May 2024: Kebab Weekend
It might not look like it but this thin line of trees between a highway and a field filled with utility lines is a much needed habitat especially for birds:
"As swift as the swallow that flies through that air." - The Creggan White Hare by Daoiri Farrell:
Squirrels are sloppy eaters. Squirrel planted sunflower:
Saturday dinner - salad, grilled vegetables with steak, chorizo & shrimp:
The art of imbuing food with smoke flavor on a gas grill. This is a roughly 50/50 mixture of pecan & apple wood. The pecan is strong like hickory, oak & mesquite while the apple is sweet & light. The blend renders a smoke flavor that is balanced like a beautiful katana crafted by a master. The blackened pieces are wood chunks that have seen one or more grillings. The water, with its minute particles of ash, is retained & poured into our compost bins. Nothing is wasted... only transformed:
Maybe we'll get grapes this year:
More squirrel planted sunflowers. Given the effort that my queen & I have put into trying to grow sunflowers in previous years, it is a little annoying that the squirrels managed it by just being sloppy eaters:
My 3 minute egg timer that I've started using to time when I'm grilling. My queen likes her steak well done. On our gas grill, 16 to 18 minutes produces a well done steak that is still juicy. She says I could teach the cooks at the local steakhouses a thing or two about cooking a well done steak properly:
Sunday dinner. My queen requested more grilled delights. This time the protein was chicken:

did you know you can get branches for free in the woods
#unless you're my neighbour who is also the hunter who also owns that chunk of wood#in that case i bought those at the store you did not watch me carry them into my house from the woods

Inktober 2024 day 10
Been listening to the jello dubs and tbh they're right.
One thing about the postal service, is it's taught me that a lot of adhd and autistic adults have found their home in running the same routes every day and I think that'd suit mae
#Nitw#night in the woods#Nitw mae#mae borowski#Inktober#Inktober 2024#Doodles#Lined#Ngl nothing is better than meeting ur need to run an someone that's autistic with adhd#It feels so painfully good#That motion paired with the same actions. Immaculate#Does it mean I'm happy with my job? Nah#But it does feel reeaaaally good though#If anything if then kept the start times the same yah#I'd be staying#It just feels so good#Routes I know#Organising post and parcels. Loading the van#Delivering an entire van load of stuff to the point of empty#It feels good and it's what I think mae would enjoy#The movement is a bit part of it simply because I jump fences I think though#I ain't walking round ur fence#That aside a painful amount of my coworkers are either adhd or autistic. I have no right or tell them but christ#Some folk have been doing the same run for 15+ years and they love it#They know every pref of the person they're delivering to and every shortcut to work with the numbers#If that isn't autism idk what is#Like I can ask#Hey what duty is 5 whatever main street on and people know#Tldr main streets r normally split up and hard to remember where one starts and ends and yikes I know a chunk but not like that

