Misery loves company, and I'm pretty upset that Vraska is alone when they found love T.T

#Tokentober Day 8: Treasure Shout out to @legdotegg.bsky.social and @robotrad.bsky.social for inspiring me to make this sad, gut wrenching token. Y'all made me grow to love this pairing, and now look where we are!

A treasure token. It's a framed photo of Jace and Vraska, with a hand holding it on each side. A beam of light obscures most of Jace's face.

Possibly one of the greatest 3 panel comics of all time. Kills me everytime I see it. Get @beetlemoses.bsky.social ‘s new book, it’s pure joy end to end.

I'm sorry but if it costs more to cook at home, you don't know how to cook. I wonder if they're the type who won't eat leftovers either? When I cook for a family of 5 grown adults, there is often enough leftovers for at least two lunches tomorrow.

#Tokentober Day 7: Dragon I decided to test out some Stabillo markers and while they look great on these cards, the idea I was envisioning did NOT match the end product. I like the shading on the antlers and the blue flames.

Agreed. I built a Marty Robbins Big Iron deck using Kelsien the plague, and I slotted in every effect like this I could find so that way I could use Tainted strike and some HUGE damage spell, redirect it, and kill someone with "The Big Iron" in one shot. Kelsien wasn't as fun, but the flavor ❤️

Tam morning Radley. Question for you since I haven't read the story yet. Is Jace Tam's dad more or less? Cuz it really sounds like Tam is the conjured love child of Vraska and Jace.

Even this guy? I loved that period too, sadly I was still in high school so I couldn't buy a whole deck to counter play. This thing just thrashed us mercilessly until Theros came out and I could build Monoblack devotion.

It's been my favorite anime since 9th grade. I enjoy the newer seasons to a degree as well, but nothing quite replicates the first 6 ❤️ Every time I watch it I feel like I learn something new about the story or myself. "It's a Fooly cooly kind of thing!"

That screen shot is just a TikTok I found and saved as an art challenge for myself later 😅 I'm a primarily physical medium artist, and color work is still a bit strange for me. I have synesthesia that seems to affect how I see colors, so it's been a learning curve to get it right.

Pidamaya (thank you). Know that Dakota is the term my family uses, though many prefer Sioux (pronounced "Soo or like Sue"). If you want to know more about that name difference, go read Anton Truer's Everything you wanted to know about indians but we're too afraid to ask.

I'm not native myself, but I have family who are part of the Dakota tribe. I could tell you more, but I'd prefer you hear it from the people who've survived. I will share and support that effort how I can.

If your friends mom knows anyone who knows woodworking, that expensive sand tray isn't that hard to make yourself! I'd be happy to throw some money towards having it built, as that sand tray is practically theft for $129. If they'd like instructions, I can whip a set for them too.

If you don't know what Fat bear week is, explore.org/fat-bear-week is a site where people make brackets and vote for which will be the "fattest bear" at Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska. I still haven't decided on my #1, but my heart is leaning towards Gully. He eats birds. 💪🐻🍽️🐦

My fat bear week bracket. I have not yet decided who will take first, but I think it will be between 903 (Gully) and 910.

My really popular barebones RSS comic from November 2022! I hope it helps you stay updated with your favourite webcomics, artists and websites. I’m just a simple guy who’s passionate about RSS feeds, comics and staying updated using both. Go forth and make the feed of your dreams! #Art #Comic #RSS

Comic page giving a mini tutorial on what an RSS feed is. Panel 1: You might've seen this icon before. It's the RSS icon. But what is RSS? RSS is an update feed for a website. Every time the site publishes a post, article, comic page, etc. the feed is updated. Most websites have a RSS feed. Panel 2: You'll usually find it in a site's menu. It might also be on a sidebar or the footer. Panel 3: But if I click on it it's just a bunch of code! What gives? What am I supposed to do with it?! Panel 4: This is where you'll need a feed reader like feedly!

Comic page giving a mini tutorial on what an RSS feed is. Panel 1: One, on Feedly click the follow button. Two, copy the URL from the site's RSS button and add it to the search box. Panel 2: Three, this will bring up the feed for the site. Four, Add it by clicking the follow button. You can also search the name of the site without the RSS link but it's more accurate if you have the link. Panel 3: Add the new feed to a folder. Panel 4: Now the feed will appear on your Feedly when it updates! Panel 5: What I did was get the Feedly add-on for my browser. So every time a site I follow updates the extension lets me know! Panel 6: Clicking the title of the update opens the site in a new tab. I personally like seeing content on it's own site. But you can set everything up so you only ever need to open Feedly.

Comic page giving a mini tutorial on what an RSS feed is. Panel 1:If you run a site make sure your RSS button is easily accessible. The URL will usually be something like yoursite.com/feed or yoursite.com/rss. Panel 2: Be sure to follow your own RSS feeds to make sure they're updating properly. This way if it goes down for whatever reason you'll be able to catch the problem before your readers miss too many updates. Panel 3: And that's all there is to it! It's very customizable so play around with it to see what works for you! Panel 4: No fuss. No algorithms. Just the updates you choose to see! Hey! My favourite comic updated!
