“crowley doesn’t eat.” crowley is a snake. he absolutely houses a singular appallingly enormous meal every hundred years or so and then pops off for a lovely little nap to digest

#aziraphale has tried to convince him to adopt more human (or angelic) eating habits #but crowley maintains that even with biology aside the sheer scale and audacity of his contemptuous disregard for proper table manners #always earns him if not a commendation at the very least a check in hell’s good er bad er whatever books #crowley's storytime I’ve been in love with my best friend for six thousand years mukbang when #'crowley just doesn't like food' #crowley introduced aziraphale to eating and drinking #he likes food #he just can't eat it too often #his big meal is a big deal #lots to catch up on #he and aziraphale have a very special date for it every time #aziraphale calls his etiquette ‘indecent’ because watching crowley unhinge this jaw like that gets him a bit flustered #canon is whatever I think is most amusing #good omens #crowley

The duality of us early today in the discord server convincing @pepper-mintzyy nothing would happen with Missa and that he would not appear and.

Look.

I won’t be the one to tell them.

Like.

Yeah.

I’m just chilling.

BTW I genuinely love that night in the woods does not, in the end, tell you if it was all real or not. It does not even explain whether the goat was real. It gives you mundane explanations - mae's mental health history, gas leaks, the strikes and structural instability in the mines - but also it's juuust legitimately supernatural enough that you end the game going... well. was that all imagined? how much of that was legitimate? the cultists all talk about getting abilities from the pit, and mae's friends are there and are confirming this is actually happening, and I think that was the first time in the game I actually approached the idea that there really was something else going on and it wasn't all just things we the player are experiencing because we're getting it from mae's perspective and mae is a truly intense unreliable narrator.

But: how much does it matter if there's actually an eldritch goat god underneath possum springs, or if it was all just a delusion on mae's behalf, or if it's a gas leak? that isn't the point. that was never the point.

also that maintenance guy is a ghost im 90% sure

#nitw #revisiting this game for. reasons (dndads au) #i have to be sooo careful with nitw bc while i LOVE this particular brand of spooky shit #it also definitely fucked with my brain in less pleasant ways. so. oops #OKAY STORYTIME IF YOU'RE DOWN HERE IN THE TAGS: #the first time i played night in the woods it was entirely on a recommendation from a friend #i went in completely blind. i did not look at the genre tags. i went oh! that's right! my friend likes this game! #i've heard very good things about this game! so i bought it and i started it and i realized VERY quickly it was a Certain #Type Of Game. yknow. so i went ok its gonna be a cutesy game that talks about Real Shit but otherwise is silly and fun. alright. #and then i hit the halfway point and i realized oh. oh this is sort of a horror game. isn't it. it scared the hell outta me #i LOVED it. getting hit with that midpoint scene with the red and the silhouettes and the well and that was when i decided i loved this gam #but anyway yeah can you imagine being slightly obsessed with ghosts and going into night in the woods without a single expectation #and then getting hit with ALL OF THAT? delightful. wonderful. most unnerving game experience ive ever had in my life.

Do you think that MatPat will one day discover sanders sides and start making theories or arr you normal

the only mystery left regarding sanders sides is why havent logan and janus sucked faces on screen

on a more serious note, what theories are there to be made about sanders sides, its a pretty straightforward show that was never intended to have some like.... deep lore. the most mysterious thing about the show is how many damn personality categories are left for the orange side to be a thing

#hello internet. welcome to game theory. and today were gonna talk about why patton is a bitch #and then hed make a patton pattoff joke #oldtxt #thomas #asks #was gonna make a joke about how the other mystery of the show is how the hell he made it through #the storytime animation fiasco without saying anything. mans great at compartmentalizing #patton was hard at work those days huh #all in all this is to say: none of us are normal. we need to log off

Today I was talking to a friend in school when we were getting out and I was talking about how much I missed Chayanne (egg) and a girl in front of me turned around and looked me dead in the eyes with the most confused look thinking I was talking about Chayanne singer. The confusion.

Surprise Birthday Breakfast 🍳

Tfw you want to do something secret for your husband but his perception is too high.

Inspired by @sociallyawkwardfoxwriter’s recent beautiful fic You’ll See Me in Your Dreams. It has angst, it has domestic content, it has nightmares and falling asleep with loved ones. It has ^^this cute scene which I haven’t stopped thinking about.