Sun Wukong's assorted lingpai (mandate tokens)
[ID: 1) An illustration of the two sides of a mostly rectangular lingpai made of wood. One side reads "令" and the other reads "弼马温", both written in seal script. The bottom of the lingpai is adorned by horses facing outwards, clouds by their feet.
2) An illustration of the two sides of a stone lingpai shaped mostly like a rectangle, but flared at the top and bottom. One side reads "令" and the other reads "美猴王", both written in seal script. The top of the lingpai is adorned with a dragon-pearl surrounded by flames and clouds. The bottom is adorned with mountains, the sea, and coral. The borders of both the top and bottom are decorated with clouds and flowers. The top is swirled in a way that resembles a lingzhi or a ruyi.
3) An illustration of the two sides of a red jade lingpai, shaped mostly like a rectangle but with a curved top. One side reads "令" and the other reads "齐天大圣", both written in seal script. The top of the lingpai is adorned by a ruyi with a flower and mountain at its center. Below the ruyi is a lotus flower, which sits on top of the forehead of a Yazi carving. Clouds extend out from either side of Yazi and below him are flowers. The two sides of the lingpai have the carvings of cloud pillars wrapped in a stylized waterfall. At the bottom are clouds which could also be the foam from the waterfall. Lotuses float atop this foam/these clouds. At the center of the bottom is a mountain with a ruyi at its foot. This ruyi also has a flower within it.
4) The lineart for the three lingpai, with accompanying commentary. The one labeled "BiMaWen" reads "carved and burned wood," "simple, only horses and clouds," and "ornamental, basically no power." The one labeled "Beautiful Monkey King" reads "carved from a chunk of Sun Wukong's stone egg," "customized from Ao family royal lingpai template," and "mostly sea, cloud, and dragon pearl imagery." The one labeled "Great Sage Equaling Heaven" reads "carved from red jade," "fully custom, in style of an emperor's lingpai but HuaGuo," and "flowers, waterfalls, mountains, ruyi, Yazi, and clouds imagery." At the side are simple doodles of the three lingpai. The first is light brown with a yellow cord, captioned "simple cord, no tassel." The second is grey with a red cord and tassel, captioned "silk cord and tassel." The third is red with a red cord and tassel, captioned "braided cord," "jade and gold accented." End ID]
#my art#journey to the west#jttw#xiyouji#visual development#prop design#in case youre wondering about the note on the Beautiful Monkey King lingpai-#yes he did harass Ao Guang for that#as soon as he came back from being BiMaWen he wanted a proper lingpai of his own#so he marched down to Ao Guang's palace with a stone in hand and demanded he get it properly carved#the Great Sage lingpai was carved by the artists of the Heavenly Palace and presented to him when his title was recognized#you may have seen a rough draft of that lingpai on swk's belt in the Seven Sages lineup 👉👈#much simpler though of course gdhfsjkkdskl#at the time i was thinking of it as being carved from red wood#but nah now it's a solid chunk of jade you could knock someone out with it#also- 如意 means 'by one wants'- same as the ruyi in ruyijinkubang 'as-you-wish golden staff'#but ruyi here refers to the clustered swirls (google image it) bc its a common auspicious piece of imagery#Yazi is one of the famed Sons of the Dragon God#he's a violent and skilled fighter so he's usually used to adorn weaponry and armor#but i think swk would get a kick out of his lingpai having Yazi on it too

A tornado touched down a couple counties away and my area was in a watch hours ago but it's been done for a while now so I had my bedroom window open for the breeze
and my house was just hit with a massive and terrifying surge of wind that made me genuinely think we were about to be picked up by a tornado and that was strong enough to literally rip my door off of its hinges in the seconds it lasted 🙃
#several branches broke off the maple tree including a huge live one#we lost a ceramic garden gnome#we literally just fixed my door after the knob broke#and when i say ripped it off its hinges#i mean that the hinges are bent with the screws still in them and covered in chunks of wood#i am going to need a whole new door

Just some Thirsty Thursday Answers here! Semi-NSFW
Bill chalks another one up on the board of 'Things Dipper Likes That He Didn't Know He Liked', which is almost one-to-one with 'Things Bill had his fingers crossed hoping Dipper was into' It was a long journey to get Dipper more comfortable in his own skin, and longer to add 'in bed' to that, but now? Bill is having a great time.
This is certainly an eye-spy scenario! Dipper wasn't doing any of this out in the open; knowing Bill and his.... well, everything, Dipper would be extra vigilant to make sure he wasn't around!
That doesn't mean he managed to find every eye, though. And more often than not, he sort of forgets that, oh yeah, there's one literally on him. Bill's careful not to point that one out too much, or his human husband's going to start wearing a single glove or something. That'd ruin a lot of his fun.
Any roleplay with set pieces, like 'demonic sacrifice on a fancy altar' or 'tense and weirdly erotic game of cat and mouse until one of them falls into a trap'! Bill's a big fan of setting the atmosphere. But while he can do a lot of setup in the Fearamid, sometimes you just gotta block off a pretty large section to really get the full 'looming temple in the darkness of night in the mysterious desert-or-jungle' experience! It's just not the same if you can't see the stars in alignment high above, while a big magical circle thrums around your grand and terrifying temple. 😔
(The set piece is arguably easier to manage than wrangling Dipper into some of the proposed outfits. Some of the jewelry is just cold and digs into tender places, Bill, c'mon.)
#answers#Anyway here's some bullshit#That reminds me that I really gotta finish this lamb wolf thing#Theoretically it starts with Dipper being chased through the 'woods'#But really it's just a chunk of Fearamid where he conveniently arrives at the bedroom once he's 'caught'#Doin' it in the actual forest tends to get pine needles in Places. Even Bill has to admit it kills the mood when that happens.#I should write dangit

Highlights from Parker: A Portfolio of Words & Pictures Vols. 1 & 2 by Darwyn Cooke, featuring some concept art as well as a pivotal scene from Butcher's Moon (1974) -- the final book in the original series.
Regarding Jack Palance as Parker, Donald Westlake (or Richard Stark, if you prefer) was once quoted as saying:
#parker: a portfolio of words and pictures#richard stark's parker#parker#darwyn cooke#richard stark#donald westlake#jack palance#comicedit#comicsedit#u can reblog#the first one always makes me laugh... made out of chunks of wood#OH THE PALANCE PARKER THOUGH.

