[fuckaspunk]

as a librarian, i can't encourage you enough to check out stuff you don't think you'll get around to reading

like other institutions, at the end of the day we have to use numbers to justify our existence and inform our financial decisions

check out that novel by that author you like even if you know there's no time to finish it. check out a movie you like even if you can't watch it. check out a sewing machine even if you don't have time for a project. we don't check if you finish anything, and it all adds up

support your local library by checking out things you don't need

“PBJ & Jar of Milk” me, oil, 2022

[rabbitindisguise]

It completely blows my mind we still have oil painters. It feels like the height of luxury to have the joys of impressionism, modern art movements, and then people doing this the same as they ever were, making paintings that could be taken out of an art history textbook if you forget for a moment that mason jars might not have looked exactly like that

[lemonsharks]

OP this is the sexiest work I have seen in the form of oil, please accept my desire to gnaw fondly upon your canvas like a wild beast as the compliment it is

I’m gonna start an ice cream shop specifically for all of the people who say gender is binary or make that “but nonbinary and binary is still a binary lol” joke

This ice cream shop will sell two flavors: vanilla and not vanilla

“What’s not vanilla?” I’m glad you asked, because I can assure you, it’s not vanilla

“But not vanilla could be a lot of things” oh you mean like how nonbinary could be a lot of things?

IT’S ALMOST LIKE BREAKING STUFF INTO TWO ARBITRARY CATEGORIES DOESN’T ACTUALLY MAKE IT A CHOICE BETWEEN TWO THINGS OR SOMETHING???

[boigameista]

i dont think i posted these but here i made a little frog pattern to make tiny frog toys with my grandma

this is the first lil guy I made while still learning how i should sew it

[boigameista]

AAA ok so a lot of people have been asking for the pattern to this, tho I’ve been using just these two little papers to do the cut outs lol

i tried my best to translate it into digital so that people get a bit more accurate look at them. Tho bear with me I’ve never done an actual pattern design sheet before!

so basically my hope is that anyone could print these out to any size of their choosing and get the same result, but ive never tried anything larger than approx. 3 inches with these sooo idk if you try it tag me!

the goal is to sew the backs together to the lines at the tip of the head to the middle of the butt. then leaving a space along the belly piece near the butt end and sewing from one side of the butt including all the legs and the “mouth” to the other side with its legs to get back to the butt. if that makes sense

i usually pause sewing up the body once the head is fully sewn together,, usually after ive sewn both arms and ill yank it inside out where ill start sewing on the little poofball eyes so i know theyre in a good place, then resuming the body, and then pulling the whole thing inside out and pushing out the tips of the limbs with a skinny blunt object like a dull pencil until i can see the stitches. if you attempt this piece definitely make sure you stitch up the arm and leg crevices very well!!!!

then just stuff the lad and sew up his back end and its done :)

one suggestion for fabric is always try to use a stretchy soft fleecy fabric with these because its much easier if mistakes are made during sewing and to hold the ROUND shape better

Overall its a very good use of scraps if you’ve accumulated a lot and don’t know what to do with them 👍👍

So I made a frog (huge)

[boigameista]

I literally can’t I’m losing my mind over the sheer girth of this frog.

Absolutely incredible.

[ID: A painting of a beach, with emerald-green water and gentle waves lapping up onto the sand; strolling around on the sand are a handful of domestic cats, and there are more walking out of the surf. Some are fairly far out in the water, implying that the cats are emerging from the water like Aphrodite, as an origin story.]

Oh I do appreciate that, what a fun image :D (my immediate thought was “this is definitely a mural Ephraim has painted for some weird hippie cat lady in Fons-Askaz”.)

Human: Deal.

Fey: Very well. When you return home tonight, your mother will be in pristine health again. It will be like she never fell ill at all. Even the memory of her suffering will fade…

Human: Thank you so much. She means everything to me.

Fey: I know, I know. Let’s hope the price wasn’t too much for you after all… Only time will tell.

Human: So, when do we start?

Fey: …If I may ask you to elaborate?

Human: You said you wanted my firstborn.

Fey: Yes? And you agreed?

Human: Yeah, so, when do we start?

Fey:

Fey, blushing: Ah.

A city where necromancy is legal and actually a part of every day society. So long as you follow a specific set of laws to make it seem a bit more ethical, you’re allowed to use it to do anything from helping you in a fight, to helping you run your business. In fact, there are entire shops or restaurants where the staff are undead. Laws to handle the undead could be things like:

• The corpses used cannot have flesh on them for sanitary reasons, especially in the case of businesses. Those who raise undead who are more than just bone will face a fine dependent on their situation.

• Similar to how people can donate their bodies to science, or donate their organs to those in need, people can choose to donate their bodies to necromancers before their death.

• If it is unknown if a person wished for their body to be donated after death, and they have been dead for 150+ years, you’re allowed to raise them. If next of kin is still alive, you must get permission from them first.

• You must take care of the undead in your charge. Keep them clean and unbroken. If one of them starts to get too much wear and tear, you are required by law to respectfully lay them back down to rest. Failure to do this will get you a hefty fine.

I’m making a town like this and the tavern will be called the Skelet-Inn

[probablyquestionablerpgideas]

Fucking brilliant

[firebirdeternal]

I mean, take it a step further, if you aren’t sure if someone would want their body used after their death, call them up and ask them. It’s less taxing to cast a Commune with Dead spell than to raise an active skeleton, and this way you know for sure whether they mind, so there’s no ethical ambiguity. 

Most local dead consider the idea of skeletal labor completely normal, so they tell the necromancer that they waive all rights to the corpse for public work purposes as a formality and then go back to their afterlife.

For private employ however it’s customary to pay a small stipend to either a living relative or a charity of the ghost’s choice in exchange for their corpse’s labor. 

[crazy-pages]

Due to the prevalence of public works done by skeletons, Necromancers are seen in much the same light as government functionaries. They’re stereotyped as mild mannered people who do an important service but are also really boring at parties.

[cactusrabbit-deactivated2019120]

Small skeletal animals are great pets for people with allergies and small children as they have no fur/dander and are quite sturdy and docile. They make great therapy animals as they require little training and seem ‘happier’ when given tasks to do. 

Human skeletons and the skeletons of larger animals are often seen following their masters around at market, holding baskets and bags and pushing carts. Some people dress them in seasonal outfits and accessories. It’s a point of pride to have a well-dressed, sparklingly clean skeletal helper.

[sirblackaxe]

I’d imagine painting the skeletons would be extremely popular!

Some sturdy waterproof paint requires less upkeep than clothing - you can still clean them by hosing them down, and don’t need to worry about changing or wear-and-tear on their clothes.

Stencils you get buried with will last much longer than clothes, especially if you make them out of proper materials. You can emboss them with color and placement instructions too. (On a similar note, I would expect death or funeral masks to also be prevelant.)

Goverments and organizations would have simple and distinctive paint jobs, so their skeletons can stand out and be easily identified. Maybe with some rules about leaving a certian percentage of surface area or location for an ex-sapient skeleton’s personal use.

Use glow-in-the-dark paint for skeletons working at night for safety!

Painting your skelepet has a much lower barrier to entry than sewing or buying clothes for them. Give your kid some paints and let them go wild!
