Sure as shit I have not finished the fucking saddle seat after 3 weeks?? A month?? Fuck if I know

Over 115 hours of work, and my ass is still not done. My thumbs have bled as the leather gods take their sacrificial piece of flesh in return for success in my labors.

I have had to take research detours into antique saddle construction techniques, leather quilting, standard motifs in 1700-1899 artworks and their meaning, and pre-American Civil War flower languages.

I have had to free-hand patterns and hand stitch every stitch, even teach myself the couching (embroidery) stitch..... istfg.....

If anyone figures out which saddle I'm talking about or where it is, no the hell you didn't, shut up, do not acknowledge my existence as a 3-dimensional being. Thnx

That moment when you just put an artifact on display, happy with how it turned out, even though you had to create a piece from scratch bc that missing part is an important one for stability, and then less than 24 hours later YOU FIND THE FUCKING MISSING PIECE!

Like 'goddammit, now I'm gonna need to pull the artifact back off display bc the piece i made is not canonically accurate now, and that pisses me off even though no one else would know." and "ffs, the original piece is too fragile to ever put on the artifact, so not only am I pulling the artifact off display to swap parts, but I'm going to have to create a-whole-nother fucking piece so its biblically accurate!" For I am Sisyphus, and this is my boulder.

Every day, I beg at the altar of an uncaring and capricious god, and every day, I am disappointed.

I love that I share my house with one of the most efficient apex predators millions of years of evolution could produce. I love that two of nature’s most prolific machines met and were like “hmmm. We should lay around and do nothing together”. Now we’re both fat and happy and full of meat. The hedonism of it all

Batman: you all owe me money

JL sets up a betting pool to see who can get Superman to say "fuck" first. Everybody gets so intense about this, but no matter what they do, they cannot get him to say anything worse than hell. Bruce is so tired of this, so at a meeting one day he just takes off his cowl and reveals his identity with zero build up or warning and Superman just lets out the loudest "What the fuck?"

barry who did magic tricks as a kid (he's an adhd coded theatre kid of course he fucking did) but now he has super speed and his silly sleight of hand tricks are actually undetectable now

he's getting a drink at saints and sinners before he heads over to bother len (and mick, he guesses) about joining him on a mission to deal with the meta of the week and sees some asshole pickpocket from the nice dude next to him who he's been talking to about battlestar galactica. so he bumps into him, haha clumsy barry, and pickpockets him back then puts the wallet back into battlestar galactica guy's pocket without anyone noticing.

except len, who saw all of that shit and has forgotten what he was talking about mid-sentence

i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because: 

i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live 

most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person

The tribes of Tumblr appeared to worship Apollo as their primary patron deity, most often under the epithet Apollo Spairahemon ("Apollo the Ball-Thrower") as a god of prophecy and sport. His name was typically invoked to celebrate a user blessed with uncommon prescience. Moments of prophecy were considered highly sacred and were often recorded, and such texts are sometimes accompanied by an artistic depiction of the god — either his traditional masculine image or, unusually, in the form of a young woman, which appears to have been an earlier style before a conservative shift toward more conventional iconography — preparing to cast a round rubber ball that our scholars believe was used in the sport known as "dodge ball". Much as other cults regarded his arrows as bringers of disease and health, this community believed that being struck by this ball would bestow prophetic visions.

Some icons are reproduced below:

An earlier depiction (c. 2020) of Apollo as a girl clad in a simple tunic and playing with other children. Figures are smiling and the image is brightly colored, indicating a celebratory outlook toward knowledge of the future.

A later piece (c. 2022) that resembles the traditional appearance of Apollo. References to childhood and play are omitted, and the god carries a more frightening aspect; perhaps this icon represented grim omens rather than good tidings.

Story prompt, comedy:

A demon becomes an archeologist whose only job is to find ancient holy sites.

They're the best at it. The world renowned expert, in fact. They just wander around doing obviously fake things like tapping to sticks together and listening and eventually hit an invisible wall and BOOM holy site.

They later accidently wind up with a doctorate and have to bullshit their way through academia and conferences while sweating bullets because they can't actually go into the holy sites or touch the holy artifacts. It's a bit of a problem....
