Let me tell you seeing Project Hail Mary and then coming down with the worst stomach bug of my life was a very strange emotional and physical rollercoaster I was not prepared for this weekend

I remember the Seniors in my high school would warn the younger students that they're going to have to read A Separate Peace and it sucks, it sucks so hard, you will hate every minute of it And they were totally right God I hated those two rich twats so much

I knew I was old the day I heard the New Radicals' song You Get What You Give used in a CVS commercial

The Midwife Fables "The Worth of Hair" and "Of Needles and Pins" plus the short story "The Midwife and the Lindworm" are now all available on my Ko-fi shop as digital epub downloads! Read them before the third fable "Scars Around Her Fingers" comes out this year! ko-fi.com/A453WAM/shop

Forged in the fires of Sonic fandom, honed in the battlefields of Harry Potter fandom, & polished in the Overwatch fandom mines. ...Christ, what a bunch of tire fires those were. Doing much better in Cult of the Lamb hell thank you very much.

Years ago when I worked at a day care the law suddenly changed to require all day care workers to be first aid certified and know cpr So they made all of us watch a first aid video and do one try on the cpr dummy and then passed out the certifications right after That day care no longer exists

A fun thing to do when engaging in any media is to ask yourself if the plot would have happened if the main characters weren't hot. Or even better, if the main character or love interest were disabled!

Hey guys you can get a Luigi mask at five below in case there is something you need to do in secret while acting in the spirit of Luigi

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉

Rabbit cross stitch update! Shout out to @jennieivins.bsky.social for figuring out it's an Alice in Wonderland print! I've gotten another four colors done but it's a little hard to tell with the wild print going on. But progress is being made, I swear!

Back in the day care a TA asked who Santa Claus was going to be that year in front of the children and before any of the kids could start asking questions the teacher said "She doesn't know who Santa Claus is! Can you tell her?" And she saved the day like a super hero I'm still impressed years later

STOP CALLING THINGS VEGAN LEATHER ITS FUVKING PLASTIC ITS P L A S T I C ITS PLASTIC it’s fucking plastic fuck you and your non renewable fast fashion fucking plastic goddamit

Onto the next cross stitch project! This one is a big one and is one of three matching prints. I've decided I'm going to post an update every four colors so I don't flood everywhere with pictures of a mostly unfinished project. Can you tell what this series is about??

Once in Catholic School the Nuns took my class bowling and I got a real stern talking-to by them because I kept praying for a strike. Apparently it was a sin to "bother" God with meaningless prayers. Did they think I was filling up his holy prayer answering machine or something?

Fanfiction doesn’t exist to be “good” it exists because something went horribly wrong with you while you were watching a tv show and you’re gripped by madness

When I was in Catholic school kindergarten I thought it was very sad that Jesus only lived for about four months before he died I was a very confused child

I worked at Six Flags Great Adventure many years ago and they had me working the Fast Past desk the first year it came out and when parents came up to me to bitch and complain I would say Sir/M'am I am just a cog in the grand machine of Six Flags (my exact words) there is nothing I can do about this

Used icy hot for the first time today on my hands and let me tell you it has been a learning experience over what parts of my body I can and can't touch

Ah, April Fools. The day I go and place a single rose on the grave of ThinkGeek

Went to the cat cafe with @aughtpunk.bsky.social and this little man fell in love with me. :3 Don't think he'd like the 9 hr± drive home though. :(

Heading down to North Carolina to visit @aughtpunk.bsky.social for the weekend! Only 9 more hours to go! 🛣🚙❤️

Ran a #Pokemon Mystery Dungeon TTRPG one-shot tonight. Here’s the squad.

I'm celebrating my birthday this weekend with a 15% off sale in my Ko-fi store! Now's the time to pick up Echo of the Larkspur, merch, or a sock imp! ko-fi.com/aughtpunk/li...

Well it took like three times as long as I thought it would and like ten times the effort but I got my first photo hanger thingy of fan art that's been gifted to me over the years! This is just art for my Forgiveness of the Lamb series...

