"Heats" with Bunny!Lee Know

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ summary: Day 2 of my Bboki-Dwae collab with @bbokicidal <3

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ word count: ~900

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ warnings: gn!reader but theres pregnancy mentions in the last two quotes at the very very end of this post, constant mentions of breeding, 1 mention of a spank, overstimulation, some cum talk, using another person's clothes+scent to get off, this last one is marked with "⚠" but 1 mention of being forced down with a foot on ur head lol

DO NOT republish or translate+post my work!

❥ Has no real heat cycle, at least not an obvious one, since male rabbits are always ready to breed year-round.

❥ That being said, he will be very obsessive about breeding you from the very beginning of the year, usually February or March, all the way to September. You both quickly come to learn that it is because of rabbit's mating season! Which explains why he's constantly insatiable during this time frame and will usually want to go multiple rounds a day, every single day if you'll allow it.

❥ He cums super fast sometimes, so oral is not an option in his mind. He will taste you at least 3 times a day and he'll dig his nails into your thighs if you start trying to squirm away from overstimulation.

❥ Once he's got his fill and he's sure you've enjoyed yourself, he’s wasting no time to flip you onto your hands and knees. It’s his favorite position!! something something "Best for me to breed you thoroughly"

❥ He’s gonna keep your hole nice and stuffed while he roughs you around for as many rounds as he deems sufficient enough for his seed to take. (Spoiler: it's NEVER enough for him)

❥ And if he’s that deep in, that he’s giving in to his more 'primal' side, then you will be at it for hours before his mushy little brain pushes past the chants of “breed. breed. breed.” and remembers that you’re, in fact, a human and need a second to breathe.

❥ He quite literally does not care if you physically can not get pregnant... You not having the means to get pregnant or simply being on birth control will never stop him from talking or thinking about breeding you. If anything, he finds it even hotter because his minds convinces him that "If we try hard enough.."

❥ You don’t need lube when he has almost disgusting amounts of precum/cum leaking from his tip <3 So much so that you now have a towel drawer in your nightstand

❥ Much to his human side’s dismay, and to his rabbit side’s joy, he will cum buckets every 2nd time. Meaning that once that second round of the day is hitting, prepare to literally overflow due to the sheer amount of cum his heavy balls will pump into you.

❥ Oh, and don’t even think about letting any of it go to waste. The second a singular drop of his cum falls past the midpoint of your thigh, he is racing to shove it back inside where it belongs.

❥ Depending on how deep into this “headspace” he is he might even growl, which always comes out as a huff, and land a warning slap to your ass cheek. Loves to combine it with some crude comment (like the very first quote at the end of this post)

❥ If he’s reaally really into it he will mount you as best as he physically can: If you’re in a position similar to missionary, you’re getting shoved into a mating press and held in place. Or if you’re in a position similar to doggy style, you’re getting shoved flat into the sheets so he can straddle the backs of your thighs and spread your cheeks while he watches himself fuck into your tight hole <3

⚠ You didn't hear this from me but if he's particularly insatiable & has lost himself to his instincts, he may or may not hold you down with his foot on the back of your head while you're in downward doggy. This is so he can force you to sit still and fuck your brains out so that you stay pliant for him until he's ready to take a break <3 In this position, he fucks you soo much more aggressively/rougher than ever before so prepare to not be able to walk for a bit hehe

Now, let’s say he goes through one of these “mating season” fits while you’re nowhere near. Maybe in another country or state for whatever reason and there’s no possibility that you and him can reunite anytime soon.

❥ He WILL try to breed hump everything that smells like you. From using your towel(s) to tug one out all the way to humping your favorite spot on the couch until his dick is raw.

❥ This also means he will throw one of your clothes (cough 90% of the time is your worn underwear cough) onto a pillow and will rub his cock against it until he dirties it even more.

❥ But, he is a good boy. So he won’t be gross and leave his cum to seep into your clothes until you come home. He’ll be good and thoroughly clean whatever he lost his mind on and definitely will get horny again in the process

❥ You let him think he’s gotten away with it, but in reality? He cums so much that some stains just don’t go away…

Well... that and you leaving a semi-filled laundry basket just to come home to an empty basket and suspiciously clean clothes always gives him away.

“Tell this ungrateful, little hole to take what it's given and stop wasting.”

“Jagi- Fuck. Jagiya, stop wiggling so much. The deeper I am, the better I can breed you.”

