i don’t think i’ll cope with neil newborn narrating the astarion book. i played bg3 wearing headphones irl & entering stealth triggered a whispered line of dialogue from astarion that made me panic and almost close the game multiple times out of weirdly horny shame

did you know that when you can sew you can make whatever you want? meet Goostav, the apartment goose.
katy holding the taped-together paper pattern pieces for the porch goose: the goose is 20” tall and extends from katy’s shoulder down the length of her torso. it’s a big goose! cut out goose pattern pieces: two white body pieces, four orange feet pieces, and an orange beak made from two pieces. they are arranged on two cutting mats, with cutting tools to the side.after sewing the feet together, they are stuffed and then three lines of stitches are added to make them “webbed”. augie, a small white cat, sitting on a desk chair and looking up at a fabric goose plush.

sewing is a great hobby to pick up if you like to experience levels of exhausted and irritated previously unknown to you, and have fucking nothing to show for it.

here's a crochet tip They won't tell you: don't weave in your ends as you go. what if you end up needing to frog and start over? don't weave the ends in. you don't have to weave your ends in, and it's fine to leave it until you're done. and then you'll definitely do it, don't even worry about it.
evil kermit in a black hood is definitely not giving u bad advice that will backfire

one way you know the date everything character designers are true little freaks (affectionate) is the lovingly drawn ruby-coloured armpit hair on your microwave.
a screenshot from the game 'date everything' showing the art for the character "luke nukem" a character voiced by travis willingham. he's a muscular redhead with goggles on his forehead, a large glass plate mounted like a shield on one arm, and a microwave door styled like a metallic crop top. he's scratching his head, confused, and the gesture shows off a little dusting of armpit hair.
