Seeing ALL the things...
Wanted an early start, so got takeaway breakfast and hopped in the car for the Sculptor’s Cave, on the north Moray coast near Elgin. This is a cave on the beach with Pictish carvings dating back to the 6th and 7th century. Unfortunately, it started raining as we arrived, and the signpost was down (are we in an adventure movie???), so we only walked as far as the lighthouse and turned back. (Which turned out to be a smart move - 10 minutes back in the car and it was pouring.) But the coastline was beautiful, and it was our first time seeing the North Sea.
We drove through the little town of Elgin and saw Loch Oire, then cut across from Elgin to Aberdeen on the east coast. There we walked across the Brig o’ Balgownie (late 1200s), which was a strategic point, as it was the only way to move large armies along the coast of Aberdeenshire. Another little waterfall too!
Had lunch in Aberdeen at Holburn Bar, which is sort of like Applebee’s meets sports bar, but with the tv’s on silent. I should mention here that I’ve now had mac & cheese three days in a row. I figure it is so popular here, it deserves at least the same attention as Indian food in London. Rankings to-date: #1 Castle Tavern in Inverness; #2 Cobbs Cafe in Fort Augustus; #3 Holburn Bar in Aberdeen. They were all better than what you normally get at home - I’m a purist, and don’t want truffle oil, bacon, breadcrumbs, or any other superfluous ingredients. I want mac, and I want cheese, and Scotland delivers.
Then about 2 more hours in the car (lots of driving today - thanks, P!) to Donnottar Castle in Stonehaven. THIS is what you imagine when you think of a Scottish castle. It’s out on a high bluff overlooking the North Sea; it was considered impregnable, and it’s easy to see why. It is speculated that it was in use as far back as the year 600, but most of the remaining buildings are from the 15th and 16th centuries. It is most famously known as the place where Scotland’s crown jewels, the Honours of Scotland, were hidden from Oliver Cromwell’s invasion in the 17th century. The last laird in residence, Earl Marischal, forfeited his titles when he participated in the Jacobite Rebellion in 1715.
One last stop for the day, in Kirriemuir to see a statue of Bon Scott, of AC/DC fame. Though the band hails from Australia, Bon was born in The Wee Red Toon, and his stage name comes from the nickname Bonnie Scot (shortened to Bon to be more “masculine.” 😂)
Then back in the car and on to Linlithgow, a suburb(?) of Edinburgh. We're staying in a really cute hotel that used to be the courthouse, the Court Residence. Had Italian at Bar Leo, about 2 blocks from the hotel, where a very large flying bug in the gelato case did not stop me from having 3 flavors. 🐷

How did Errol's own magic bullshit create Larry with the toon transformation? Also, did you always plan for this to be a thing? For Errol and Larry to be connected? When did you come up with this idea?
Oh yes, I planned from the start of Eleventh Law for that to be Larry's source--Larry's true nature hadn't been revealed to anyone at that point, but the details of the Not-Toons missing their shadows was specifically there to start lying the breadcrumbs out.
The specifics of who his "brother" was got fleshed out as I went along, but I knew by the time the main Not-Toon crew was introduced that Raleigh was the guy (really early sketches spelled it Rally, but I changed it to make the connection a little less obvious).
As for Errol's magic bullshit, well. It's not Larry's own devotion to any deity that makes his banjo glow with holy radiance.

Buddy Tells Fairytales
Buddy: “I’m doing this from memory, so bear with me. Our first story will be——”
Bendy: “Wait, you’re doing more than one?”
Buddy, ignoring him: “——the tale of the Three Little Pigs.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sammy: “Ugh, I can’t believe Joey kicked us out.”
Norman: “Oh, my God. I know, right? He’s such a hog.”
Sammy: “Now we have to, like, build our own houses.”
Norman, disgusted: “Ew.”
Wally: “I’m gonna build my house with brick!”
Norman: “Wally, are you serious?”
Wally, confused: “What?”
Sammy: “That’s stupid.”
Norman: “The wolf is gonna turn you into ground beef.”
Sammy: “We’re pigs.”
