I’d Rather Be a Mouse Than an Elf — Prismatic Wasteland
I love pretending to be an elf just as much as the next guy, but it pales in comparison to the joys of pretending to be a mouse with a sewing needle sword at my side.

Something I think about every fall is how the word “Trash” was originally an onomatopoeia
The earliest use of this word was to describe leaf litter—and I don’t know about you, but if you’ve ever kicked a pile of dry crunchy leaves, it says “trash”

I'm not at all familiar with Pikmin, but this is a really cool (and light) way of adding leveling and variation to Mouseritter hirelings.

Happy !...

I know these magazines from the 1950s are super problematic, but I love this campy sub-genre of pulp art where the same guy is just getting his ass kicked by every animal

Caught a snake at the school playground today!
One of the recess monitors pinned it down with her boots, then we ran out of ideas until I remembered I had leather gloves in my pocket
Chucked the little guy into a nearby prairie grass lot

As you step out of the dark dungeon hallway, into the safety of a small room, the heavy wooden door shuts behind you with the distinctive clank of a lock. You quickly realize your dog is not by your side, but scratching at the packed earth under the door…from the wrong side
