Cranked This Out For @pokeblog123 And @nightmun Just In Time For Christmas! Including Of Course Mal Pratchett

Merry Christmas everyone! Happy Holidays! Blessed Yule! Let's hope this coming year brings with it new opportunities for joy and fun and, possibly, art!

Well we’re about halfway through September so it wouldn’t hurt to post this now, right? Here’s the list for this years cryptid/monster design list for October, Caught-on-Tober! This time with a theme: The Mall.

I’m going to be using the tags #caught-on-tober and #caught-on-tober 2022, if anyone else want to participate!

Can’t wait until it gets it finally gets into the Halloween time of year 🦇 🎃 ✨

Visiting a rock shop is a bad idea but look at all these pretties I found!

Labradorite (my favorite), moss agate, banded iron formation, magnetic "hematite," and a really really pretty opalized ammonite.

Hey, is Samantha seeing the certified freak in the painting too, or are our boys just cursed?

"... "Certified Freak"...?"

Samantha raises her gaze, only for her eyes to grow wide and her face to grow pale upon catching sight of something. The boys, confused beyond all merits, turn to look directly behind them...

... and... catch sight of the "freak" you spoke of... It lingers, just long enough for them to see it, to watch the black sludge trickle down its fingers, and then it is gone, vanished back within the painting.

The boys both stare up at where the arm had been, both much too scared and put off to say anything for a good while.

It isn't until Samantha speaks up again that they are broken free from their petrification.

... She, however, proves much less than unhelpful for the current situation, acting as though nothing was there. Nothing had ever been there. Nothing is.

"... But you... you looked terrified..." Joshua managed to say despite how his own body shook. "D... That just happened, we saw you, how can you..." He continued, baffled at the current dismissal.

Above the boys where the hand had been rests nothing more than the painting that had been there prior, as if nothing at all had occurred.

🎃🎃🎃 Happy Halloweeeenn!! 🎃🎃🎃 May your nights be filled with the treats and tricks of the season!

Ummm byee

Dear people living on your own for the first time:

Here’s some advice I wasn’t told from the myriad of posts before that I wish I’d been given before

Wash the OUTSIDE of your pots and pans as well as the cooking surface. I’ve had a few roommates now who have only cleaned the inside and I’ve had to replace a $150 set of cookware twice.

“its only one time, how bad could using metal on nonstick cookware really be?” very bad. don’t do this.

Buy a rice cooker. Buy the middle tier rice cooker. Cheap ones will burn your rice, high tier ones are too expensive. Rice is good and cheap and, really, you don’t actually have to wash it if you don’t care about making gourmet food.

Buy band-aids. You don’t think you need band-ads until you need a band-aid, and by then it’s too late. (if you don’t follow this advice, a paper towel and some tape is an acceptable solution while you go get real bandages and neosporin)

You are on tumblr, which means you probably spend most of your time in one spot on a computer or phone. if this spot doesn’t have a trash can in arm’s reach, put one there.

 I spent 4 years piling trash on my desk in increasingly precarious ways until I had a designated area to put it. Trash cans can and should go anywhere there is a frequent generation of trash, typical locations be damned.

If you live with one or two roommates, discuss placing empty boxes in the back of your fridge and freezer. You probably don’t need all the space that the standard 5-person-family fridge provides, and tupperware will be shoved back there and left to stink up the entire appliance.

Get a wall calendar, put it somewhere communal, and have everyone put their household-relevant schedules on it. Communication is by far the weakest link with roommates (even good ones!) and having something to reference for appointments is always good
