Gaming Dice.

This is SUCH a fun ask thank you for sending it. I had to ponder this deeply...

That being said. Absolutely the winner for strangest and most useless is this absolute gem. What words of wisdom... Who is this for. What does this mean. I don't think we'll ever know.

Next up! Technically ☝️this isn't in my collection anymore because a friend claimed it at a sticker sorting party but Flea-Wee Vermin still haunts my nightmares. (It gets better/worse the longer you look at it.)

Then of course we have the "normal at a first glance" stickers. Then you glance twice. And you ask Questions. I go on a whole rant about the middle sticker here.

As the last category: my oldest brother and I have. Very little in common. But he understands that I like stickers, and he enjoys a good sticker as well. It's just our definition of a good sticker is very different. So he sends me stuff like this. (Likely because his main use for stickers is to decorate his gun collection). He is the only person I know that fits the "guns + stickers" niche, though. I have no use for these 😭.

But to his credit, sometimes my brother hits gold. Like this John Wick sticker.

I'm sure I have more, but these are the ones I immediately thought of. The world of stickers is vast and weird and beautiful. It's good to stay humble.

A youth discovers he has butterfly wings. Les Belles images. November 28, 1912.

This piece has been rotting in my art folder for months now and I finally figured out how I Wanted to color/render Dinraal.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you see one on the street,

For decorum is essential when a lobster you must greet.

You may comment on the weather, compliment his choice of hat,

But crustaceans like their space if one should stop them for a chat.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you’re strolling down the coast,

Simply nod and give a greeting, or a handshake at the most,

For a lobster’s first priority is formal social graces,

And one seemes over-familiar if a lobster one embraces.

Don’t ever hug a lobster when you meet one in the sea,

For a lobster’s spines and chitin make it difficult, you see,

And he might become self-conscious if you bring that fact to light,

And they are dressed in such an indecent way that that which everyone ought to be most ashamed to show is what they show all the time to those who want to look, for they cannot refrain from showing their backsides to whoever wants to see them.

He was in fact talking about armor!

And one has seen many of those thus constricted who have to take off their armor in a great hurry, for they could no longer bear to wear their equipment; and there are others who have been quickly seized, for they could not do what they should have done because they were handicapped by being thus constricted; and many have died inside their armor for the same reason, that they could put up little defense.

Like this. And it’s beautiful. It’s beautiful to hear a soliloquy I loved so much already, and have it come to life in a way it never, ever, did before. I feel like I grasp his motivations, his twists and turns, no longer on an academic level but on a visceral, instinctive one. Because he’s presenting his mental and emotional journey in a way that speaks honestly, like a real person.

ja yleisön (eli erään ystävällisen anonin) pyynnöstä tänä vuonna on vuorossa sen totaalinen vastakohta

huonoin muumihahmo!

tällä leikkimielisellä äänestyksellä selvitämme, mikä muumitarinoissa esiintyvistä hahmoista on huonoin! mukana kaikki viime vuoden äänestykseen osallistuneet hahmot, mutta poikkeuksena viime vuoteen kaikki hahmot on arvottu (eli päähenkilöitä voi olla samoissa lohkoissa jo näin alkuvaiheessa). sekä lohkot että ensimmäisen kierroksen parit on arvottu wheel of names -onnenpyörällä, uusinta-arvontoja ei ole otettu

millä perusteella joku hahmo sitten on huonoin? voi olla, että hahmo vain on taustalla eikä tee mitään. voi olla, että kahdesta hahmosta tämä toinen vaan on huonompi. tai voi olla että hahmo X on vaan niin saamarin vituttava. perusteita on monia ja mielelläni kuulen nämä perusteet xD nyt saa valittaa hahmoista niin paljon kuin sielu sietää! nyt saa olla vihaaja!

kukin äänestys kestää kolme päivää ensimmäisten kierrosten aikana ja myöhemmissä vaiheissa viikon. lohkoja on yhteensä kahdeksan ja julkaisen ne kaksi kokonaista lohkoa kerrallaan joka päivä suunnilleen samoihin aikoihin

tämänkin äänestyksen mahdollistivat @oocmuumit ja kuutin kujeet

kaikki äänestykset löytyvät tästä blogista tunnisteella #huonoin muumihahmo
