HEY, reminder I'M NOT ON BLUESKY ANYMORE. The moment they asked for ID I noped out. ✌️ I've been so busy I beat my internet addiction through sheer lack of time, plus internet's not the same anymore. Don't feel I'm missing much Sure, my comedic genius will go unrecognised, but it already was lol.

Ok so I verified my age once on bluesky, successful I suppose because my email was over 18 years old. Always said I wasn't handing over any of my data and that I'd rather quit than do that. So, I suppose, see ya.

I've avoided posting images of fashion because I'm too tired to do alt text justice, but I've wanted to post some fashion shots for a while, so.

Black/dark green shirt/shorts combo with a red/gold/black statement beaded necklace and earring.

Black shorts and a navy button up with orange/white/blue/purple flowers and green leaves, finished with a plain metal bolo tie.

I really outdid myself for Kiera's present this year, which I presented on the 1st Dec: An advent calendar containing a wrapped gift each day. A box closed with two number combo locks. Every day, she'd open a "good" gift (1), or "bad" (0). The binary code revealed the 7 digit lock number.

An off-white fabric advent calendar with small bits and bobs poking out the tops of 24 of the pockets. Each of these has either a white peg with green tape and a "1"on it, or a grey peg with red tape with a "0" on it.

A curly haired woman sitting on a wooden floor, looking down and taking a photo of a spread of opened gifts, lying on an open black box with two unlocked combination locks on the floor beside it: a silk, lacy, black blouse; two Splatoon squid hats (orange and green); a bee themed card ("You're the Bees Knees!" with gold foil bees and hive); and a small booklet containing various logos of the early computer software scene.

I've been antsy about my hair getting longer but I've not had time to get a haircut. And then I realised I can do a kind of Brendan Fraser hair part so I leant into it (and ignored the humid summer weather, the sweat gloss added to the "I just outran mummies" vibe).

A moustached man with an even part and a slight curl falling on either side of the forehead. He's wearing a grey/brown button up with large, detailed, cream, floral patterns on the upper half, and smaller more uniformly placed smaller iconic flowers in the bottom half against the grey. The top buttons are undone, and the long sleeves rolled up to the bicep.

His purple-brown pants are held up by red-brown suspenders, and a low contrast black belt.

He's in front of shelves with games and books on them, and a messy shoe rack.

SO, I was doing a thing where I was taking photos of clouds I liked. Classic me, I got WAY too invested in the gamified version I accidentally manifested by my obsessive nature, and now I'm taking multiple pictures of clouds every day. To the point my partners are telling me to hurry up. 😭

Another storm, another instant set of 4 happy cloud photos!

Trees and buildings poke sightly into the bottom of the frame, the composition dominated by sky filled with various hues of clouds. Most of their stippled edged forms are grey, framing a dusky, desaturated blue sky in the centre, around a red stop light centrally positioned in the composition. The bottom right clouds catch a lowering sun, turning pale oranges and pinks.

A silhouette of the Brisbane City skyline in the bottom, below that, a few cars driving only just in the shot. Rolling, fluffy clouds turning golden are a backdrop to flecks of dark grey in front and all through the sky, all contrasting with the blue sky in the top left corner.

Another corner of pale blue sky in the composition against a mottled mix of cream and grey. A glowing setting sun pierces through the clouds washes the clouds over the horizon golden. There's a bridge over a river with sparse apartment blocks and cranes down the bottom of frame.

A low angle of a thin, four-piece street lamp rises above its concrete jungle brethren between trees, a black silhouette against a sky turning from blue to orange, with the grey clouds lit from below by the sun out of frame.

Atticus (Attie) @attie-has-tea.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

Been a good day for clouds. It usually takes me a few weeks to get 4 I think are worth sharing, but the storm delivered today!

A wet street, little traffic, in the late afternoon with a collection of different kinds of trees between powerlines on the other side of it (palm tree, bushes, gum tree, etc). Most of the photo is devoted to a cloudy sky busy with a variety of different hues and lighting, with fluffy white and cream highlights between the foreground shadowed clouds.

