I really hope your Thoughtbubble experience went well! I love that con so much

I understand that not everyone has the ability to extend their means this festive season - it's a real tough time and I know folks are feeling the crunch, but I still wanted to make people aware of a small scheme that could make a kid's Christmas.

A close up of the present tags: one child is asking for Art Supplies and a Board Game, and the other is asking for a Space Science kit.

This one was in a Dunelm, I'm pretty sure there are other ones in supermarkets and other shops so keep an eye out!

The kids are not asking for much, I'll be getting these ones' toys!

I've had charities provide my presents when I was very young, so it means a lot that I am in a position to help!

A Christmas tree covered in present tags, of which have requests from children for their Christmas presents.

I'm not on social media much atm because of burnout/health issues BUT

It's important that I mention this: if you have the ability to help someone else this festive season, please do!

There are trees in shops that have these present tags, to help families get support for their kids.

Sludge looks like a can of iron bru @toyfu332.bsky.social

I remember being so charmed by the early dev video on the left, so happy to see its release!! So exciting!!

Comic page. 2 Panels. Panel 1: Me walking my dog in the woods. Caption: Not to brag - but I walk my dog, okay/ Caption: We often find ourselves in the local woods. Panel 2: Me looking at a big stretch of boggy muck. Caption: There's this one big stretch of boggy muck on the pack we take. Caption: You're probably thinking that we just shouldn't go this way. Hey you might be right. First time for everything, as they say.

Comic page. 1 Panel Panel 1: Me and the dog walking over the boggy muck, elevated on sticks laid into the dirt. Caption: Every few weeks, though - someone lays down a very useful series of branches so we can cross with ease. Caption: That's nice isn't it? Someone taking the time and expending the effort to build a little bridge. Caption: I often wonder who it is. Perhaps it's more than just one person. That's a comforting thought. Panel 2: Me looking at a big stretch of boggy muck. Caption: There's this one big stretch of boggy muck on the pack we take. Caption: You're probably thinking that we just shouldn't go this way. Hey you might be right. First time for everything, as they say.

Comic Page - 1 Panel. Me crossing the sticks, we see all the previous sticks crushed down deep into the dark mud. Caption: It's funny how guilty I feel when a branch breaks - like I've undone their good work, y'know? Caption: But within a weeo or two, there's a new set of branches ready to be trodden into the mud. Caption: It's hard not to think about all those other branches, crushed down deper in the dark with every new layer.

Comic Page 2 panels. Panel 1: Me standing in the woods looking down at the path. Caption: maybe it's my turn to lay down some branches for the next folk who come this way. Caption: God knows it wouldn't take long - and I definitely have the time. Panel 2: Shot of my hands holding the sticks I'd need. Caption: Nah

I took a notion to draw a wee comic last night, based on my real-life experience where I felt bad for some sticks.

This style is stunning Gav, there's so many elements I love but the symbolism and the dark conversational humour of it really touched me.
I can hear your voice in it.

I've been wanting to try my hand at comics sometime, this is inspiring ✨

Thank youuuuuu! So sweet of you to say 😭🧡
Been having a rough time of it lately so I cracked out the acrylic paint pens, most of em have definitely dried up but I'm gonna get more eventually :)

Please enjoy a lil pumpkin I painted :)
Happy October everyone 🎃

Always love following The Stanley Parable Adventure Line to hospital appointments 🧡

That's so cute!! Nice bit of whimsy :)

That's so evil 😭
Strawberry cremes are one of the best ones as well :(

Well I meant *simply hey ho

Your consistency is simple admirable my friend, strength to strength 💪🏻

Moved into my new flat 31st July and I've only just gotten Internet connected up now...

...Only I haven't been sent the router to actually use it 🙄

Still don't have access to my boiler/gas at all, it's a nightmare 😭
Utility companies giving me the run around is currently the bane of my existence.

Ah misunderstood!
You're in for a treat, trek is so charming a lot of the time that its shite episodes can be forgiven.
They come into their own and the charactisation of TNG is really great. TNG/DS9 get stronger as they go so you'll definitely have a "hell yeah" moment if youre already invested!

Onwards and upwards!! I hope you enjoy your rewatch!

Yeahhhh some of the plots are just smashed together and it makes for some crunchy episodes. Sometimes it really works and other times, not so much haha
DS9 has its moments too, but I love both of them dearly 😂😅

You're so real for this 💋

My favourite Transformers character

Just seen this now, please wish him a very happy birthday :)

I believe there is, it's very heavy and feels like metal!

He is a perfect creature

I love robots, I love tamagotchis, so a tamagotchi robots??? Hell yes 🙌🏻

🎵 Look at my Son 🎵

Coots are so good, love baby ones cause they just are fuzzy pom poms on massive stilts

Ahhh thank you!!!
I'm so please with how they turned out, been trying to get this pattern perfected and I am finally there :) the buttons really make it

Tah very muchly! 🧡🥳

Thank youuuuu 👑 ✨ 🎂
