A thought that is bouncing around the old noggin and preventing me from getting any sleep, and really I should be asleep:

If the Effulgent Biangle vanishes things mysteriously and abruptly from the world and transports them to Zood, could there be such a thing as the rolling hills of Lost Socks? The forest of Pens-That-Were-On-My-Desk-A-Second-Ago-What-The-Hell?

Something about the thoughts being shaped by the body they are in, the Legio Rex not being able to stop eating people because they were in the bodies of apex predators. I am sure Pratchett wrote something about this.

Although, with the carnivorous giraffe, the snake shaping itself to have legs, and the panthers hanging from trees like monkeys, it seems that sometimes the mind can shape the body as well.

Hmmm, I must ponder the matter.

I have never been so lucky as to play D&D, but I fear I would absolutely be the Maxwell of the group if I did. So many times I am watching an Actual Play and wondering "wait, why are they lying?! Wouldn't it be better for everyone if this NPC knew that the room is going to explode/flood/fill with bees?".

Probably isn't as much fun as trying to convince them with a crazy lie. I understand.

Maxwell telling the truth is absolutely killing me. Everyone around him is trying their best to bullshit and he just keeps straight up being honest. It’s infuriating. It’s hilarious. Murph’s comedic choices this season have been exceptionally sharp.

May I present Dr. Ichabod Sullivan Greeves, definitely an honest man, I mean, baboon.

I'm seeing generationally removed siblings, personally. Van's just giving her little brother endless shit, that's all!

also yeah i freaking Love how max was initially grateful (if still a bit grumpy) that van pulled him back from the plank

but then the moment she said "say uncle" you could just see that fighter's instinct/hint of bloodlust come rushing back because yeah she might've just saved his life and yeah she's probably like two weight classes above him, but fuck if he's ever going to tap out

like Ough that collaborative storytelling and the little moments of showing some peak characterizations even when the context is incredibly silly

would you be ok if I made a cross stitch from your live laugh love reload design?

Absolutely!

[tangledinredstring]

If I knew dick about cross-stitch maybe this would be a good pattern

You know, I really can't blame Siobhan. If I was at the table they would have had to physically take that paper off of me so I would pay attention to the actual game.

It doesn't 100% match my vision! But overworking my pictures is the number one cause of ruining my pictures, so I will leave that there.

I thought I recognized a Medium Allison from one of the Fun Home clips I'd watched on YouTube, and also Jon Matteson from Starkid. And I was right!

really incredible things happening on the set of game changer

I just have to get real with you...

[tangledinredstring]

Looking through my sketchbook, and I was disappointed that I never finished this sketch off. So I did!

I understand this didn't actually happen like this, but it did amuse me.

Fig: How do you LIVE like this?!

Riz, looking at monsters fall dead due to Fig's aura: I could literally never do this...

Faust, but Faust is a teenage boy and the Devil is the worst wizard in the world.

Describing Terry Pratchett’s books is difficult. Someone asked me what the book I was reading was about, and I had to tell them it was about banking and the gold standard, but like in a cool way with golems and action. 

 I don’t think they believed me.

I'm doing a rewatch of Burrows End. Aabria called for everyone to make constitution checks against the Blue dust storm. Tula, and Tula alone, made the check with advantage. And now that I KNOW...

I did not catch that the first time, at all.

I've done all of the main D20 campaigns now, and I've sped-watched a couple of the Side Quests. All I want to say is:

Coffin Run is the Zac Oyama comedy showcase. Everyone on that was phenomenal, but Zac made me hurt myself laughing.

ALL HAIL THE FAIL LORD LIELAND!!!

I might take a break from my D20 binge here, I don't know that any of the other side quests are going to grab me, but that was a lot of fun.
