Oughh found myself a pretty decently priced refurbished 3ds xl to replace my old one and it's gonna be getting here within the next week I'm like vibrating with excitement. I was hoping to get a lime green w black accented one but most of those that I found were either region locked or wayyy too much money and honestly the all black one looks good anywayz so it's all good. More customizable that way tbh. Anyways tho I've spent soo much time working on my homebrewed 3ds I'm excited to transfer everything into a console w bigger screens!! Yippeeee

Salami - an 1830s hairstyle

I asked my friends for name suggestions and Yasha said Salami. So the hair is named Salami. No, Yasha is not a small child. Next time I'll ask my 8 month old coworker. Moving on.

NOT hat compatible

Uses parts from a GTW hair, two GF hairs, this hair and this hair

Diffuse map is a little wonky, mostly in the back (see the 360 of the dirty blonde swatch)

Vertices: 8654

Polygons: 11243

Appropriately tagged and all that

Known issues:

There are little gaps and weird mesh things happening inside this braid contraption. I wouldn't say it's particularly noticable or annoying.

Superb Owl Monday

Congratulations to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs for their 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023′s Super Bowl LVII! To celebrate, we present this rather smug-looking Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) from a potential gift to our collection, an untitled collection of hand-colored lithographs produced by the noted Berlin lithography and publishing house Winckelmann und Söhne sometime between 1840 and 1860. 

The firm was founded in 1828 by Johann Christian Winckelmann. It was particularly well known for producing children's books and educational plates, and it continued in operation for four generations until 1934. They were able to do color printing, but they also employed scores of youths who would hand color black and white lithographs, which is the case with this print.

A decision hasn’t been finalized, but we’re hoping that the luck of the Chiefs will rub off on us and we will soon see this volume as part of our collections.

I couldn’t stop staring at those long, slender fingers as they lifted the glass of red wine to her lips, as they carefully cut up the meat with her knife and gracefully brought the food to her mouth...

She looked at me and smiled. "You always tend to provoke controversy, just like a Venus flytrap. Do you long for a sword that much?"

having a one night stand with simon and thinking you’d never see him again, he was a good lay, giving you orgasm after orgasm and speaking absolute filth into your ear when he was deep inside your cunt. you’d say maybe the best you’ve ever had, but that didn’t stop you from leaving early in the morning from his sparsely decorated flat, a note left on his side table that simply said you’d had a good night and you hoped he did too, you even added a cute little smiley to the end. then you’d gone on with your day, with your life.

until, about 2 weeks after, there was a knock at your door, it’s late, already having put on your pjs and started searching your pantry for something to make for dinner. and when you open the door, your surprise is palpable, there simon stood, long, strong legs covered in cargo pants, pretty brown eyes locked on you, a black surgical mask covering the lower part of his face, hiding the long scar that you remember feeling rub against your thigh. he holds a bag of takeout and then proceeds to shoulder his way in, leaving a small kiss on your cheek through the mask before making his way to your couch.

you want to ask how he found your place, how he knew you were home, and why the hell he’s here. you actually do ask the third one, which he answers with a simple, gruff ��dinner”. you nod slowly, finding your way to the other end of the couch, but are met with a huff and a large hand pulling you closer to him, making sure your leg is pressed right up against his. he plates your food, then starts eating his own, makes small comments about the taste and asks questions about your day. the night seems almost normal, like something you’ve done before with him, disregarding the fact that you’d only been around each other for 2 hours tops and almost all of that time was spent by you trying to do something other than moan his name.

when you’re done you expect him to leave, to go on with his night, or maybe you to wake up from a dream. instead he makes his way to your bedroom, sits down on the bed and tells you how he can’t stop thinking about your lips around his cock. and yeah, you fold.

that’s how you end up learning that his stamina is insane, especially for an older guy, and he likes to see your face, makes sure to face you towards a mirror in full nelson or holds you in mating press with his pink (scarred) lips against yours. maybe you also learn that his phone lock screen is a color scarily similar to your irises and you see a file with your full name (one you hadn’t given him) front and center when he rolls over to unlock his phone, he says something about how he needs to send a message to ‘his team’ about dinner this weekend to meet his new bird, you wonder what kind of sports team he’s on, gotta be rugby with a build like his, but your thoughts don’t stray too far before he’s ready to go again, something about three being his lucky number, that this time it will take.
