Einherjar Silver again, I had enough hand strength to use filters to finish a messy piece I've had rotting in my folder for like a month.

Black Butler Watch Party

I'm going to do a Black Butler Watch Party today. My friend is out getting snacks. I can see the new episode has popped, but I can't watch it yet. So tempting seeing Sascha's face in the thumbnail! Looking forward to seeing more of the German Reapers and hopefully we'll see the English Reapers this week! <3

You know it's a speedy squirrel when it comes with racing stripes! Jokes aside, this has always been a very attractive-looking squirrel to me. It has a lot of the range of natural fur colors all covered in one animal. Credit to mammalianmammals for sharing it.

There are some unusual rabbits out there. We accept that 'bird' covers a wide range, but not always the word 'rabbit'. Thanks to mammaliamammals today.

Be honest. How many of you have dreamed of being a librarian or having a large home library? I'm guilty. Thanks to herpsandbids for the happiness of the thought.

Remember to replace the mayonnaise with vanilla pudding in advance so you can enjoy the reaction of the crowd and take notes to use in your next presentation.

Thank you tirnelsutcliff for sharing this, it was quite amusing.

Knowing a fic author through AO3 is like attending someone’s thesis presentation and politely clapping at the end, knowing a fic author through this hellsite is like going over to their house at 3AM to watch them eat mayonnaise out of a jar