Bushes, powerlines, and streetlights poke up from the bottom of the composition, with the photo focusing on a bright and fluffy white and cream mass of cloud in the bottom left corner, in front of a very blue sky with darker clouds peppered in the top right corner.

A rolling sea of clouds with dark masses obscuring the breaks to yellow and cream from the lowering sun. The darker foreground clouds give the appearance of a nebula. The foreground contains a darker tree and side of a brick building.

A pastelly light blue grey sky with blobs of clouds almost the same colour, with a splash of orange in the bottom right corner. The photo is dominated by a lit streetlight and overhead lines with the corners of trees framing the bottom.

I thought long and hard about how I could succinctly explain the story of what's going on here, but I just can't.

In front of a passing bus and a rubbish bin, a short man in a pink/blue/orange plaid short-sleeved shirt and pink shorts stands next to a tree, below a street sign reading "Adeline La". He's holding up high a naively crafted but endearing stuffed giraffe made of pink fabric with white spots, and a pink/blue/white yarn mane and tail. The giraffe has a blue ribbon around it's neck, as does the man. How expression is subtly excited while he gestures with an open hand to the giraffe he's holding.

In New Zealand, we (@cratesmith.bsky.social and I) were competing to see who could get the most compliments on each day's outfit. I only got more one day, and definitely lost overall. 😭

The "I'm the dumbest man alive" comic blank meme, consisting of simple humanoid figures. The first panel is someone wearing a crown and royal cloak, the second is an unassuming casually posed figure with a gormless look on their face, followed by the final panel of the figure with the crown on their knees passing the crown to the person speaking in the second. The first blank field by the crown wearing figure reads "I am the best dressed", the second said by the gormless figure is a photo of Kiera, an austere looking woman with curly red and blonde hair, wearing a gorgeous burgundy coat with gold buttons and a rogue-like hood. The final panel is filled with the first figure giving away the crown with "fuckin' oath." written in.

The fuckin looks I got today walking though the suburbs while carrying a folding stool strapped to a guitar-hero controller looking for a wall to jump off in the least amount of clothing I've ever been outside in. #animation

In a clearing in the Australian bush, a short man wearing a black sleeveless midriff and black short shorts jumps off the edge of a concrete slab wielding a guitar-hero controller with a folding stool taped to it like a hammer, swinging it over his head, waiting for gravity to take effect.

A short man standing with clenched fists raised photographed from behind with the stool-guitar slung over his back, holding a long get e bendable phone holder. He's standing in the entrance to a house, shoe and coat rack to the left, shelf of board games to the right, ready to go out a white door in a red wall.

An old guitar hero controller lying on the grass, three rows of black tape binding it to a white folded up stool.

I've stopped being poly for cafes and settled down with one I think has good vibes, and most importantly, good coffee. If you're in Taringa, "Aunty Paul's" is a very cool spot and is now my regular! The owner saw me unwrapping presents and gave me a card, a little gift, and a voucher, the bastard.

A homely looking cafe counter with a red-orange wall to the left covered in posters (notably one saying "nice bum" in red and pink, and Jesus saying "I saw that"), and a black behind the counter with menu items. The front counter is covered and surrounded by offbeat things to buy like sexually suggestive caps and earrings. There's an old fashioned tv below a glass cabinet of pastries.

A wooden shelf showing three shelves:
The upper containing two ceramic jars in teals and golds and a ceramic VW van, the bottom a few more plain jars.

The focus of the photo is the middle shelf which contains a card with giraffes and a love heart between them opened to show a message reading "Happy Birthday - Love Paul + Team". A black card with rainbow writing says "Happy Birthday Atticus, love Aunty Paul + team". Between the cards is a rubber duck with a gold necklace and sunglasses, wearing a red knit beanie with golden "LOVE" on it.