Matthias being startled and concerned at how the other survivors don't find Louis terrifying and just unceremoniously kick it like a football when they want it to fuck off
Hell even VICTOR did it!! Actually as far as Matthias can tell, Victor was the first... But why? Why does the quiet mailman decide he wants to chuck Louis around like he's a non-threat? And why does everyone copy him??
godd yeah i think he's just. so used to louis being a little bitch that he kind of forgets other people havent been tormented by this hellspawn for their whole life ifjdnfnfk
#something something his mass amounts of neglect and night terrors also making louis seem scarier than he is#or maube he just Is scarier when it's just him and matthias#maybe the memories of being inferior to a chunk of wood warp his perception idk......#the talk box

i think more loz dungeons should’ve done what the ice ruins did and just give you the boss key right out the gate as proof of how fucked you are
#ive been blowing right through these dungeons tbh. but the ice ruins. man the ice ruins#salty talks#i love how each dungeon has smth of a mini gimmick or otherwise a little smth to shake things up#the dark palace’s uh. darkness. turtle rock being compact but equally as dense (with the two outdoors bits)#skulls woods in general having you find different ways in from outside and the thieves den’s whole second half#and the desert palace being half in hyrule and half in lorule and ye old water level control in the swamp palace#good shit. the ice ruins still put a bit of a sense of dread in me when i get that big key before anything else#oh man going through it too it might also be the only one that doesnt show you the full room layout#ofc bc theres a good chunk thats outdoor platforming so it doesnt count as room layout

I'm going to be really sad about losing a bunch of my art supplies/pieces so if that's not your thing, feel free to scroll by.
Nothing like going out to the garage to get some wood for your upcoming projects only to find there had been a leak, water pooled on the floor beneath the boxes in your work area, and had ruined a bunch of the wood you'd been painstakingly collecting for carving for years.
The irony: most of the wood that was ok? Common basswood that's easily replaced. It was mostly my rarer woods that were ruined.
Cherry, maple, walnut, cedar, buckeye. Woods with beautiful grains. Precious butternut that's going extinct. Gifts from my wood carving teacher and mystery wood castoffs from other woodworkers who didn't need them. Odd shapes and pieces I had plans for. Gone. Everything in this pic, from what's inside the box to what's in the can (some of which can't be seen) had to be tossed due to mold from the water damage. You can't put a price on this wood emotionally. I literally just want to cry. Fucking years, some of them already partly carved and I just hadn't had time to finish them since moving here.
The only silver lining I can think of is that I have another box of wood in the house, with some rarer woods in it. But this still really, really hurts.
#i saved what i could including wood where there was only a tiny bit of mold and damage#that i could cut off with my knife or clean#but all the pieces here were too damaged and they had to be tossed#i've collected this wood for years and you can't just buy more#some were gifts and some were chunks of wood i've been drying for s few years so i could carve it#some were half finished pieces i just hadn't gotten back around to yet#some i'd saved because they were pretty and i didn't know what i wanted it for yet but i'd figure it out#i'm trying to hold onto the wood i did manage to save but i'm bitter it's mostly basswood which is easy to find#7 pieces of rarer wood saved. just 7#out of roughly 60 pieces large and small in that box#i am fucking heartbroken

Slowly chipping away at Bloodborne. Spent the other day lost in the Forbidden Woods and got frustrated. Took a break and found the boss today. You know that picture about mining for diamonds or something and one gives up just as they're reaching the motherload? Yeah that was me. I was one muddy path away from the boss.
That frustration was only compounded when I found the beggar, clearly eating a body and I said to myself, it would be really funny if I sent him to the Chapel and he killed everyone. So I did that. And he killed the old lady. And im like "to be expected". What was NOT expected was the heartwrenching performance of the Chapel Dweller, crying over the old lady dying. I regreted my decision inmediately. So, today I rectified my mistake by killing the beggar.
I let the Amygdala take me and got to a new area but was advised not to fully explore it just yet, so I turned back.
All thats left to do now is beat the snake people and hopefully I'll be free of these woods.
#my experience with bloodborne#these woods have drained me#theyre so exhausting#i was not having fun for a good chunk of it
