late to the (slumber) party, another entry for FatT Pinup Week: hot chocolate on the Little Snail

#fattpinups #friendsatthetable #perpetua
Viele sits awkwardly on a makeshift fold out bed amongst supply shelves on the Little Snail. Elena balances on the edge of her much more established bunk (with a messy quilt, stuffed animals, and pictures tacked to the shelving). Elena grins and gestures, stretching her body to rest her elbow on the shelf above her as she tells a story to Veile. in the background, Uncle Nicky stands in front of the stove with his back to the viewer wearing red long johns. Jonathan stands near him, smiling and holding a mug of hot chocolate the same image, but slightly darker/closer to the original, cropped to focus on elena.

last night i was half way up the stairs to go take a shower and the baby started crying and barking continuously (usually it’s one or two barks at a time) so i rushed back downstairs and found Warren pushed all the way against the wall opposite his puzzle ball toy that had come apart..

finally remembered to upload this image that you didn't ask for XD
aterika'kaal depicted as a a spider with a rose growing atop its abdomen. it's back two sets of legs have a flat leaf-like shape and it holds its front two set of legs straight together in front of it. it has hairs at the base of the legs to obscure any gap, making it appear as if the rose had one thick stem.

FatT pinup week, double dipped:

Beach Day & Sick as Shit
#fattpinups #friendsatthetable
es crouches in the sand over lye lychen, who has been buried up to the neck in sand. she holds a ice cream cone above him, directing some of the dripping melted ice cream into his enthusiastically waiting mouth. some drops have already missed, landing on her thigh and his cheek.

parallel pups
clover lays partially under our bed, head hidden and legs out straight beneath her like a child’s drawing of a dog. a short distance away a puppy sleeps in its crate, in the same position facing the same direction. both are old english sheepdogs (square, fluffy, white head and black/grey backs. clover has a puppy cut (fluffy but basically the same length as the puppy’s fur), making the resemblance even stronger) an important note: puppy is sleeping on a large flat ice pack wrapped in a pillow case. we have to put this dog on ice for it to get a good night’s sleep….???

thank you! poor clover is not as enthused as we hoped she’d be, but she just got back from a 3 week long road trip and is suffering from slim-jim withdrawal (ciaran’s sister apparently shared Constantly), so i’m still optimistic her heart will open
baby sleeping on the couch with its head wedged against its fabric sided crate baby sleeping on the couch with its head on top of a stuffed puppy so it sort of looks like the stuffed puppy body is the baby’s body clover delighted to be abducted by aliens at her visit to Roswell just a few days ago.

an old english sheepdog (like our older dog clover)! unfortunately they get over-groomed for shows (and consequently misrepresented a lot) but they’re extremely intelligent herding dogs with absolutely no prey drive (they herd from the front instead of by chasing, making them good guide dogs)!
clover earlier this summer laying on a picnic blanket smiling at the camera. she’s been clipped short for the season except for her head, which has a ponytail to keep her long fur out of her eyes clover more recently, on a road trip with my partner and his sister, having decided she’s driving that day (she’s curled up into the wheel well of the drivers seat) clover recently on the road trip on a train in the pacific northwest somewhere

i’m sorry i should be hyping up @fattpinupweek.bsky.social more (less than one week away now!!) but i went and did the thing,
puppy (tentatively named Warren) laying on bathroom tile in a hotel room half way back to pittsburgh from minnesota the same puppy on its side (having remained there unbothered while i ran things out to the car!)

this whole arc is full of emotional shrapnel though, it’s impressive!
Austin (as Omerra): If you ever lose one of your number, the Blackwick Group, well, I hope you don't pull knives on each other the first night. But maybe you will. Maybe your own trust doesn’t run as deep as ours did. Little man like you keeps secrets, doesn’t he?

also went on a nice water hike (oh how i love to walk in a stream) and did a mediocre watercolor today.. kept busy this weekend (midweek. whatever)! 💪
idealic rocky stream in a steep valley, leaves everywhere. the water is suspiciously colored but there were fish in it and my dog isn’t dead so it’s probably fine fig chewing a bone i brought with us to keep him occupied while i painted a watercolor painting of two plants. some sort of arrow leafed thing and maybe an aster in a steep rocky valley, fig (a large fluffy black dog with a curly tail) waits for me downstream.

you should have seen what i did with various saws in my driveway yesterday. my partner is out of town or he would have killed me himself if he witnessed this (doing it with nobody around to call for help was also dumb, but unfortunately i was successful so i can’t say i won’t do worse in the future)
photo of my kitchen on wednesday morning. two very mismatched shelves are occupying the space too short for the fridge we bought last year the cabinet that was 1.5 inches too low, sitting on a table saw in my driveway. i’ve very safely created a platform that the cabinet can be slid onto using a dog grooming table, some bricks, and plastic trays. i took this image specifically so i could explain what happened if i injured myself (but i did not injure myself) the empty space where the cabinet and fridge should go. the cabinet and its doors are on the floor with a coat or two of primer drying. the doors of an adjacent cabinet have also been removed. you can see the curious brick and shingle situation where the previous owners seemed to have wanted the kitchen to look like the outside of a cottage?? 10 pm tonight, the cabinet is up, the cabinet adjacent to it has also been painted white, and the fridge finally fits in the fridge hole after nearly a year

fero, very helpful, presents lem with a feverberry
#friendsatthetable
from 9/19/2024, a contribution to the Hieron Zine as spot art for “Berry Picking” by Neinor lem frowns down at fero, who is emerging from a tangle of brambles with a hand lifted in offering, a large golden berry in his palm. lem holds something like a camera.

somebody pulled this shirt out of the blackwick mines and knew exactly who to give it to…
