A very sad viking. :c
(Top of his head is sparse. Big O of a sad mouth and /. .\ eyes and eyebrows. Jowls covered by a red beard. Black mustache.)

A samurai.
His helmet has beetle-like horns on the front in place of his eyebrows and a family crest that looks suspiciously like a heart. he’s wearing red eye make-up to match the red armor of his helmet. And he has one of those mustaches. Probably part of the face-guard rather than his actual facial hair, but who knows? I’m not judging a samurai.

Doing another fallback to one of my favorite/standard responses:
This is a blot of an awesome piece of headgear! It’s got a big pretty bow in the front, a short flippy wig. Dangling pearls all over the place. And sort of little antennae on top!
So, I guess this is sort of a retrofuture type of helmet-wig! Like the Jetsons! :3

As is fairly common with me, I see a strange ornament.
This one is two ducks facing opposite each other. Above them is a stand where two chibi moth-kids hold hands while facing one another.

I always seem to come back to “ant” don’t I? It’s a close-up of a creepy ant’s head with forelegs.

4. USE YOUR STIRRING TEABAG METHOD OF CHOICE, ADD SUGAR/SWEETENER LIKE A BOSS OR NOT IF YOU ARE A HEALTHY BOSS
5. GRUMBLE LIKE A FISHERMAN BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO LEAVE THE KETTLE AREA TO GO TO THE FRIDGE TO GET MILK AND BACK TO IT AGAIN AFTER YOU ADD IT
6. RUN BACK TO WHATEVER YOU WERE DOING, TAKE A COMFORT SIP AND THEN EITHER FINISH IT OR FORGET ABOUT IT AND MOAN ABOUT THE FACT THAT YOU LET IT GO COLD

How To Make Tea. In multiple countries.
Southern version is straight up accurate. No lie. If you are putting less than 20 odd cups of sugar into a small pot of tea, you are doing it wrong.
Only problem is the South doesn’t have “Tea”. We have “SweeTea” only one T. If you say sweet tea you’re a goddamn yankee. Or from Florida. Same thing.
I’d actually like to chime in here on the southern tea. My only point of disagreement would be that you could dump a shit ton of ICE into the hot tea, post sugar-adding, and not water. The ice melts and pretty much dilutes the tea, same as the water would, but it gets it to a perfect temp for pouring into a glass over MORE ICE. That’s just how my grandma did it. :D
Also she would stick it in the sun for HOURS for some reason. But it tasted amazing. I always ask for sweet tea when I head north even if they don’t have any. WHY DO THEY OFFER YOU SUGAR AND COLD UNSWEET TEA?? DO THEY NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SUGAR CRYSTALS DON’T DISSOLVE IN COLD LIQUID??
And wow, don’t even get me started on southern shit. I love it. MY DAD GREW UP WITH AN OUTHOUSE OK. I HAVE STORIES.
Southern shit aside, THIS COMIC IS PURE GOLD. <333
PS: Sweet tea/sweaTea is gross, man. I can’t handle cold tea at all. /forever alone
Yeah… I’ve bought a few toys (like Barbies) for this purpose, but ended up sending them on to the person whose character they were, so they could make the decision of how to portray their own character.
I have certainly bookmarked/wishlisted some toys I thought would be fun/semi-easy to customize.
And, of course, there are the toys MEANT to be customized that I would dearly love to. (I’m not even referring to bjds here. That’s another issue entirely.)
But the thing is - it can get expensive unless the toy you’re customizing is very cheap so you can afford to make newbie mistakes with them…
My niece, for example, is far too young for Barbies and my mom keeps buying bags of them at a second-hand shop for cheapie-cheap. So maybe I’ll look at Barbies and decide if I want to give it a go. (Probably not. Restoring them properly takes knowledge, time, and dedication. I could probably paint them up like aliens or back-up dancers for Jem and the Holograms, but what I’d really like to do is have a Munny or maybe a cheap (notrare) My Little Pony….)
Inkblot of the Day #69
Instructions: Tell me what you see.
Lamentation: It’s a shame that #69 didn’t turn out amusingly sexual.
extra points to anyone who can describe something sexual in this inkblot…
-Enjoy
Sorry - I didn’t see anything sexual - though I’m sure I can make it into it after I get through my initial impression! Here goes:
Two fighting Pokemon (most likely Machoke) punch at a lantern or Party Ball.
As for making it sexual…
Erm. I think it looks pretty sexual if you just… look at it.
Generally I’d have cut the comments, but they kind of made this even better. xD
What happens when a tree branch falls onto a powerline?
Answer: Dramatic Annihilation
Only 17 seconds long - stick to the end.

THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.
Did that shit…just explode rainbows?!

idk why but I burst out laughing every time I see this video
gapes at screen with open mouth
“No,” the wire whispered. “You can’t—you’ll burn—”
The branch smiled sadly, looking up at the tree that had protected her for so many years. But, the branch needed to know for herself the heat and passion of the wires. “I would rather burn a hundred times over,” she said softly, “than live an eternity away from you.”
“But, I’m right here! You can see me every day!” The wire pleaded desperately. “You don’t have to do this!”
“Actually, I do,” the branch replied. “I’m falling and it’s only a matter of time. Please…tell me you’ll catch me. Even if I’ll burn, tell me you’ll catch me.”
The wire was silent before swaying in affirmation, gazing up at the branch that had always been so far above him. Always out of reach, always kept away, protected jealously by the tree.
The wind was picking up, and with each blow, the branch swung ever closer to the wires until finally, she was ripped from the tree and fell down into the waiting arms of her beloved.
“Hello,” she whispered, feeling that dreadful heat creeping up from her base. It wouldn’t be long now. The sparks were already starting and she was starting to glow. The wire tried to prevent the inevitable, desperately trying to contain the power he knew would lead to her violent destruction, but all he could do was watch her burn as they swayed in the wind.
It was over within a few seconds. There was a sudden burst of colorful flames and everything was still. Even the wind had died down, leaving the remnants of the branch…his branch…sprawled across him, nothing more than a charred memory.

You know Shweta’s going to great lengths not to do her paper when she writes a tragic OTP for a telephone wire and a tree branch.
I’m going to now creep out as discreetly as possible and try to write my paper. Or something.
Tumblr…did you just give me a fanfiction…about a stick falling on a power line?
And people wonder why I spend so much time with you.
hshfjhsakjfhdskjgfdhsagf I would ship thisWho am I kidding, I already ship this
Tumblr: The place for all your shipping needs.
Seriously, only on tumblr can you find people writing angsty fanfiction between a tree branch and telephone wires.
