First up, Smiler’s final day of college! After giving Victor a happy boost to try and help override his fear of the dark and sitting with him to chat over breakfast, Smiler headed to campus to play a little foozball, give their final presentation, and take their final, er, final --
And, most importantly, do some last-minute Spirit Squad stuff to try and level up that one last time. Taking down and putting up the banners at Foxbury’s stadium helped a lot, as did going to Britechester to toilet paper their book statue and prank THEIR stadium with banners. . .but what did the trick in the end was coming back to Foxbury, finding a few fellow Squad members by the spawn point, and leading them in a couple school cheers! Two “Mr. Clicky” dances later, and Smiler had maxed out their rank in the Squad, becoming a Senior Member! This entitled them to wear the Larry The Lobster mascot outfit and buy the special Foxbury ping-pong table! (I thought they got one for free, but no go -- ah well, the family can afford it!) Nice! :D
And so it was back home in triumph, to take another drink from Victor’s wrist while Alice cleared out some of the cursed objects around the place. XD Begone, creepy doll, we do not need you! You know what we do need?

It seems like I have become possessed. By some sort of demon.
First morning wake up after the nautiloid crash and there are still many questions to be answered. Not by Ballard, though! He doesn't know shit or remember fuck all! My man has the lowest possible intelligence stat without incurring a negative, and also there's holes in his brain.
Had the thought a ways back about the notes you find from Kressa in the Illithid Colony re: the dark urge strangling her with his own intestines. I'm not sure how he was healed from her experiments, if they scarred or how long the marks might last, but my policy is not to turn down shit about durge that's funny/deeply upsetting so here we are. This is the first time I've drawn Gale I think and I love him.
In Knives Out Blanc wanted to do the murder mystery investigation with Marta so bad, but she was certain she was guilty so she spent a good amount of the movie avoiding/hiding stuff from him
Meanwhile in Glass Onion Helen was fucking carrying the investigation, even while accidentally getting drunk, and even went to investigation lengths Blanc was hesitant to do
Me, writing the parts of my fanfic I want to write: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!
Me, trying to string those parts together into something that resembles a narrative: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
you know how in 5.13 arthurs like “i tried to take your head off with a mace” and merlins like “and i stopped you, using magic” and arthurs immediate reply to that is “you cheated” … and i guess i was just thinking about the breathy little laugh merlin lets out in response to that. bc like i just noticed how maybe it was a little bit of relief and awe. because like. he just talked to arthur. about magic. about using magic From The Beginning. against him in a fight. and arthurs immediate response, his most natural reaction to that, was to comment on merlins poor sportsmanship. out of anything he couldve said something about. the first thing that came to mind was merlin not playing fair. which. idk. IDK!!!
the acoc candy couture vol 2 zine is literally the most stunning thing i've ever seen (CHECK IT OUT AND ALL THE OTHER ZINES FROM THE D20 ZINE JAM) and i drew the rocks sisters like i was fucking possessed or smth
i did a bunch of research to make smth sort of historically accurate for my primsy design last year. this year i wanted to just go off and go for pure vibes only. also i actually saved my process!
i knew roughly 2 things i wanted for this piece: outrageous medieval-esque fashions (historical accuracy not required) and also twists for their licorice hair. i put together a pureref, found a pose reference, and played with several different color palettes really terribly until i found one i liked! the details made me wanna die but the end result was sooooo worth it
