Oh Wow

lavender bones, stand atlantic.

i am SO glad you asked. here is an I Spy of all the stuff i can identify from my four years of living in a frat, going counterclockwise from the bottom left:

right off the bat we’ve got a can of Keystone Light on the table and Twisted Tea on the floor. the yellow thing on the table is a glass rod used to do dabs with, and the blue thing is the silicone tub they store their dabs in. the orange thing barely sticking out from behind the fast food cup (please let me know if you can identify the restaurant it’s from) is a vape battery.

here we have a regular-ass bong with a quartz banger stuck on it being used to do dabs out of. although this works, it is generally frowned upon; dab rigs tend to be much smaller than bongs and i will bet my left testicle that they’ve smoked tobacco through it at some point and didnt clean it. the black and purple thing to the right is another, much larger vape battery; the purple surface is the top face, and you can see the threaded hole to screw tanks into and the ring left behind by one.

moving along, we have unopened bottles of (apparently nice) vodka and bloody mary mix, which is fairly self-explanatory. the orange thing (which im assuming is what you thought was a sanding pad) is a bluetooth speaker. also note the can of butane to refill their dab torch (not shown) and the ashtray on the left side of the picture mostly covered by a random piece of green paper.

now we get to the meat of the hedonism. there are two glass pipes visible along with a shitload of ziplocs that presumably had weed in them at some point. there’s also a tray with a psychedelic pattern on it holding one of the pipes, a bic, and a nicely rolled conical joint. however, based on the RAW packaging on the floor, they didn’t roll it themselves; instead, they bought prerolled cones (which come in a conical package) and then stuffed it with weed. the cigarette butts on the ground indicate an ashtray spilled at some point and nobody cared enough to clean it, making mr. barefoot on the right foolhardy at best. the red grinder visible in the center of the frame is a 3-inch 4-piece Chromium Crusher.

the minifridge, microwave, and extra cups under the TV all indicate that the owner of this room probably has their shit together more than most of the rest of the house, which is why they’re hosting the Smash pickup tournament. i would also like to note the fact that they’re playing Smash on the Wii U but have a Wii power brick (indentifiable by the chamfer on the corner) and an Xbox One also visible in the shot. also there is an inflatable palm tree.

The first run was five hardbacks of progressively increasing girth. The stack is hefty, but the books are comfortable. Each chapter has chapter art too, which I consider a plus in all fantasy books.

I still think the 5-volume split was the best option.  It’s a big damn story.

Original Fallout Equestria was written by someone known as Kkat who I’m 90% sure is a woman and the story only has some PG-13ish scenes at worst (you know, aside from the violence and gore that comes with a Fallout setting.) Project Horizons was written by a guy known as Somber, who I remember him mentioning in the post-chapter notes that he got fired for failing the wrong student once and the fic itself includes multiple explicit sex scenes.
