Vulcan calligraphy project!

My bestie is writing a David/Saavik fic and had the idea that the marriage contract would be written down in calligraphy. Whether this is an elaborate pretext to make me happy by giving me calligraphy to do, the world will never know, but I did it. The translation is mostly cadged from Reddit (V'Los's comment struck me as the most correct; their extrapolations of what the passive voice should be are probably correct) with additions of my own to fill out the text.

Saavik, parted from me and never parted, never and always touching and touched. We meet at the appointed place.

Saavik-- dahshalik s’nash-veh eh worla dahshalik - worla eh kwon-sum estuhlanik heh estuhlalik. Ragel-tor etek na’shi kru'minaakhalik.

David, parted from me and never parted, never and always touching and touched. I await you.

David-- dahshalik s’nash-veh eh worla dahshalik - worla eh kwon-sum estuhlanik heh estuhlalik. Bek-tor na’tu.

This is so awesome I can't even deal. *zooms around squealing incoherently*

i don't WANT to drink water I WANT a bard to draft a eulogy for me to criticise!!!!!!!

@elodieunderglass I just restarted post-secondary education after almost 15 years and this comic is me right now sitting in my car trying to find the energy to drive home

Every time a Captain Kirk Parody Character in a piece of media is a womanizing jerk a fairy dies. Because I kill it. I kill a fairy every time you do that.

This also goes for every time said character is the butt of some joke about being fat. I **have** killed fairies and I **will** do it again

data and lal happy moments 🤍

i love them so much... they mean the world to me... i'll think about them forever

What a legacy. We’re so lucky to have had her.

You ever see something innocuous, minding its own business on the clearance shelf at Michael’s and before you know it, it takes over your life for a few weeks?

So it was with this desktop greenhouse.

I took it home and after taking an appropriate time to “season” my idea in my mind (read: a month or two) I set to make my vision of a mini botanical garden a reality.

I started by removing the heavy glass panels and building a raised floor above the latch. I wanted to use the base as a foundation on the building.

I wrapped the foundation in plastic stone textured flooring (meant for Christmas villages) and built a pond at one end of the same. I then gave it a more realistic paint job and designed a rough layout for my plants and displays.

I also knew I wanted to make the ironwork significantly more intricate, but I wasn’t sure how just yet…

Up next - PLANTS! I went wild making all kinds of plants. Some were specific species and some were more conceptual.

I made several trees with polymer clay and moss, cacti out of beads and flocking, cattails out of raffia, hot glue and coffee grounds, and giant monstera leaves out of paper and wire.

This part should have taken me a long time, but it really came together fast. I loved finding ways to replicate natural shapes and patterns using bits of this and that.

I did make adjustments to my plans as I went like eliminating benches in favor of a simpler overall design.

Then I needed to fill my pond with water. For this I used resin. Lily pads were added to the top layer, and I wired in simple LED fairy lights. The batteries are kept in the box under the foundation.

In a weekend frenzy I added more plants, metal (paper) steps, new (plexi)glass windows, a roof, wrought-iron vines (paper again), doors that open, and a hose reel disguising the latch. Suddenly, a project I thought would take months was finished…

I love my desktop botanical garden. Right now it sits on a simple lazy Susan in my office. But I’d love to get it a proper display box to protect from dust.

Thank you for coming on this little journey with me. This piece packs a lot of joy into a tiny space. I always love building miniatures, and I’ll be doing more in the future I’m sure.

Golden Ratio

Even though the Golden Ratio is mathematical beauty, doesn't mean your back needs to be shaped as such. Straighten up!

I realize that most people put their shower toiletries really high to avoid looking down and getting shampoo in their eyes and that's honestly dumb why risk an injury reaching for things when you can just have a small towel out of the water's way dedicated to drying your eyes with. How am I in the wrong here. I am revolutionary

i've been hanging a towel by the shower to wipe my eyes with since i was like twelve. shampoo gets in my eyes way too often. is doing that not normal?

all of my friends think i'm insane for this so i just took their word. maybe I'm not. survey time it is

WAIT I THINK IT'S NOT AN AUTISM THING I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT

My mom is SO autistic and we have the same kind of eyes but she never could understand why I didn't want to just stare up into the spray.

I don't want WATER in my EYELASHES, how is that hard to understand??? I was scared of showers till I was like 12 and learned that you can face AWAY from the spray while looking up and keep your eye area almost completely dry. (You wash your face separately of course, at the sink, with a washcloth.)

Literally from the first sentence this post feels like being violently isekaied into an incomprehensible universe. Truly the mind of another is unknowable.

For the record I am a human with eyeballs (as far as I know) and have been showering for probably 30 years at this point.

1) I pick up the shampoo bottle, apply shampoo, and then CLOSE MY EYES until the shampoo is rinsed off? How long are you leaving it on there?? Are you not in the Wet Box this entire time??

2) I *like* putting my face directly in the spray (WITH MY EYES CLOSED), which I concede might be a bit weird.

1 again) NO REALLY YOU JUST RINSE IT OFF??

3) I have never considered any of these factors when placing my toiletries. You put them wherever your shower has room and if it doesn't have room you get a thingy that hangs off the shower head to put things in.

I'm redesigning my 64x64 neighborhood in the Sims4

the first thing i've done is level half the blocks and add a subway:

TINY NEIGHBORHOOD?? 😍

yeah! :)

here's an earlier version

but i'm in the middle of a big redesign, i'm trying to make it so it can be set to and used as any lot type

i also made an Occult neighborhood that i need to rework to include fairy sims .... and to just be better designed (altho the mad scientist/alien home and the vampire home separately are both still among my favorite builds )

and sometimes i build little mixed use lots that are like, a small part of a neighborhood, like this studio apartment above a cafe/bookstore with a little restaurant across the street

Ideal girlfriend tbh. Put me in the centrifuge, my body is ready.
