idk who this advice is for, but if you have an aging grandparent who is losing their hearing, text notes on your phone work great! You can make the font huge & it's easier than scribbling on a whiteboard!
Last time I visited my grandma, I saved this last message to her in the notes app, because I had a feeling it might be the last time I saw her.
It was.
Seeing this hits different now. I only wish I'd thought of doing it sooner, because for a couple of years she's been withdrawn when I'd visit, because she couldn't follow conversations. I did finally realize her vision was good & I could write stuff down, but my handwriting is crap lol.
Anyway. Notes app. If it's applicable to your situation at all, try it! I got to actually communicate with my grandma again before she passed, and I feel like an idiot for not thinking of it years ago.
I don't think we talk enough about how Stargate's wraith aka space vampires had one of the most outside the box vampire powers to ever grace TV. Like kudos to whoever said "hey fuck it we're gonna take one of the most one dimensional villain races we've ever made which can very accurately be described as space vampires and just completely blow that idea out of the water with a single scene showing that they have miles more depth than you could ever guess".
I mean come on why am I not seeing more vampire fanfic where the vamp can give life in the same manner that they can take it?! It's such a groundbreaking idea in a trope that short of this the most recent big change of pace was glitter.
That single scene where it looks like Todd just killed John but then he turns around and gives him back more years than he took? Mwah chefs kiss. Possibly the most efficient story telling I've seen.
Anyway I support queer agenda that episode suggested and am eternally devastated that Todd didn't become a Teal'c level character but with extra gay because telepathy.
Man it’s kinda sad how many people haven’t played bg3 and just see astarion as nothing more than a “sexy vampire female gaze bait” type character
It’s just so fucking ironic. Like that’s the whole point of the character. The whole point is that he’s fucking shallow on the surface THATS THE WHOLE POINT THATS THE WHOLEFUCKING POINT AAAAAAAAA LIKE THATS LITERALLY THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT NOBODY SEES HIM FOR MORE THAN HIS BODY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Made another Above the Law patch back in August, because I still had some smaller pieces of fabric after a bigger project. This one does not glow in the dark.
I also used three strings of yarn (out of six) and a more coarse fabric.
The pattern was created by @prurientpuddlejumper
Astarion: I... I can't believe you would choose me 🥺 I... I'm so broken and complicated, I'm a *monster*... are you sure you really want to deal with all this?
Me: HOLY SHIT CAN I BONE THE MIND FLAYER? BABE, I GET A FREE PASS FOR TENTACLES, RIGHT? 🤤
Astarion: .... im the most normal person you've dated, aren't i? 😑
Dragon Prince season 5: So this shady town full of criminals is under the thumb of a guy name Finnegrin whom you do not want to cross
Me: Heh. Sounds like Al Swearengen in Deadwood.
Finnegrin, appears:
Me: HOLY SHIT IT'S AL SWEARENGEN!!!!!
Finnegrin: *sounds exactly like Ian McShane*
Me: !!!!!!! I'm not going crazy, right? Could this be a coincidence?
