I'm overall still quite satisfied with this piece, but I think I can do better on the background... Who knows, maybe it's time for a redraw?

A mossy green corduroy backpack sits on a wooden shelf surrounded by a document box and an ordner. The backpack is adorned with fan made Disney Robin Hood and Maid Marian keychains (the_foxs_tales on Instagram). The detachable front pocket has a transparent vinyl window showing off some official Disney Robin Hood pins, as well as some official Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley pins.

Answer: the coolest backpack I think I've ever owned.

A box of approximately 50 by 50 by 50 centimeters sits on an asphalt parking lot with a much smaller box on top of it. Boots and car wheel included in part for size reference (other part being me being too lazy to edit this photo).

Gee, I wonder what could possibly be in this Big HONKING ✨ B O X ✨

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

All the hard work behind the scenes is finally paying off!
For all our conveniences, I've made this handy overview.

I don't know when I'll come to terms with the idea that watching actual plays is basically just watching Premier League football for fantasy/TTRPG nerds, but today is not that day.

Thanks again to @larty.bsky.social for helping me out with the pose!

Woman under the blanket meme Panel 1 depicts a girl standing, gesticulating while talking, captioned "Me spoiling the entire first episode of The Count of Monte Cristo (2025) because we missed that episode and they didn't know what to watch." Panel 2 depicts a woman sitting on a tan sofa, with a blanket up to her shoulders, looking at the other girl incredulously, captioned "My parents."

Welp. They seem to like it so far!
