... she's got that dog in her, doesn't she?
The same doll as before. Her updo has disappeared and she now has the head of a black wolf with yellow eyes. She is leaning on a chair arm and appears to be coming for the viewer. A close-up of the wolf head, showing off the gold eyes and the brown nose on the snout.

Okay, okay, okay. I am still doing the write-up on her, but I wanted to post these pictures before I go to the farmers market with my friend. Meet Margaret "Mags" Holt, played by the incomparable @lizxcampbell.bsky.social on @realmspod.bsky.social's Liminal London series!
A crocheted doll of Mags Holt, a white woman with peach skin, brown hair, and brown eyes, wearing a strappy red asymmetrical hem dress, black high heels, and dark tan pantyhose. She has a rose in her hair and is smiling. A close-up of the doll's face.

Now the thing about the podcast is...Maddie is possessed by Mina's ghost.

So this is actually one single doll.
The crocheted doll with the skirt folded up to the waist, showing that Maddie and Mina are two halves of the same doll joined at the waist.

I know, I know, long time no post...but it's baseball season, which means the Blorbo Project is back on! Today I bring you Maddie Townsend and Mina Harker from @theholmwoodfnd.bsky.social
A crocheted doll of Maddie Townsend, a white woman with fair skin, yellow blonde hair, and blue eyes. She is wearing a turquoise skirt and blouse with a navy blue belt. The same doll seen from the side. A crocheted doll of Mina Harker from The Holmwood Foundation. She is a white woman with slightly tanned skin, reddish-brown hair, and blue eyes wearing a navy blue high-necked dress with a turquoise sash and ruffle. The same doll seen from the side, displaying her elegant updo.

Also worth noting: Cloaks make excellent travel blankets.
A black velvet cloak with silver moons in various phases printed on it tucked over the photographer's legs. It is folded over at the top, exposing an iridescent dark blue dragon scale lining.

Clearly this year's Christmas present is a sign I need to take my copy of Dragon Dowser on this train trip I'm about to to take.
Two small ceramic dragons on a box. One is light green with big eyes and a hand under its chin, looking pleadingly up at the camera. The other is a tiny pale blue and purple thing sitting on its haunches and holding an orb.

Stopgap Ace, reporting for duty! I'm helping out a friend with their haunted pirate cave this weekend (they were shorthanded anyway, but there's a bug going around and they JUST lost six more).
A picture of Ollie, a fat white person in a purple pirate shirt, orange-brown pants, brown boots, a green sash embroidered in red and orange around their waist, a bandana printed with anatomy diagrams, round glasses, and a beard. They are drawing a dagger from a scab hard and taking a step towards the camera.

I can think of no better way to describe myself than that at the church yard sale today, I bought three sets of knitting needles and the foundation for my next burlesque routine.
A pair of red high heels with cutout platform soles and a buckle strap at the ankle.

I seem to have an inadvertent color scheme going here. I guess that's what happens when 99% of the podcasts you listen to are horror or horror-adjacent.
A laptop lid with eleven stickers on it, arranged in three rows with space at the end of each to add more. Most are in various shades of black, red, and purple, with two in blue and one in green.

IT'S PITCRAWLER!!!

I forgot how much I was getting. 😂 Thanks, @macguffinandco.bsky.social - I can't wait to find some sucker to play with me!
A pile of books for the PITCRAWLER TTRPG system, consisting of the core book, a black campaign journal, a pad of adventurer sheets, and four modules. "Hunt for the Enchanted Isles" is blue, "Wrath of the Bitter Palace" is pink, "Betrayal at the Hidden Mountain" is green, and "The Midnight Festival of the Sea" is black. The cover of "Hunt for the Enchanted Isles" has an ink drawing of a treasure chest with teeth, tongue, and feet. The PITCRAWLER core book, a black matte hardcover with the title in a font similar to the Dungeons and Dragons font in red outlined in gold. It has white line art depicting a little torch and a red ribbon bookmark.

Since they're the only ones I've done who are explicitly queer, I decided to bring Alice, Hux, and Azu to Pride with me today.
Three crocheted dolls in a pale blue bag with a rainbow heart and the words "Take Pride" superimposed on it, sitting on a black metal bench in front of a pink rosebush. Left to right is Alice Dyer, a trans woman with orange hair with a purple streak, pale peach skin, brown safety eyes, pale green glasses, and a hot pink smile; Dr. Aster Huxley, a gay trans man with black hair, light brown skin, black embroidered eyes, and a white lab coat; and Azu, a bisexual orc with dark brown skin, pointed ears, embroidered light brown eyes, and a smile with a broken fang.

Anyone reading promise right now will probably understand why this sentence is my Duolingo practice caught me off guard tonight.
A screenshot of a Duolingo lesson asking the user to translate the Welsh sentence "Mae pum copyn yn y ddesg." The sentence has been correctly translated into English as "Thee are five spiders in the desk."

Two days late for #TransDayofVisibility, but I'm still here. I've been out as nonbinary for three years, stopped shaving two years ago, and got my name legally changed one year ago. And with the haircut, glasses, and beard I've always wanted, I finally look and feel like myself.
A photo of the user, a fat nonbinary white person with light brown hair in an Eton cut, a clipped brown-blonde beard and mustache, round silver glasses, and a purple long-sleeved t-shirt with the Fear Wheel from The Magnus Archives in green on the front. They are smiling a smile that shows their teeth, which are slightly crooked.

Ooh, my first time posting one of these here! Meet Montgomery "Three-Card Monty" Barker from @realmspod.bsky.social's Liminal London series, as played by @naomithinksit.bsky.social. (He has magnets in his hands so he can give hugs.)

Not the most flattering of angles, but my mom got some action shots of me Twisting Again.
A blurry picture of the user in yellow shirt, green poodle skirt, and brown cardigan doing the Twist A group shot of several elderly ladies, a balding man, and the user doing the Twist on a ballroom floor. The same group doing the Twist. Ollie is Twisting towards the camera with their fists clenched.

They are wearing a yellow button-up blouse, brown cardigan, a green felt poodle skirt with a seahorse applique and baseball buttons down the side, and black penny loafers.

Just organized all my physical TTRPG sourcebooks that are currently in my possession. I may have a slight Kickstarter addiction.
Six stacked cardboard boxes and a metal tin with the Barrow & Locke logo from Old Gods of Appalachia (a black miner's helmet with a pick and shovel crossed behind it on a white background). All the boxes are approximately one foot wide and between three and eight inches deep.

Please enjoy this picture of my cat curled up on top of my mother's pirate gear, using a 2-liter water bottle as a pillow.

Without downloading any new pics, what's your energy going into 2024?
Four framed cross stitch projects. Clockwise from top right, they read "Remember: bird watching goes both ways", "I was born with the gift of hands and I'm going to make that everyone else's problem", "Quick! Bring in the bisexuals", and "Heroism involves kindness, dipshit".

Pro tip for fanfic writers: Never tell your readers about a potential plot idea, let alone ask them to talk you out of writing it. That's how you end up scribbling non-work related notes on a sticky pad during a meeting for something you won't be working on for several months at least.

Obligatory birthday selfie.
A fat white person with purple hair and a purple beard, tinted round glasses, a grey turtleneck sweatshirt, a half-hidden tree of life necklace, and two buttons, one of which says Ollie and the other of which says they them.
