#But here's a small bit of what could be

it’ll be cute if kid dust learn about Christmas
He had hoped that by now the boys would be back to their true selves. Instead, he was preparing them for the upcoming holiday. More specifically, he was introducing Dust to Christmas in slow increments. The others already knew and understood the holiday. All three were all but bouncing off the walls with excitement. Not that Dust was not getting excited, too, following the energy of the others. He just needed help to understand what it was he was supposed to be excited about.
First, there was the tree. Nightmare brought the boys out of the castle to an empty and snowy AU. Once there, they went sledding before helping him find the right tree within the forest of evergreens. Then, after cutting it down and pulling it back through a portal to his castle, he had the boys help him doctorate the evergreen. Dust was confused by this, but he was enjoying himself and wanted to help. After words he sat quietly in the room with the tree as Nightmare read quietly to himself. Occasionally, the guardian would look up at the child who marveled at the lights and colorful ornaments. 
They had that moment of peace as the others played in another room with Lyra playing a game. It was good that they had it though, as it was the first introduction to the concept of Christmas for the boy.
Starting that night and every bedtime after, he read various Christmas stories. They each provided more information for Dust to learn and over time, Nightmare could tell the child was beginning to understand. He could see Dust connecting the dots as he looked around at the decorations Lyra placed as he reflected on the stories. Dust even started to ask small, questions that showed he was trying to understand more and was excited to see what will happen.
“what does it mean to be good?” “It means you do not misbehave and do what is right or what your told to do.”
“why do the bad children get coal?” “They get coal because that is not fun or nice”
“if i failed at doing something i was supposed to do, does that make me bad?” “No, especially if you are talking about the tests. If anyone deserves coal, that worthless Doctor should be buried in it.”
“we give gifts to each other… but what if i don’t have money to buy things?” “well, i can pay for the gifts for now, or you can make something yourself.”
“what if someone i made something for doesn’t like it?” “It means that person has a cold soul, as they can not be bothered to acknowledge the hard work and love you put into making the gift.”
Now that he knew Dust understood, next came the challenge of Santa letters. He was going to have to help the boys write them. So, one by one, he had them come to his office, and he helped them write their letters to Santa by transcribing what they said to paper or providing spelling and grammar assistance as they wrote it themselves.
Lastly, in came Dust, Ferrous trailing behind him and a yellow Pocket Mans character in Christmas garb in his arms. The child looked at Nightmare with nervousness glance but he relaxed as Nightmare smiled at him, “Come on over here, Dust.”
Obediently, the child went further into the office and to the desk. Once he was close enough, Nightmare carefully picked Dust up and set him on his knee. Ferrous sat and watched, tail wagging and Nightmare gave the loyal canine a pat on the head. Turning his attention back to Dust, who hugged the stuffed toy while looking up at Nightmare attentively, Nightmare said while grabbing a piece of paper and his quill, “It is time for you to write your letter to Santa.”
… He had hoped they would be adults by now… but he had a feeling this was going to be a very special Christmas that he would always cherish.

Some fantasy traveler inventory details (like what they would carry in their bags), based on two of the recent costumes I did.. love finding random little scraps and items and putting them together lol
#it's obvious who's is who's since they match their outfits HOWEVER.. consider if they were switched lol#evil villain looking man carrying around pressed flowers in a cutesy lacy pouch#fantasy costume#what's in my bag#actualyl that would have been funny to make a video. I should make a video#I'm sure someone else has already done this#but like.. lifestyle vlogger type content however I'm dressed in fully costume as some weird elf or something#pulling things out of my bag and showing them to the camera and talking about how they're useful for whatever#but it's all fantasy scenarios and talking like it's very common#'and of course. i know it's a bit cliche#EVERY traveler has one of these. but you know. theyre just useful! thats why everyone has one!' *pulls out a completely unrecognizable item#thats like some weird fantasy world prop and doesn't even explain it because In-world it's normal and wouldnt need to be talked about*#'room tour' video and it's just like 'yeah I sleep on this mat under a bunch of trees uh.. over here by these rocks. at least right now. I#kind of wander around a bit. so'#Like a clothing haul but it's a potions shop haul or something and they ramble about some obscure drama in the potions community and how the#y hard to barter and steal and entire flock of sheep or something just to get one of them. etc. etc.#I could do ones for different characters too like. multiple people from different walks of life showing what they carry around with them.#just like this but more interview sort of vlog format instead of photos#This is where not having much money and not having my own house with land becomes an issue though#I think it would take you out of the illusion if the background was always the same. I can make small sets because there's one blank wall in#a room that it's easy to move all the stuff away from in front of and clear a spot and like hang up fabrics or whatever but still.. hmms#So one of those 'fun idea but dubious about handling the execution' things. also One Of Those Things where without looking it up you're 100%#sure it's already been done and you don't want to look weird since it's vaguely niche. Like if 100 people have done something it's fine but#if only like 3 other people have then you look weird maybe ghhjbj.. or only one other person gods forbid. looks even weirder potentially#Or do people not care about ''copying'' anymore?? idk. I'm not updated with the internet's changing culture. I just have a fear of accidenta#lly doing something like that and then people getting mad even though it's really just that I competely had no idea it had been done because#again.. I live under a rock and am unaware of everything lol. ANYWAY. also would require my face being on video which I don't like. Though I#would be in costume so that helps. I think to be fully comfortable I'd need light modifications to make my face look different. which isn't#hard but is more effort when it has to be translatable in multiple angles. ANYWAY. ghjbhj... Now I think it would be funny actually. maybe#one day. I haven't made any videos (aside from on the gameplay/sims channel) in a long long time actually. hmm'st

