Rayman 2 is one of my favorite 3D platformers of that era.
Image is of the cover or Rayman 2: The Great Escape for the N64. Rayman, a character with a red bandana, a purple sleeveless shirt and yellow sneakers, is fleeing from an exploding pirate ship. Rayman is blonde with a large nose and has an ability to move hands and feet despite not having any arms and legs. The scene is at night, showing greenish fireflies in the sky, and Rayman runs along a wooden pier toward the viewer at a 3/4ths angle. The logo is on the top left, gold in color, parallel with Rayman's head. A red bar takes up the right side, taking up roughly about 1/6th of the image, highlighting the N64 logo, a simplified outline of the N64 controller, the Nintendo seal of approval and the Rating Pending mark from the ESRB. In the bottom right of the image is the Ubisoft logo.

I bake really rarely, but I'm glad these cornbread muffins came out as nicely as they did. I do love a good muffin mix, because I don't have the patience for regular baking.
Cornbread muffins rest in a dark grey muffin tin. The muffins are a light golden brown and have only risen just above the lip of each muffin cup. The tray is stretched between a pale green countertop and the top of a white oven, and the shot is angled to show some of the off-white floor at the bottom right corner. On the oven, there are metal burner covers with scenes of painted still-lifes with wine. A green pot holder decorated with yellow flowers sits next to the muffin tray with a butter knife on top. In the top right corner, there is a loaf of bread wrapped in plastic and a pink measuring cup on the counter.

One last reminder before I go to bed, for those who didn't get everything they needed yesterday #thanksgiving
A character with black hair faces away from the viewer, pointed towards a bald character with gritted teeth and down-turned eyebrows. The bald one is aggressively gripping at the other character's shoulders, and has bulging veins around their hands and neck. The image has bold text at the top of the two characters heads that reads "DON'T BE THE REASON A RETAIL WORKER HAS A TERRIBLE DAY" and at the bottom of the screen it reads "GET THERE EARLY IF THERE'S SOMETHING YOU NEED TO BUY FOR THANKSGIVING AND BE NICE TO THEM"

What are 4 albums you would serve as an introduction to your taste?
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Official Soundtrack album cover. The image is square, showing a handsome blonde man, Link, with pointed ears and light blue eyes. He has sharp features, such as a pointed nose and dark eyelashes, and his blonde messy hair frames the sides of his face. He wears a green pointed cap, a high-collared white shirt and has hooped earnings. The image is stylized in a high contrast watercolor style with a pale tan background. At the top right of the image is the Nintendo Power logo and the bottom right shows the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess logo. To the right of Link's face, behind the logos are swirling and wavy patterns running down the side of the image that are reminiscent of patterns seen on lace fabrics. The Mystery Skulls Forever album cover. A square image that shows a pale feminine face with shadowed and obscured eyes and they wear bright red lipstick. The figure puffs out smoke from their slightly open mouth. The text centered above the nose and overlaps somewhat with the smoke, reading "Mystery Skulls Forever" Voltaire's To the Bottom of the Sea album cover. Shows a Pirate ship being overwhelmed by a giant squid on a stormy sea. The ship is being buffeted up by a wave and the crew is too small to see. The pirate flag is flown proudly in the of center of 1 of 3 masts. The illustration style is detailed gothic style. The color of the album is mostly sepia, but the text is in a blood red and reads: Voltaire To the Bottom of the Sea Julia Nunes's Setlle Down album cover. The image is square and has a gradient that goes from a rosey pink in the top right corner to an aqua blue in the bottom right. Julia is the subject of the image, set off center, to the left. Her eyes are closed and she has one hand gesturing to the viewer's right. Her expression is serene, mouth slightly open, hair waving gently, and she appears to be calmly dancing. Her top is a dark blue, sleeveless shirt with a low neckline. The album title is to the right of her eye-line and shoulder, reading: Julia Nunes Settle Down

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?
A Racoon is perched on the edge of a cushion, eyes reflecting bright light. It is hunched over in an aggressive stance, tail and fur puffed out to look larger. The body is viewed from the side but the face is pointed toward the viewer. The lighting is poor, showing little contrast in the animal's coat and has a warm grey, blurry background. At the bottom of the image, there is a yellow subtitle that reads "fuck being the bigger person, imma start biting people". Above the yellow subtitle there is a watermark with the text @ch0mkus

Been watching Yu Yu Hakusho with my husband for a few months, so Genkai comes to mind.
Two images of the same woman, Genkai from the anime Yu Yu Hakusho, layered so the larger image is from the shoulder up, and is to the left of the smaller image. Both versions of the figure are looking toward the viewer at a 3/4ths angle. She has pink hair, and in the larger image on the left she looks very young, perhaps her 20s, and the smaller image shows her in her 60s/ 70s. The image on the right has her in a half-body view, legs and arms poised in a battle stance. The outfit is similar in both images, showing a white undershirt with a belted tabard in red and navy. In the second image showing more of the body, her white pants are also visible. Her hair is longer, in a ponytail in the younger image, where it is mid back and wavy in the older version.

I have been shopping for pet products today & decided to check what pet brands are owned by known child-labor advocates Nestle & Mars. Since there are lots, I made a list of cat foods on Chewy that are not owned by them, at least in the wet food category.

If anyone makes a dog version, quote post!
A screenshot on a white background. Titled in bold black lettters reads Wet Cat Food Variety Packs. Below that are a list of Cat Foods in blue bubbles with an X at the end of each brand that include the following brands: Meow Mix, Made by Nacho, Kitten Chow, Instinct, I and Love and You, Inaba, Frisco, Cat Chow, Fancy Feast, Applaws, American Journey, BFF, Blue Buffalo, Almo Nature, 9 Lives, By Chewy, Nulo, Rachel Ray Nutrish, Stella & Chewy's, Wellness, Weruva, Wysong, Whole Life.

I can't find my favorite Raven smiling gif without using one of those gif maker sites but this one is still very cute.
A gif from Teen Titans episode "Hide and Seek". Raven hugs the new titans recruits, Melvin, Timmy and Teether, after having a a harrowing escape from an attack from Monsieur Mallah at night. She is clearly smiling, despite the smoking tank-like vehicle behind them in the background. The children embrace her warmly.

My cat Badger has almost the same facial pattern. I got him from a cat cafe.
A black and white cat stands stretching in front of a small rectangular rug with a mountainous nature scene. His eyes are mostly closed, only showing a hint of a light color. His front feet are cut off by the end of the frame, but his chest shows an orange name tag that is unreadalble due to the blurriness of the photo. Above his eyes, his fur is patchy in a triangular pattern reminiscent of eyebrows.

Another cat picture for the timeline before bed. Badger is sleepy too. #catsofbluesky #cats #animals
A tired looking black and white cat lays on his side next to crumpled, pale blue sheets on a bed. He has white whiskers, light colored eyes and one of his front paws turned so the viewer sees pink toe beans. He is turned such that his hind leg is toward the viewer and his head rests on the crumpled sheet.

I've retired my twitter for good, so I'm looking for some new people from twitter and tumblr to follow. I'm open to making new friends, especially if you like cartoons and cats.

Here is my cat, Badger, he is turning 8 later this month.
a black and white cat with his eyes closed and his hindquarters facing the camera. he extends one paw toward the edge of the mattress he is laying on. his tail is curled in towards his midsection. the bed has off-white sheets, a blue blanket and a crumpled purple shirt with some brown and pink lines visible next to him. at the foot of the bed to the right you can see a hamper with clothes in it and an open door. he has a bit of loose dander and dry skin or dust on the edges of his coat visible but he looks relaxed.
