Alex "I think you'll find it did not blow" P 🇨🇦

Robin Williams, from Jumanji

Like half of the people I know are either Peter Cushing, from Star Wars or Alec Guinness, from Star Wars.

"Torment Nexus" is often used to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with baseball games, like the one we’re all living inside of right now

Every Jays fan is going to have nightmares of balls stuck in walls for weeks

If the game hits 2am Eastern the score is reset to an hour before and everyone has to repeat exactly what they did to preserve the space time continuum, thems the rules

Bases My potato

It’s cool they invented baseball so you could microdose suicidal thoughts

Settling in for another nine innings

LAST DAY OF BASEBALL DUMPERS 🍑

LETS GO BLUE JAYSSSSS

Yeah as long as it's after Halloween you're good.

I would prefer PUBLIC entities (radio, malls) to wait until after Remembrance/Armistice/Veterans Day, and preferably even Nov 25, to start playing music and putting up decorations but individuals can find their joy as they like.

Girlfriend's CHARACTER'S brother.

Also I forgot in the alt text that Dodger has a cane.

Anyway thank you for accompanying me on this silly journey of art LOL

An elderly elf couple sits in stadium bleachers. The man wears an old-school Dodgers t-shirt and a *Brooklyn* Dodgers cap as well as sunglasses. The woman wears modern Blue Jays fan attire. She is holding his hand affectionately. The text reads: Dodger: I still haven't forgiven them for moving to LA. Quamara: Darling, that was 67 years ago. Dodger: And? Quamara: And you should be cheering for the Jays.

My girlfriend has discovered that I am a sleeper agent fan for the Blue Jays, as any self-respecting Ontarian is. However, Quamara would have thought it hilariously funny back in 1931 to buy Dodger a Dodgers Jersey.

Therefore we wind up here:

basically equivalent to Halifax in terms of both climate and exports. Then in the next game I started playing my girlfriend's brother's brother, in 1883 London.
Therefore, we decided that the old characters really did live in Halifax. Which brings us to to the current World Series. (cont)

Day 31: This last one is Free Choice and requires some explanation.

Part of the reason my girlfriend @eaterofash.bsky.social started dating is because of our characters in D&D getting together. My character was Dodger.
There was also an ongoing joke that the town that they lived in was (cont)

A strawberry themed elf fairy and a snake construct a magic circle. The snake forms the circle. The circle has a flower and a small apple in it: the snake has a maple leaf and the fairy holds a vine of ivy.

An inn called the Weeping Knight. A black elven woman in a vaguely sari-like outfit is cooking fish over a bonfire her pet dragon has made for her as he rests beside her feet. There is a river and a tree, and several hot pepper plants. She is cooking outside.

An emo elf lies face down on a couch in a very Victorian-era-looking nightgown and slippers but he is looking at a laptop which is on the floor next to the sofa. His cat familiar is lying on his back. The text above them reads: -Noël ... Minesweeper isn't finishing your book. -Shut up, Puck. -I'm just saying, Titania will be upset if you miss your deadline AGAIN.

An undersea elven warrior fights a giant toad. It is trying to hit her with its tongue and she is dodging. Her hair is braided. She wields a circular shield and a short sword. Her armor is vaguely shell-based and she has swim fins on her feet.

A bust of an elven woman with ringlets wearing a mask that looks like a blue sea dragon is on her face

Michelangelo Buonarotti but as an elf painting the ceiling of an elf Sistine Chapel. He's lying on his arm but I fucked up which side the thumb is on and the perspective is poor.

A female elf artificer envisioned as an airship captain, casting a magical helm, definitely stole her wardrobe from Setzer of FFVI

The tiefling has long hair and is wearing more preppy clothes; the elf has a man bun with an undercut and is wearing an oversized sweater with flames on it, obviously stolen from the BF, and ripped jeans.

So the last few years, I've been trying to do an October drawing challenge of some stripe. This year I decided on @ranefea.bsky.social 's #InkOctoberElves.

These are all pretty rough, and I mixed and matched from different prompts, but here's what I drew:

Nothing wrong with winning it in seven.

(Please do win it in seven.)

Three inches would have completely changed things

God IS actually testing me

Yes!!! I totally get crying about it!!! It's very emotional!!!

But, and this is important, he is ALIVE even if they fake you out about it for a few seconds!!!

Wait, what? None of the animals die. Shadow gets injured, but he is reunited with Peter
