I gotta iron it and trim the top some but I cross stitched Flaaffy for a friend!! Second attempt, some colors are off but I worked with what I had.

A cross stitch of Flaaffy from Pokémon based on the pixel art from the Gen 4 games. It is a bipedal, pink sheep with white wool on its head and around its neck and chest. It has a long striped tail with a blue orb at the end of it. The design is on white Aida cloth.

@wizard99.bsky.social THANK YOU FOR THE KEYCHAIN AND DOODLE!!! I love him very much. catquill real

On the left is an acrylic keychain of a chibi Simon Blackquill from Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies. He is shackled by the wrists above his head. They attach to silver chains that connect the acrylic piece to the metal ring that would hook onto a bag.

On the left is a small pencil drawing on lavender paper. Drawn in the same chibi style, Simon is slamming his fists down and glaring with gritted teeth. He has simplistic cat ears and a tail, pinned back and poofed out to show anger. 'HISSS' is written next to him.

first cross stitch attempt :) I need to learn placement but I think it was successful to stick in a lil frame #pokemon #embroidery

A small cross stitch of Drifloon's minisprite on white material. It is cut slightly too small for the embroidery hoop it's in, so the edges fray slightly. The image is also a bit off center. Drifloon is a small purple balloon Pokémon with a cloud on its head and yellow accents on its face and at the end of its arm-like tassels.

Tyrell Badd from Ace Attorney Investigstions.

low quality digital drawing of two figures. One is absentmindedly smiling while the other gnaws on their head, quite enraged with being bulging and crying.

this too is langworth

A photo of a handout from the Department of the Air Force Security Forces Squadron.

'Subject: Language in the Workplace
1. It has been brought to leadership's attention that some individuals are using language that is inappropriate in the work environment. Due to complaints from some of the more sensitive members, this conduct will no longer be tolerated.
2. Leadership does, however, realize the importance of open, honest communication between members. With this in mind, leadership has compiled the following substitution list. It is imperative that all members understand and memorize the list so proper exchange of information and ideas can fluorish.'

There's a two long lists, divided into 'Old Phrase', being the crude ones, and 'New Phrase' being the professional one.

Some include:
"Ask me if I give a fuck" - "Of course I'm concerned"
"Eat shit and die, motherfucker" - "Excuse me, sir"
"Shove it up your ass" - "I don't think you understand"

An ableist slur is censored in one of the rude phrases.

why do they call these things hellbenders? I don't think they can do much of anything let alone bend hell

A large mottled brown hellbender salamander. It has short nubby legs, a sleek body and wrinkled skin. Its tail is long and flat and sort of fin-like. Its head is long and snout blunt. It's being held a small distance from the surface of a river, needing to be held in two hands safely. It's pretty big.

Sketchy image of a low-detail figure sweating and trembling with a wide eyed, almost fearful expression and slight smile. Arrow points to the figure with the words 'very normal'.

the vibes are accurate but I am a Thing (masculine)

she/they/it puppygirl

you have to present as a binary woman to most people irl because it's hard to explain that your actual gender is closer to Thing (feminine). probably a furry, vaguely romantic, and/or good at drawing. to be clear this is NOT an insult girlfreak is like one of my favorite genders ever

Today's pulls went CRAZY

A screenshot from the Pokémon The Card Game Pocket app. A virtual Pokémon card of Mewtwo, with full art over the whole card. It's a rarer EX card, with some linear holographic texture over the border and some text boxes. The art shows Mewtwo in a dynamic pose with an angry look, breaking through a glass window in the dim facility it was held in.

A screenshot of the Pokémon The Card Game Pocket app. A virtual Pokémon card of Zapdos. It descends upon the viewer with claws extended to attack and magenta lightning extending out around it. The card has a linear holographic texture.

A screenshot of the Pokémon The Card Game Pocket app. A rare Pikachu DX card. Pikachu is facing the viewer, popping out of the borders of the card art in an illusion of three dimensions, blue lightning surrounding it. The Card has a linear holographic texture.

newest addition to the music collection; Swans' Live Rope! it was recorded at the same venue I saw them at but on a different date.

