"right. i'll just happen to find something that's never been read, where the author mysteriously died after writing it."
a hand pulls a few of the book's pages apart showing they've never been cut since the book was bounda bunch of introductory stuff about the geography of china, but the important part is the footnote:

"dr graham died at englewood, colo, on september 1961, while this book was in press. -- EDITOR"

"hey check it out, it looks like an archaeology professor must've passed away and all their books ended up at the thrift store, i'm buying a ton of em" "that's like the start of a horror movie, you're gonna end up with some cursed book about lost rituals in the himalayan plateaus or something"

my daughter decreed that this elf druid should have a bright pink cape so i guess she's like a cherry blossom and wildfire druid now.
a blond druid miniature with tanned skin, holding a staff, conjures a bright red magical bird in one hand, as her pink cape billows out behind her. she is wearing a red tunic with leather leg armor and boots over her pants.

i like using interesting colors on these minis. it gets drab when everything is natural colors and brown and stuff
a hand holds up a d&d miniature, of a kalashtar cleric with silvery white hair, a turquoise cloak swept back as she strides forward, shining silver metal on her breastplate and a deep blue color on her dress that parts to reveal her leg armor going up to her thigh. she carries a mace in one hand and a shield in the other.

nancy addresses the banker, who is eating ice cream

the banker retorts
IT WAS NOT BY MY HAND THAT IM ONCE AGAIN GIVEN CASH. I WAS CALLED HERE BY POORS WHO WISH TO PAY ME MORTGAGE.

nancy's response
"MORTGAGE"?! YOU STEAL MEN'S HOMES AND MAKE THEM YOUR OWN!

the banker:
PERHAPS THE SAME COULD BE SAID OF ALL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

nancy has had enough:
YOUR WORDS ARE AS EMPTY AS MY IRA! MANKIND ILL NEEDS A BANKER SUCH AS YOU!

man i have way too many pictures of this cat
my awkward black manx shows off how chunky she used to be, standing up on her hind legsmy little manx kitty when she was much younger looking back over her shoulder at the camera while we snuggle in bed. you can see the green-blue ring around her pupils in this photomy black manx kitty adorably snuggles up with my son's stuffed cow, her paws wrapped around it as they cuddle together in the blankets of my bed, though she is glancing up and to the right as though she has just heard something

i had to put my little manx kitty down today she was 17 years old. had her since 2009. she was terrible at being a cat. clumsy, noisy, fell off things, had zero grace, but one of the greatest kitties it has ever been my honor to have shared my life with, so soft and loving sweet dreams baby girl
a photo that is slightly blurry and low quality because it's from 2009 and i only had a shitty nokia camera phone then, showing a little black kitten sitting looking prim on the carpet surrounded by the package she has shreddedan awkward, tail-less black cat is right up close to the camera, looking right. i'm relatively certain my kid took this picture and the cat was trying to get her to fill up her food dish, just visible in the immediate background to the right.a black cat, mid blep, sits in a white basket, severely backlit by the window behind her. a little red charm is on her collar.my sweet girl looking about as regal as she ever could, perched on the book i'm reading (which looks to be calvin and hobbes) with her little dainty paws together, looking up at me expectantly with her green eyes

letting my daughter paint some of these Little Guys (tm) so i guess this elf druid lady is like a springtime cherry blossom druid or something now. actually, shit, i think i like that, we'll run with that as an NPC.
fingers hold up a partially painted d&d miniature of an elven druid lady. her cloak has been painted a vivid light pink and the magical bird she is conjuring in one hand a bright red. in the background are rows of paints and random desk detritus.

a panoply of weird little guys on a desk, with rows of paints behind them. there's weird little fungus monsters, a bunch of kobolds, a couple clerics casting spells, a handful of warforged, and some hobgoblins and skeletons and zombies.

four panel comic of two children talking while they walk in the snow

panel one:

kid a- I'M GOING TO BE A FRANKENSTEIN FOR HALLOWEEN.

kid b- NOPE. IT'S
FRANKENSTEIN'S MONSTER, NOT "A
FRANKENSTEIN."

panel two:

kid a- ACTUALLY, ALTHOUGH THE MONSTER NEVER GETS A NAME IN THE BOOK, HIS "FATHER" IS NAMED FRANKENSTEIN, AND HE ONCE REFERS TO HIMSELF AS THE "ADAM OF YOUR LABOURS."

panel three:

kid a- THUS YOU COULD REASONABLY CALL HIM "ADAM FRANKENSTEN" OR BY TRUNCATING HIS FIRST NAME:
"A. FRANKENSTEIN"

panel four:

kid b- YOU PICKED YOUR COSTUME *AFTER* THINKING UP THAT ARGUMENT, DIDN'T YOU?

kid a- WOULD YOU SAY IT'S A TRICK OR A TREAT?

if, instead of this paragraph, there was like two lines of Meg being horrified that it's *just* a brain, that right there would fix the narrative dissonance. instead the character's reaction feels bizarre and thrust me out of the tension
As she continued to step slowly forward, at last she realized what the Thing on the dais was.
IT was a brain.
A disembodied brain. An oversized brain, just enough larger than normal to be completely revolting and terrify-ing. A living brain. A brain that pulsed and quivered, that seized and commanded. No wonder the brain was called IT. IT was the most horrible, the most repellent thing she had ever seen, far more nauseating than anything she had ever imagined with her conscious mind, or that had ever tormented her in her most terrible nightmares.
But as she had felt she was beyond fear, so now she was beyond screaming.