In the mid-1980s, animated adaptations of arcade games were commonplace— for example, Hanna Barbera's Pac-Man or Saturday Supercade's Q*Bert. Both of these shows, for lack of a better term, 'Americanize' the designs of the titular characters, so I got to thinking...
"What would a mid-1980s cartoon based off Rascal look like?"
Seeing as I've had prior experience in drawing faux animation cels, I decided to put that talent to the test and whip up not only a cel drawing but also a painted background for a scene for a hypothetical 1985 Rascal cartoon! 🍬🧡💙🧡🍬
(You can get a print of both the standalone cel as well as the cel overlaid on top of the painted background over on my RedBubble store!)

I don't think it's okay to use nightow's artwork to make yourself some money selling stickers of it.
While funny edits and memes of official content are commonly made and sold by creators and I understand it is a topic of debate for many reasons, as I say in the post and on the page, it isn't about the money and I think I'd have to sell hundreds to even make much profit! I did a lot of calculations and the price is close to the supplies/costs/the size of the small print run/etc., and while I'm not the best at math, the cents leftover per sticker aren't adding up to much and--again, like I said in the post--will be spent getting leftovers in case of errors if it's enough. If someone chooses to leave a tip for running bookclub, I'm grateful, but a vast majority of people don't and that's fine and what I expect. The point is having fun and celebrating bookclub! The amount of people who wanted a sticker/badge of completion was enough that I really wanted to do something for you guys.
TL;DR: As I said in the original post, this was designed for fun, not money. Transparency is personally very important to me and I try to be as honest as I can whenever possible. Of course, I'm a stranger on the internet, you should take that with a grain of salt, but I do try to be clear about my intentions.

I'm going to be really sad about losing a bunch of my art supplies/pieces so if that's not your thing, feel free to scroll by.
Nothing like going out to the garage to get some wood for your upcoming projects only to find there had been a leak, water pooled on the floor beneath the boxes in your work area, and had ruined a bunch of the wood you'd been painstakingly collecting for carving for years.
The irony: most of the wood that was ok? Common basswood that's easily replaced. It was mostly my rarer woods that were ruined.
Cherry, maple, walnut, cedar, buckeye. Woods with beautiful grains. Precious butternut that's going extinct. Gifts from my wood carving teacher and mystery wood castoffs from other woodworkers who didn't need them. Odd shapes and pieces I had plans for. Gone. Everything in this pic, from what's inside the box to what's in the can (some of which can't be seen) had to be tossed due to mold from the water damage. You can't put a price on this wood emotionally. I literally just want to cry. Fucking years, some of them already partly carved and I just hadn't had time to finish them since moving here.
The only silver lining I can think of is that I have another box of wood in the house, with some rarer woods in it. But this still really, really hurts.

i wish there was a space for actual adults within this fandom. i guess i will have to create it, even if it's just me and other five people and a shoelace. i wonder how this whole thing is gonna develop!
#personal#the entire internet but also this fandom specifically is infested with ppl whose reading comprehension is lower than a 6th grader's#can't a gal enjoy a middle-aged actress without being pestered by toddlers with pitchforks#and i know i'm the pettiest bitch but i am ANNOYED esp when i see how old these ppl are. if you're over 25 you have no excuse daskjfhg#like i have cut my audience in half at least! if not more with this fic#but i'm happy bc i'm producing content i wanna produce#i wonder how my new fics are gonna be received#after i finish “particular” i have another thing coming up that ppl probs won't like lol#but i think it's important i post it#and then we have murder mysteries and gothic horror and wooooo you know#it's gonna be fun! and a bit disturbing!#wonder if imma be dragged on twitter again lol#but i sincerely hope no one will care lol#honestly i never expected ppl to care THAT much but i guess they did#it also annoys me that a concerningly small amount seems to care abt the actual quality of writing#and i'm over here agonising about Stylistic Choices(TM) lol#i feel like it flies over ppl's heads and they just wanna read abt larissa weems fucking them with a shapeshifted dick#which okay i guess but also what abt Literature#you could do smth creative with a shapeshifting character just saying. and include your magic cocks or whatever tf you're into#ah i am fuming in vain i will just write my lil fics and hope i don't get a new influx of kys messages lol

