The remade sample of my chevron is coming (bottom one). Fingers crossed that the finish is the exact same as my old ones. There's a lineup of people waiting for these little guys to go back in stock!
Two Stargate chevrons, the bottom one just metal and 'empty', the top one filled with sparkly glittery blue colour. The top one also has an odd sheen to it.

These are my two favourite Etsy receipt doodles. You guys have no idea how much I love drawing Protoss. They're like my comfort food of subjects. (And dragons of course. But that's a given, you know?)
Protoss zealot (a bipedal alien warrior with no mouth and a cranial crest) ready to strike! It's a drawing of the warrior in black and white and it's charging its psi blade while its nerve cords swing behind it. The text adjacent reads "En Taro Adun, Executor! May this pin serve you well!"Protoss dark templar (a bipedal alien warrior with no mouth and a cranial crest) swinging a dual bladed psi scythe, a psythe if you will! It's a drawing of the warrior in black and white striding forward, wrapped in dark cloth with two prominent braids along its chest. The text adjacent reads "Adun Toridas, Prelate! Walk in the shadows with courage" and below "and build more pylons"

Three people talking on Reddit: red, blue, and green. Red has a USA tag, the other colours have no tags, this is in reference to soccer and the FIFA tournament. Red, in summary, says [the Belgians] would all be speaking German if it wasn't for [the US] lmao. The responder in blue says Belgians speak German, it's one of their official languages, and that the poster cannot be serious. It continues with green and red mocking blue for witty grammatical bullshit regarding a bunch of ellipses.

Chima is not a super affectionate boy. But when my mom isn't feeling well he takes charge of being her nurse with soft, inaudible purrs. If that's not love I don't know what is. (Or maybe he's hypnotizing her to feed him snackus, this is entirely possible.)
