Rosa from Brooklyn 99 holding a puppy with Hildibrand from Final Fantasy 14 pasted over it saying "I've only had Hildibrand for 10 minutes but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone in this room and then myself."
Me at the start of playing FFXIV: "Why would I bother with these side quests?"
Later:
If your empire doesn't drag its ships across the land to siege Constantinople, what is it even doing?

photograph from the 80's of the wrestler Sting wearing a Gold's Gym shirt and sunglasses, leaning against a shelf in a bookstore and positively cheesing at an open copy of The Far Side Gallery 2, a collection of Far Side Cartoons.
what if i told you, through the power of forensic analysis, we are closer than ever to knowing the exact Far Side cartoon that is making Sting smile in this iconic photo. 𧡠π
Ahhh! This is incredible
Me in my Fortunato costume. I'm carrying a large blue fake brick wall prop over my shoulder and holding a green oversized fake bottle prop in the other hand. I'm wearing a big mask of a green zombie face with one eyeball dangling out of its socket, with a conical jester hat on top. I'm wearing a suit that's half orange and half magenta, with little sparkly sun and moon shapes all over it, and a striped green vest. I've got a large fake chain around my waist. In the background of the pic is a gloomy looking brick wall.
Happy Mardi Gras! Look for Fortunato (zombificato!) out in the French Quarter this morning with @cryptiquekrewe.bsky.social ! Fellow monsters, join us at Esplanade and Burgundy at 9am if you wanna shamble with us! All are welcome!

Doing the research for this book was one of the most eye opening experiences in my life in terms of setting my perspective straight on the topic makinaro.com/fw-portfolio...
Radioecology is far more fascinating than anything post-nuclear fiction has ever cooked up. Nature is so fucking rad

A few beautiful treasures that came in the post, laid out on a black table: A calendar, divination card, business card, and postcard. All artwork by Pam Wishbow.
The divination card that was added as a little extra to the package. It's numbered "9" at the bottom. On the shield is a key, a ribbon, some leaves, and a skull. Artwork by Pam Wishbow.
The calendar is flipped to show the current month, February. Illustration of a skull as the focus with various accompanying illustrations: dagger, candle, pot/cauldron with steam, chain, hand, snake, fly, and moon (I believe?).
I treated myself to some treasure for my birthday this year. It was just delivered and...it's GORGEOUS. @pamwishbow.bsky.social is so incredibly talented! The calendar is everything. I also love the little extras included like the divination card! Is there a full deck?! π
