also look at this fuckass... THING we found while thrifting. I was thinking I should've put my denim jacket over top & used it like a waistcoat. to be clear, it does not open at the front! that is a regular trouser zipper! I did not buy it I am afraid to say, but I did find a cool 80's windbreaker:3

if he'd just been handing them to random bystanders caught up in the fun it'd be one thing but I don't exactly pass and got dressed up and did makeup so I just cannot understand what he was trying to achieve lmao anyway it's me and @pancakerino.bsky.social :D I need to get patches on my jacket thoo

A white brunette in red converse, fishnet leggings, a crop top, a denim jacket and shorts combo. Her nails are painted black, and dangly earrings by @placecalledbliss.bsky.social peak out of the censor over the face.

The same white brunette is joined by another, this one in a long back skirt and a Chappell Roan 2025 tour t-shirt. Her hair is darker, but also dyed blonde at the ends. The first brunette has dropped her jacket, revealing her crop top to have a design by @sweatermuppet.bsky.social that reads "Don't die wondering... transgenderism could be for you."

oh I haven't posted about my reading in a while. I'm still doing chunks of Whose Afraid of Gender (Judith Butler) maybe I'll finish it sometimes this century. it's interesting if difficult. I read Babel (R.F. Kuang). I... loved the idea of it. read it fairly easily, but it didn't flow well. it sort

Babel by R.F. Kuang. A grey pencil depiction of Oxford (England), split through the middle vertically with a silver band as if the page has been ripped in two. Each letter of Babel is in its own embellished box within the silver. A gold book of the year stamp adorns the top right of the page.

anyway don't tell pancake but I delayed starting the book she told me to read (hey I bought it that counts for something!) because while I went to go buy it I spotted the sequel to a book I read a while back that was really fun, despite the fact I had started a 3rd different book like 3 days before

QTP with a game that has a 10/10 soundtrack "...and his music was electric." both games have incredible osts. alternatively I'd put FTL or Celeste I think? maybe original divos for a different vibe

gunna blame my screen being dirty for that .0001 smh... I was moving my head around like a damn chicken, forwards backwards sideways wherever to try and see some of those www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

A number (0.0031) that apparently tells you how good I am at discerning colours.

lae@laerite· Mar 6

hurt me to not include Risk of Rain (i prefer og/returns too 2! but 2 is good) but I Isaac is my og indie roguelike so I figure it made more sense. Also missing TW:Shogun 2 which i'd probably cut divinity out for? I've certainly put more hours into TW but I love the og divinity so :) my9games.com

this plump baby walked out right between my feet and jumpscared me. Seems to be a regular at the bahn mi stall. i think you're not meant to feed birds bread, but a little bit of baguette couldn't hurt right??? 🥺

typical lae behaviour: 0-1-2 at the pre release. Was a decent time as usual, but god do I want to actually get better at limited. Haven't done any since dragonstorm either so that probably didn't help. but I love this set we're so back frfr (for like two months or whatever when TMNT comes out).

fin go read it :)

lae@laerite· Dec 16

I'm not sure how to recommend The Mountain In The Sea by Ray Nayler to you, but I do. It was given to me, a book I would've likely never otherwise noticed, and now maybe I can give that forward to you. that said, I've still a handful of chapters to go, so I'm going back to reading.

An extract from The Mountain In The Sea, by Ray Nayler. it reads as follows:

"I keep thinking of those people, rowing to the island to leave food."
"the kind ones. those who cared enough."
"no. they weren't kind. they were weak. they should have acted right away. they should have resisted when the authorities came to take the dogs away. violently, if that was what was needed. that would have been real kindness: to act. to save the animals from being taken away in the first place. to protect them. but they did nothing when it counted, and then tried to make up for it later with actions that were not enough. it was useless, and cruel. it just created more suffering. their inaction, when it really doubted, was also a kind of action. it was a choice they made."
"they were afraid. the state was powerful, and they were nobody at all."
"well, I am nobody at all. but I am not afraid. not anymore."

finished my book at the gym today and now I have to scroll on my phone between sets??? this sucks ass. book was... well the second half was pretty good. I think I dropped it like, twice over the past year before finally finishing it. First half is very slow, just setting up characters and setting.

Phillip K Dick's "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?" The illustration shows a thin red headed lady falling down the centre of a stairwell, positioned below a window showing the moon.

And that's a wrap. Damn. It's a strange last book, but what a heavy & heartfelt ending. Emotional rollercoaster for sure, & my worries for it not sticking the landing were for naught. So much happens at the end, it felt a little rough in some spots, but it wrapped up really well. Kaul Hiloshudon o7

Jade Legacy, third book in the Green Bone Saga, by Fonda Lee.

lae@laerite· Nov 2

Ah yeah nah, the green bone saga is good. Finished Jade War. Again I don't really know what'll happen in the next book but wow. characters, huh? fictional lil dudes? the ones we make up? they're pretty great. I like em a lot. we should do more of that. I want more dudes.

An extract from Jade War, second book of the Green Bone saga, by Fonda Lee.
Anden had been waiting to hear those words come out of his cousin's mouth for years. Now however, he felt no great relief or happiness—only the sort of heaviness that comes from wanting something for so long that the final achievement of it is a loss—because the waiting is over and the waiting has become too much a part of oneself to let go of easily.

lae@laerite· Oct 25

looking at my bookshelf because it has absolutely no space left and I just finished Jade City which was really good!! I literally ended up taking it to the gym and reading between sets cause I didn't want to put it down lol. very character focused which is always a fave for me, but cool fights too

lae@laerite· Oct 20

eldrazi spawn is my fave of the bunch, thought I wouldn't know what to draw but once frog spawn got into my head I thought it was perfect. and I'm surprised I managed to do the wastes/bismuth effect with the markers lol. the rest are fine for how little effort they got but drawing a germ??? wack.

A colourless 0/1 Eldrazi spawn token with "sacrifice this creature: add a colourless mana" and a blue 1/1 thopter with flying.

A banana token with "sacrifice this artifact: add a red or a green" I forgot to put that you also gain 2 life.

A red 1/1 goblin token, and a black 2/2 zombie token.

a treasure token, with "sacrifice this artifact, add one of any coloured mana", and a colourless 0/0 phyrexian germ token.

lae@laerite· Oct 15

uhhh keep forgetting to do it and then remembering so it's a lot of doubles lol

A black and green 1/1 enchantment creature snake with deathtouch

a blue copy token, and a 0/0 construct that gains +1/+1 per artifact you control

a black 1/1 assassin with haste and deathtouch, and a blue 1/1 bird with flying

lae@laerite· Oct 14

bought my first artist proof yayayayay ≈^w^≈ credit and a big thank you to @carlymilligan.bsky.social

foreground: the magic the gathering card, "Astelli Reclaimer".
{3}{W}{W}. p/t 5/4. Creature - Angel Warrior.
The text box is covered by the artist's signature, but reads:
Flying
When this creature enters, return target noncreature, nonland permanent card with mana value X or less from your graveyard to the battlefield, where X is the amount of mana spent to cast this creature.
Warp {2}{W}
background: the art for the card, on a playmat, also signed. It depicts an angel made of star stuff, glowing like a yellow, red and purple nebula. it is wearing silver armour, and wielding a sword made from the same plasma as it is. It leads a charge, followed by four soldiers, fully covered by similar silver armour, but with golden helmets. in the background is a large planet, three moons, and black space filled with distant pinprick stars.

someone shared these a while back for nsfw refs :) can't speak for them all myself tho, haven't looked at em all