"I need to cum- God, please, baby- you haveta' take it all. You owe me for being so fucking tight and wasting all my cum."

“If you keep spilling, I’ll have no choice but to fuck another couple of loads into you, Honey.”

"You're gonna be so fucking sexy, all nice and round with my kits in your tummy. Yeah? Right fucking here." As he puts his palm on your lower stomach 🥴

"Yeah? You're gonna give me a litter? Gonna have our babies runnin' around my parent's house while I stuff you full with even more of them."

[neil-gaiman]

good morning mr neil! a few users here have recalled a good omens talk you and terry attended around 2004-ish wherein you discussed one of your favorite things about the book was that it brought so many skinny goth gaiman fans and round nerdy pratchett fans together, and sir terry is delightfully quoted as saying that the couples "looked like lots of number 10s walking down the street together". Absolutely incredible and adorable image - I know many 1 and 0 couples myself haha! Do you recall this/have anything to add to the story?

Terry took an enormous delight in Good Omens signings because he loved that my fans (skinny, dressed in black, tattooed before that was common or with interesting hair colours ditto, "wearing their underwear on the outside" whatever that meant) and his (normally older, actually employed in real jobs, often wearing sweaters, sometimes carrying sweaters they had knitted themselves which they then presented to Terry along with a jar of homemade blackberry jam) stood in the same lines to get their books signed, and met and sometimes even married.

I don't remember the 10 comment but it sounds perfectly Terry.

Fanbinding: Our Objective Remains Unchanged by @citrusses

My first Drarry bind(!!), my first non-magical AU, and my first time gifting a bind to another fanbinder. @haxkattpress generously allowed me to use her beautiful typeset back in October, and I decided to gift her and the author a bound copy by way of saying thank you.

I know I'm supposed to talk about my bind, but it was her bind and description of this fic—“...the most creative and meticulously researched fics I have ever had the pleasure of reading"—that hooked me last year. I had never read a Drarry before, but I suddenly wanted to blind bind OORU based solely on the time and effort she dedicated to it.

So thank you, Haxkatt, for your generosity and for finding your way into friendship with me. Cheers to binding slowly, not rushing creativity, and becoming so absorbed with tedious details that the rest of the planet fades away.

And thank you, @citrusses, for writing such a wonderful AU to become immersed in. As soon as I finished binding my copy, I plopped myself on my couch and dove in. I loved it and love your work.

Also, I will never get over reading the physical copy of a fic I bound myself. Holding it in my hands, curled up on my couch, and disappearing into a story someone spent countless hours crafting for free is such a high.

Fanfic writers, I will never get over you.

Since this was a blind bind, I gleaned details from the typeset and the fic description, going for posh academic vibes to match the Oxford setting. I nearly fell out of my chair while sifting through my fabric stash; it matches the chapter headers perfectly. I kept my endbands simple and found beautiful art by Kenneth Crane for my dust jacket, making adjustments in Canva.

In the fic, Draco quotes poetry, so I pulled those for the flaps. Thank you to my dearest @phoenixortheflame for checking over my dust jacket for final tweaks—I've nicknamed her "The Finisher."

Bind details below for each copy—one for Haxkatt, one for citrusses, one for myself—bound for personal use only.

Bind details: bind style: full cloth bind, flatback(2), rounded&backed(1), sewn endpapers, ramie bands endpapers: 65lb tan cardstock fabric: quilt fabric from a quaint little shop in Ball Ground, Georgia, where my mother and grandmother live. Picking through fabric with them (quilt ideas for them, book ideas for me!) during December 2024 is a fond memory. This fabric came from that haul. book edge decoration: acrylic ink edges(2) and hand-marbled edges(1) from the @renegadeguild California meetup in February endbands: double faux core, 4mm leather core, Japanese silk thread typeset: @haxkattpress I love every.single.detail. dust jacket: designed in Canva; title font, Craw Modern; author font, Zing Rust Script; body & flap font, EB Garamond, The Seasons; art by Kenneth Crane

It was during these binds that I made the decision to keep detailed notes throughout my process. My ENDLESS thanks to @mourningmountainsbindery for sending me your awe-inspiring Google spreadsheet.

What a difference it makes, keeping a record of what you did right and what you'd change going forward. Sometimes you don't know until the bind is done, but now I can look back and learn from my mistakes or replicate my wins.

