My Filterable Picrew Database has MOVED!!

Courtney's home on the indie web.

i've updated the previous link as well, but just so y'all know, my filterable collection of picrew & other dollmakers has moved to my personal site!!!

the previous host, notion, had a few difficulties with filtering, namely the laborious process required to filter by multiple tags at once. this version doesn't have that issue!!!!

[id in alt]

check it out here!!!!!

important notes:

this database is curated to dollmakers that i like personally; as such, i do not take requests for new additions. i'll probably add it if you give me a link and all of the tags that should apply to it, though!

i also do not take requests for new tags, because this is all done by manually going through each maker and seeing which tags apply, and i do not want to do that. if you're willing to go through the backlog yourself and tell me every maker that needs a new tag, i'll add it and use it going forward, though.

if something is tagged wrong, i need to know which specific maker it is so i can fix it. you need to tell me! the most useful way to send me a specific maker is a direct link to it. sometimes i get vague comments like “there are makers in x tag that don’t fit” and no one EVER follows up with which ones they are so i can’t FIX IT.

the layout should function on mobile but, as of posting this (12/9/25), is not optimized for it—i'll fix it, i promise!

if there are issues, you can contact me via tumblr ask, or the comment box at the bottom of the page.

💖🍵 if this resource has been useful for you, consider sending me a small tip on ko-fi!!

please enjoy!!!

Magic doesn’t work in hardware stores since those places are made extremely rigid in form and function. The rules of reality are empowered in such places and forces of chaos like magic have trouble maintaining form

This is a tea checkpoint.

Is your tea getting cold?

Did you turn on your kettle and forget about it and now the water is cold again?

Is the tea bag still in?

Did you intend to start the tea making process and forget?

Congratulations! You remember now.

"chekhovs cat / schrödingers razor / occams gun"

Chekov's Cat: if you see a cat in the first act, it will probably be relevant later. (example: Alien)

Shrodinger's razor: an unopened box may or may not contain the solution to the story; there's no way to know without opening it. (example: Monk)

Occam's gun: the simplest way to kill off a character is to shoot them. (example: Bambi)

aegimeda

i have been cracking up at this for the past 3 minutes

jesticutioner

Chekov's Box: If there is a container introduced in the opening act, it will be opened later.

Schrodinger's Gun: Treat every gun as if it's loaded unless you've checked it yourself.

Occam's Cat: If you hear strange noises at night, it's probably a cat.

In case anyone finds it helpful because mobility aids are horrifically expensive and inaccessible…

And for those people who have access to mobility devices but might benefit from a second chair they can abuse without risking expensive damage…

Erik Kondo has made a website, Open Source Innovations, that details plans for DIY wheelchairs. These wheelchairs can be made from common materials like wood, plastic, and pvc. They are lightweight and can be custom fit to the user allowing from the same degree of movement you would get from a custom chair. And they are durable and easily repairable. (he has been stress testing his latest design by dropping it down stairs, dropping it out of a car, launching it across a driveway, and throwing it off a deck). Its 12lbs and I think he said its was in the $200 ish range for parts.

He also is working on cheap, open source, accessible designs for beach chairs, off road chairs, motorized attachments (think smart drive), and so on. Plus he skateboards in his wheelchair. Cool dude, helpful info, pass it on.

It's incredibly sad people have to resort to this, but it's a damn good resource. Use it. Spread awareness. Maybe one day people with physical disabilities won't need DIYs like this. But until then, reblog and share.

Am I the only person who thought this was really fucking funny

eleemosynecdoche

A lot of the really funny moments in Lord of the Rings come from Tolkien playing with language like this, where we have relatively formal, archaic, “high” language responded to with informal, modern, “low” language.

another hilarious example:

my absolute favorite example of tolkien switching registers in this way is

flagellant

to the uneducated it may seem like hobbits are the only funny bitches, and gandalf just picked it up from them.

to the learned, it is known that gandalf is the first ever funny bitch, and he has taught generations of hobbits every petty snark they’ve ever known because theyre the only motherfuckers who can keep up with him

my mom's in a pokemon go battle right now in the other room saying a whole shonen protagonist speech

wizardarchetypes

apparently there are tricks to cheat during battles and you can sometimes tell when your opponent is cheating and i just heard her say to her phone, verbatim, "why do you cheat? does it make you feel good? do you lack such esteem that false victory is good enough for you? fuck you. i'll go down fighting."

wizardarchetypes

she just started saying "die raichu die. die die die die. with your big smile, die"

and I said "mom I don't know if I like what this game brings out in you"

and she said, "what, would you want your mother to be some sort of loser in the leagues???"

#this would be my mom if she ever got into the battling in pkmn go

Si la migra aparecen en su puerta

no abras la puerta. Estate calmado. Usted tiene derechos.

Si piden entrar, pregunten si tienen una orden firmada por un juez.

Si dicen que lo tienen, piden verlo.

Una orden de administración de ICE (formulario 1-200, 1-205) no les permite entrar a su hogar sin su consentimiento.

Si no tienen una orden firmada por un juez, usted puede negarse a dejarlos entrar

Si se fuerzan, no resistan. Dile a todos en la residencia que permanezcan en silencio.

Si usted es arrestado, permanezca en silencio y no firme nada hasta que hable con un abogado.

Got a free bible from the street preachers today they were like are you trying to reconnect with god and I was like no… I just collect free bible… not very pleased with that answer unfortunately but I was already away…. Got em again… #win #hallelujah

parakeet

Just wanted to add that after this event as I was walking away I turned to a random page of said bible -and I remember it because I got made fun of by my crew for not being able to pronounce the chapter - and read a random passage, and it was as follows:

Ecclesiastes 9:7-

Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.