[Silence]
Wally: “Well, what’re you guys building your houses with?”
Norman: “Straw.”
Sammy: “Sticks.”
Wally, crossing his arms: “Your houses are gonna get destroyed by the wolf!”
Sammy: “You don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Norman: “Yeah, the wolf isn’t coming near any of our houses.”
Wally, putting his hands on his hips: “Fine. But don’t come running into my brick house when the wolf wants to kill you.”
[An hour later]
Wally, peeking through the window: “Go away.”
Brute Boris: “Little pig, little pig, let me in.”
Wally: “No. Not by the cheeks of my big, big ass.”
Brute Boris: “Then I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blow your house down.”
Wally: “Wait, what about my besties?”
Brute Boris, halting: “What about them?”
Wally: “Did you eat them?”
Brute Boris: “No, I couldn’t get near their houses.”
Wally: “WHAT THE FUCK? Their houses are literally horrible!”
Brute Boris: “I’m allergic to straw and sticks.”
Wally, about to go back: “Well, whatever. This house is made of bricks, so you can’t blow it down!”
Brute Boris, leaving: “Sure, I can.”
Brute Boris, coming back with tanks with Searchers: “Take him down, boys.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Boris, shocked: “I—I don’t think that’s how the original story goes, Budd——”
Buddy: “This next one is a personal favorite! Hansel and Gretel.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Norman: “Oh, my God, I can’t believe our boss left us in the middle of nowhere.”
Sammy: “Oh, my God, I know. At least I told you to leave a trail of breadcrumbs, so we wouldn’t get lost.”
Norman: “Oh, I ate it.”
Sammy, staring: “What?”
Norman, repeating: “I ate the loaf of bread.”
Sammy, groaning: “Why would you do that? Gretel, you dumb bitch! Now we’re going to die.”
Norman: “Look, all we need is food, water, and fire.”
Sammy, scoffing: “And where are we gonna get that?”
Norman, pointing: “Oh, look, there’s a candy house right over there.”
Sammy: “Oh, my God. Yes. Let’s eat it.”
Norman, cringing: “Ew, no. There’s bird shit on it.”
Sammy, rolling his eyes: “Then what else are we supposed to eat?”
Norman: “I don’t know. But that lady looks weird...”
Malice, with a hood: “Hello. Is that children I hear?”
Norman: “Yeah!”
Sammy: “I’m twelve...”
Norman: “Wait, you can’t see us?”
Malice: “No! But you two sound delicious.”
Norman: “What the hell? We’re not food!”
Sammy, smirking: “Everyone says I’m delicious.”
Malice: “Well, I’m having some trouble, children! Can you see if my oven is hot enough by crawling inside of it?”
Norman: “Why the fuck would we wanna do that?”
Malice: “Don’t you want to help this lady——”
Sammy: “No.”
Malice: “Please?”
Norman, walking away: “I’m out.”
Sammy, following: “Yeah.”
Malice, taking hood off, revealing her face: “YOU’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!”
Sammy, monotone: *takes Tommy gun out and shoots her*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alice: “I-I thought they were supposed to trick her and escape...”
Buddy: “There’s a lesson to be heard here, guys.”
Alice + Bendy + Boris, finally hopeful: “Don’t talk to strangers?”
Buddy, walking out: “No! Don’t eat bread.”
Alice + Bendy + Boris: *disappointed*
{This is why the Toons never listened to Buddy’s stories ever again.}

Sometimes it really doesn’t feel like I get a good scale for some of my female toons’ heights, especially the tall girls like Saarai (and Ni’kasi and Vano)
But then I get a breadcrumb wide-angle shot like this and it makes me stupidly happy
Sharack and Vette look so smol (tbh, they could look a little smaller, Saarai’s 6 ft 3, she’s a mountain agsygtydgd but this is a good start) and this is exactly as it should be dgdyugdtfd
Also, I love this Oasis scene, there are so many nice screenshots to be taken. I have a bunch more, but I’m gonna throw them in the queue to go up either later tonight or early morning tomorrow while I’m sleeping :’D
Onward to Alderaan and then we’ll be done with Chapter One of SW, one step closer to RotHC and then SoR wooot!