Now for my favorite part: BTS!

And finally, because no bind is complete without a little pain, I've included a few quotes between myself and @maleekamolscreates when it came to sanding a rounded fore-edge. The time it takes to get it right is a special type of agony.

Especially when you have to do it twice. Which I did, because Round 1 was not perfect and because I love pain.

The WINNER of the Tournament of fav tumblr rpg male romances is...

The Master of the Vollante

The Babe of Frontiers

The Heart of the Gate

WYLL RAVENGARD

Enjoy this two minute FANVIDEO DEDICATED TO HIM (don't miss the final quote, it is my favorite), I used the most appropriate song ever. Congrats, Wyll with a y!

(he is the hero, but he also needs a hero to sweep him off his feet, get it?)

With about 1235 votes, Wyll beat Garrus in the finals of the tournament. This gives him the title of best tumblr rpg blorbo and babygirl.

(more under cut about the Wyll's sweep and his character)

Wyll jumped into the tournament qualifying among 69 total characters, and being the most voted of his section in round zero! Wyll was also the most voted OVERALL in round one where he got about 6420 votes against Cullen (88% of votes). Round two saw him winning a very close competition against Zevran, and in round three he won with almost double the votes against Astarion! Again with double the votes he won against Dorian Pavus in the semifinals!

Very appropriate for him to win as his character is truly a romantic at heart and his actor even revealed in an interview that the romantic scenes were his favorite to film.

Wyll is a companion and romancable option for any gender in Baldur's Gate 3. You will meet him while he is in pursuit of a devil, just to find out that the honor and code he is trying to live by might be clashing with the path he could be choosing.

Wyll's romance has a kiss that has been nominated (and won) for "favorite kiss ever in a rpg game by me and for my opinion only and I just love it".

Man who will crack a joke when you least expect it

EVEN WHEN IT REALLY IS NOT THE TIME

Just to turn around and offer you the most heart shattering and unwavering support

Monster smasher (in all senses) hero, who truly needs someone at his side who makes sure he fights his own battles too, not just the trials of the coast!

Very happy to see he is currently (with all the biases and limitations of such polls, of course) the favorite romance in the rpg fandoms here on tumblr (for male characters)!!

Please, make sure to also jump in the female characters tournament!!

Also, CONGRATULATIONS TO GARRUS who came second in the tournament, and FENRIS who came third! (as he had more votes than Dorian, in the semifinals)

*In the fanvideo there are the seven clips that are not from Wyll games. I wanted to write them down as this is supposed to be a rec for his romance, so I don't want to trick people!

00:16 I modded Wyll into Karlach and used Astarion as player character (Karlach romance scene act 3)

00:38 Astarion romance scene, I played as Wyll but I flipped the character with the ring of metamorph mod so Wyll could pick up Astarion

00:50 Like the first clip, this is Karlach scene from act 3

00:51 I modded Karlach into Wyll, this is her scene from act 1

00:53 I modded Shadowheart into Astarion and I was playing as Wyll, this is Shadowheart romance scene in act 1

00:59 This is Astarion romance scene in act 2, I was playing as Wyll

01:07 The hug is from Astarion romance, epilogue, where I was playing as Wyll

[five-thousand-loaves-of-bread]

never watched the good doctor n never plan to. so maybe not good person talk about this. but never plan to watch it because in fact kinda hate it (mainly because once someone be ableist about high support needs autism n excuse it using shaun & say how they know what HSN is because they call shaun is, n quoting, “very high support needs” n he very. much. not. but anyway) — so this also give weight to what am going say

do see how people make fun of shaun (main character). like “i am a surgeon/sturgeon” memes n so much more. my favorite show house md & keep especially see meme compare house with sean autism to make fun of shaun—make fun of irony of “shaun be explicit autistic but bad autism representation & house not supposed to be / not explicit (depend on interpretation) autistic but somehow way better autism rep than shaun” situation. like:

[id: two meme compare sean with house about autism.

1: left side is shaun screaming/meltdown in “i am surgeon” scene with “bad autism rep” write on top. right side house in prison suit with “good autism rep” write on top.