#i was looking through old photos today. they where from wjen i was like 1 and it made me so sad#bc my mum would have been like only a year or 2 older then i am now and she looked so young#and now she has an abdomen full of tumors and blistered hands and feet. theyre prob gonna hsve to remove her bladder#but shes still very pragmatic abt it. but she grew up in a house where no one really cared about her feelings so she made them small#and now her mother calls and doesn't ask how her grandkids are doing and doesn't ask how her daughter is doing. im cursed with terrible#grandparents on both sides but i resent my mothers mother worse. though my dad said i probably wouldnt have survived his upbringing#and hes right. my nana has like zero empathy and cant cook for shit. idk how my parents r so normal but the fact i had a good upbringing is#probably the only reason im still here. and thats the other thing that made me sad abt the old pics. just looking at this little baby with a#fucked up head and thinking: in 25 years that kid is gonna b so broken down their not gonns kno what to do or how to fix it. idk whats wrong#with me. ive always been some stage of miserable but i used to b able to get things done. and now i cant seem to force functionality#and it sucks. bc im home now and i still feel like im cringing around this open wound in my chest. but whatever#as of today ive started taking ab1lify. hopefully it helps in the long term but in the short term it triggers my 0cd. which is not fun#its so frustrating. whatever. i also found out my eyes used to not work together. not enough to have a lazy eye but it was hard for me to#read and apparently my eyes were tracking at like double the speed of a normal person. wtf is wrong with my brain? also also my mum was like#yea i never would have guessed bip0lar but we thought it was something. autism i could see 100% but yea didnt see that coming. ao i guess#i brehave like a bit of an oddball. ans my nana would bother my dad to try to make me participate in church and my dad was like no. she#clearly don't wanna b here lol. ay. they did the best they could which i appreciate#unrelated

Everyone has been so mean to Corunir and Golodir lately and I loaded up RangerCamp so I could just hang out and watch them vibe and chill and have a nice time.
Then I spawned in 12 bandit chiefs and for some reason they all had the ice spike spell which instantly crashed my game.
#rangercamp#fallout new vegas is doing that thing where when i open it it instantly minimizes itself#i dont remember how i fixed that with skyrim so. le siiiiiiigh#anyway lothrandir did not eat at his scheduled mealtime#radanir did tho so theres that#i need to add eating sleeping and patrol routines for corunir and golodir#i need to add it other assorted routines so they will all mingle a bit more; right now corunir and golodir just kind of hang out alone#radanir comes up here occasionally but the others do not#i wonder if i can expand the sandboxing area? although i think its the presence of stairs that is keeping them from moving#because i specifically positioned corunir in such a way that the stuff in the lower camp would be in his sandboxing range#and yet he doesnt go down there#stairs :shakefist:#the navmesh is fixed tho and what a weight off my shoulders#anyway i added in a thing where if your health is under 50% candaith will have a special greeting where he advises you to sit down#demonstrating you know a reasonable amount of concern for what 50% health actually entails#unfortunately this line also triggers if you are under 5% health and its sort of ridiculous then#so. idk how to fix that. i could add another condition to the line#i could add a different line that triggers if youre under 10% and set its priority higher#i think i tried to do that actually but it didnt work because i was trying to add a scripted event to it#where like once a day if you triggered the line he would give you a small health potion or something?#anyway scripting in skyrim is horrible and i hate it and all the tutorials out there SUCK#so. i might have to put all this on hold while i do a damn scripting tutorial from the beginning#because no one will just explain how to make npcs hand you things#its all 'were going to learn how to make notifications pop up onscreen and make text boxes!'#why would i want that. skyrim modding tutorial authors#why would i want to do that

