Stormcast Eternals Prosecutor 1 of 3! This was one of my favorite models I think I’ve ever painted, I’m so happy with how she came out. She took ages because I kept needing to touch up little mistakes, but she’s such a beautiful sculpt I never got tired of that. If I swapped a few steps I could probably avoid most of those mistakes and save a lot of time.

well yeah i have a pet hydra and it only has one head. i'm not going to cut its head off just to make it look cooler, you asshole. that's seriously unethical. and i'm not letting you cut its head off either. if you really want a hydra with multiple heads, you should go for a rescue- but if you want your pet to look cooler at the cost of its physical health, maybe you shouldn't get any kind of pet at all. no, the hydra's not for guarding my evil tower, it's my pet. have you ever heard of a pet? like a puppy or a kitty? you think i can't defend my evil tower by my self?

At the May meeting for my quilter’s guild, one of the members showed off her version of the Shakespeare in the Park Quilt pattern… to say I was mesmerized would be an understatement. I bought the book with the pattern the next day. The book has specs for a 76”x96” quilt that felt a little too big to take on, and a 60”x60” that felt a little too small (the intended recipient is over six feet tall). So I sat down with some graph paper and did the math to figure out how many blocks I’d need for a 60”x76” throw version. With a very convoluted cutting diagram, I was able to do this with 12 green and 10 white-on-white fat quarters.

This is one of my favorite quilts I have made so far. I intend to free motion quilt at least some of the blocks but that won’t be for a little bit so I will update again when that is done.

Made June-July 2025

“hes a woman to me” IS HE? or are you equating women with submissive character traits you've arbitrarily put on a random man

Some facts about stöplings (and töplings):

Technically they are lesser daemons of Tzeentch (since Lara is a Daemon Prince of Tzeentch and the stöplings are his lesser daemons).

Although I sometimes put the "crow" tag on posts with them, actually stöplings are based not on crows but on jackdaws, because the crows are grey where I live, and also because in Russian the word for the check mark — “галочка” (“galochka”) — is also a diminutive form for “галка” (“galka”) which means “jackdaw”.

Their names are related to the previous fact: stöplings (töplings) are mostly a nickname, their real name is "ink birds" (or "galochki" in Russian). I almost never use their official name though. Also "stöpling" is a general name for stöplings and töplings both.

The word "stöpling" is pronounced with a sh (shtyopling), as in German.

The word "töpling" comes not only from the word “stöpling”, but also from "тёп-тёп", a distortion of "топ-топ" (stomp-stomp). Тёп-тёп (töp-töp) is an onomatopoeia of the way stöplings walk.

Usually stöplings do not have names (Poke is an exception), only numbers. There are about 200-500 (or more) of known stöplings. Their names-numbers are NOT in order, for example, there are stöplings with numbers 1111, -2 and √2.

Stöplings are quite small, no larger than a jackdaw.

Stöplings are made of feathers and ink. Most of them are blue or black, but they can have any color the ink can have. For example, töppling №1111 is emerald green with glitter. There are even rumors about a white stöppling that has no number, but they are not confirmed.

EVERY stöpling has a wizard's hat. These hats are usually blue or purple (Poke's hat is red and is an exception) and are decorated with patterns of stars and moons. There can be a hat without a stöpling, but there can never be a stöpling without a hat. In case of danger they hide in their hats. Their hats are VERY capacious.

Stöplings can wear other clothes and accessories (cloaks, scarves, jewelry), but these are additional details that may or may not be present. The only thing that is absolutely mandatory for a stöpling is its hat.

Stöplings love buckwheat, gummy worms (they call them "червеладки" — "gwörms") and shiny things.

Stöplings don't like water, they get soaked in it and lose their shape.

Even adult stöplings alone do not pose any serious threat to either daemons or mortals (they are even weaker than nurglings).

Stöplings are able to merge together, forming larger and stronger daemons; when defeated, the ink cluster disintegrates into individual birds that quickly scatter.

If defeated and banished to the Realm of Chaos, stöplings despawn with the sound of "ПЫХ!" ("POOF!"), leaving behind an ink blot.

While stöplings can be troublesome by stealing small items (usually shiny ones), their primary purpose is to damage any storage medium, from books to audio recordings. They are a kind of Tzeentch's analogue of Nurgle's glitchlings, but much less smelly and have a narrower specialization.

Stöplings are mix up and steal words, leave notes in the margins that they write with their beaks (they are not very literate, but they can imitate any handwriting and add any phrases that they managed to steal earlier) and traces, which look like check marks, for which these daemons got their name.

Their influence on other types of storage media is less noticeable and usually takes the form of static, distortion or extraneous noise.

Stöplings have limited speech, they can only speak short phrases with a strong bird accent. Stöplings that often damage audio files acquire the ability to repeat the sounds and phrases they steal.

The words stolen by stöplings look like small trinkets.

Stöplings can be summoned using bird feathers, ink, and a page torn from any book.

10 more Normans done!

sword and shield, except of course for the two guys in the back that I built for use in a Frostgrave warband because unarmored hand weapon is a vital soldier loadout in that game. Mostly they're going to be doing duty in Lion/Dragon Rampant. On to the next 10 and that'll be the whole Victrix Norman Infantry Skirmish Pack done! I'm excited to paint something else lol.

Superman isn't woke. You're just so evil that you see a man doing acts of kindness and you think it's a targeted political agenda

It's almost like something happened in 2020-now that is causing these problems.

my recent strategy for dealing with intrusive thoughts is imagining bulk boagn (pictured below)

Fucked up creature in the dark? nope that’s bulk bogan. An unlikely/ impossible disaster happening? bulk bogan will stop it. Other thoughts i don’t want? think about bulk bogan instead. It is surprisingly effective in a way that I didn’t expect

Yesterday, I tried out using a bigger canvas for my pixel art. I like how it turned out.
