You know, I'm always wondering if Tori still has scarring from the explosion that burned her face?

no, she got magical ninja healing immediately and has no permanent scarring. she DOES have a scar from being stabbed in the neck tho, from being delayed access to magical ninja healing. this is how i've decided ninja scars work haha

"Freddy Marbic."

An  imposing marble sculpture bears a striking resemblance to a lifelike inflatable chair.

Freddy believes he is composed of plastic, oblivious to the fact that he is, in reality, crafted from pristine Carrara marble. Even when confronted with this truth, he simply dismisses it. In an era where opinions often overshadow facts, Freddy serves as a call to maintain a critical perspective on the world around us.

It was time to throw out a threadbare pyjama top. I removed the buttons from the top first though. They might come in handy one day for a mending job and plastic buttons don't really belong in landfill.

I am still thinking about tmagp 2, did you know that ep was written specifically for me?

I feel like voteblue people have such insular lives. Because they always treat democrat war crimes as some kind of thing that happens to an 'other.'

I know it's largely racist white people who aren't recent immigrants, but it just makes me wonder.

You know your life could just as easily be ruined by an American war campaign, right? Without a draft.

If you have family, even distant family, who live in another country. If you scrounge enough money to ever go abroad on a vacation. If you have an online friend who lives in a different country than you.

It could be you. It could be yourself, stranded with the US embassy refusing to save you. It could be your family under rubble. It could be your friend, murdered by your own taxpayer dollars.

There is nothing special about Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, etc that makes it specifically bombable. If politics in a region you have any connections to takes a wrong turn, that region would end up just the same.

The US war machine is indiscriminate. You will not find peace from fascism by voting for fascists. Politicians have continued to move right and have continued to strip us of our freedoms. The Democratic playbook is centered on making you think the other is worse, and yet the creation of the DHS and ICE were bipartisan, and the ACA was a Republican plan.

They promise things will get better if you vote Democrat enough, but Obama was at least four full months of a supermajority, but after promising to codeify Roe v Wade his first day in office and having the Freedom of Choice act introduced to Congress, he simply 'put it on the backburner.' Instead, he was the first US president to extrajudicially kill Americans. He did this with a drone strike, murdering Samir Khan and Anwar al-Awlaki. Al-Awlaki's sixteen year old son, Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, was killed the same way days later. In Yemen. In a country we were not at war with.

Even when they promise it, even when they have the means to fulfill that promise, even when that promise is sitting right in front of them, Democrats will not act. Because they only care that they use that boogeyman of "Republicans" as a carrot on a stick for votes. And the worse Republicans get, the better it makes them look, the less they have to reign themselves in on actions that would be unfanthomable to even a Republican 20 years ago - Biden has done less to reign in Israel than Bush, Nixon, or Reagan, our three worst presidents.

Things will never get better because a democrat is in office. Things won't even stop getting worse.

But it could be you, who's life is ruined by an American bomb.

It could be you.

STATIONERY RAMBLE AHEAD IM AUTISTIC SO BEWARB

i really wanna make shitajikis (writing boards) for my store and for conventions but its such a weird specific thing!!! i only just learned about how theres like collectors out there for short runs of shitajikis with anime art on em and i really like using mine for writing and drawing so now i really wanna make them with MY art on em!!!

BUT ough auhgijk is that too  specific. is that too niche. like ik theres folks that just collect them to display them so its kind of like an expensive plastic print and like. ive SEEN lenticular prints at cons before so i feel like there is at least some evidence of plastic prints being something worth making but. stationery fans help me rationalize my need to make this

like ok for those of u that arent sure what this is: its like a flexible but sturdy plastic sheet that you can use under the page you’re writing on to create a nicer writing surface and stabilize the page (esp if ur near the end of the book and dont have a lot of paper to rely on for cushioning) PLUS they can have rulers or grids on them to help line up writing or measure stuff and ahh i love them. i like the little tab that hobonichis have too like a bookmark/page keeper

im still struggling with how to make them (plastic printing is expensive) and im kinda figuring out either some sort of print-at-home brand of plastic or doing a sticker on some plastic sheets that i then cut to size or something but my goal is something solid and waterproof that’ll last and grr i’m gonna figure it out aaaah

... It took me AN ENTIRE DAY to realize that maybe just maybe the status of my order being set to "Abgeschlossen" (translates to concluded or finished or well it can also mean locked if you are talking about a door) could possibly mean the order has been delivered.

Of course now it's 2am and the store I use as a drop off point is closed.

Very strange outfit that is sort of like.. a mix of my current style (pattern mixing, pom poms, fun sandals) combined with how I dressed when I was like 10 years old. The stereotypical skelanimals hoodie vest and the skull t-shirt lol..