Image description below:

[Image ID: Two panel illustration of a fondly smiling Orym sitting behind a startled Dorian who was making breakfast for him. Both characters are from Critical Role. Left panel has Orym sitting on a wooden countertop with elbows on knees, resting a cheek on a fist and softly smiling up at Dorian. Orym has pointed ears, messy, short, dark-brown hair, light-green eyes, light skin, and freckles. He’s wearing a light beige short-sleeved shirt and dark green pants. Behind him is a light sketch of milk and a basket of eggs and a small heart by his face. The right panel has a startled, blushing Dorian turning around while stirring a pan, he’s looking down at Orym. Dorian has pointed ears, light blue skin blushing purple, bright blue eyes and an open gaping mouth. His long, messy, straight hair falls down his back with an ombré of black, light navy-blue, then white. He wears a light blue-grey shirt with the sleeves rolled to his elbows and blue pants. He stands in front of a stove and wooden counter, a frying pan, mixing bowl, stick of butter, and glass oil bottle laid around him, all sketched out with no color. The background is a flat blend of salmon pink and pale yellow. Watermark on drawing has a Twitter and Tumblr icon and reads “Threadcount Art, Do not repost/edit/trace” End ID]

The Nowhere’s Store Saga

Alrighty folks, it’s Storytime. I, along with my business partner, a couple of employees, and a handful of very dedicated volunteers, am building (quite literally) a Friendly Local Game Store and geeky community center in Springfield, Missouri! And hoo boy, it has been a journey. I’ll be merciful to the scrollers and put most of it under the cut, but click through to see the adventures we’ve been on for the last six months of dealing with a decrepit old building full of mysteries! 

But first, a little begging for money. We’re so close to being open, but we’re also doing it as working class folks who don’t get on well with banks, so we’re dependent entirely on personal loans and crowdfunding. If you’d like to help us buy ceiling tiles along on our journey, please check out our GoFundMe! 

First, a little background. I grew up in the gaming community in my hometown, getting my first job in the industry when I was 16, working as a Dungeon Master for a game and comic shop called Dragon’s Lair, which became my home store and the center of both my social and professional life. When Dragon’s Lair closed down in 2010, I bounced from shop to shop for a little while, looking to replace the sense of community that Dragon’s Lair had embodied. Nothing ever quite set right for me. Either the place felt too much like a store, where I felt uncomfortable spending time there without constantly buying stuff, or it didn’t have enough space, or it didn’t cater to the markets I cared about, or I just plain didn’t like the people behind the counter. So eventually, I got enough, and decided that I was gonna start my own store! With blackjack! And hookers! Actually, probably not those last couple things, because the license fees are outrageous. 

So Nowhere’s Store of Forgotten Lore was conceived. It took a few years to get to the point of being able to actually pull the trigger, but the circumstances that came with the pandemic forced our hand, and we started building Nowhere’s Store into something real. 

After a couple months of sitting around a table at a pizza joint and hashing out details, a metric fuckload of paperwork, and a lucky break involving a rock in someone’s shoe, we finally had a place. It’s huge, and the price is fantastic, but... Well, we had our work cut out for us. What we found when we got there was this:

Our building had been a carpet wholesale place since the 1960s, and had seen a lot of use and abuse over the decades. We found all sorts of unpleasantness in our ceiling and our walls... and our floors... and any other available (or unavailable) nook and/or cranny. Some highlights include:

Shoddy construction on carpet shelving that would have held literal tons of product. This particular bit, helpfully labeled by whoever Shawn was, fell. the fuck. off. while someone was working on that shelf.

See this wall? No you don’t, because that’s not a wall, it’s a Wall-Like Object. It is merely the suggestion of a wall, because a real wall wouldn’t be held in place solely by two screws and a single piece of goddamn corner molding.

Alex’s tool chest here was hiding a broken and open window, which solved the where the fuck is all this humidity coming from??? question we had for the first couple months. Why there was a chest-high window in a former-bathroom-turned-closet, the world may never know.

This is our office, which as you can see, was tastefully paneled in 1980s wood paneling and brown shag carpet stapled to pegboard. Because sure. The shag was removed immediately, but the paneling remains...

