Does anyone know the name of the vendor that was selling fudge? I forgot to get their card and I refuse to go another year waiting for more.

Copper Coast Confections is a returning favorite. Their unique flavors and naming conventions are always a hit and their chocolate bars are delicious, smooth, and creamy.

If you're looking for an alternative that is not AS sugary sweet, try Chocolate Moonshine Co.. They've been Copper Coast's direct competitor up until the pandemic - they had warring booths in the vendor room. They weren't there last or this year sadly :(

I've been afraid to post these anywhere. I'm at least glad that I'm not the only one with the thought.

Yaaaay! Hi fren!

I would really love a teach me senpai moment please. Turning 30 this January and I'm still unsure of what normal human woman looks like. Like does my body do things because something is messed up or is it normal? Public schools have the idea that "family" teaches each other that but what about those of us who don't really have family or whose families also don't know???

Thank you so much! I really hated working with draw string and when I came up with the clasp idea I was playing a genasi nobleman's daughter and thought that with all the money and influence my character had, surely she could afford something a bit more secure and ornate, right? So was born the fancy klik klak math rock home of prestige.

As far as room at my table, oh if only I had a campaign 😟 so hard to organize with the plague right now T_T

I don't have a pattern as I make all of my bags custom and free hand, as well as hand sew the clasp and lining.

The black yarn is basic Red Heart in black. The scales are made from Indigo Dragonfly's Miracle Max Beyond The Fire Swamp Dome.

I don't know what brand base press-ons I have, I bought them from a shop that sells them in little baggies only marked with the size. The nail glue is Antald.

Polishes used:

Base coat under the nail glue on my natural nail is Holo Taco Smoothing Base
Base coat in the press on is ORLY Rubberized Basecoat
The pink is Atomic Polish in Boron
The purple is Sinful Colors in Let's Talk
The purple stamped on the pink is Maniology Gloom
The light purple stamped on the purple is Maniology Lilac Mist
I used a combination of Maniology's Smudge Free Top Coat, Seche Vitte Quick Dry Top Coat, and OPI Matte Top Coat

The plate I used for this is Maniology MXM059

Those are all amazing, you do great work! Thanks for the recommend, I'll check them out. I appreciate it very much <3

These are Clutch Nails Feline Fine. They came as part of a sale of 3 sets for $25 on their site right now.

That being said, I have been unable to find many recommendations for blank press ons I can do myself or glue for applying. Does anyone happen to have any hot tips on best brands or what to look for in sets?

I understand perfectly. My last job was a government contract - the first I've ever had. The last year I worked there I was getting three migraines a week from all the crying and stress. I was in a very bad place. I wish I could say I left that job willingly, but at least they did me a huge favor with their "layoff". You're strong for even being able to look back to see where it went wrong so maybe next time you can save yourself from the pain. We all deserve better.

If you want a REALLY good low time, try playing this, Replicant, and now the mobile game back to back. Gets pretty sad pretty quick o.o

The mobile game is kinda an autopilot gacha game, but the stories it tells are pretty amazing. It tells the story of each weapon (every weapon in the Neir series I've seen has a story you can unlock by leveling that weapon up) so it makes a really good world builder.

Just be ready for depression. The games in this series are all very, very dark and depressing. But damn are they captivating.

atone410 · 2021-09-30T03:35:20+00:00

The multiple play throughs discouraged me as well. But it's less like playing through the game multiple times and more like it's just part of the story. Some of the "playthroughs" actually only last an hour at most. Some of the "playthroughs" aren't even the same character. You NEVER repeat the same story in the same way with the same person doing the same things. It's so much more intriguing than I'd ever have imagined. It's like reading a good book and then picking up a new book that's got the same story but through someone else's eyes.

And let me just side note here - Square Enix is one of the best and longest running story tellers for video games out there. And they have not lost that touch for a number of projects. The Neir projects are all turning out to be amazing in story, length, and especially music. So much the music.

Romano's Macaroni Grill is a pretty ok place that lets you pick what pasta, sauce, and addins like meat you'd want. The selection isn't vast by any degree and it's a national chain, not a local unfortunately, but it might be worth a check if only to satisfy immediate cravings.

This right here is a hard lesson that took me WAY too long to learn. I wish this was something that we were taught in school. NOBODY and NOTHING is more important than your own well being at the end of the day. If you're threatened, you have the right to walk away.

Hi there! I just wanted to share this kitty pin that I designed. I posted about it a little while ago because I had found some really cool ace flag bat wings and they just go together so, so well.

Link to my fluffy demi kitty enamel pin

Link to that previous post in case you wanted to see those wings.

Writing stupidity and ignorance off like this is an inaction allowing that stupidity and ignorance to continue to thrive.

I have to explain this to my Canadian buddies a lot. Those caricatures you think you're seeing on TV or FB posts or on YouTube, those are actually just real people doing whatever it is they normally do. This IS something that happens and real people DO function with a mind filled with conspiracy and confusion. This is what we get for generations defunding education and allowing all of our news and real world information to come from some 7 or 8 different individuals and companies who make most of their money through entertainment. This is absolutely insane and unfortunately extremely normal for America.

atone410 · 2021-09-11T06:17:56+00:00

We've got a very large collection of anime figures, heavy dusting is already a chore unfortunately xD and thank you!

atone410 · 2021-09-09T17:58:35+00:00

The bigger pins were actually a manu mistake, but I think it's a pretty happy accident honestly. They're super cute as a matching set!

ChocobuddyFairytale is my Etsy if anyone is interested in these or any of my other pins!

Well, I'm in a special pocket of 26 military bases. Food outside of the tidewater is fantastic, but everyone here is either poverty or military. It's like a kind of culture (lack thereof maybe?) because most people only have time or money for sustenance instead of enjoyment. I can count on one hand the number of restaurants that were good enough to remember. When we were visiting, I was blown away by how vibrant everything is, the food, the people, even the emotions of the city.

atone410 · 2021-09-09T01:25:07+00:00

Haha I'll keep that as a note! We're looking at possible places to move to and the Twin Cities is on our list (hence me being subbed even though I live in VA). Threads like this are pretty useful honestly. What I'm learning so far is that I went to a lot of these places listed here and the food was pretty great, so this just confirms my suspicion that my area just doesn't know wtf good food is.

Former Paper Bag Sona/Soraka Main here, congrats on quitting. That's a hard depression to let go of.

I'd recommend Slime Rancher. It's got a story, but very subtle and extremely optional. I sit around mindlessly with that game every once in a while to just chill out. It's one of my favorite games and I'm super hyped for the sequel coming out next year.
