Obelisk the Tormentor
I have been buying used Yu-Gi-Oh! cards from my local game and comic shop for a few months now. There is always one or two foil or special cards. I have gotten some pretty good cards from buying them this way, but I had never gotten a Monster card that was so special. I watched all of Duel Monsters, so for me an Egyptian God Card is so special. It’s not actually very valuable, not in the best condition, but it made me so happy. I was going through the pack I just bought, expecting that the first card (a Fusion monster) would be the most valuable/powerful card, and then I saw this. Obelisk isn’t my favorite card, or even my favorite of the Egyptian God Cards, Slifer the Sky Dragon is my favorite God and Blue-Eyes White Dragon is my favorite card. I don’t have either of those, but I was still happy to get this.
Seto Kaiba is my favorite character

Do you want to buy the Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum? It may cost you a bit more than you would imagine. A laughably larger amount more.

This product will always be the reason why hobby shops will always have a special place in my heart.

Can someone please explain to me WHY no one can accept that I knit for pleasure?? Every time someone compliments me on my knitting they ask me if I've thought about selling it. NO GOD DAMMIIT NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE A SIDE HUSTLE
It would take all the pleasure out of it.
Bring back people doing things for fun. Jesus.

Did you know that Ingo and Emmet were officially featured in a 3DS theme? This theme is called "Pokemon Mate" or "Pokemon Friends" in the US and it featured several characters from Pokemon BW!! This was part of the Pokemon Mate line in Japan (where the chibi Submas keychains came from) and it released merch of Skyla, Submas, Elesa, N, Cheren, Hilbert, and Hilda!
This theme was the last thing I managed to download on my 3DS before the eShop and the Theme Shop shut down. Now, it is my current theme and it's perfect for my run of Pokemon White! That, and it features several of my favorite characters from Gen 5, including the funny train men!!
You can see it in action in the video below!

(to know more about the story and the calendar on pre-order check out previous posts!)
August’s big thing is actually something they did many times already, but in the comfort of their own environment. This time, Allura booked their performance, one of her favorites, for a party - proud friend as she was, never shutting up about how many competitions they won her.
The standing ovation they get, seems accurate for the work they both put into getting there.

i actually hate the whole "buying books and reading books are two different hobbies XD" thing. like you guys booktube / booktok already has a huge consumerism issue, we shouldn't make "i have a spending problem" into a funny little quirky trait.