For those of you unfamiliar with the Holy Trifecta of Jury-Rigging, that is baling twine. Which was the only thing holding up a length of electrical conduit that was suspended from the ceiling. That’s definitely safe and up to code.

Thankfully, most of the above has gone bye-bye, and we were able to start actual construction.

Once the sham-walls were out of the way, this is what the front of the shop looked like. All you see before the beginnings of the new wall is strictly retail space. About 2,500 square feet of space for games, comics, and collectibles. But that’s only about a third of our space.

This is our reading lounge. Until we get the rest of the shop completed, it’ll be our primary gaming space, but the end-goal is a space where people can just come in and hang out, read some comics, or just spend some time with other members of the community. It’ll be themed after a 19th century explorer’s club, and that big brown panel in the back is in the middle of becoming a false window, where we can display landscape scenes to move the lounge from the African savannah to the windswept deserts of Mars, and anywhere else we can imagine.

Speaking of gaming space...

This is Sparta gaming space. Roughly the same amount of space as the front of the shop, this is going to be our tournament space. Enough room to host a full-scale Magic tournament, with a couple board gaming groups or tabletop RPG parties as well, without breaking a sweat. We’re even putting in a back counter so that those participating in a tournament don’t have to schlep all the way to the front counter to buy some chips.

But Nowhere, you ask, I’m self-conscious around crowds, and Magic players are loud. I wouldn’t want to run my D&D campaign in the middle of so many people. I hate your shop and I hate you!

Well, aside from being oddly aggressive, my dear strawman, you’re also... 

Wrong! 

With our social media mala for scale, what you see before you is one of our three private game rooms! Through a secret door (yes, really), is a second section of the store, which will be dedicated entirely to private gaming spaces, all available to our community for free! Not available in Alaska or Hawaii. Void where prohibited.

There’s two concrete walls and an air gap between this section of the shop and the rest of the place, so it’ll be noise-free and, due to the struggles we dealt with trying to run games during lockdown, will be set up for streaming, so that any member of your groups that can’t make it to the shop can remote in via Discord or other apps and participate just like everybody else.

Now, up to this point, everything’s kinda looked like... well, shit. It’s looked like shit. Bare concrete, shockingly unsafe walls, and janky construction throughout. But we’ve been busy these last few months, and now it looks like this:

We’re installing the slatwall right now, so apologies for that being in the way, but look! Walls! Carpet! People! I’m actually in this picture, there in the hat, writing this very post. 

That whole wall there, that runs the length of the retail space, is going to be dedicated to comics. Our manager, Stu, is a fixture in our local gaming and comics community, and has been The Comic Guy for 30+ years. We’re really excited to see what he does with it, as he’s been given free reign to do with it what he pleases. 

Our manga section is my business partner’s baby, and he has great plans for it, starting with the massive X-frame display you can see behind me there.

The back wall will be dedicated to tabletop RPGs on one side, and board games on the other. We plan on carrying things that are hard to find elsewhere, including niche miniatures and tabletop games made by people other than Hasbro. 

Our counter, which will be where the slatwall is now (the counters themselves are in the back right now), will be split between card games and collectibles.

And speaking of niche, hard-to-find products, one of the things I’m most excited about is our local creator display. We have a floor display that’ll be a showcase for local artists, authors, and other creators. We want to show our customers that they don’t need to order things from half a world away to get affordable, handmade crafts, and we want to show our community that we’re willing to put our money (and our floor space) where our mouth is, and regularly stock local creations.

We’re opening in stages, but the front will be ready for stock within the week, and we should be open very soon. However, like I mentioned back at the beginning, we’re running low on funds, and we’re looking to the community for help in the final stretch. Whether you’re local gamers, friends of the staff, or just people who want to see a community-centric place like ours exist in the world, please consider donating to our GoFundMe. We’re also amenable to loans, so if that’s more your speed, feel free to email us at [email protected]

Whelp, that’s it for now! Thanks for spending your time on this post, and happy gaming.

#i try not to put people on blast (so to speak i love this stuff) for their extremely niche works they made ten years ago #but such is the way of padlock shipping #i'll say i'm referring to the 'ice hell storytime' characterizations so im not putting anyone in specific out there #but fun tag to go through if you never have #usually a lot of horror elements keep in mind #i know at least one of the fic writers im referring to follows this blog if you see this hi (love your new songwriting also) #q&a
