Screen capture of Heero and Duo from Gundam Wing. The text under Heero says, "I'm built different." The text under Duo responds with, "Yeah, incorrectly."

A screenshot of a Tumblr post. Tumblr user cursed-and-haunted: whenever I see an Ivan Aivazovaki painting the sea monster in me goes feral

The same user reblogs with a picture of one of the paintings in question, (I am reasonably sure it's "Ship on Stormy Seas") a dark sailing ship tossed among wild, vibrant blue waves. The text reads, "I see this and I've never wanted to sink a ship so much in my life I'm biting through wood as we speak"

A final reblog from OP reads, "god if I saw this in person I'd straight up start slithering. Start writhing"

A picture I took of a full waffle house diner mug I took in ohio. It's only artistic if you're a pretentious dbag like me who really fucking misses being able to go to WaHo whenever I want

A meme pic I screencapped when IG user luvsickplus reposted it: two absurd raccoons, one chonk puffed up and staring at you, the reader. The other looks like it's doing the twist. These two raccoons are clearly from wildly different sources and are photoshopped onto a purple-pink background with the text, "my brain is lacking but my ass is packing"

Bonus walk pics and a sleepy Newt

Green and yellow fall trees and a path covered in fallen leaves. A tree, at a nearly 90 degree angle, frames a partially hidden park bench overlooking Big Pond

A massive, shadowed cedar tree looms in the foreground, contrasting sharply with vibrant yellow and orange (and some lingering green) leaves in the background

A very picturesque dirt path, covered in fallen leaves, gently winds through rich green ferns and a myriad of trees in mid-leaf change, all under an overcast sky

Newt, orange floof, resting his face against mine, sleeping. Not captured, his little purr snores

A series of Halloween pics over the last week or so, including celebrating with my bestie on a nighttime river cruise, hitting up the Grand Gestures romance bookstore anniversary party with another bestie, and taking myself for a walk in the woods today 🎃🎃🎃🎃

I'm on a boat but no flippy floppies. Costume involves a lot of drapey black and green fabric and the desire to be a damp, vengeful river spirit for a river cruise. End result was a little more spoopy Stevie Nicks than anticipated

Close up of makeup (a black band of eyeliner and eyeshadow stylized with drips)

Really silly selfie of Halloween pt. 2, hitting up the romance bookstore party as the werewolf ex girlfriend she told you not to worry about. Big bi PNW vibes. Trying to show off my fangs but I kind of just look like a fuck boy.

Actual Halloween selfie of me in my natural habitat - the woods on a chilly fall day

And in typical fashion, that was a waste of both time and sleep. Reminder to self that I need to pay more attention to how my hair curls and also my hair should be longer for those curlers. Ah well.

Pulling out the ol' hot roller curlers for funsies. Pretty sure these are older than a good chunk of the folks I work with, doctors included.

We talk about having asbestos fingers for cooking but really, these are what you need asbestos fingers for.

An almost empty hot roller container. The missing hot rollers are poorly applied to my hair

Couldn't pick just one I'm afraid

Maybe 10? Minutes so quick for me lol. This gives the illusion that I'm put together but really I just didn't change out of my ballet outfit today

Quick draw outfit of the day on a physical sketchbook - fat girl with glasses, shirt hair pulled up, wearing a shrug over a long tank top, workout leggings under thigh high socks folded over to the knee. Fuzzy house slippers lol

Merry Christmas Eve it's the most wonderful time of the year, the annual viewing of Season 6, episode 6 of the X Files, "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas."

Two pairs of pajama-clad legs propped on a coffee table. In the background is a scene from the X-Files episode, "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas."

"You'll be visited by three spirits".

The three spirits:

Pittsburgh Penguins Sidney Crosby (holding the puck he got his 1600th point with), Evgeni Malkin (holding the puck he got his 500th goal with), and Kris Letang, pretending he's also holding a milestone puck with a cheese ball grin.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn't a selfie.

Meme-ified picture of the painting Madame Francois Buron by Jaques-Louis David, with the eyes slightly altered so she is looking down at her book, wide-eyed, instead of at the viewer.

Cat pic Friday, baybeeeee

Newt (big fluffy orange tabby), shuns the brain cell in favor of a nap in the window sill. He's half asleep on a folded up Pittsburgh Penguins blanket, head nearly upside down, and one eye barely open, staring at the camera.

Newt (big fluffy orange tabby), sits in his cat bed. He's got one arm flung out over the side, stretching towards the viewer, and blocking most of his face. He's definitely providing free toe beans.

Newt (big fluffy orange tabby), sits in his cat bed. We have a straight-on perspective of his arm stretching towards the viewer, and his dumb orange head looking at you, unimpressed. The toe beans are a little out of focus, but he's fluffy so it's harder to tell.

Friday cat pic postin'

Newt, a fluffy orange tabby, is in his cozy bed, one paw draped over the side. His head peeks out, and he's giving me an unimpressed look with one eye open and the other shut because I disturbed his nap.

Newt, orange tabby idiot, is sprawled across his bed and staring at the photographer, my partner. He's got his big floofy tail draped over one side of the cat bed and one insouciant back leg stretched out.

But at least it's beautiful out

A close up picture of a dwarf Japanese maple in striking golden colors planted at the corner of a building. There is a bright blue, nearly cloudless sky in the background.

Corner of a pale brick building with some type of ivy-like plant growing up it. The leaves are red and fiery orange, and there a mostly leafless tree in front of the tableau.

Another dwarf Japanese maple, with bright orange leaves shading into red. Behind it is a tree with shiny dark green leaves still and a building with green patina accents.

Three plants with two buildings framing them in the background and a clear blue sky. In the foreground is a large shrub, bright green. In the middle is a tree with deep red leaves, and peeking out from behind that tree is one with bright gold leaves. Together, they create a nice contrast of color, size, and texture.
