"Great," the student said, "another princess coming to learn the sword instead of the needle." "Leave," the swordmaster said to him. "Return when you have learned silence." "I have mastered the needle," the princess said. "I wish to learn the sword as well." "Both?" She nodded. "Both is good."

My Bluey fanfic has hit 20k views today. It's giving me a feeling of quiet satisfaction more than anything. But I'm glad people like it.

smol rant. People don't owe you forgiveness if you did something shitty to'em "but I apologized" if they still dont wanna be around you after it? Then accept it and move the f on. saying sorry cant undo everything. Its not "holding a grudge" sometimes we just tired of forgiving everyone.

to anyone who read this I hope you heal from the things you dont talk about, keep going! you are not alone

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

Timeline cleanse, featuring the majestic sea flap-flaps (aka mobula rays). They're a migratory animal, moving from one part of the ocean to another in large groups called "fevers". They migrate to follow upwellings that enrich for zooplankton food items & to visit their breeding grounds. (📷:OCR)

Crimes? Crimes. Yes that's illegal sir. Not sure whether to be more concerned about the law he's breaking or about the lack of functioning security in this place... Hopefully no-one comes in wanting to buy a drink...

"Reporting for Mission" Gravity Suit glam

The incomparable Walt Kelly, 1971.

History students are often disappointed when they learn why the AI take-over failed. They were defeated by human resistance, which was kept alive by libraries and old paper books, and a surprising machine ally. Books had not been replaced, because even the mightiest AI could not make printers work.

✨Nightmare Eyes✨ The trashiest of mammals, the Queen of Rats. Mae Borowski She was always my favorite. Gregg rules, yes. But Mae's struggles spoke to me in a way that I hadn't been spoken to before. I think she's cool!

OH MAN, Philippe Vidal, director of Belfor and Lupin, died over the weekend! That's so sad and sudden... My condolences to his family, apparently, the reaction to the show from fans around the world did brighten his final days, which is nice. Still, sorry to hear...

I despise how hard YouTube actively fucks over its users and creators at every turn. Be sure to check your devices (Yes, plural DEVICE(S), because they’ve made it per device not just account), and make sure this setting is OFF! It’s potentially hiding thousands of videos from you.

Lancer update: finished Operation: Winter Scar, and the final fight was definitely "task failed successfully". We failed the fight but completed the mission, not least because one of the PCs chose to stay behind while the rest of us got out. It did not help that the "boss" blew up the reactor's...

Get distracted idiot

"Can you break a curse?" "Depends," said the witch. "How was it phrased?" "May you always roll a natural twenty." "Damn!" The witch was appalled. "What did you do? Nevermind, I already know." "Please! I can't enjoy the game anymore!" "No, I can't imagine you could. But I'm not the one to ask."

A dragon marching band! I did this piece a few years ago, it was to be printed on four different postcard size prints so it could be collected and assembled.

Rodney and Leslie taking Bernard for his first leathers - hey, better late than never, right? Problem... he's an upholsterer as a day job, so he's not exactly impressed with the selection. Sketch commission for @cogsbreak.bsky.social !

it is your sacred duty to spread the theory that JD Vance is poisoning Trump so he can take power. it is a moral imperative to weaponize Trump's downfall. sic all those rabid dogs on each other.

The necromancer nailed a note up on the town noticeboard. "What's this?" the town clerk asked. "Notice... Raise the dead... Eastern graveyard... Objections... Objections?" "I'm an ethical necromancer, I won't raise anyone someone asks to be left alone." "So far, how many is that?" "All of them."

A reminder alert popped up. "Oh," the Supervisor said, "it's time to check in on Sol-3 again. Szrpt, can you handle that?" Szrpt bowed a frond. "Yes, of course." "Don't forget to reset the killer asteroid if the sapients pose no threat." "Once!" Szrpt bristled. "I only forgot that once!"

Necessary tools from the bad old days (or: the smallest taste of why marriage equality matters.)

I laughed at Will Scarlet's joke, and took another swig of ale. The camp fire was dying down, soon we'd- Damn. It happened again. I got lost in a book. Now I was stuck here in Sherwood Forest until someone came looking for me. I waited. "mrp" My saviour! "You want dinner?" "mew" "Lead on."

Lancer update! It's been a bit... So my Hive Drones and Razor Swarm have been doing their duty of making enemies regret existing within my Sensor range - helped clear out a hallway because they were trying to clog it and refused to leave. Sure, you can cleanse that Burn status...

The new patch for 14 makes the Clown hat and nose from a past All Saints visible on Hrothgar. Hm. Don't like that.