2: twitter screenshot from rooster @/ househiscane. left is picture of shaun n have “autistic doctor” non capitalized on top. right is picture of house with stereo n “AUTISTIC doctor” on top, with “AUTISTIC” in all caps. at time of screenshot, have 648k views.

end id]

n again, never watched the good doctor. so maybe in show there truly part where not great n ableist n problematic autism rep. BUT.

from all these memes. n all these people justify how they hate sean how them make fun of shaun is okay. don’t see evidence for how shaun & show represent autism in some truly problematic way.

instead. see visibly autistic person. see people describe trait of visibly autistic person. see people make fun of visibly autistic traits. see a visibly autistic and low support needs person.

see same rhetoric used by non autistic AND AUTISTIC people to make fun of n be ableist to me, visible autistic (high support needs) person. that am embarrassing. that am stereotype. that “no autistic person act like this.” that “you make me embarrassed be autistic.” that am make autistic people look bad. the r word.

every single one of those thing, have heard it also be use call shaun.

versus. house, he’s asshole, he’s visibly asshole, n because of that he’s dynamic he’s well rounded. but he’s not visibly autistic.

n so suspect in big part, or even, entire unspoken point of these comparison, or meme against shaun, is because. house is not visibly autistic so relatable n thus good to audience of mainly high masking autustics. he the real autism rep. he the good autism rep. he the ACTUALLY autistic rep. shaun is visibly autistic n thus not.

from crowd that champion unmasking! be free! be yourself! but say nothing, or in this case nothing good, about people who cannot mask or be put in genuine life danger if choose unmask. from crowd that say autistic meltdowns not tantrum! normalize autistic meltdown! it’s okay! don’t record or make fun of or comment on someone’s worst moments! but make fun of visibly autistic person meltdown in public.

although should not be surprised. should not be! this same crowd that not know what visibly autistic actually is. or even not believe it even exist. same crowd that think unmasking will make them visibly autistic same way it make me visibly autistic. same crowd that think it mean just some occasional happy hand flapping. same crowd that call themselves visibly autistic because they do those occasional hand flapping n in next sentence complain about be told “but you don’t look autistic.” same crowd that say autism not have look. same crowd that permanently group autism into invisibly disability.

same crowd that cannot fathom autistic person different from them.

same crowd that bully n exclude n speak over n be ableist towards me.

like it the autism show to acceptable make fun of, it the autistic character to acceptable make fun of. it the show n character where u can let out all your offensive edgy ableist anti-autistic feelings, go mask off about it. it acceptable. everyone do it. even autistic people do it. especially autistic people do it. especially high masking autistic do it. autistic people who do it n justify it okay because they autistic n that grant them free pass.

criticize how any show represent autism badly problematically. that okay! that acceptable! that great! not telling you you can’t. — don’t doubt in the good doctor there not parts that make you wince in bad way because it speak terribly for autism.

but if all your “reasoning” for why that autism rep is. traits of visibly autistic person. or, (not applicable in this case), traits of high support needs & traits of level 2/3 autism. it’s not criticism you just ableist.

you all say visibly autistic people get enough rep already that it’s time for low support needs invisibly autistic high masking autistic women (& white—but shhh that part shouldn’t be say out loud) be in center of representation.

you all can’t even handle a visibly autistic character that’s low support needs and CISGENDER WHITE MAN.

once again. am hate this fucking show. n am here defending it.

is it genuinely bad rep or is character just visibly autistic.

Round 3 - Reptilia - Caprimulgiformes

(Sources - 1, 2, 3, 4)

As we move into the Strisores clade, our next order are the Caprimulgiformes, commonly known as “nightjars”, “bugeaters”, or “nighthawks”. Caprimulgiformes is composed on one family, Caprimulgidae, and 19 genera.

Nightjars are medium-sized nocturnal or crepuscular birds, characterised by long pointed wings, short legs with small feet, and short beaks at the tip of a large mouth. Their primary source of food are night-flying insects, and they fill a similar role to insect-eating bats. Nightjars usually catch their prey by flying through insects with their wide mouths open. They have soft, cryptic plumage, allowing them to camouflage against trees while they sleep during the days. They have rictal bristles around their beak which function similarly to whiskers. Nightjars live on all continents except Antarctica, and some islands, in almost all habitats aside from the most arid deserts.

Nightjars are generally solitary, but will form flocks for the purpose of migration and/or for mating displays. They usually nest on the ground, laying one or two patterned eggs directly onto bare ground. It has been suggested and quoted that nightjars can move their eggs and chicks from the nesting site in the event of danger by carrying them in their mouths, but there is little evidence to support this idea. The nocturnal and secretive nature of nightjars makes it hard to study their behavior. It is unknown whether nightjars mate for life, but they are monogamous for the duration of the mating season.

Strisores have a well-represented fossil record, with fossils of most major strisorean lineages known from the Paleogene. Strisores evolved in the Eocene, with its two main extant lineages separating about 60–55 million years ago. At around 40 mya, the common ancestors of Caprimulgidae and Nyctibiidae diverged from those of the oilbird and frogmouths.

Propaganda under the cut:

The Common Poorwill (Phalaenoptilus nuttallii) is one of the only birds that undergoes a form of hibernation, becoming torpid and with a much reduced body temperature for weeks or months. Other nightjars can also enter a state of torpor, but for shorter periods.

The European Nightjar (Caprimulgus europaeus) is also known as the Common Goatsucker. This, along with their genus name, refers to an old myth that it would suckle from goats at night, causing them to cease to give milk. (Nightjars do not do this)

Nightjars have a reflective tapetum lucidum at the back of their eyes, causing their eyes to “glow” when lit up at night.

Nightjars do almost everything on the wing, including eating and drinking.

Several comic book heroes use the pseudonym “nighthawk”, including the detective Nelson Lee in “The Nelson Lee Library”, a Harvey Comics superhero, the cowboy Hannibal Hawkes in the DC Comics Universe, and several characters within the Marvel Comics Universe. In fact, there is an abundance of media using the name “nighthawk”, from art pieces, to films, to music, to sports teams, to racehorses, to aircraft, motorcycles, firearms, and amusement park rides. It’s possible that many of the people using this name only know that the nighthawk is a nocturnal bird, and not so much that it’s a small, big-mouthed, insect-eater.

*Note: contains Rivals (book and show) spoilers!*

Ok, I lied – here's one more round-up of my favorite quotes now that I've finished reading Rivals, featuring: Gertrude helping Taggie and Rupert fall in love (alternatively titled: Rupert realizing both Taggie and Gertrude are actual angels)! <3

This was inspired by @rosehathawhey's post showing Rupert warming up to and falling in love with Gertrude in season 1, and also by @mckittenpants's analysis on that post noting that Rupert showing his fondness and affection for Gertrude is a (more acceptable) way of showing how he really feels about Taggie. 😭

[hotvintagepoll]

Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire (Top Hat, Swing Time, The Gay Divorcée)—When they danced, they made their character's thoughts visible, letting us in on their intimacy. A quote from a 1995 NYTimes article: "A kind of spontaneous combustion took place when they danced together; they enhanced each other, as all good couples do. Other actresses cast opposite Astaire were invariably drawn into his orbit, overwhelmed by his charm. Only Rogers held her ground."

Jean Arthur and Joel McCrea (Adventure in Manhattan, The More The Merrier)—They were in Adventure in Manhattan (1936) and The More the Merrier (1943) together, and the stoop scene in the latter film is pure molten sex on celluloid. Their chemistry is palpable in a way that has made people I’m watching it with feel the need to turn away, it is a longing that I’ve failed to see captured post-Hays Code so the fact that it got past the censors during is doubly insane. It’s a scene that you need to catch your breath at the end of, and every intimacy coordinator in Hollywood should be required to study it. [stoop scene video under the cut]

Fred and Ginger:

Oh my gosh, just watching them dance together. They can move around the floor like two parts of a whole, making incredibly difficult moves look effortlessly smooth. Or they can tap side by side, clearly equals, but with their own style. But, whether dancing or not, they make you believe their characters belong together when they're on the screen.

Why are they the hottest? They have so much chemistry when they're dancing together, even in plots where she doesn't like him at first there are always sparks when they're dancing, he's always down so bad for her in every single film, and their dancing is so energetic and so full of joy and so much fun to watch.

God Top Hat just…I cry a little watching Cheek to Cheek, they’re just so beautiful in that sequence

Macaque: Sun Wukong is playing hard to get. Little do they know, I'm a master at playing hard to get rid of.

💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑

Sun Wukong: Go fuck yourself.

Macaque, smugly: Sure, but only if you watch

💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑

Macaque: Wake up! The sun is shining!

Sun Wukong: What do you want me to do, photosynthesis?

💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑

Macaque: I think you're still suffering the effects of your party last night.

Sun Wukong: All I drank was peach wine!

