Someone get @entities-of-posts thoughts on this immediately

Yesterday there was a massive spider in my tub, so I got a napkin to kill it (time-sensitive spider). I crushed it, then lifted the napkin to see a completely unharmed spider. so I did it again, and once again, the spider was perfectly unharmed. I started to panic, this had never happened to me before. So I started pummeling him. I just kept pummeling and pummeling, bashing and bashing. I was actually punching him, no other word for it. I reared my fist to see a half-living spider. Still this fucker was alive. One more set of pummels, pummels fit for a man, and then, finally, he was gone. But god, what a life he lived.

Hey kid, look at me.

I want you to T-pose. Turn your right thumb up and your left thumb doen and look at your right thumb. Move your arms up and down a bit until you feel a nerve running from your armpit to your palm. Now turn your right thumb down and your left thumb up, and look at your left thumb. Keep your chest facing forward and your shoulders back. Move your arms again until you feel that nerve again. Keep alternating between these two for a minute, or look at each thumb thirty times each.

Now sit down. Put your left hand firmly under your left buttock, palm down. Keep your shoulders back and put your right hand over the crown of your head, very gently pulling it to the right. Do this for thirty seconds, then do it again but with your right hand under your right buttock.

These are stretches for the nerves in your arms, and are very good for people who sit behind a computer a lot, or fibre artists, or you name it. Do them daily. They will hurt in the beginning, but keep doing them, even after the pain has gone, or it will return and you'll have to start all over.

To sleep or to draw hmmmmmmm

just in time for #wizardwednesday yeah I'm sure that's probably a real thing

Something I've noticed since joining tumblr is the sheer number of comments/asks trying to scam you. Pls be careful out there.

Hey guys let me tell you about advance fee scams

I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.

About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.

My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)

And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.

This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.

I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.

And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.

Hiii! I decided to upload some artworks from the last year or 2, cuz I draw reallllyyyyy slloooowww… and also, why not? I’m gonna post a few bundles of artworks each featuring the same character. If you notice any variation in art style/quality that would be because they might’ve been drawn months apart lolll

Anyways here’s a bunch of art of one of my d&d characters. Her name is Joy and she’s a tiefling paladin. Oath of the Eldritch Hunt (from Steinharts Guide to the Eldritch Hunt). She’s 6’5”, heavily clown themed, and she has some spooky curse shit going on. She is part of a nomadic circus-ish group of quirky warriors/adventurers known as the Joyous Congregation who wander and help those who cannot help themselves. She occasionally splits off on her own personal work, which is how she ends up with the party she’s been traveling with as of late (our adventuring party). She recently has been battling with her curse stuff though, as she fears she is losing her humanity, and has left her adventuring group for the sake of their own safety. I often dream of writing/drawing stuff that dives into her lore/backstory but I never get around to it. She does have a twin brother and a younger sister who I will probably post art of later.

The lil guy she’s holding in that one pic is named Guy. He’s a character played by a friend of mine, and tbh, for the life of me I cannot remember what his homebrew race is but I know that he is roughly halfling sized?

Some mildly spicy artworks under the cut if ur into that sort of thing.

The other characters in those pics? Ehhhh I’ll talk about em later. These interactions also weren’t necessarily canon… just for funsies. At this time she’s the only character I’ve made kinda spicy art for. But who knows, maybe that’ll change.

OK THANKS FOR STOPPING BY AND I HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY RAMBLE
