I used to have a younger work colleague who once said the Save Icon was a picture of an SD card. Though she also had no idea why we say 'hang up' the phone, because terminating a phonecall only involves pressing a button.

Star Trek: The Next Generation. The tar looking creature, Armus, in the episode Skin of Evil absolutely terrified me. The way it looked, the tiny jerky movements, the general horror of it. I was petrified of binbags for *years* because of this. I still think of it as The Binliner Man.

You ever read a book you really enjoyed, while knowing your friend would *never* read it, all the while sure that if they gave it a shot they'd fall in love with a character that isn't quite in it enough to carry the suggestion? I just know my best mate'd just love Thelwel from Cage of Souls ;n;

Rgh, I love stuff like this. Did something similar in an RP a few months ago. Half anguished spirit house, half dionaea house. What Abigail Did That Summer by Ben Aaronovitch is sort of along this general concept, too.

Oh, he is absolutely horrible. It's like he wants to be one of those Pretty Ugly jug things when he grows up..? augh. Also ignore me wibbling jealously at the lovely Uranium Glass behind that monster.

Moo are really good! I do custom holiday greeting cards every year (and have for about 5 years) and Moo have never disappointed.

This is our Broken Mask Incident and it didn't try and mangle Piers Morgan? Boo.

I have one of those Demogorgon pajama hoodie things. It has the fleshy mouth petals around the opening of the hood. I will answer the door in that bad boy without hesitation.

I agree. I recently got Adrian Tchaikovsky's Preaching to the Choir and was delighted to find it was illustrated.

That is so painfully accurate. Half my secondary school looked like that (there were 4 of those, though one was the canteen) and the other half consisted of awful mobile classrooms from the Nearly New to the Positively Ancient.

Things I was frightened of as a child: Quicksand Acid rain Armus (the tar man thing) from Star Trek TNG The Groke from the Moomins The Autons from Pertwee's Doctor Who Deflated wrinkly balloons Excessive numbers of ticking clocks Seeing a scary face at my window (despite having a 3rd floor room...)

There's not, but they have a website I'll check out! c:

Wide fit shoes! I always struggle to find shoes wide enough, which really sucks when I literally sell shoes for a living, haha. Those are really cute!

Awww! I would like to visit. I'd never want to live there (their healthcare situation) but I'd absolutely love to go and see some places. West Virginia is on my list, because I need to see the Mothman Museum. And also Boston, half because I'm a US History dork, and half because ... Fallout 4, haha!

Oh, that is SO cool! Somebody dressed up as NIRA! And the brahmin mask is cool as heck, haha. I made a little "eee!" noise at the person dressed as Murmrgh! Everyone has lovely costumes, dang. Thanks for sharing this, it made my day, what a lovely bunch of fans =D

Baylock @baylock.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
Cool! I'll have to check it out! I'd love to try the WV one. Fallout plus mothman aaaaa <3

Baylock @baylock.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
The Children of Atom! Weird choice, but I think they're neat. I also love the Cult of the Mothman from 76, though. Close second. Neither are as recognisable as the NCR, but still fun. I love that you can use the cool chest piece on yours, it just looks great c:

That's so cool! It looks so good! One day I'm gonna get a cosplay together of my favourite faction, I feel inspired, haha.

Oh, fun! I just did this and I am British. I'm from Birmingham, so condolences to anyone learning I speak like the sodding Peaky Blinders. Apparently I'm most like Maine, Mass. and Rhode Island, but that's not much of a surprise.

I like grey backgrounds if there are lighter-than-the-background highlights? If that makes sense? Otherwise it always looks a touch muddy to me.

I thought that was only for beards, but I suppose it could be applied to anything!

Yeah, where I am it's just straight up full fare!

Baylock @baylock.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
I think it depends on the area. Some places make OAPs pay the full fare if they want to travel at Peak Times (mine does, pass isn't valid at all before 9:30) while others charge variously reduced rates. Tees Valley charges 30p with a concessionary pass.

Baylock @baylock.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
They're pensioners. They have their concessionary bus pass, but that's not free until after a certain time to ease crowding for people needing to get to work. We call them Twirlies round these parts, as in, "Ooh, am I too early?"

Baylock @baylock.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
Man, I hate this. If a driver stops for me when there's jack all behind them it annoys me, too. Just *go*, you're not being helpful, I just feel like I have to rush now. >8[

Oh no, there's two West Midlands now? Is the northern one likely to say "Ey up, bab." Or something?

I tried, but it just comes back stronger... my garden belongs to the thorny pricklejungle now ;n; Upside, occasionally there are Lords and Ladies plants looking ominous and bobbly within.

I have neither, just a relentless barrage of bramble that will not die. It's got life, but at what cost?

I love this cover. Seeing the whole piece is really cool. I always struggled to imagine the Stsho from the descriptions so its cool to see what they probably look like (outside of being tiny in the background of Chanur's Homecoming) c: Also everyone should read this series. I mean, look at it! ;n;

If they'd stated he was extra fluffy and looked like he was made of Corduroy I could be sure he was the Midlands Mothman, Bob 'Owler, but no... I think you're right. This guy might be local to Crinkly Bottom. o_o

"Listen to annoying snatches of conversation, screaming children, sirens and traffic noise, asshole" is a weird hill to die on but at least you're dead.

Baylock @baylock.bsky.social · 08/08/2026
Yup. And if I recall correctly, CJ Cherryh went a step further and had to add the H to the end of her name because 'Cherry' sounded too much like a romance author.

Baylock @baylock.bsky.social · 06/08/2026
I detest that when I see an interesting novel these days I have to look into the publication date and/or the author's other work timescale to double check it's not AI slop. Such bullshit.