the amount of time i spend thinking about Even carrying the metacrisis doctor’s fob watch is really quite disproportionate to how much ive fleshed out that part of the story in my head
#i still find myself not caring if the metacrisis doctor couldnt use one. he can because i said so and because donna shouldn’t get amnesiaed#alone.#but anyway. even. its just something about like.#here is your best friend. the man who showed you how big the universe could be. its still him human or not. its still the doctor.#can’t call him that. have to watch your tongue always because no matter how familiar their faces are. these two people do not remember#everything you did together and never can. at least they still love each other. nothing could change that. that’s what matters. you steer#them into each other’s lives so carefully and watch to see if they’re going to get hurt. but they don’t. it’s okay.#and still. and still. you carry your best friend’s life. everything that he is. you can hold it in the palm of your hand. he gave it to you.#he entrusted it to you. well. that’s not entirely true. technically you volunteered. but how else could you say thank you.#you made your world so so small again. for him. larger than you would’ve been used to once but you know what galaxies feel like to fly#across. and now you’re stuck in time and space. this is for love too. this is for the life you hold in your hands.#or wear around your neck on a chain. and because you chose this. you can never see him again. or you see him every day and he doesn’t#recognize all of you.#that would make anyone desperate wouldn’t it? make you do something stupid. make you turn to someone you shouldn’t.#even makes bad choices when they are cornered. i think.#dw oc#the important bit is of course that the only way they can ever get rid of it is by their own choice. which they never would choose to do.#(because tentoo won’t take it back. he’s his own person. impressions of the doctor influencing him. but the part of him that is donna doing#so as well. a whole new person. who does not want her memories back and to be unmade.)#but the point is that the moment even takes it. they will never let it go. they will lose it. on painful occasion. but it always finds its#way back. depending on the context this presence and responsibility is either comforting in its constancy.#or. in a less kind world. a horrifying reminder of how far they have fallen from who they tried to be for him.

Going to preface this by saying I love Tailor Astarion, these are just some thoughts I'm having tonight
I don't think Astarion would be able to make garments, beyond eying something he owns and replicating it. I think embroidery served a purpose and it was an outlet that took up minimal space, plus easier to store in a chest. The room the...less favored Spawn share isn't that large. It would just feel smaller as more spawn were introduced to their corner of hell.
It's also one of those cases where I'm not certain if he would genuinely enjoy the craft or not, since it less seems a skill developed with love and more like a necessary skill. It doesn't seem he cares as much for it if he's adventuring (based on his doublet having paint instead of embroidery at the epilogue party), but that also checks out for needing a break from something you did that you enjoyed while in a traumatic situation bc it reminds you of that trauma when you try to get back to it.
But he absolutely knows he is not your guy for anything complicated but would want to pull an Emperor's New Clothes situation for anyone who tried to make him do work for them
#bat plays bg3#i mean i learned to sew in a tiny space hunched over a box that my sewing machine was on#but it's a lot of storage space and hard to hide stuff#and even if youre hand sewing#the project cant just be wadded up and thrown somewhere if you want it to turn out nice#and i am leaning towards thinking Caz wouldnt approve of them having creative outlets at all#like he just seems like he would want them to devote their every waking moment to him#and that just isnt realistic so they can like#hide journals and embroidery and small sketchbooks or other things#like they're severely limited to things they can easily store/hide#so like embroidery served a purpose and was a bit of an outlet that could be hidden and could be explained as serving a purpose by making#him more appealing to potential marks#idk why im thinking abt this so much but here we are#i also imagine cazador had strict control over what skills he allowed them to develop freely#and it was best to either make those skills useful so he didnt impose restrictions OR#keep those skills hidden#and that thought is based specifically on him forbidding the spawn from learning about certain subjects#like you have life eternal and nothing but time to absorb all the knowledge in the world#but this asshat puts these restrictions out#even tho your entire existence is tied to the fact that you cannot harm him or betray him in any way ever#like this would only benefit him#the hubris#but also like if they're a NOBLE family#the things he would look down on as being beneath them#having so many feels in the club tonight#also astarion is allergic to work

We could not have known that Unicron was capable of creating life, and neither did we anticipate to encounter that life; the reality of its misery was far less of a surprise. Its armor was far denser and more plentiful than Unicron’s own, and though he bore no visible scars it was obvious that his creator had been beyond unkind with him. Frequently he was plagued with nightmares and would go for ages without sleep to avoid them, and even in his waking hours he often broke down crying for no reason we could discern. Even his own reflection would send him into a panic until he’d carved a crook into his horn.
We brought him to Cybertron as what we believed to be a path to some sort of redemption and healing, but he was so unlike us Primes, and many of those differences could not be rectified. We thought we were granting him an act of mercy, but in the end I wonder if we had done him a great disservice, for in our ambition we proved to him that he was not unique, but alone.
