Despite the presence of kittens in the house, we're officially back to equilibrium: Malice and Vice are back in their thrones and all is right in the world.

Does Vice always take the right side and Malice the left or do they swap occasionally

It's the chairs, not the sides-- that's a his-and-hers set and for whatever reason they assigned themselves to the correct seats for their genders. If I swap the positions of the chairs, Vice will still take the his and Malice well take hers.

thinking about that kakapo egg that got crushed but the conservation team patched it up and it survived

life will persist against all odds

For those who don’t follow kakapo conservation, they are critically endangered parrots who only breed on years where the rimu tree they rely on meet a certain threshold of fruit production. One breeding season in 4 years can be typical, and about half of all eggs laid by kakapo are infertile (they still aren’t completely certain why, it could be a recent population bottleneck) so each fertile egg is worth its weight in gold.

This was one of only 5 fertile eggs laid on the Whenua Hou island population in the 2014 breeding season and it got crushed by its mother on accident. It was mended with glue and tape and incubated by the rangers until hatching.

At 150 days old kakapo chicks are officially added to the population total and given a unique name, until then they are given their mother’s name and a number for birth order laid in the clutch. This chick was known as Lisa-one before officially being given the name Ruapuke by local indigenous Ngai Tahu people.Here he is grown up:

underrated lotr moment is gandalf’s “let me risk a little more light” so the fellowship can see the ruins of dwarrowdelf.

idk what it is idk how to put it into words but like. such a quick and quiet little moment of, recognizing we’re all in constant mortal peril but while we’re here you should still witness the wonders of the world. while we are here, though it may be on a life-threatening quest, you deserve a little tourist moment. soak it in, the great city that remains long-abandoned and nearly forgotten, the grand pillars that outlived the memories of those who built them. so much of love and life is fleeting in this dark age. but the scraps of it can still be found. the remnants are still here, and even with significant risk they deseve to be beheld.

And Howard Shore went “Do it, Mithrandir, I’ve got your back.” 

#and when you consider that this comes after gimli talked at length about the glory of khazad-dum and the place it holds in their history #and then got there to find it abandoned and shattered and filled with goblins and the bodies of his kin #it's this moment of almost like... affirmation? #no you were not wrong to speak of it this way; yes it is as glorious as you have heard and more #countless dwarves fought and died for this place; it is worth the risk to see what they died for; why they believed it *worth* dying for #gimli is the only dwarf on the quest and in that moment the rest of the fellowship get to see that the creations of his people #are EVERY BIT as spectacular and awe-inspiring as those of elves and men #the movies did gimli wrong in a lot of ways but they NAILED this bit @arafinwes

I love them your honor

Every time I see companies selling """punk""" jewellery or clothing I become apoplectic with rage. Just saw a £65 padlock necklace advertised to me bitch Fuck you go to your nearest weird little shop that sells everything in the world including fake Rolexes and bongs the size of a toddler. Buy a thing of chain and a padlock. Borrow some bolt cutters someone you know will probably own some and if not get some cheap ones or borrow from a local tool library. Slap em together. Maximum cost £30 and that's MAXIMUM that's assuming you bought over a metre of expensive heavy chain AND bought the bolt cutters. You can do it for under a fiver with a wallet chain and pliers. I still wear a necklace I made when I was 15 out of a wallet chain and pliers and a padlock I got in a set of 3 from poundland. If the issue is dexterity or otherwise disability related then find a friend and swap a favour with them it'll still be cheaper than these scamming poser companies and will help you build community and share resources. Something which is actually punk. Fuckin. Capitalist posers

Important to keep in mind there's a distinction here between 'someone who paints and sells patches in their own small business' (cool, craftsmanship, usually very fairly priced for materials and labour while still affordable for punks who don't have that skillset to buy, honestly not a category far removed from 'if you buy me lunch I can paint your jacket' exchanges) and big companies who charge extortionate prices for something that's supposed to be counterculture, paying staff minimum wage and making huge profits the workers will never see a penny of (cunts)

he thinks he's being so smooth with his little face on my leg. i SEE you, villain

I got an ask that disappeared at some point, about my existential crisis possum mug being wrecked and if I was making another.

this mug, I assume:

I did make a copy of this one, but forgot to take pictures lol. it’s still slowly drying on my shelf

I also carved a canine take on the mug too:

and I made an entirely different existential crisis possum mug just for fun

NO YOU CANT POST THIS AND NOT LET US KNOW HOW TO LEARN HOW TO DO THIS SHIT

what do I need to know

do you actually want a walkthrough of the process? cause I can do that lol

The entire CR cast walked out with Marisha in formation and cultist robes and it was honestly one of the coolest walkouts of the show. Travis presented her with a giant sword. You could see pure pride on all of their faces.

Barriss Offee is one of the most bizarrely intriguing characters I’ve ever seen. She has gifted kid burnout so bad she became a murderer. She’s Ahsoka’s gay best frenemy. They are exes who went through a bad breakup. They never dated. She lives in Ahsoka’s head rent-free for at least two years afterwards. She got traumatized on Geonosis, then resolved to face her fear, went back to Geonosis, and got double traumatized with a side of brain damage. Everyone thinks she’s green even though she’s yellow. Her diabolical plot fell apart because she told her co-conspirator how cool Ahsoka is. She speaks in six episodes. Her plotline has been left unresolved for ten years.

She’s an expert healer who’s greatest joy comes from saving lives. She somehow knows Force Choke. She’s a sweet girl who introduces herself by curtsying. She probably taught herself Force Choke. She wears a belt buckle with a big heart on it. She witnessed some of the ugliest battles of the Clone Wars. Jedi children get excited to see her. There was a comic where she tried and failed to protect a society of Furbies. There was a Legends novel where she got high as balls on medicinal space THC and tasted the universe. She uses her lightsaber to cut square holes. Literally nobody else does that. She’s afraid if she doesn’t go into battle, she’ll get a bad grade in war crimes. There’s obviously a lot wrong with her but everyone who notices either decides it’s not their problem, or says something to make her feel worse.

Yeah, the “snack player” is cool and all, but what about the “DM wedding officiant player”?