A cardstock CD case, with a mottled brown cardboard-like texture as the background of the album art. The center of the art has a white circle overlayed with a sketchy, swirling black spiral-galaxy shape. Held in my left hand over brown carpet.

The cardstock CD cade opened in a trifold. In the center and right sections, there is a white CD with a red ring at the border. Respectively, in silver-holographic text, they read "SWANS: LIVE ROPE CD1" and "SWANS: LIVE ROPE CD2". The left section has a pocket that contains the album insert, a white card with small watercolor art of the band members' heads on animal bodies. It is small enough in the frame of the photo to be rather indistinguishable. The opened CD case is held in my left hand over my knee, with the background the same brown carpet.

The back of the album insert held in my left hand. It is made of white cardstock. It has a black border surrounding text regarding the album's tracks, personnel, recording and copyright information. In the lower third of the square insert is Michael Gira's signature.

The track list is:

"CD1: Rope/The Beggar (Rope music by Gira, Hahn, Mullins, Schechter, Puleo, Pravdica; Words/Music The Beggar by Gira with extensive live music re-arrengements and improvisation by Gira, Hahn, Mullins, Schechter, Puleo, Pravdica). CD2: 1. The Hanging Man (Words/Music by Gira) 2. Away (Words/Music by Gira) 3. Birthing (Words by Gira. Music by Gira, Hahn, Mullins, Schechter, Puleo, Pravdica). 4. Cathedrals of Heaven (Words/Music by Gira)."

The personnel is:

"Michael Gira - acoustic guitar, voice; Phil Puleo - drums, hammer dulcimer, flute, melodica; Kristof Hahn - lap steel guitar, loops; Dana Schechter - lap steel guitar, bass guitar, loops; Christopher Pravdica - bass guitar, Taishogoto, loops, sounds; Larry Mullins - Mellotron, keyboards, synthesizer, drums, sounds."

I don't have space for the rest of the text I believe, but the important bit:

"This album recorded in 2024 by Jerry Melcher (Swans live mix engineer) at Music Hall of Williamsburg, Brooklyn."

#nowwatching

Theatrical poster for 2000's But I'm A Cheerleader. White text over top reads out the actors: Natasha Lyonne, Clea Duvall, RuPaul Charles and Cathy Moriarty. Title text is in a yellow-and-blue varsity jacket-esque font. Natasha Lyonne stands in the center of the frame in a bubblegum pink dress, baby pink gloves up to the elbows, a hot pink, nearly-red pompom in her hands helf in front of her. She has a blank look as she gazes directly at the viewer. She stands against a blue sky backgrop with a small cloud behind her.

why did I get clocked so hard

Ace Attorney quiz results. I got Apollo Justice, and the blurb says:

you're apollo! you're probably under 5'7". you don't get paid enough for this shit. you're loud but not confident, but you wear your heart on your sleeve anyways because you'd hate yourself too much to do otherwise. also you are gay and I love you.

these are the same man to me

Damien Tenma from Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies. Large, intimidating looking anime man with long black hair, a deep scowl, and a glare in his eyes. Wears a teal suit with a short black tie with a purple clasp. He also has some big orange decorative beads around his shoulders with a purple string through them. On his head in the shape of a helmet there are layers of white seals, strips of paper with Japanese characters on them to ward away evil spirits. There is one between his eyes that has the addition of a red paw print.

Nathan Explosion from Metalocalypse. A large man with long black hair, a scowl, and angry eyes. He is sat in a chair, wearing rectangular glasses with an open newspaper in his hand, but he isn't reading it. He wears a plain dark gray tee shirt and black nail polish.

what is this image from and who is the guy in the back. why does it frame it like Desiree is Edgeworth's weirdgirl assistant. why does it look like an MMA match poster. Desiree v Maya is extremely unfair, that little hippie girl is getting her shit knocked in. I think Miles v Nick would be funny tho

asphodel @checkthelock.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

what is the origin of this freak

A sort of dog looking guy in a gray sweater, light blue jeans, and red sneakers. Looks like scrappy doo, with a big black nose, brown fur, dark eyes. An oddly human face reminiscent of that one Roblox face but with a kinder expression.
