No one ever tell me anything bad about the person who runs this account.

the person who runs this account, Katie Gouldin, is an evolutionary biologist who has an EXCELLENT podcast called Creature Feature which compares and contrasts the weird behaviors of man and beast! she is super cute and funny too!

Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget

[dateamonster]

you could never make me hate magitech/scifantasy settings. fantasy and scifi are two beuatiful women to me and they are kissing with tongue.

YOU WILL NOT REFER TO THE SKULL OF JUDGEMENT WITH HE/HIM PRONOUNS. SHE/HER IS ALLOWED BECAUSE WOMEN KICK ASS. EVERY OTHER PRONOUN IS ALSO FINE

Another time in my life is when I went underground caving during church camp. we were all young, dumb, and full of both Christ and bonfire tinfoil cooked vegetables. it was obviously time to let these middleschoolers fuck around in Tennessees beautiful complex caving system. armed only with the power of god, a headlamp helmet, and jeans duct taped to our sneakers.

when we got to the center of the cave, we had climed over 15 foot drops and squirmed through openings that my chubby little warrior of christ body could barely fit through.

in that cavern we lit candles, worshipped christ, and were then told that any one of us easily could have died and that it was only by God's love and grace that we had made it safely into the heart of the cave. knowing this, we then prayed to god that no one would be hurt on the way back and left

it was only when I was 26 or so that i curiously decided to look the camp up again, and ended up finding out that the cave was NOT located on any of Tennesses approved caving locations, and that the rope courses we were helping build "for God" were being sold on the camp owners alternative website where they sell extreme obstacle courses to companies for work retreats

anon I want you to know that I am always thinking about this

At last, my Disco Elysium school texture project I am very proud of! I decided to add Kim, Harry and the Kineema because of course I had to... I tried rigging characters for the first time and they look busted as fuck but I tried my best it will be better next time ❤️ If you understand the reference of the building's name comment a pregnant emoji.

słój ze śledziami, słój ze śledziami, w zalewie pływanie, dotykanie się płetwami, z cebulą zmieszane, poczuj skurwysynie śliskość, filet trze o filet, można urządzić łowisko

[nightwashh]

he has a name :(

[notgreengardens]

My cousin Throckmorton died?????

[hellenhighwater]

Gonna get myself a fun little surprise I guess

[hellenhighwater]

This is better than I'd ever hoped for, I bet a rat could kill you with that thing by firing a laser back in time and electrocuting your grandfather

Just look at this thing

[hellenhighwater]

The rat gun is hereeeeee!

[hellenhighwater]

This is getting notes again so I will admit that "rat gun" was an autocorrect error and it was supposed to be "ray gun."

But it'll always be a rat gun to me.

[hellenhighwater]

The most expensive thing in these pictures was the cat, and he was $60.

[hellenhighwater]

I'll be honest--I forgot that the pump organ desk/bar was visible in the background, and it was NOT under $60.

It was actually $75.

The chairs, however, were paid for in human life. I inherited them; they were originally my great grandmother's. But they're not particularly rare-- you can find these exact chairs without a lot of effort, in reasonable shape, for not that much money. They made a lot of them.

[theworsethingsgettheharderifight]

your gazelle has a pearl choker

[hellenhighwater]

That's Hadrian. He's a bush buck and he loves fashion.

[hellenhighwater]

Hi you asked this question and I immediately went to the pottery studio to make a calcifer to put in my woodstove.

Will update if he survives the kiln.

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

i am still on tenterhooks vis a vis calcifer 🥺🥺🥺

[hellenhighwater]

I just brought him home from the pottery studio and wired him for light. He lives!!!!!

[thebisexualwreckoning]

OP just wondering do you like have the closet to Narnia tucked in there somewhere?

[hellenhighwater]

Dude, c'mon, these things take time.

Give me a couple hours.

[hellenhighwater]

Okay!! We have doordrobe! It's not quite done but after nearly turning myself into an hellpancake while carrying this in from the garage to the house, I feel like I should call it a night.

Right now it's not going into a secret room (but the Angel of Death (And WiFi) behind it does have a secret compartment for my router? Does that count) but Malice and Vice are still exploring it like it's a whole new world.

The House of Horrors continues to be...well, exactly what it is.

[hellenhighwater]

Oh, no, all radioactive materials go in The Box.

[copp3rtop]

please explain. Do you actually have a lead lined box for radioactive objects, or are you just talking about the router behind the painting?

[hellenhighwater]

The Box.

[hellenhighwater]

Not people's teeth, no.

[chaoticgremlinmakingart]

Holy shit. This just keeps getting better and better. Absolutely marvelous house. What other treasures do you have in that house?

[hellenhighwater]

I recently got some very silly dishes and a telescope!

[hellenhighwater]

All of these accusations of witchcraft! As if the vibe in this house could be any more clearly Artificer.

[joy-and-whimsy-official]

Joy and whimsy detected! This house is joyful and whimsical!
