NANIIEBIM- HERE BE DEMONS

no its one of my fancy pencils :)

Working out what sort of clothing Lex might wear if she did join the preds.

casual/ armour underlayer and size/ weight adjusted armour (it's still be the clan special- but claws/ crampons are retractable using the same mech as other retractable weapons as she is more likely to get scratched up to hell/ climb a pred and scratch them up to hell.)

Keeping the icepicks.

ao3 doesn't have an app because for it to have an app, appstore will have to approve it first. and if, hypothetically, ao3 needs appstore to approve it, it will also have to abide by appstore's pro-censorship stance and start banning dark and taboo fics, which is against its own core principle of being completely against censorship.

ao3 doesn't need an app. it works more than fine without an app. the reason ao3 can allow dark and taboo fics, the reason it can allow the most disgusting and shockingly vile fics, and be completely against censorship is because it doesn't need appstore's approval. it stands on its own as a non-profit organization with functioning site and a team of lawyers protecting its platform, its users, and every single fanwork on its platform.

everybody say thank you ao3

Oh, just a heads up- one of the things i wanted to do for #theineffablecon was a prize with every draw sticker raffle- every draw is at least a pack of 4 large go stickers, but there's 3 chance of full sets of 20 stickers of the characters from s1. All the proceeds would then be donated to tic's charity.

(If you did my patreon a few years back, you'll be familiar with them!!)

Well. At least someone is enjoying the sun today.

Lucky's overenthusiastic flower to Lucky ratio always cracks me up.

Flint knife, Egypt, 4th millennium BC

From the story:

We repeatedly emphasized that we were aboard a small 8-meter sailboat, but the response was the same each time: "We are a 50-meter three-masted sailboat, and we offer our assistance in towing you to Paimpol." We were perplexed by the size difference between our two boats, as we feared being towed by a boat that was too large and at too fast a speed that could damage our boat. The arrival of the Götheborg on the scene was rapid and surprising, as we did not expect to see a merchant ship from the East India Company of the XVIII century. This moment was very strange, and we wondered if we were dreaming. Where were we? What time period was it? The Götheborg approached very close to us to throw the line and pass a large rope. The mooring went well, and our destinies were linked for very long hours, during which we shared the same radio frequency to communicate with each other. The crew of the Götheborg showed great professionalism and kindness towards us. They adapted their speed to the size of our boat and the weather conditions. We felt accompanied by very professional sailors. Every hour, the officer on duty of the Götheborg called us to ensure everything was going well.[...] This adventure, very real, was an incredible experience for us. We were extremely lucky to cross paths with the Götheborg by chance and especially to meet such a caring crew. Dear commander and crew of the Götheborg, your kindness, and generosity have shown that your ship is much more than just a boat. It embodies the noblest values of the sea, and we are honored to have had the chance to cross your path and benefit from your help.

Puerto Rican semi-slug, Gaeotis flavolineata, Amphibulimidae

Semi-slugs are land gastropods whose shells are too small to retract into, but are not quite vestigial (as with true slugs). The opaque green area seen in the middle of the body in the photos above is the shell.
