idk anything about Rusty Quill gaming, but i love the sound of "Stone Call For You". 80's mall girl gnomes... how far off am I? What is SCFY really about? :)

ok lol, there technically IS a female gnome but only as a canon character in the background.

the set up for this one takes a minute to explain. in rqg (dnd show), one of the characters gets trapped in the past while the rest of the party continues in the present. right after she got trapped one of the other players was like wait did she still have the other stone of sending (nicknamed as mobile stones; this is the pun im continuing in the title) and could we call her through time to try and organize her rescue? and the canon answer is no, she'd given it to another character the previous episode. so SCFY is a what-if where she did have the stone and it works......one-way, only forwards in time, basically leaving voicemails for her teammates that lost her both yesterday and 2000 years ago.

ill be completely honest, the reason its still sitting in my wip pile is theme of grief/loss too strong, made myself too sad👍the funny thing is it DOES have a happy(/bittersweet) ending planned, i just need to get to it.

i love your tiny Jopson!! do you take commissions? or have dollmaking-tutorials somewhere? or even a direction to point tryers-outers in? (Sally Mavor, perhaps?) Thank u for your time! <3

I’m so glad you like him!  Commissions aren’t really an option for me right now, and the closest thing I have to a tutorial is this, which is more about my more complex clay dolls, but if there’s interest I might make another one?

I’m still fixated on how it was so different it may as well have been an original story and half my problems with it would go away, but they just slapped the title on there to make a buck off the name recognition.

My grandma has always been-literally-the black sheep of the family. What photos we've found of her family all show the same dark curly hair and swarthy complexion, & as children, my uncles were taunted for "looking Jewish". We initially suspected North African or even Aborigine Australian heritage but recently we stumbled across headstones of her family buried in Jewish cemeteries! Her family all had distinctly Polish/German/Ashkenazic-sounding surnames, which was our first clue, (part 1)

(part 2) coupled with very strong Hebrew given names. Then we found the immigration records from Germany. In England they lived in what was then the Jewish ghetto and her parents converted to Protestantism as adults, hence the lack of Church records prior. We’re in America now so we can’t search the physical synagogue records & when we raise the matter with her she clams up. I don’t believe she was aware that her parents were converts and she’s now a very devout Christian, so I think the (contd)

(pt 3) topic makes her uncomfortable. She and her sisters mostly weren’t raised by their parents so I’m not sure what she would know anyway. We suspect her parents converted out of fear of antisemitism-if they were Jewish at all, that is. The records only go as far back as their arrival in Leeds from Germany in the 1880s. Do you have any advice on tracing my family tree? How can I be definite if they were Jewish? I’m not looking to make aliyah or anything, I just want the truth about my family.

Would anyone be able to help anon?

I heard that FamilySearch (a Mormon website) has a lot of information on tons of people, but I’m not sure how they choose their targets in order to put them on record, but maybe it’s a possibility to check out if they’d have information on anyone in your family tree and go from there? I’m really bad at this, hope other people can be of better help than me. Edit: blunderpuff said: 

There's a Facebook group called "Tracing The Tribe" that has a bunch of smart genealogy-minded people. Sometimes people on that group have hit dead-ends on their own families (thanks, Russian Empire 1890!), so they might jump at the chance to help go through yours, especially since it sounds like you've got some decent information already.

blunderpuff replied to your post “Watching Schitt's Creek”

i only watched it bc Tim Rozon was in it, but then it was just SO GOOD???? The sibling dynamic between David and Alexis is so incredibly authentic. It's great!! I'm glad you're watching it!!! :D (Tim Rozon is Doc Holliday in Wynona Earp.) (Then I was delighted that Dustin Milligan is also in it! He's Hugo Friedkin from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. If you haven't seen it, pls do.) <3

OK, so I HAVE watched Dirk Gently and I have always wondered what Wyonna Earp was because my feed was fiiiiilllled with it for a while. I was super excited to see the actress who played the evil corporate lady in s1 of Slings and Arrows show up as the modestly evil younger sister too.

i don't watch the olympics because they make it SO HARD to watch!!! not only do the commentators TALK THROUGH EVERYTHING, but the schedule is all over the place, and they don't show everything :(

Yeah, I mean I get that they can’t show everything. There is just too much. But it was all over the place. They needed to publish a good schedule of what time each event would air so the audience didn’t have to sit through hours of cross country skiing to get to the good stuff (no offense to anyone who loves cross country skiing LOL).

blunderpuff replied to your post: petition for a remake of hannibal and elementary...

subtitles are a godsend. at this point in my life, if it doesn’t have subtitles or closed caption, i’m not going to watch it :

i know right? the only thing is i tend to do at LEAST two other things while watching, which isn’t really great for using subs or actually paying attention to the television at all.
