Had the final session for my first D&D game in years, and I had forgotten how invigorating and fun it was, despite a few interruptions (my cat trying to fight another cat through a window during a tense combat round and getting messages about someone causing trouble in a show I'm working on)

Day 10 of #MÖRKTOBER is Beetle! A Sturdy and twitching pendant prevents damage! After every defense, a leg is lost! But those who beetle charm too frivolously may have to answer to the horrible creature that procures these strange pendants and be used as jewelry themselves!

Friendly Anti AI reminder to not buy any Turtles chocolate (produced by Nestle in Canada, who we already know is evil) this holiday or ever because they’re the company next in line having an incredibly shitty AI commercial

the animation is simple but so smooth and bouncy and so dang effective.
I'm totally focusing on just the animation and the cool music, I'm not sharing this because the lyrics are hitting really hard right now, no way. youtu.be/G9nUIpRZvc8?...

I can't sleep because I'm grinding my teeth and vibrating with anger. A weighted blanket is not enough at this point. I need a hydraulic press to turn me into a fucking panini before I dislocate something from all this tossing and turning.

The vibe I bring to the function:

A photo of Tom Waits as the Devil in the movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnasus. He's wearing a black bowler hat, a black wool coat with a flight fur collar. He's smoking a cigarette with a cigarette holder and holding a bring red apple.

Very happy with how this outfit is looking so far. No idea if the gradients will be visible in the venue, but I'm excited to look like if Satan were a 1930s mafia boss.