How to organize your SWTOR stuff (aka Adventures in Crazy)
As long as my alt-alholism has been in full swing, I’ve been attempting to organize all the minutiae about my increasing number of SWTOR toons.
Go below the cut for the crazy!
It started with a list that is still a mainstay: companion gift preferences. It’s now in its 4th or 5th iteration, still printed from an Excel file, and happily occupying its very own sheet protector. I have a few other things in that pile - gathering node decoration yields, colors needed for Fabricator Crystals by crafting profession, a breakdown of which crafting professions make which items since 3.0, and a walkthrough of the Eternal Championship. I’d also had a breakdown of guild ship expansions for the Nerf Herders guilds (both completed now), matrix shard planet locations and matrix cube stats (no longer needed thanks to legacy-wide datacrons and better relics), a spreadsheet detailing the armor pieces of my Level 55 toons (instantly outdated when 3.0 hit), and a spreadsheet to track my Light v. Dark event progress.
Over the last few years I’ve been using a small notepad - and later notebooks - to jot down Important Stuff. Sometimes it’s simply conquest- or event-related stuff (like who’s completed a weekly goal) or something else temporary. But my overall game interests are constantly in flux, and I’ve been tracking an increasing number of things on a long-term basis. Most of my notes are in one of two small notebooks, though I still have a little stack of free-floating papers.
In addition to the aforementioned lists, here’s what I’m currently keeping track of:
Notebook 1: Stuff I refer to more frequently and/or longer term. The first 4 things listed are the reason I started using a notebook, and after that I just kept going.
Toons hoarding Command Crate commendations, so I don’t go over the max
Alliance Specialist completion (Y/N) for toons who have reached KOTFE
Armor pieces needed from Alliance Crates to complete all 40 legacy armor sets on Star Forge
Toons who have available Weekly Kingpin contracts, by planet
Toons who have Exotic Plague Specimens
Vehicles earned from Achievements and how to get them
Which toons currently have Light vs. Dark XP boost armor sets
CXP tiers of all Level 70 toons and their light/dark alignment
Stronghold decos purchasable from vendors for prefabs, special currency, etc (but not credits)
Star Fortress completion (Y/N) for toons who have reached KOTFE
Level 70 toons that need to finish the storylines for Ilum, Makeb, and Oricon
Level 70 toons that need to complete DF/DP for the Oricon storyline
Stronghold decos purchasable from vendors for credits (plus special currency if needed)
Level 70 toons that need to finish their class story
Toons currently working on planet quest chains
Crafting professions for Satele Shan toons
Level 70 toons that need to finish the breadcrumb quests (and/or boss runs for Aratech Fire) for TFB, S&V, EV, KP, EC
Toons who have reached KOTFE and need to recruit Lokin
Level 70 toons who need to complete the Ancient Gree Relays quest
Toons on Satele Shan who are collecting their class’s Alliance Crate armor
Level 70 toons who have finished the class story but have not finished Forged Alliances/Ziost, and where they are specifically
Level 70 toons who have finished Forged Alliances/Ziost but have not finished KOTFE, and which chapter they have to do next
Level 70 toons who have finished KOTFE but not KOTET, and which chapter they have to do next
Level 70 toons who have finished KOTET, and which location/flashpoint they are going to next (currently I have 4 toons who have completed The Nathema Conspiracy, w00t)
Toons who have not yet collected all 8 pets from Command Crates, and which pets they still need
Notebook 2: PVE Rotations and toons using each tree. I have tried and tested these in-game and feel confident using them. Once I decide I’m OK with a rotation, I’ll screenshot the toon’s keybindings as well as the details of each ability, so I can easily replicate the keybindings and rotation for other toons using the same tree or the equivalent tree in the opposite faction. I’m only worried about max level toons for these.
