After getting the Lethal palette I quickly determined it was too much to travel with and transferred the purple blush, green highlight, and six eyeshadows into a smaller magnetic palette. Since replacing the purple blush this year, I've moved to these two smaller magnetic palettes
Photo of two makeup palettes. Both are Makeup Forever magnetic palettes that have been filled with Lethal Cosmetics pans, one highlight and four eyeshadows in each. One palette contains greens and blue-purples, while the other has neutrals and rose-purples.

I've had my custom Lethal palette for three years. This year, I finally had to replace my first pan: the purple blush. I reassembled the whole palette into the same configuration as the photo in the quoted tweet from when it was new so you can see the difference three years made.
Photo of a custom makeup palette containing 12 pans of eyeshadow, 2 blush, and 2 highlights. The eyeshadow pans are smaller (about 1/3) the size of the larger blush and highlight pans. The pans have varying levels of dips in the pigment, showing which colours have been used the most. A purple blush is almost entirely used up, a green highlight has a significant dent with the metal pan visible below, and two eyeshadows, a green and a purple, only show powder around the edges. Five total eyeshadows have varying levels of pan visible.

playing urban shadows
A screenshot of a portion of the Urban Shadows 2 character sheet for the Fey playbook. It presents 4 options for a rival, each with a checkbox. The options are: "a jealous sibling; you owe them a Debt for their loyalty a former lover; you owe them a Debt for their kindness an old mentor; you owe them a Debt for their tutelage a contemptuous peer; you owe them a Debt for their patience." The box for the last option, a contemptuous peer, is checked. Beneath this, notes read: "Gathan Honeysong, Earl of Chimecaster Has dominion over songbirds, sunshowers, contentment with simple pleasures. Gathlan and I are embroiled in a complicated fey scheme which I am not fulfilling my duties to further bc I am too busy emerging from a mirror in a public restroom"

Hotel Mira, the band that opened for Our Lady Peace and Collective Soul earlier this year, came back through Winnipeg so I got to see them twice in one year! They put on a really fantastic show, check them out if their tour comes near you. Tickets for the show here were only something like $30
Photo of the band Hotel Mira on stage from taken from a handful of rows away from the stage; the bottom of the photo includes the backs of peoples' heads. On stage, the band is illuminated by multiple coloured lights. Charlie Kerr, center stage, sings into the microphone with his eyes closed and hand pressed against his chest.

If Tina Burner, Scarlet Envy, and Alexis Michelle's Witch Perfect hasn't been to your city yet and you can still get tickets, it was really good.

decisions have been made (sad about the lack of a kubota weeks this year but it's okay, I think it's good new artists continue to be featured)

"En Route to Kumamoto Port at Dawn" Weeks, a tall wallet-size notebook with a pastel illustration of a sunrise over the water 2. iyo okumi A6 Clear Floder Set, three A6-sized folders with coloured pencil illustrations of a bed in a vibrant garden, a tall mountain obscured by clouds, and a snowy night. 3.

gencon haul 2025. was kinda funny walking through the artist alley browsing the other booths after buying that floating tree print and all the artists are remarking on how the print I'm holding matches my hair exactly
Photo of multiple art prints, a set of dice from Dispel Dice, one book (Bluebeard's Bride), and a pair of socks (also from Dispel Dice) arranged on a table, with jess' GenCon badge at the center. The art prints are predominantly blue, purple, and green in colour, and several include cats.

The GenCon logo and Roll For Combat logos appear in the upper left corner. A picture of jess appears beneath them.

idk if this thread will actually be useful to anyone, I think it's clear the product image for my silver one shows features that align more closely with the gold one than the item I actually received, so checking product images for details like ring width may still lead to inferior items.
Product image of the silver hand jewelry featured up thread. Some features align with the item jess received, while others are different.

It can be challenging to make out but the finger lengths of the silver one are perfectly symmetrical, vs on the gold one they are not. When worn on my left hand, the pinky finger has a shorter bone connecting to the ring than the thumb has.

Pictured on the left is the new jewelry I obtained from Temu for $4 CAD. On the right is my exiting jewelry, obtained from Dolls Kill (they no longer carry it). I would not ordinarily order anything on Temu, but if I was going to order a bad dropshipped item, I was not keen to spend a lot on it.

I have this piece of hand jewelry that people often have questions about. Items like it appear frequently on drop shipping sites, and as I recently attempted to acquire a second one in silver, I now have some advice on what features set apart a nice one from a bad one.

THE GARMENT IN QUESTION
A product image of a model wearing a tshirt dress, cropped to remove the model's face and lower legs. Most of the shirt dress is covered by a character illustration (the Lady of Pain, a woman with a spiky iron spike face), but the design does not cover the entire garment. Instead, the sleeves are black with an ornate gold border separating the sleeves from the printed image. The bottom, beneath the character, is also black, and is not decorated by the golden border design.