Macaque: How many?

Sun Wukong: Eightyleven!

💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑

Macaque: The stars are so beautiful…

Sun Wukong: They're just giant balls of gas.

Macaque: You know what, if you're just going to ruin this, then-

Sun Wukong: And yet none of them are as huge as my love for you.

Macaque: Oh…

💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑

Macaque: **banging his tail on the Peachtree out of frustration**

Sun Wukong: Stop that. How would YOU feel if I banged you on the Peachtree?

Macaque: I— I don’t know the correct answer to that question.

💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑💜🍑

Macaque: I feel like doing something stupid.

Sun Wukong: I’m stupid, do me.

Empyrean Events: Welcome Post

This blog is hosted by @slytherin-pen. I’d like to welcome you to Empyrean Events, a one-stop shop dedicated to Appreciation Weeks for the Empyrean series. It's my pleasure to provide you with a year's worth of Appreciation Weeks and prompts for your favorite characters and ships. Before the fun starts, let’s go over some things:

1. Everything is accepted! Fics, art, mood boards, headcanons, playlists, quotes, etc.

2. As this blog will be ran year-round, I will accept submissions no matter the week. Posting a Xaden fic during Imogen week? That’s fine! As long as you tag @empyreanevents your post will still be reblogged, you just won’t be added to that week’s Masterlist.

3. If you’re creating fan art, please keep in mind that AI or POC characters being whitewashed will not be promoted.

4. Have fun! The purpose of this blog is to expand our community and help other creators within the fandom find each other. Don’t take it too seriously. The prompts are meant to inspire and encourage you to create, but they are up for interpretation and not an end-all-be-all.

If you have any suggestions or questions, the ask box and messages are open, and I would love to hear from you!

Round 2, Match 37: Giovanni Potage vs. Ingo

Submitted kids:

Giovanni Potage: Molly Blyndeff, (potentially) Sylvie Ashling, Crusher, Dark Star, Ben, Car Crash/Fred Donaldson, Spike, Flamethrower

Ingo: Akari and Rei

Propaganda under the cut!

Giovanni Potage:

1. “while it is debatable that he adopted sylvie, it's a 100% that he adopted molly. because. well. he kidnapped her because her dad sucks.”

2. “IT'S CANON! Or at least half Canon. Giovanni kidnaps Molly to get her away from her terrible family. Since Molly and Sylvie are a package deal, he's often added to the found family. Sometimes a family is a 15 year old college graduate, a depressed and anxious 12 year old, and a 19 year old with the power of soup.”

3. "this is an actual line from the book (Prison Of Plastic) that basically confirms it: *“Eww. Parents,” he spat, forgetting that he himself essentially had six kids of his own with another on the way. Possibly two.*

we love ourselves a soup himbo with like eight kids. okay most of them are his friends but you see that quote. he sees them as his own kids"

Ingo:

“Old man and the feral children he stole from the past”

To quote @dduane...

(sigh) One of those Split The Difference days. (1) Go up to town & have a haircut with your Pricey Fabulous Hairdresser, and find that (as you expected) she's still just as fabulous as always. (2) Go to lunch at a favorite place & find that their prices have tripled and their quality has halved.

Usually the only reason I delete somewhere from Maps & Records is if they've closed for good. In this instance it was because we were deeply disappointed. It had been literally years since we last got in there (lunch was new, they're usually evenings-only by which time we're usually back home) so assuming there'd be no changes was probably a bit naïve. However, these changes were a bit too much. We won't be going back.

Not naming it since this isn't a review, just a personal DD / PM opinion not apparently shared by the many others we saw and heard having a good time.

In other news, the Museum on Kildare Street is as awesome as ever. Today's was an unprepared visit (in particular, no polarising filter to cut down on reflections) so these phonecam snaps don't do the exhibits justice.

For reference, photography yes, flash photography no.

More peacefully, here's the upper stone of a quern (flour mill).

it was turned using a handle in the offset hole while grain, poured into the middle hole, is ground between the upper and lower stones. These have been "dressed" (cut with grooves) to grind better and feed the flour out. That flour, coming out round the edges, lands on a board, cloth or skin.

This example is a more advanced modern version, though the principal is exactly the same.

The carved design on the museum's example may have been for reasons of Ritual or Religion, but IMO (YMMV) it was just as likely done because someone could, to make it Look Nice.

People are like that. :->