Dirty Fighting Gunslinger
Engineering Sniper
Virulence Sniper
Scrapper Scoundrel
Concealment Operative
Assault Specialist Commando
Gunnery Commando
Innovative Ordnance Mercenary
Arsenal Mercenary
Deception Assassin
Telekinetics Sage
Balance Sage (I also have two toons using the equivalent Madness Sorcerer rotation, just haven’t gone through the trouble of matching their keybindings 100%)
Vengeance Juggernaut
Combat Sentinel
Watchman Sentinel
Annihilation Marauder
Random papers floating around:
Star Forge Crafting Info: list of professions and toons with slicers specifically noted, crafting mat prices by gathering profession and crafting level, gathering node decorations that are “broken” and giving mats for the wrong level. This one seriously needs a permanent home.
Decorations I have not yet acquired, not including anything that requires an achievement. Theoretically all of these can be sold/traded, and decos obtainable from cartel packs, operations, uprisings, and flashpoints are marked as such.
Toons running crafting missions to stock up for the MK-4 prefabs
PVE rotations I am still trying out in-game: Ruffian Scoundrel, Focus Guardian, Sharpshooter Gunslinger, updated Virulence Sniper, Seer Sage (trying not to suck at healing so much)
I’m still not sure if all of this has made my alt-aholism easier to deal with (at least from a planning standpoint) or harder to deal with (OMG SO MUCH DATA)...

The Surprising History of the Gingerbread Man
Food Fun & News
Carrie BellOct 24
‘Tis almost the season for gingerbread. Here’s a look at the history of this holiday visitor—and his house.
It’s all Greek to us
Smeerjewegproducties/Shutterstock
As with many recipes, the precise origin of gingerbread is murky. The ginger root itself was first cultivated in ancient China and likely traveled to Europe via the Silk Road, according to Serious Eats. But Chinese recipes using the ingredient for a dessert weren’t developed until the tenth century.
Steven Stellingwerf, the sweets scholar who penned The Gingerbread Book, hypothesizes that the spicy treat was introduced to Western Europe by 11th-century crusaders coming home from the Mediterranean. The first known recipe came from Greece in 2400 B.C., but Michael Krondl, author of Sweet Invention: A History of Dessert, told Time that was for the cookie-shaped man—the ginger came later.
Serious Eats also mentions that an Armenian monk named Gregory of Nicopolis is credited with introducing French priests to the ways of gingerbread when he moved to Bondaroy, France, in 992. Egyptians may have been making gingery cakes for ceremonies and celebrations since the 11th century—or even earlier. Check out these 7 gingerbread recipes for the holidays.
Medieval munchies

By the Middle Ages, the treat was becoming a staple around Europe, especially in Poland, Germany, the British Isles, France, and the Netherlands. Because the Polish city of Toruń was located on an old spice route, had fertile soil, and was home to a large honeybee population, it churned out gingerbread that featured honey; flour (rye, wheat, or a blend); and spices, including cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, cloves, and nutmeg, according to the New York Times. Anise, cardamom, allspice, and a little coriander were sometimes mixed in. Other early versions contained ground almonds, breadcrumbs, and rosewater as well. English cooks started transitioning from honey to sugar by the end of the 16th century and molasses by the mid-17th century. According to the Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America, butter and cream were being added to 18th-century versions that “very much” resembled “the modern gingerbread cookies of today.”
Smithsonian.com reports that gingerbread flowers, birds, armor, animals, spiritual emblems, and kings became standard festival and fair food throughout medieval Europe. Cities in France and England hosted “gingerbread fairs” for centuries and the cookies served there were called “fairings,” according to PBS. The shapes du jour changed with the seasons.
What’s in a name?
Creative Toons/Shutterstock
In Europe, the term “gingerbread” meant preserved or candied ginger root until the 15th century, according to Serious Eats. According to Smithsonian.com, the name gingebras (from the old French) began to designate the bread toward the end of the 15th century.
In Poland, the New York Times says they call gingerbread cookies—including the men—pierniki, a name derived from the Polish words pieprz and pierny, which mean “peppery.”
The German version of gingerbread cookies is known as Lebkuchen. People have been baking Lebkuchen for well over 400 years and it’s a staple of street fairs. German cookies are often heart-shaped and decorated with names and messages of love written in icing. Check out who inspired the names of 16 more iconic foods.
