Is this...also throwing some shade at Enterprise?!?

say what you will about teen wolf but nothing is going to beat the fact that they played lacrosse,, like it’s set in the us,, football is such a big thing there and theyre playing lacrosse,, who even plays lacrosse except rich snobs?? imagine watching a tv show about idk vampires and they all get together twice a week to play water polo for the school water polo team and apparently the entire canon universe actually gives a shit about water polo like genuinely gives a shit about it and they try and make it seem like water polo is actually a cool sport,,, incredible,,

I've had a number of customers tell me they've carried their mutant stuffies around with them and people mostly just find them cool and fun. It helps that they are on the small side but it also seems that the added weirdness of being mutants pushes them far enough out the range of normal that having one becomes socially acceptable again. *shrug*

God I really wish carrying stuffed animals around with you was socially acceptable

Aging AND living the cottagecore lifestyle has made me realize that the trope of the old wizard/witch in their workshop, surrounded by all sorts of bottles, pots and weird ingredients? That is just the basic truth of how you will end up.

You get older, and better aware of what you like AND have to find ways to use and store all the things you grow. Next thing you know and you have 15 different, custom condiments in your fridge, tons of bottles full of dried stuff and a freezer full of (hopefully labelled) pastes and plant bits.

I haven't even gotten into fermenting! That accounts for the bubbling stuff and some of the funny glassware.

The locket that will replace the angel watch fob on my Aziraphale costume. The eye painting is watercolours on antique salvaged ivory. (piano key veneer)

The token side has a background of blue-toned marbled paper with part of a black feather and then the loop of red (doll) hair. I’m a bit disappointed the details don’t fully show, but it is pretty small!

I ended up gilding some sterling silver over the metal and resin sections to finish off the wands.

Last of the Sonic screwdriver mods. This one also has a bit of a steampunk edge

The “Steampunk” version of my sonic screwdriver trio. Salvaged antique ivory panels and watch parts really dressed it up.

Pics of the “Cyberpunk” modded sonic screwdriver. I did a set of three using the ThinkGeek swappable kit.

I’m getting my post-apocalyptic wardrobe together. I’m going for “Steampunk biker queen”. This tie skirt should work.