Had severe insomnia last night so I spent it printing out all of the fan art I've received for Echo of the Larkspur and my various fanfic series! Now, how to display them...

Onto the next beaded cross stitch project! This one being an adorable beaded Pegasus! It's the largest one I've done so far, so this one might take a bit to finish. Even the black outline took ages to do.

My extended family has been studied by scientists (myself included)

Working on another beaded cross stitch while I wait for my needed background floss for my monster plant project. It's a cute lil dragonfly! And hey at least it's going fast.

Time for a new project! I bought an absolutely TERRIBLE cross stitch kit that had a pattern I really loved, so I'm doing my best to salvage it. For example I'm using some proper plastic backing instead of the cardboard (!) they gave me. Anyway, can you guess what it is?

Guys guys guys! I made it into the Fantasy-Faction Top 50 SFF Novels of 2025 list! Thank you to everyone who voted for me!

29. Echo of the Larkspur (The Daisy Chain Chronicles #1) by @aughtpunk.bsky.social.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO. USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+ NOT. A. DRILL. www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

Beaded Totoro cross stitch final update! It's been sewn up and stuffed and it's ready to become an ornament as soon as I find my jump rings!

Beaded Totoro cross stitch update! Oh man, doing all the gray beads took FOREVER! Now to cut out the beaded bits and sew them together!

Look what I dug up! I'm in the mood for cross stitching, so let's finish up this adorable bootleg Totoro keychain!

Once again I have been given an ornament at the ketamine clinic that was made by a patient and once again I am sad it doesn't say Ketamine on it

Chapter eight of my Cult of the Lamb fanfic Kaiseki is now up! In which Heket and Forneus finally have a very important picnic. archiveofourown.org/works/570141...

It's time for another sneak peek at chapter eight of my Cult of the Lamb fanfic Kaiseki! In which Aym and Baal might not be the best babysitters, but they're certainly the coolest.

I'm sorry, why is the McDonald's trash can transformer named Kurtis the Divine???

At my old terrible office job I would get "randomly" picked EVERY TIME there was a random drug test. All I can figure is that there was one person in HR who was like "Amber isn't stoned? Impossible! Test her AGAIN!"

Still snowed in, so let's enjoy a sneak peek at chapter eight of Kaiseki, my latest Cult of the Lamb fanfic! In which The Lamb has a slight issue with Heket's love life.

This may be the greatest sock imp I've ever made. Behold! The gay frog imp! 🐸 🌈

I'm trapped in my apartment thanks to a snowstorm so that means I've been playing a lot of Cult of the Lamb and fanfic writing! So enjoy this sneak peek at chapter three of Kingmaker, where Narinder gets a visitor while in prison.

5 classes you'd teach based on your life experiences/interests: 1) Why it's okay to flunk out of college 2) Whoops I wrote a novel and other fanfic writing issues 3) Don't Fucking Climb Mt Everest 4) Fiber Arts and why it should consume you 5) I MEAN IT DON'T FUCKING CLIMB MT EVEREST

Still waiting for the ice to melt. I made another sock imp today and some slightly better than last time muffins. They're flat, but at least they're not melted.

During my last supply run to the dollar tree I found Fight Club socks of all things! Naturally, I turned them into a sock imp.

Hey everyone! I'm doing fine in the ice storm, but it's been expensive so I'm having a "Whoops I need money" sale on my Ko-fi Shop! Buy Larkspur merch! Or a Sock Imp! Every dollar goes towards me paying my electric/heating bills! It's only until the 30th, so buy now! ko-fi.com/aughtpunk/li...

Ice Storm Journal: Since we might lose power and get into the single digits later this week I've created a blanket fort out of broom handles, duck tape, zip ties and my largest blanket. May it actually keep me warm.

Holy fucking shit this is awesome use this now cybernews.com/security/dev...

Once I worked a job where my boss yelled at me for not coming in during a massive blizzard because if I had taken my job seriously I would have bought an SUV like him. We sold plumbing fixtures. I made $10 an hour I should have laughed in his face.
