The cat just hid in the tv stand and it looked like a goddamn evil entity in there

A picture of a cabinet that makes up our tv stand. In the dark behind a row of video games is only a pair of glowing green eyes and black space-it’s my cat Kiki

Never in a billion years did I think I’d be a cozy gamer but Stardew Valley is amazing. I’ll get back to my high octane shit eventually but it’s nice having something relaxing to play too. Going to the Stardew concert and meeting Concerned Ape totally sold me on it and I’m so happy I’m trying it!

Amazing! I’ll just be attending for fun next week but the booth will return the last two weekends of October and you’re more than welcome to stop by any time!

Too much horrible stuff in your timeline? I give you my son’s cat Root Beer, absolutely sick of his shit and his obsession with dumb hats. 😂

She looks like the Keebler elf.

Close up of Root Beer. Not happy. Traumatized.

About to get into MIVS judging for MAGfest 2026! This is my third year helping out and I have started really looking forward to this time of year. I love testing them and seeing the crazy effort people have put into developing these games and getting to see them in the Indie showcase each year.

Day would not be complete without a pre-Faire bathroom selfie of my full look. Shoot that cannon and bring the people in!

A bathroom mirror selfie of me in my Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire garb. I am wearing a rust brown skirt, a warm red bodice with a cream top under it and a red shawl. On my head I have a headband with gold antlers and red and gold flowers. Around my neck I am wearing a citrine quartz on a gold chain

Driving up some backwoods ass road and saw an older masc person cruising down the road on a razor scooter with a long grey beard wearing a navy dress with red suspenders and a furry fox tail. Life goals.

Forgot to post because I got a weird small sick afterward, but made it to the Lunar Faire for the first time this last weekend! Definitely want to go again! I got a $2 vertebrae for my stuff shelf and saw tons of cool people doing witchy things

A crappy mirror selfie of my outfit for Lunar Faire. I am standing in my room and wearing a floor length dress that is light blue with large abstract pink, white, and coral flowers as the print. Over the dress I am wearing a long wearable scarf looking thing which I love because it is extremely soft. On my head I am wearing a headband with orange and red flowers and deer antlers as the event was animal themed this month. I am wearing a citrine rock on a gold chain around my neck.

A picture of a drink I got at Lunar Faire, held in my hand- the Little Tarot-tini. It is a purple drink with blueberries and a basil leaf floating on top and a small tarot card-I got the three of cups

I love when people are passionate about stuff and pour their hearts into it and it really, really shows in this one. That was a hell of a design team and I hope they’re all very proud of their work.

I love finding things like this, whether they’re right or wrong and that one was really funny. Getting lost in the details of a highly detailed game world is one of my absolute favorite things to do.

If anyone is involved in game environment design and wonders if anyone ever notices the details of their work, hi, it’s me. I’m going through Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 for the first time and loving the effort put in. The sub sandwich menu sign has the wrong descriptions though lol

A screenshot from Insomniac’s video game Spider-Man 2. Spider-Man is clinging to the window of an apartment. A person has been animated sitting inside their fully furnished apartment sitting on the couch.

A screenshot of a menu from the video game Spider-Man 2. The section is labeled “subs” but incorrectly describes hot dogs instead.

The menu reads as follows:
SUBS
COLD
Italian Sub
NEW YORK STYLE CLASSIC HOT DOG. PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR KETCHUP, WE WILL BE RUDE TO YOU. $6.9
Turkey Sub
HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE UPON A HOT DOG? WELL, YOU CAN ADD THINGS ON TOP. WHY NOT ADD CHILLI? EVERYBODY LOVES CHILLI! $8.9
Tuna Sub

Meatball Sub
NEW YORK STYLE CLASS/C HOT DOG. PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR KETCHUP, WE WILL BE RUDE TO YOU. $6.91
Cheesesteak Sub
HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE UPON A HOT DOG? WELL, YOU CAN ADD THINGS ON TOP. WHY NOT ADD CHILLI? EVERYBODY LOVES CHILL!! $8.95

A screenshot from the video game Spider-Man 2 showing Spider-Man standing in an arcade in front of of a whack-a-mole inspired game called Hydra Head Hitters. There are three game stations. Each is primarily orange and features cartoon pictures of a red hydra. It has a long snakey neck and is posed making silly faces.

A picture of me from the back facing the tv screen to better read a menu in Insomniac’s Spider-Man 2 video game. I have parked Spider-Man as close as the game will allow me to try to see the detail of the text. Where I currently have Spider-Man parked, the menu lists left to right coffee, Gyros- a beef gyro, a chicken gyro, and a lamb gyro, and pizza- cheese, pepperoni, Italian sausage, and mushroom.
If you stand very close to the tv, each menu item also has a description but they are not legible from the distance the picture was taken.

