in my anxiety/lack-o-sleep haze I notice the electric kettle has a line for maximum fill, and a line for "Tea Max."

Teamaxing. Darjeelingbrained. Completely oolong-pilled. This is where my ex-boyfriend would chime in and says it sounds right lovely.

@Tuftears I assume it works as a Buddhist deal, where sometimes violence works out to be the most compassionate action you can take. (Although historically most times monks have taken up weapons for spectacularly earthy reasons.)

Oh yeah also here are tonight’s #drawings

oh wow

okay, so my fighter/barbarian tripped balls on whatever this magical fog is. The DM described seeing the forms of orcs hunting in the fire. I made a joke about seeing the ancestors and taking a level in Cleric.

FIVE MINUTES LATER I realized that she'd just had the setup to becoming a totem warrior as her barbarian path. She is now sure she saw, and spoke with, the spirit of the great Shivan Wurm.

ME: if my D&D character dies, I can play a minotaur monk whose fangs and horns are filed blunt to show his embrace of non-violence

ALSO ME: he was a wandering monster until the day he ambushed a group of monks meditating on the sound of one hand clapping and his bellowed “MU” impressed the master.

#drawings today

uhhh not to be rude but Betty Boop horror is BETTY BOOP.

Like the most famous Betty Boop cartoons are; Betty runs away from home/visits her evil stepmama/goes to chew out the mean Old Man of the Mountain, and then for no particularly good reason, Cab Calloway shows up as a monster and sings at her.

Do NOT promise me SCARY BETTY BOOP unless you're gonna have a Danny Elfman soundtrack. He's like the only dude who could successfully write a Cab Calloway musical number in 2025.

oh yeah everyone's always talking about Boba Fett this or Andor that but noooo, nobody ever thinks twice about Ki Adi-Mundi do they? He had a CONE HEAD, that's cool!

... edit. While making this shitpost, I discovered that apparently fans have a relatively justifiable hate for Ki.

wow I'm old

it's weird, you'd figure that animation is a great fit for Tolkien and with Peter Jackson and Phillipa Boyens managing production it would be a runaway success, but "Merry and Pippin Go to the White Castle" somehow tanked in theaters

tonkatsu shows, a subgenre of sentai in which different varieties of fried cutlets use their special fried cutlet powers

One more #colored #drawing for today.

@ziphi well NOW, you've got me turning up, and turning down, I'm turning in, and turning round.

a astartes special character who started as a loyalist separated from his chapter during the Horus Heresy and became a biker hero before serving the Inquisition and who consequently has been in the Death Guard, Deathwing, and Death Watch

I couldn't get to sleep so I figured I'd have some nice, relaxing coffee and work on #coloring an old #drawing instead of job hunting for a bit.

Before something set off all sorts of hypervigilence and negativity, I #colored a #drawing and was going to post it, so I think maybe I should go ahead and do that.

GALADRIEL'S GIFT OF HAIR TO GIMLI/TOLKIEN EXPLAINED so elves are basically cats; lithe, graceful hunters with fine vision in the dark, so originally Cate Blanchett was going to meow "have some hair. haaaair" and huck up, but Jackson was worried this was too much like his old Meet the Feebles image

yes, Viggo Mortensen was eventually chosen over Peter Jackson's first choice for Aragorn, Christopher Walken, who would have made Lord of the Rings a very different series

Anyway, while my country continued to fall apart at the seams, I #colored a #drawing for the first time in forever.
