The diagram for the classic Origami Goat, with a twist to make its horns curve ! It's from this video by by Origami Word, but it seems to be a pretty old/intemporal design that a lot of people have made. I could not find a diagram online so I made one.

(If you make her in yellow/orangy-yellow, then decorate her with red ribbons, you can make your own origami gävlebocken ! )

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

Commission for @redheadrecon and @cuddlyplaguedoctor featuring SOME GOOBERS who are totally not spoofing on the SPN promo picture. You know, that one.

I love them all your honor

Eagle quirked an eyebrow at the question. It didn't take the redhead but a second to flip a flask out of a pocket in her vest. She held it out as if to say of course.

"Whiskey alright?" She responded, wiggling the flask. It was probably about half-full from the sound. "Or would you prefer a smoke?" She added, flourishing a battered package out from behind the flask like a dealer showing cards.

[courier2lw]

He chuckled at Eagle's display of performance and winced on his way to lean over for the flask. He adjusted to a more comfortable position again and unscrewed it, obviously satisfied with just this. After a swig, he looked around, screwing the cap back on and picked up a pan, setting the flask in it so it wouldn't get dirty as he used his rifle butt to slide it back over to Eagle.

"Can't smoke anymore. My lungs are too fucked. Also, it's, like, super bad for you, did you know that?" West was a doctor, but only recently had he come across a medical journal on the harmful effects of carcinogens. It made a lot of sense, but it was strange how little he had to study in the Vault, medically speaking. He was remembering a lot more that he had learned over the years, unfortunately unable to remember when or how he'd learned certain things. Or they were unhelpful memories.

[redheadrecon]

Eagle would have sighed if it had been of use to do. Instead, she grabbed the flask from the pan. The pan was set back within reach in case West had more things to send her way. The soldier grimaced. She plucked a cigarette out of the pack and tucked both items back into her vest.

"Yeah. I do," She replied around the unlit cancer stick. "But so is everything else we do out here." Eagle grabbed a twig from edge the fire to light her choice of vice with. The wispy smoke of burnt wood mixed with the scent of tobacco.

"Besides, I'll probably die before it matters." She said. The twig was discarded back into the flames. "Just how it is." The matter-of-fact tone was punctuated with a puff of smoke.

“Then maybe you should keep it working by having it maybe not take us into trouble like that again.” The soldier chided softly. She would continue to be a shithead under normal circumstances but these weren’t normal circumstances.

This was more like combat circumstances. There was a time and place for that much later.

“Nah, I’ll stay up for a bit. Still jittery.” Eagle said. “Thanks, though.”

“Yeah. Same.” West shifted just a little, wincing in pain as his injured leg didn’t move with him. He’d stabbed himself with at least three stimpaks. That fucking flaming chainsaw damn near took his leg off. He was almost certain he’d still be walking with a limp after this for a while…

“You don’t have any booze on ya by chance?” West asked before using the butt of his rifle to turn the spit from where he sat.

so some news about AI. It seems Discord is apparently just. going to unconsentually add Clyde AI to servers in a slow roll out. The way they are doing this is rather than how we initially suspected he would show up as an option via the integrations tab on server settings, it appears that he is apparently being added into servers as a user who is part of the server that the admin would have to manually kick. He cannot be banned, but we can kick him repeatedly. The issue is it's unclear if there will be a greeting message for when Clyde arrives into servers and he will attempt to infiltrate again and again. Small servers this is easy to spot, big servers this is an obvious issue of sifting through who is in your server.

if you see this man in your server kill him

[remythelad]

Important to note this has only been seen so far in a friend server and I have only seen it in one server so far. Community servers might be different it is simply something we do not know yet.

[remythelad]

What this article covers:  What is Clyde? How to set up Clyde Chatting with Clyde Considerations Frequently Asked Questions Note: This fea

Here is an article from Discord about this thag updated about an hour ago

Aside from that I was able to go into permissions and make it so nobody in my server could interact with Clyde. I still do not know what information Clyde and by extension OpenAI has from what it might have taken from my server to “make Clyde better” there was no warning and no message despite how discord had pitched this. It says in this article that it will notify users but Discord did not do that at all.

Fuck AI

[remythelad]

Another update! You can only kick Clyde in mobile if you are a server mod and you have to go through server settings and then members and click on clyde and then block!

[mun-auroralore]

If you want to let Discord know how bad this is, go to their feedback page and post a topic.

I already did, myself.

This has to violate some privacy laws- and definitely some copyright laws if the bot learns from writers- not to mention EULA laws.

Regardless, go yell at Discord to not do something that opens them up to a wide range of lawsuits.

[mun-auroralore]

The workaround for banning the bot doesn't work anymore, but thanks to a reddit user, banning it via number ID DOES work, and I tested it myself to be sure!

Happy Bot Hunting, everyone!

"SURVIVING"

[fluffiest-fox-kira]

Oh this isnt normal, huh

[shithowdy]

"i'm not triggered or upset by or even ideologically opposed to it, i just associate it with something so bad that i can't enjoy it anymore" is such a frustrating relationship to have with a piece of media

[shithowdy]

it’s covered in the fucking ooze!!

[redheadrecon]

Eagle pursed her lips. She considered what to say carefully. The memory of his town and family, his community, was cherished. She didn't want to come across as rude, but still wanted to acknowledge what was said.

"I think most people 'out here' haven't had the kind of... access to books as you did." Eagle settled on, finally. The words that seemed to stick to her tongue came loose bit by bit. "An entire library is something that we more associate with the Followers. I wish I could've seen your town's library."

Bear's dedication to his hometown had Eagle in awe every day they had been out in remote reaches. He had insisted to do many things himself, but she had been nearby on the days that were too much. Maybe it was part of the poetic nature of what he'd said. Doing things with purpose. Being a friend.

"You're welcome." She replied. Eagle wasn't much for words but when she spoke those two, they were genuine.

[standingxbear]

Bear had his days where the grief was too much. And for so long he thought he was 'over' such things. He mourned people he had mourned years ago, all over again. He mourned the town he once loved and taken for granted. He mourned his family, the sisters he lost and the infants that had been snatched from his mother's arms and murdered in front of them all. Mom hadn't lasted much longer after that.

Those were days he kept far away from Eagle, left her a note, and screamed and howled and cried into the empty desert.

It was some times too hard to navigate that grief and the need for reflection and nostalgia. Building the town back up, between the two of them... Standing Bear didn't know what was left to do. Would staying here even be worth it?

"We should travel soon... There-- at least there was a ghoul community not too far from here. I have friends there. We should not be turned away at any rate."

[redheadrecon]

On the days when Bear had vanished, Eagle had quietly waited up at a high point where she could oversee the ghost town. Those were the days where she silently mourned in her own way. It was a vigil for the memories here and the ones she'd left scattered to the wind. Nobody knew about it, and so it was yet another secret, another card carried close to the vest.

When it finally came time to leave, Eagle gave the town a last glance. She nodded at it in thanks.

"Alright. Whenever you're ready."

Awoo~~~!

Your lovely fluffy boy, Kairon, was a joy to draw. Thanks Kaita!
