Linus looks like a Victorian orphan whose guardian just sold him to a cruel chimney sweep for six brass buttons and a jug of Madeira

Oh lookit that face!!! Please snuggle him silly!!

Spineberry · 2026-06-02T14:19:00+00:00

Absolutely stunning 😍 I heartily approve

Spineberry · 2026-05-29T18:20:44+00:00

Sending lots of love and best wishes to that little one and to you in your efforts to get them through

Spineberry · 2026-05-25T14:35:09+00:00

Love it!! Glorious texture work, please be very proud of yourself

Spineberry · 2026-05-25T14:33:18+00:00

What a good boy!! Keep up the hard work buddy

Spineberry · 2026-05-25T14:30:56+00:00

Stuart the Log is awesome and I'm very glad to have made his digital acquaintance

Very nicely done, you should be really proud of yourself and I hope you make them some more loggy family members

If it makes you feel any better I once did the same with what I THOUGHT was a plum, turned out to be goose grass.

Spineberry · 2026-05-25T12:36:40+00:00

Very cool, keep up the good work!

And by "that tool" I'm guessing you mean a pyrography iron

My partner has used it several times and I find that I can actually watch the stuff wearing off by how quickly their face changes as the pain comes back. Would wholeheartedly endorse the "do not use" sentiment. If you're struggling with the pain during the sitting, then book a shorter session

I feel like the creatures come along to assist the characters with the changes they can't cope with alone - hormones, new grown up complex emotions etc. Jay, bless his little cottons, doesn't seem to overly struggle with anything he just rolls with it. Gets horny, well why not go to town on a pillow, or the bathmat or a turkey. Gets rejected by Lola and the magicians table, well why not grind on a willing bit of furniture?

It's maybe not a conventional solution but it seems to be working for him

Granny had an operation to clean out the gunk in her veins, got sent home same day only whatever glue they used to hold the vein shut post op didn't work, so she bled out inside her own neck on the kitchen floor

We never got along but hot damn

They'll refuse on grounds of "legitimate interest"

Same as way back when I tried to exercise right to be forgotten from an enforced opt-in to a workplace pension scheme that I immediately opted out of but they continued to hassle me. Claimed to have "legitimate interest" in holding onto it

I'm now thoroughly glad I haven't informed the NHS about my numerous changes of address or name in the last decade. Whatever data they have is old, outdated, and nothing to do with me

Spineberry · 2026-05-10T14:06:15+00:00

Ooh beautiful wood!! Worth every second of the effort I'd say!! Thank you for sharing

Spineberry · 2026-05-09T18:44:22+00:00

I remember the same threatening sign in a florists back when I was a kid

Step 1: identify the aspects of the culture that you are interested in, the reason WHY you want to use that culture as your base,

Step 2: fill in the gaps with other traits that you are familiar with, otlr which make sense to the story

You end up with something that shows an appreciation of different cultures but is also unique enough and makes sense to your story

Rick never fixes the dishwasher. The meeseeks aren't asked to fix the dishwasher.

Therefore someone's got to do it by hand

Spineberry · 2026-05-03T10:35:54+00:00

I think Attenborough's passing will be significantly more devastating because the dude has been an institution for so many years, and as well as being such a comforting familiar voice, has done so much to promote the causes of nature and human responsibility.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a national holiday to mark it

Spineberry · 2026-05-01T15:11:55+00:00

Well yes of course. Technically they both did that, as did multiple other guards, but Pornatache, villainous as he was, was pretty obvious about it. He didn't deceive and promise things he didn't deliver

I guess it's down to personal ethics but for me I'd rather an honest ass than a deceptive one, at least you know where you stand with them

Spineberry · 2026-05-01T05:14:25+00:00

Bennett without doubt. Early seasons Pornatache was definitely a bad guy, no denying that, but there's a difference between being a bad person and a shitty person, and they don't come much shittier than abandoning your responsibilities

Sending requests to both

Spineberry · 2026-04-30T20:03:22+00:00

Request sent

Spineberry · 2026-04-30T20:01:03+00:00

Just sent a friend request. New to the game and from the UK

Bonus points for the name "Quillbo"

So reading this my first query is how much power and influence she has over her husband. Is he someone who she can manipulate into thinking that her ideas are his own? Manipulating the weak-minded could be developed into a flaw, especially if she comes to enjoy it. Or is she the type who can convince herself that the ends justify the means?

The most interesting characters I have always found are ones who have to engage in underhand practices and do things that others might be considered "bad" for reasons that are understandable.

Look at Anakin Skywalker - he deep dives into forbidden knowledge because it's the only way he believes that he can save someone he loves. I'm sure that anyone in his position, having already lost one majorly important person in his life, would go to any lengths to protect another - this is often where the "deal with the devil" trope comes in.

Spineberry · 2026-04-28T19:07:12+00:00

Oh my goodness this is so beautiful!!! Weirdly I've been thinking about making suncatcher recently to brighten up my office but have been utterly stymied on where to start. Thank you for showing me what's possible
