I've been BAMBOOZLED

The responses, he said, were a mix of useful advice about feeling out your gender and useful advice about choosing a Linux distro.

Well, today these two things happened while he was at work:

his old glasses snapped in half at the nose bridge, and

Yes, but the alternative is him laying directly under my canvas and staring at me like this:

So instead we take turns, and since this is acrylic, I can wipe it off them with a damp towel if I catch it right away.

“I’m just going to pick up the boy from daycare and then it’s date night.”

And the lady says “Oh! How old is he?”

“He’s three.”

“Mine too! Where are you registering him for kindergarten it’s such a hassle-”

And that’s when I realized I said “boy” and not “dog” because I always think of Charlie as “good boy” but this slip up has lead to a miscommunication.

The lady is now 6 minutes into a clearly needed rant about how unnecessarily complex shopping for schools is, esp when you have a neurodivergent child, so I can’t just tell her that Charlie is a dog because then she’ll feel awkward for unloading on me and she clearly has enough going on.

“It really depends on who he’s with. He’s very quiet at he but won’t shut up if he’s at the park or has a friend over.”

“was it hard to potty-train him?”

“he’s adopted, but I was genuinely amazed at how good he already was with hygene and potty stuff.”

“mine’s just obsessed with paw patrol and Frozen, drives me crazy!”

“I imagine. Charlie is colorblind so he’s not as into tv, but he always wants a toy if I take him anywhere with them.”

“oh gosh the toys! And the kids are so rough on them!”

“yeah Charlie can destroy a stuffed animal in about 2 minutes, so I only buy him the really cheap ones.”

“Does he throw tantrums when they break?”

Astarion has a weakness for big adorable eyes and will never admit it. Gods forbid anyone catch him doing something nice!

This calls back a bit to Let Me Stay - despite Aldiirn's victory over the hag he's still not back at 100%. I also just love the idea of the owlbear cub being Astarion's fav... friends are not food but friend that brings food is best friend.

there are some cautions to sleeping with a technically wild animal.

Next comic we're finally getting to the Underdark wheeeeee :D
