More pictures besides my ridiculous face. I’m leaving out group shots, but you can see those on @spryfox.bsky.social’s posts. Cannot stress enough how much i love this game and how gorgeous it is.
Screenshots from a video game. My avatar, a white masc human, sitting on a large rock outcropping. Behind them is a rock pillar; above them the full moon rises against a starry sky streaked with wisps of clouds. My avatar sitting in front of a statue of a spirit; it is black, somewhat cylindrical but rounded at the top, with a red face and a white cloth wrapped around its neck. The statue stands in a small grassy courtyard against a tall wooden wall. My avatar sitting in a bed in an open air covered structure. What walls there are are painted with a starry pattern. The structure is so high up that all you can see through the openings are mountains and clouds. My avatar standing on an outcropping next to a sheared fluffalo, an animal that is a cross between a buffalo, a llama and a sheep, that can fly.

This game has been an amazing antidote to The Horrors. If you’re looking for a cozy game with community, Spirit Crossing is lovely and you should join us! (Come to tell me how much i look like my dad, lmao, stay for the amazing Ghibli vibes)
Screenshot from a video game of a white character wearing a slate blue sleeveless shirt with a stylized dark blue flower on their chest and a dark blue bandanna knitted around their neck. They have messy dark hair and a mustache and are also wearing a backpack and safety glasses. Behind them is a sunset-limned mountain and clouds, as well as a blue glowing beacon.

Somebody’s sixty-something parents are at this show and it’s the cutest fucking thing, y’all
View from behind of a man and woman in their sixties sitting in chairs at a standing room punk show in the back of a bar. The chairs are lit red by the lights, and the rest of the room is bathed in green lights and black shadows.

Only using food, where are you from?
A fried pork tenderloin sandwich that is literally bigger than the platter it’s served on. Atop it is a bun, so absurdly dwarfed by the tenderloin that it looks like a cute lil hat.

A lot is going on in the world, but this little bean is fifteen years old today, and still one of the best things to ever happen to me. Happy birthday, Franklin Rottenbutt. <3

“but uncle k8,” you may ask, “why was the bread in the microwave?”

first of all, it wasn’t just bread. second of all, let me remind you of the time my dog unwrapped sixteen individually wrapped croissants and ate them.

or this bag of flour she murdered this week.
A box with the outer bag and then sixteen empty chocolate croissant wrappers. A bag of flour ripped open on a grey kitchen floor

overtired and overdue for a haircut, and wondering if there isn’t some sort of 50s James Dean/Brandoesque hairstyle trying to claw its way out. (i feel due for a change…)

(there is an easter egg in this image for @strangetree.emilydare.net… answer in alt text)
a white genderqueer person in a blue undershirt taking a picture of themself in a bathroom mirror. their hair is a tousled, overgrown undercut. their toothbrush hangs out of their mouth in an imitation of a tough guy’s cigarette, matched by the dubious imitation of a tough guy’s skeptical look on their face. they are holding a fabulous rainbow-on-outer-space phone case in their hand, taking the picture. barely visible behind them is a ridiculous stuffed animal elephant named Dean Famularo, although only a couple of people will understand that. suffice to say it is a ridiculous creature.

When your wife is asleep on you and you suddenly feel like you’re being watched:
A black cat perched on the arm of a chair facing the bed. Behind him are an orrery on an end table and a handful of art prints and embroidery on the wall. His eyes aren’t visible, but one white whisker is.

It’s organ time, baybeeeeeeee
An organ console, a chair, a music stand and a microphone on an otherwise empty stage. Above and behind the stage are the organ pipes, arranged in two overlapping sine curves to great effect. There are modern balconies to either side.

get a rescue, they said. it’ll be fun, they said.

they never mentioned the fact that she’d be motivated enough to unwrap sixteen individual chocolate croissants…

(she’s fine. might have some tummy upset coming, but at least it wasn’t a lethal amount of chocolate.)
a cardboard box with the remains of sixteen individual plastic wrappers and a torn open larger bag that once held that many chocolate croissants
