at some point Andrew wanted to upgrade his flip phone, which of course meant he upgraded Neil's too. They got blackberrys (the one with the ball for the trackpad).
They would play the one singular game on the phone trying to one up each other, while waiting at airports and on the plane. Definitely prompted by Neil to distract Andrew, and he knows this but he went along with it anyways.
I’m absolutely in love with this design, it came out so well and i’m so excited that its available on my shop! The design is suppose to be both Dean POV and Sam POV, It has a key ring for any of your monster hunting equipment as well!!
And it’s only ten dollars??
i hear if you look under the cut, you’ll find the link to the etsy page, happy hunting 🖤
HAUNTED HATS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not necessarily back into A Hat In Time, but I WAS feeling nostalgic and wanted to fix up the gang's design. I'd like to think I've improved a lot since I last drew them. :]
This one goes out to all my old AHIT followers, thanks for sticking around. Did you miss these nerds?
A friend passed away today.
A friend from another life.
A friend who hurt me.
A friend from whom I have been estranged.
A friend who make some bad decisions and it cost her so much.
She was the owner of the bookshop I once worked in, she offered me work when I was in the midst of changing my life, gave me a refuge in the form of a bookshop, reinvigorated my creativity and passion for the written word, and I existed there in that bubble for eight years before things began to go wrong. I won't go into it here, it is a long story involving a young woman who I believe is a sociopath, an icing out of everyone close to my friend, her husband's suicide, and the sudden yet inevitable betrayal by the person she put all her trust in.
We have seen each other and chatted a bit over the years, I hold no grudges for what was done to me and who am I to hold grudges for mistakes that only peripherally affect me? But our conversations which always started with a joyfully smile of "it's good to see you" soon would peter out as the chasm of what we could not talk about yawned at our feet. The things that forced my distance are the same things that led to her husband's suicide and her giving up the shop so we couldn't even have a healing talk. A lifetime adventurer and bibliophile, she stopped reading or wanting to discuss books, which was the core of our friendship years before, so we couldn't even avoid the past and fall into old rhythms.
I know her health has not been good. It was hard not to be shocked each time I laid eyes on her after a spate of months or years, she looked like she aged a decade for each year that passed. It was evident from the obituary (it came out hours after she died) that the family knew it was coming, they were prepared, but for those of us who lost her years ago, it was a shock.
My heart shattered today with a grief so ferocious it took me by surprise. And I think it's because, in learning that she is gone I was hit by a wave of grief not just for her and her family, but for the friend I lost years ago, the life that was disrupted by someone's petty ambitions, the beautiful bookshop that crumbled under all the strife, and the events that had such a knockdown effect on my psyche and my life.
I mourn a wife and all the years she did not have with her husband.
I mourn a bookseller who wanted to retire and chose the wrong person to be her successor.
I mourn a bright and adventurous woman who became a wild-eyed parchment-skinned, straw-haired shadow of herself.
I mourn a friend who was swept away years ago and died this morning on her desert island.
mushishi and mononoke are really series about medecine sellers who consider not only the symptoms but the evil of the heart of men creating the supernatural phenomenon as well in administering “treatment” which is never going against nature in doing so, just the concept of a travelling merchant being silent judge and executioneer (applying healing and severing of lies where it needs to be done) on behalf of the ghosts that the people he meets are attempting to bury, culture
Just spent quite a lot of money on a pc to play sam and max and after hours of getting cables, finding out I got the wrong ones and having to get more cables, this shit ain't turning on
Bro how is someone selling the OTHER limited Bloodmilk necklace I was looking for in the same week I got the one the other day. I’m losing my mind rn lol
part of my recent grey market order arrived today! this isn’t my favorite seller, as their stuff is just a smidge more expensive, but they had some stuff i couldn’t pass up the chance to get.
i got joss’ surfboard, some hair clips and a swimsuit for nanea, a shirt for luciana, some rings, some costume swords (they’re a little short tbh - more like daggers), and a lantern which i believe is from a kira set, though i got it to use for my historicals.
speaking of the lantern, it came with a tiny handwritten label that i sadly was unable to translate. if anyone can read this, please let me know what it says! im sure it’s nothing crazy, but im a curious cat lol
