THIS HOUSE HAS GOOD BONES

[COMMISSION] for @cogsbreak.bsky.social of his marshmallow of a behemoth ❤ thank you so much for the support!

"I wish I could do magic.' "If you have no magic," said the witch, "it's because you've used it all." "I've never done magic." "There's one spell most can do instinctively - turn back time. It only works once, it's so big it burns up all your magic." "I've never! If I could, I..." "Would have?"

The locals are good at photobombing.

2026 goals, revised

The Sword & Board has been approved by the adventuring guild to assign quests. Here is your first one:

"The Human's world ends soon," said the cat. "Again?" said the dog. "They are fond of endings and beginnings. Even if nothing changes." The dog whined. "Same procedure as last year?" said the cat. "Please." The cat lay on the dog's head and purred, muffling the fireworks. #CrossRepost

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

One of the recurring arguments I see made is “Writing is the best part! If you don’t like writing, don’t be a writer!” Sometimes it is! Sometimes it’s pure unadulterated glee! And sometimes I clean my house and repot my cactus to avoid it!

People with trauma histories often interpret neutral cues as negative. "You can come if you want." sounds to them like the person doesn't actually want them to come. Affirming that you want them there helps remove any doubts.

I know it's just base Star Chart mission alerts, while I'm going in with my strong builds, while other players are likely not, but... These numbers feel good. Uriel with Acid Shells Sobek fun as heck.

"GenAI lets me be creative!" I'm reminded of a line from a Mercedes Lackey book, "you don't want to write, you want to have written". They want the adulation, imagined or otherwise, without the effort or work.

Invisible collar.

The original shiptember colur-scheme for this one was a little plain. This one pops more and the decal compliments the biomechanical nature of the aircraft.

Thoroughly enjoying the new frame in Warframe. I just have ONE issue with it. I am very fast when flying, I just wish I could see HOW fast from "outside".

FFXIV Dawntrail contained a rare instance of an antagonist who knows the power of Skip Cutscene. "What mysteries could sleep within the lost city of gold?" - > [Skip] -> "MY LIEGE, THE LASER FLEET AWAITS YOUR ORDERS."

VB likes to think he's hot stuff and talks a big talk, but he's a delusional pushover and as soft as room temperature butter, especially when someone as big as Rodney confronts his bullshit. Sketch-page for @cogsbreak.bsky.social !

you know it's a busy christmas season cause this is picking up notes again 🫡

A little preliminary sketch for this year's Christmas card

Clinomania [KLIN-oh-MAY-nee-yuh] (n.) - An excessive desire to lie down and stay in bed; morbid sleepiness.

also goes for writing software. y'all know im legit because i won't shut the fuck up about it

"Hello, I'm here to order a Robotic Partner." "Ah, welcome. Please fill in this form." "Sure, for body options and features, right? Let's see... One of those, definitely. Hm. What's this 'Do you expect to be obeyed?' For that money, of course I do!" "Then we cannot help you. We only do partners."

The inscription on the blade shone silvery. "Justice," the maid read. "Are you an enchanted butterknife?" "Yes." She almost dropped it. "You are?" "For centuries, none who held me sought justice. I took this form to hide." It grew in her hand. She hefted the sword. "Hm. Not sure you can help."

Had an idea for a character on the way home, a sort of reverse mimic named "Lack". Whatever you have, they lack.

The architect tried to keep doubt from her face. "These are very interesting ideas, your majesty." The emperor smiled. "Thank you, I think there's a good variety of traps." "And the sign?" "Yes, 'Grave robbers welcome'. Definitely." "And you will be buried-" "In the garden, outside the tomb."

HIATUS: Chats with the Void will be going on break to allow me to recharge and focus on other creative endeavors!

This Black Friday, have you considered buying my silence, at special discounted rates?

Happy Friday! Check this out, we had some Frost Flowers grow last night. It's when the air is colder than the ground and the frost expands out of a dead plant which sucks water out of the warmer ground like a straw

The witch made him hot chocolate. "They say I'm strong," he said. "And I am." He took a sip. "They say I can overcome any hardship." "Mm," said the witch. "And I can. I do." The witch said nothing. "But I shouldn't have to!" "No." The witch held the hero as he wept. "No, you shouldn't."

Happy 10th Anniversary to the video that got furries into Caravan Palace and probably awoken something in a lot of people. youtu.be/UbQgXeY_zi4?...

"There's... er..." My new assistant bookseller faltered. Over by the window, an open book hovered. As I looked, a page turned. I picked up my hag stone and peered through it. "Just a ghost. That's a relief." "What else..." "Imps, devils, people with invisibility spells. The last are worst."

Finished up my kangaroo man! What do you think?

Shake it out! 🍆

There was a lot of gossip. Not because they were both very old, and famous. Not only because both used the same pronouns. Mostly because they were different species. How do they do it? "Like everybody else," the heir to the Elven throne said. The dragon smiled. "With love, care, and enthusiasm."

Me: why is my back hurting all the time? Also me:
