omg you watched the winter classic.

I feel like “watched” is putting it very strongly -- Mum loves it, so she was watching it and ordered me to put it on so I’d understand her text message play by play. I was very impressed with that one goal block that sent the puck flying into the stands, though.

Looks like is is very straightforward to do if your laptop supports it - https://windowsreport.com/cast-windows-10-roku/ (might also give you phone mirroring capability, i didn't read that far)

The phone isn’t a problem, since it has casting on most apps, but I couldn’t get the windows 10 to mirror to the roku -- it would start to connect and then fail about a third of the way into the progress bar. Finally I found out the problem was buried deep in the Advanced settings, so I did in fact get it to work this morning!

Next thing you know she'll be going on a Timmy's run real quick, you want something?

YES DEEBS, I WANT A BUTTER TART.

She did used to teleport as a kitten. She’d vanish for hours and I could only assume she was adventuring the globe.

So do I say this on Rosh HaShana too?

I mean, I don’t see why not! Isn’t it Adam and Eve’s birthday too, though? They might feel left out.

I think Deebs might need glasses, Sam.

True story, I used to do the same thing when I was a little kid because I was fascinated by how a picture from far off just became a series of colored bars if you got close enough. I think I still have a drawing I did trying to recreate the effect as a three-year-old.

Rooting for you, Sam! *aggressively sends good 2020 vibes*

Thank you! I’m doing my best!

But you see, your heart is filled to bursting with love for the cryptids which colors your life, so how could there not be prominent feelings in the reading. <3

IT’S JUST SO MANY FEELINGS.

I made my own 8 card spread up last night because it felt right and it was the most accurate reading I’ve ever had?

what were you reincarnated as?

That was interesting but didn’t make for such a snappy post -- it turns out, at least in my internal world, you aren’t reincarnated from birth, but rather from your first conscious memory, so I reincarnated as a two-year-old child. I guess the bombings didn’t have a permanent apocalyptic impact, because I was at a large family dinner and everyone seemed pretty happy, stable, and well-fed. That’s about when I woke up.

Jesh that's scary... Were the cryptids in the dream?

Not that I saw or thought about, but they go where I go, so they were probably around somewhere :D

jesus fucking christ sam I though there'd been another terrorst attack

Yeah, looking back I feel there’s probably some way I could have phrased that better...

Cedar shavings are no longer suggested as bedding for small mammals / rodents because phenols in the wood can damage the lungs and liver of the small mammal. Is an intact cedar wood lounge tree a similar potential health risk to cats?

I don’t think so -- the issue with the phenols for cats is that they have to be ingested, and usually in pretty high concentrations. There’s a lot of discussion of not using cedar oils (a natural flea repellant) on cats because they can lick it off and get sick, but as long as the Cryptids don’t chew on the tree (which they don’t seem inclined to do, they much prefer to chew on plastic bags) they should be fine. 

Also cedar is a bit bulky and prone to split, so going forward I think most of the trees will be made out of different materials, I know there’s a Maple one in the works.

This is such a fantastic tree! I see myself buying my kittehs one after the new year. Great job, Dad Sam!

Thanks! I’m very pleased with how it came out, we designed it together and I love the aesthetic of it. The Cryptids seem more inclined to climb it now that it’s been there for a few days, but even if they weren’t that interested I think it’s a nice installation piece.

They will no doubt see the benefits of the hexagon shelf whenever you get around to sitting right THERE on the sofa...

It’s a good thought! I might. I can’t get them to go on the rope hammock either, but I think they just need some inspiration and to be shown that it’s structurally stable :D

Over here all the fun flavours are only in diet

Some fun swag from the Post Office Box this week! 

Thank you @ameliahcrowley for going to the Leeds Armoury in an attempt to procure a new helmet keyring for me -- I’m so sorry they’ve gone away, but I love the magnet and the pin, and it’s tough to overestimate the usefulness of an LED keyring to be honest. And I love the card, thank you! 

The lovely copper owl mugs, tea, and fun card (it’s a Panda on the other side) are from @werunyonder and @bedlamwolf. The mugs are an EXCELLENT excuse to make:

a) Moscow Mule cocktails

b) Puns about them being MoscOWL Mules. :D 

I love this super hard. I'm 8k into a modern fantasy street magic fic inspired by stuff I've seen here on tumblr. And you may already be aware of this, but north Texas gets hella ice storms. Sheet ice that coats everything three or four inches thick and seals doors and windows shut for days. A couple of years ago we flew home to visit my mom the day after Christmas and they had cobblestone ice which is exactly what it sounds like. And horrifying to drive over.

Oh interesting! I knew they got more extreme winter weather than the rest of Texas but I didn’t know about ICE STORMS. Thank you!

I've passed 3k and am planning on getting at least 2k done tonight

GET DOWN, that’s great! KEEP WRITING.

I am way behind on my word count.

I have faith you will keep going and catch up! 

oft-goes-awry replied to your post “Is somebody holding on to that hairless cat's bottom? Is that why...”

Maybe you're a breastroker, Sam? They make that extremely slow nonsense WORK, whereas I stall out and go NOWHERE when I try.

My problem is, if I haven’t got my face in the water, my feet are kicking the bottom of the pool. To really swim properly, it’s going to have to be some kind of breathing-occasionally situation. :D   

pennie-dreadful replied to your post “I could not find a peanut-free recipe for Flying Jacob, which is too...”

@threeunrelateddescriptors I'm actually thinking about getting my sister in on this and posting tons of pics lol.

Bedlam: It really does. 

Yonder: Clearly I need to read more porn. 

Bedlam: Clearly. 

Yonder: Though to be fully honest, I mostly skim over those sections to get to the juicy bits (i.e. dialogue). 

I saw a lipstick kit at Harmens you would like. For Umber lips~

Mixed a request for Spiderman with winter wear over his costume and @bitterbiracialbibliophile‘s request for Peter with a bow on his head from the fic, There’s No Place Like Coul’s by @bedlamwolf

Bedlam: I think it’s funny that his codename is either Iron Patriot or War Machine.

Yonder: Those are very different descriptions.

Bedlam: And he’s a glorified government babysitter.

Yonder: Yes, yes he is.

Bedlam: Those are his epithets, though.

Yonder: I know, but… OMG! I bet it was Tony!

Turned into THIS:

Rhodey: Dude, why are you spreading these nicknames that mean the opposite thing?

Tony: It’s IRONIC. And you stole the suit, consider it payback.

Rhodey: It’s not stealing when you have the OVERRIDE CODE AND DON’T USE IT!

Tony: I chose the moral high ground for once, and you’re calling me out on it?? Well… high-ish. Higher than low.

Rhodey: Aggressively gifting someone something is not taking the high ground, Tony.

Tony: It totally is!

Rhodey: It’s dirty and underhanded, that’s what it is.

Tony: I’m hurt, Rhodey. I really am.

Rhodey: Yeah, I’m sure you are. You know what, I’m going to go change your name and see how you like it.

Tony: Have fun trying, Jimmy.

Rhodey: I will, Alloy Man.

Tony: You know I’ve got an entire PR department, right? That’ll never stick.

Rhodey: Sure it won’t, Mr. Stank.

Tony: … I hate you. I’m using those override codes the next time you go up, so you’d better get better quick. AND I’m disabling the air conditioning in the suit.

Rhodey: Yeah, I love you too, Tony.

Tony: So, I want you to look over the specs for the suit modifications I’m thinking about. I want dual control in the arms to compensate for the legs, but I’m not sure about the switchover mechanism… I was concerned about the added weight with the parallel systems, but if I remove the air conditioning, that should make up for the additional weight…

Rhodey: And I’ll overheat and die.

Tony: Well, yeah, minor detail…

Rhodey: What about removing the shoulder rockers?

Tony: How are you gonna shoot things without the shoulder rockets? Though I do have these miniaturized rockets I’ve been working on…

Rhodey: The chest ones, the leg ones, the glove guns… do I need to go on?

Tony: No, but please do. You know I love to hear people compliment my work.

Rhodey: You know what? You’re horrible.

Tony: That doesn’t sound like a compliment.

Rhodey: Good, because it wasn’t.

Tony: So cruel, Rhodes.