I FOUND SOMETHING: I found a 3XL shirt at an op shop: "How big is 3XL? Can I do something there?" Realised that it's VERY LARGE and looked ridiculous. I thought, "this won't do anything, but what if I tuck it into my pants..." And behold! (I've stopped trying face expressions in these.) #altfashion

Awkward standing pose of a small moustached man with slightly bent knees and outstretched arms on a tiled balcony in front of a glass door with a sliding screen, that has a fabric print of a Japanese style whale and a black fabric square with an Eastern European style symbolic bird hanging off it.

He's wearing a 3x extra large t-shirt with green, yellow, and black vertical stripes.

The same location and awkward outstretched arms pose in the shirt, this time with the bottom tucked into the waist of a pair of pink shorts.

Summer is coming and I only really had completely casual hippie-and-thongs. I found these shoes at an op shop and I'm trying to figure out what I own to go with them. #altfashion

A background of a large dark wood bookcase on a wooden floor and the back of a cream leather couch. Little guy kind of leaning back looking at his feet with a weight shift to his left with the right foot extended and raised off the heel. Arms raised with slightly clasped fingers. The outfit features plain un-patterned clothing with light cream shorts, a burgundy t-shirt, and a short-sleeved black button-up unbuttoned used as a jacket. The shoes are black-with-brown-dots loafers with white soles, brown leather tips, and burgundy, black, and yellow tongues. He's also wearing a black scarf with uniform ornate pink and green diamonds, and a round dangly earring.

Close up of the loafers to show the brown dots are actually star shaped with a subtle grid been them. The broken leather tips have yellow stitching, and are mirrored just under the yellow-black-burgundy stripe tongue. There's a repeating word "NICE" (reversed from the mirror photo) vertically down the tongue, and a metal loop atop it.

The hairy legs are standing in cream carpet.

I found amazing socks and went through my wardrobe with a fine-toothed comb to find what I think might be the only clothes I have that work with them. High-rise socks seem like a risky play, but I think I pulled it off.

Small man in a casual outfit with a vertical red/yellow/brown t-shirt with a black rimmed collar, light cream shorts, brown and white sneakers, and high-rise light cream socks with big tattoo designs woven in. He's also got a leather wristband and clear glasses. He's looking down, leant over looking at one foot which is slightly tilted and raised. The background is a room with a wooden floor and a large stepped bookcase and a shoe rack on the right. A cream leather couch just out of shot.

A closer look at the socks with a photo of the shins down. Upsidedown in the photo from the perspective of the wearer. The socks pull up to midway up the hairy shins. They're pale cream with two tattoo style artworks on each sock, both featuring a bird down the bottom, and the left an open mouthed snake, the right a red flower. The art has bold black outlines and features green, yellow, and red fills with some areas are filled black. The brown shoes have white soles and laces, with white Australian Aboriginal artwork on the sides.

The legs are resting on a wooden desk with the corner of a screen running Maya on top of a riser with a black keyboard underneath. Resting on an angled part of the desk is a notebook with notes about 3D animation. There's a Power Wash Simulator desk mat.

I faced an internal struggle for many years during the early 2000s that this was the best OC design of all time, but also I conveniently "couldn't find the right place" for it. #art

A completely aliased, chunky outlined neopet species "zafara" which is a bit like a kangaroo crossed with a lemur with dragon spines. It's colouring is garish: majority missing-texture-purple, pure #FFFFFF white belly and sock markings on the paws and tail, dragon spines black, with a black snout and eye markings like a ring-tailed lemur. The jewel of the design bright orange from the corner of the eyes down the body in a line, with an orange tuft of hair, and long, orange ears with "eye-catching" black spots going down them. There's an inkling of orange spots on the forehead. Classic. The Zafara is standing stiffly with the head turned back more dynamically.

The same zafara, this time a bit of a more exciting pose with the creature viewed from the back, head turned to the camera, and it grasping its giant feet.

The same design skinned onto essentially a griffin. ("Legally trademarked eyrie" neopet.) It's added white wings, where the black snout was is now a beak, with the addition of a bright blue collar, because things just weren't bright enough, y'know?

The same design over a goat ("legally trademarked ixi" neopet) with a maturely toned down black collar, and black hooves.