It’s gotcha day to my baby cat Killian, Kiki for short so here she is today. I’m obsessed with her, and she is perfect. I can’t believe I’ve had her for three years. I had no idea what loyal and devoted animals cats could be until I met her. She’s made my life better every day she’s been around.

A picture of Kiki, a small black cat with bit yellow eyes standing on our tile basement floor by her food bowl with bits of her tube goo treat smeared all over her face.

A picture I took from above looking down at Kiki the black cat sleeping curled up between my legs and butt with one arm outstretched resting on my hip like she’s hugging me.

A picture of me wearing a floral print dress curled up, with Kiki the black cat curled up between my legs and butt. One of her arms is extended and resting on my hip like she’s hugging me

It’s ren fair prep time!!
I’ve picked up this super cool bodice from TheGreenDragonfly76 and horns from RavensReignDesigns on Etsy and I’m super excited to wear them!

I’m assisting @itsembyrrose.bsky.social at PA Ren Fair! Sep 6/7 and Oct 18/19 and 25/26. I plan to go for just fun weekends too

A photo of me from about my head to my knees in one of my renaissance fair outfits that I’m building this season. I have a light tan shirt with a deep copper colored bodice that laces in the front and a long rust brown skirt. I am wearing a braided thin brown leather belt with skirt hitches, an orange worm on a string I received last year and now hang from my belt and a red and black leather bag which attaches to the belt. My hair is red, shoulder length, and layered. I have a tattoo visible on my right forearm (our left looking at it) which is an abstract compass with a Paragon wing from Mass Effect and planet and floral motifs. In my left hand (our right viewing it) I am holding my replica of Anduril, Aragorn’s sword from Lord of the Rings, which was gifted to me by my partner GawkingGeek, and of which I am very proud. The sword is so long it comes up to my chest when I rest the tip on the ground but I’m holding it up a little so it’s shoulder height. I am standing in my bedroom. The walls are sky blue and in the background I have black curtains with large abstract many colored floral patterns and my big wooden dresser.

A photo of me in an outfit I’m gearing up for this season’s ren fair, from my head to a bit above my knees. I wore it last year but I’m always adding to my builds. I am wearing a halter neck dragon scale maille top which has red, orange, gold, and silver scales. I am wearing a rust skirt low on my hips with a fancy belly dancing scarf with little coins that jingle when I move. I am wearing gold bands around my upper arms. I have shoulder length layered copper red hair and am wearing a pair of pointed orange horns on my head mixed into my hair to be a bit more natural. For fair day I will probably try to do some more styling. I am holding the skirt out a bit with my arms down and slightly outstretched and you can see both forearm tattoos, space themed abstract compass with a paragon wing from Mass Effect on the right (our left) and an Evenstar from the Lord of the Rings movies on my left (our right). I’m standing in my bedroom. The walls are sky blue and I have black curtains with many colored abstract floral patterns.

Finished our vacation and it was just what I needed. I made it up to the beach, watched the sunset in my favorite spot on the jetty, and finally have this painting almost finished. I’m in the final details now, I can feel it! Excellent week with wonderful friends and partners.

Me in a bikini! It is a soft coral-orange in color with an almost fishnet texture. It is a triangular halter top that ties around the neck and behind the back and matching bottoms that tie on the sides. This is a selfie take. From a high angle which shows me from my head to about my hips. My hair is shoulder length and copper red. I have large brown eyes and am smiling. I have a really nice smile because my parents made me wear braces for years, like all of middle school, and even though it sucked I’m grateful cause I got crazy good teeth out of it.

I’m standing in my Cape May house bedroom in front of my massive California king bed I got to sleep on. Some nights I had company and some I got to starfish on their all by myself-it’s so big you can spread all the way out.

The sunset at Cape May Point as seen from my favorite spot out on the jetty, which is a huge pile of moss covered rocks that juts out from the beach into the ocean. The sun is in the far distance and the sky is orange fading to blue above with a lavender purple-grey haze on the horizon. In the foreground are some of said large green moss covered rocks and in the middle is ocean out to the horizon. It is very still and calm with almost no waves at all like a giant lake with a light breeze.

The latest update of my hand painting which I’ve been working on for a year now on and off. It is of a hand made of space dust and stars with colors and light bursting out of it in many directions like tentacles. The hand is primarily shades of orange with pale blue and white light where the veins would be. A glow emanates from the hand. Along the lifeline of the palm the light bursts out of the hand into multiple streams, shooting off upwards and spreading out. They are many colored-some green, yellow, orange, shades of pink, blue, teal and lavender and full of stars. In the background is black outer space with white stars.
