Full set of Blue Sky Hymnal, a half clear half blue dice set with a cloud inclusion within it.

Using goalie pads in place of one of those sex wedge pillows

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 12d

Or maybe "desexed" means they're not having the specific kind of sex the author would like?

Actually, for a show ostensibly about ice hockey – a sport that lends itself to rousing storytelling, as Inside Out 2 beautifully demonstrated – there’s curiously little of it on display here. Tierney seems more interested in the ambivalent thrill of down-low fucking than any exploration of masculinity or homoeroticism in sport. The guys don’t even use their uniforms when having sex – which I find highly improbable.

A digitally coloured pencil sketch of Thaisha and Caduceus from Critical Role. The two are shown having tea together, and it looks like they're just quietly enjoying it. The drawing is coloured with shades of peach and green.

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

My hand holding a shortbread cookie in the shape of an airplane. There are red sprinkles in the pattern of the survivorship bias plane.

Streets are saying If Books Could Kill is the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 of podcasts
www.vulture.com/article/cult...

What Sadie Sink Loved This Year in Culture

How about podcasts or video games?
If Books Could Kill. The two hosts have really good banter and conversation. They review famous airport books, these bestseller airport books, often a memoir or self-help books. I don’t know if there’s much fiction work that’s on there. They break them down, debunk them, or roast them in a way. A lot of it is like, Do they need a book?

A Bit Fruity. Matt Bernstein is the host. He is really intelligent. There’s political episodes, there’s pop-culture episodes. I’ve learned a lot listening to it. It’s a great way for me to keep up with what’s going on in the world but in a way that’s a little bit broader than something like The Daily, which I always love and listen to. Matt is in his 20s, and he makes it a very educational listen while also not feeling like you’re being lectured in any way. It’s a good blend.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I’m playing now and loving it.

rewatched the wedding one-shot with a friend last weekend. it keeps being funny i'm afraid

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #FjoresterWedding

a sketch illustration of an exchange between Caleb and Essek, from the Jester and Fjord's wedding one-shot of Critical Role. Caleb is looking extremely disheveled, with hay sticking out of his cow-licked hair; next to him, Essek is slightly more put-together, wearing a robe and smudged dark eye shadow, his hair up in a messy bun.
Caleb is leaning down to excitedly whisper to Essek, "Essek, you could finally meet Pock O'Pea!". Essek is looking away with barely concealed annoyance, saying, "I'm looking forward to it. You have said so much about this strange gnarled man".
below them, there are two notes next to reference marks. the one below Caleb says "got so shit-faced the previous night he completely forgot that Essek has already met Chetney". the note below Essek reads "has absolutely NOT forgotten Chetney roasting him every chance he got".

This is not the worst book we've ever read but it is the meanest episode we've ever done.

Episode 46: Sapiens

It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.

you can't tell me this did not happen at some point at Fjord's bachelor party
#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleSpoilers

sketchy digital re-draw of a meme featuring Beauregard, Fjord and Caleb from Critical Role. Beau is standing in the foreground chugging a bottle of wine, her spectacular abs as always on display, while Fjord and Caleb are drunkenly making out in the background. the composition is slightly off-center to match the original photo's sense of chaotic candidness.

Essek and Caleb at Jester and Fjord's wedding party, k-i-s-s-i-n-g

#CriticalRole #CriticalRoleFanArt #CriticalRoleSpoilers #shadowgast

digital fan art of Essek and Caleb from Critical Role, at Jester and Fjord's wedding, sitting on a bench and kissing.
Essek is a young-looking slender dark elf with light lavender skin and shoulder-length white hair, which is artfully curled and pinned back. Caleb is a light-skinned thin human in his early forties, with auburn chin-length wavy hair and a full beard.
they are both dressed in formal clothing, cream and light pink to match the colors Jester had picked for her wedding. Essek is wearing a silk shirt with bishop sleeves and a straight neckline that exposes his neck and a wide pearl choker; he also has slacks on, short enough to reveal his boots with metal toe-tips, as well as a coat made of thick matte fabric, with wide geometric shoulders and layered hanging sleeves. it is caught at the waist with a wide sash, the coat's two floral frog closures open. Caleb is dressed in form-fitting pants tucked into white boots, a leather strap around one of his thighs. he has a long-sleeved shirt on under a light pink sleeveless coat made of delicate floral brocade. there is a large white flower tucked behind his ear. both of them are wearing a bit of make-up: Essek has white lipstick on his bottom lip, and Caleb's eyes are accentuated with fiery red eyeshadow.
they are sitting on a bench outside, leaning into each other, Essek placing a kiss on the corner of Caleb's mouth. Essek's left hand is guiding Caleb's chin towards him with a delicate finger, while his right is resting in Caleb's left. there is a flowering branch above them, soft pink petals lying on the white cobbled stones beneath their feet. the ocean is visible behind them, the setting sun shining right behind the couple's heads, illuminating them in warm orange glow.
