Wizard: Oh, I like your Goblin detecting sword! That's funny.

Goblin who thought they just had a cool glowing sword: ... My what now?

New bracelet and flat art listings on Etsy!

My boyfriend and I need help. Badly.

His shop is here! We have a bunch of stretch bracelets and flat art right now.

We are going through it, guys.

We just had two vet visits, one for Fancy and one for Junie, totaling ~$1k. That's on top of over $5k in existing vet debt from the boys dying last year. Fancy will need another ~$300 visit in a little under two weeks for imaging.

A water issue soaked the carpet in my room, which is now full of mildew, and also reactivated some old mold in the wall, making the room unsafe, unlivable. I have had to move out of it and into the studio, which I now cannot use.

Our sink doesn't work, our oven doesn't work, our dishwasher doesn't work.

We have been trying to take care of everything ourselves for months but we just can't anymore. We can't pull ahead, no matter what we do. We are sinking.

So we have stretch bracelets up for sale. We did some larger sizes, and some that are more masculine in style, so hopefully everyone can find something they like. The listings are bare-bones, so if you have questions, ask.

There is also a lot of flat art, some relatively detailed stuff and some quick marker sketches I used to do while gaming and never intended to sell. Here they are! Sizes vary widely, I've tried to get all the listing details right, but if you have questions about size or whatnot, feel free to ask.

I'm going to be making more posts and maybe a fundraiser for the vet debt, but if you could boost this one to start with, it would help a lot.

And if you feel like pitching in directly, his Paypal is theothershea@gmail.com

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.

my take on the miss piggy/morticia addams sexywoman poll is that while morticia would lose gracefully, miss piggy would 1000% attempt murder over the label and morticia would respect her for it. then theyd go out for tea and gossip together

I hope you get all the rest you need. Even if you spent a quieter day and didn’t feel productive, please allow yourself to rest without guilt or shame for not “earning” it. You don’t have to burn yourself out to prove that you need rest. It’s a very human thing to need sleep, to need a break, to need nourishing, to want to take some personal quiet time. Please allow yourself to rest. Even if it’s “too early” to go to bed, even if you spent all day in bed trying to recover from anything. If your body needs sleep, please allow yourself to have it, there should be no rules as to earning sleep.
