talk about:

THE YEAR OF THE RAT!

Tht’s right my muffins! As of Feb. 7th, the Chinese New Year, 2008 is the Year of the Rat.

Shit, girl, whateva, I could have told you that….W14 bitches!

Celebrating with Sir Edward and Basil all this week. Basil got so excited he fell into the bathtub. Literally. Drowned Rat. Fortunately for him, I was in the tub at the time, recovering from my hanger/concrete injury, and so fished him out, uninjured, but rather embarrassed. It happens to the best of us, Basil…I feel quite safe in suggesting that my street/faceplant/oncoming car incident was more embarrassing.

Anyhow, Basil wanted me to show you his new favorite teapot…and your preview of Asylum merch to come…the Plague spreads, and quickly my friends…verrry quickly…

From the Asylum, Cell Block B, Cell W14, EA

Making time to play is crucial for the mental, emotional, and social development of children.

Making time to play is crucial for the mental, emotional, and social development of children. Play allows children to explore, create, and use their imagination. It also helps them to develop problem-solving skills, communication skills, and emotional resilience. As a parent or caregiver, it is important to provide children with a safe and engaging environment for play. In this blog post, we will explore some creative play ideas and toys that can enhance a child's playtime.

One creative play idea is to use pineapple LED lights. These lights are a fun and whimsical addition to any child's room. They provide a soft glow that creates a cozy and calming atmosphere. Children can use them to read, play, or simply relax. The pineapple LED lights come in various colors and designs, making them a versatile option for any child's room.

Another great toy for creative play is a wooden kitchen play set. This toy allows children to pretend to cook and bake, developing their creativity and imagination. Wooden kitchen play sets come with a variety of utensils and accessories, making them a fun and engaging toy for children of all ages.

Bath stickers are also a great addition to playtime. These foam stickers can be used to create stories and characters during bath time. Children can stick them on the walls or the bathtub, creating a fun and interactive environment. Bath stickers are also easy to clean and can be used over and over again.

For puzzle enthusiasts, a fairy jigsaw puzzle is a great option. These puzzles come in various sizes and designs, featuring fairies, unicorns, and other magical creatures. They provide hours of entertainment and help to develop problem-solving and cognitive skills.

The neon flamingo light is another fun addition to playtime. This light creates a fun and playful atmosphere, perfect for a child's room. It provides a soft glow that is calming and soothing, making it an ideal nightlight.

Children's play makeup is another toy that can enhance a child's playtime. These non-toxic makeup sets allow children to experiment with different looks and styles, promoting creativity and self-expression. They are also safe and easy to use, making them a great option for young children.

The unicorn tea set is another great toy for imaginative play. This set includes a teapot, cups, saucers, and spoons, allowing children to host their own tea party. It promotes social skills and communication, while also enhancing creativity and imagination.

For young children who love vehicles, the tractor night light is a great option. This light provides a soft glow and creates a fun and playful atmosphere. It is also easy to use and safe for children.

Cardboard playhouses are another great option for creative play. These playhouses come in various designs, including castles, houses, and spaceships. They provide a fun and interactive environment for children to play and imagine.

Foam bath stickers are another fun option for bath time. These stickers come in various shapes and designs, including animals, shapes, and letters. They can be used to create stories and characters during bath time, promoting creativity and imagination.

Non-toxic children's makeup is a must-have for young children who love to play dress-up. These makeup sets are safe and easy to use, allowing children to experiment with different looks and styles.

The wooden plane is another great toy for imaginative play. This toy allows children to pretend to fly and explore, promoting creativity and imagination. It is also durable and long-lasting, making it a great investment for parents and caregivers.

Magnetic dress-up dolls are another fun and engaging toy for children. These dolls come with various outfits and accessories, allowing children to mix and match and create their own unique styles. They promote creativity, imagination, and fine motor skills.

Lastly, the farmyard playset is another great option for imaginative play

She'd never expected the Harkonnen to follow the forms. Then again, she never expected to see Paul be put in a deathstill, or how quickly his water was cleaned and saved from the floor.

He had followed the forms and accepted her under what was his right. But his household already had a first wife. It wasn't hard to hear her at any point in this place. The way she wore their man's counters tingled and jingled, loudly or faintly-- there was no escaping the sound.

There were, however, silent moments in the quarters he had designated to her, tucked away, darker, and with more than one exit. it was not so unlike her Yali in this. In that safety they could better understand one another. The way he held himself and his curiosity in following the form contradicted the monster she had thought him and his kind to be.

it was the same with explaining what a bathtub was and its purpose within a a side room within those quarters.. That was how he had no smell. There was no sanitized sand pulled and sifted from hearth ashes to cleanse.

he cleansed with water.

She had asked if it washed away sin too, to waste such a holy thing.

How he had managed to coax her in wit him was something she couldn't recant, but could now explain how it worked, having only permitted an inch to fill the tub with, enough for them both to sit in and with very little to waste.

She had kept reaching for her hair, which felt softer and lighter now after that. That was another moment she never could have imagined, sitting so closely and so vulnerably with that which had once been her enemy, learning something that was considered basic childish knowledge to his people.

it was not so unlike this moment. She watched as the ball sunk softly to the bottom of the pot. The water began to change color as it bloomed, not so unlike the bath had before this.

The water did not wash away the smell this time, with the strange blossom it only emitted a very strange aroma. Chani's blue-within-blue eyes could not help but dart from the spout of the the hot kettle, to the teapot, to the bloom and the strange water, to the steam rising from it without a care for any water seal.

she could understand why it was considered a precious ceremony. She could only stare at how much water was lost.

"Is it..." she asked, lost in the tea and the ordinance with which it was made, despite her hands still being set in Fremen fashion. To be ready for anything less than action would be considered an insult to her companion. Thus was the way. " Like coffee?"

@essenceofhispenance will know what a princess is worth

It was the first time since the Battle of Arrakeen she and the Fremen woman had been housed in the same palace. She understood the politik that had been involved in Feyd's decision and silently approved of it. But there were other more human instincts at play, politik aside she had now had a chance to observe them together. There was a directness that Feyd and the Fremen woman shared, they were Salt of the Earth to borrow a phrase from Old Terra.

It made her feel inadequate and jealous in ways she was strangely unable to express. Which is why she had invited the Fremen woman to her chambers, on the surface it was for them to become acquainted but also to study her.

"Watch," She said and poured the hot water into the delicately crafted crystal teapot so that the tea ball bloomed into one of the brightly colored flowers of her homeworld. "These flowers are from the southern gardens on Kaitain. We wait all year for them to bloom, the ceremony held to celebrate the blooms was my sister Rugi's favorite."
