@001zlnv *nodnods* Like the stars on baby bunny foreheads. It's flash from where they popped off from the vines. n.n

@zx3 When we were young, we flung scrap into trees haphazard and made forts for ourselves that could have crashed down in an instant. Reckless.

Now we prune and hem and haw and carefully, cautiously, *gently* apply tiny forces to groves, hoping to graft ourselves onto a branch and bear fruit again.

In time, again, we'll look at ourselves now and say 'how were we ever so bold, so reckless, so openhearted.' As we do now of who we were once.

Live, my friend. Life is too short. 💜

bad movie, inflatable robot 

@001zlnv Improperly inflating one's robot is frequently fun, too, tho.

@001zlnv @Austin_Dern @zebratron2084 There are tapes, of course. And then... there are _tapes_.

"Come dream with me tonight-" "Don't you understand, Ruxpin? SHE NEVER SLEEPS."

the Fisher-Price PXL2000 video camera could record a short, grainy, black and white video to a standard audio cassette.

not a long message... but long enough.

the caterpillar
the cliff
the dreamship
the horse

@zebratron2084 @001zlnv @Austin_Dern

Why did Jill or Max never get to wear Monster's cuffs in My Pet Monster?

Does everyone have tapes, and Ruxpin alone is cursed to know of the buttons?

When Tex Hex threatened to turn Judge McBride into a Dingo, a)did you abruptly wonder why you hadn't any female dingomorphs in the series and b)start rooting for furry tf?

@zebratron2084 @001zlnv "I think we all learned a valuable lesson here today." "A Care Bear Stare of five or more bears can can melt steel if focused to a point of half an inch or less, and reflections may be strong enough to flash ignite paper and polyester. Use proper Personal Protective Gear and never gaze directly into the unshielded Stare."

@zebratron2084 ... I was probably supposed to be learning important lessons about friendship and teamwork and asking my parents to buy toys, instead of trying to reverse-engineer fantasy weapon systems. Wasn't I. >.>

@zebratron2084 Laser rifles never ejected casings or needed ammo refills or recharging. I could see an argument for retconning/reusing the M16 hardware, build high-densisty chemical batteries into the magazines or clips and turn the entire bolt assembly into a single resonator gas laser assembly (CO2, trace elements argon for good side, neon for bad side for the glow effects), but just hang a lampshade on it or something!

@Edelwood Half of my mental health content warnings have been about hunting monsters, but not that way.

@zebratron2084 I'm pretty sure "dragon captive" wasn't on the list of possibilities from my grade school guidance counsellor. I mean, if it *had* been... just imagine...

(pointedly looks at @PhoenixTril)

They grow up so fast. 

The nest of bunnies, hidden below a planter in our back yard. Guessing they're about two, maybe two and a half weeks old now? Another week and they'll be leaving the nest, weaning, and running. Always running. A world of dangers.

But for just this moment, a gift. Full tummies, warmth, closeness, family, safety. Security.

Jackalope Mother watch over them.

Do people know what phone books are these days?

Anyway, I love this bit of trivia: phone books used filler items, usually stuff like public service announcements, to fill space when the listings and ad buys didn't line up quite right.

One of the rules for placing filler was:

"Call Before You Dig!" can't go in the Mortuaries section.

@JulieSqveakaroo ... oooooooh. Oh, I am lusting after your tool, Julie.

I mean I am envious of your new gear.

I mean I want to get my hands on your heavy machinery.

...

aw, heck

💜💦

lewd 

@IrisKalmia Well, no, of course not. Not *an*other hive entity.

Why limit yourself like that?

Backups should be widely d i s t r i b u t e d . . .

@Sangria Which one's the functional garbage? That's kinda my aesthetic on a good day anyhow.

wonder why THIS POST IN PARTICULAR gets me blocked for a weekend (it never happens)
