Upon first glance, The Sparrows UNCUFF LINK appears to be a standard pair of cuff links. However, a covert, hidden handcuff key has been engineered in to the design. — Cufflinks that open handcuffs.
Sometimes I wonder if my “#resources” tag should be more properly titled “#toys I would own in an alternate universe where I’m a snappily-dressed yet desperate and on-the-run masked vigilante”.

Your fate is mine to decide!
(nb: This started as a “lol multiple alternate shepards” thing. Then talking about a_facility made me think about the Consortium’s original goals, and… this may make no sense to anyone who didn’t play in a_fac. And no sense to anyone who isn’t half asleep and writing crazy bursts of fanfic first thing in the morning.)
All Shepard could think, as she stared through the one-way glass like someone looking at a live explosive, was that it would be Cerberus.
Let’s settle this one-on-one!
All these people reblogging my old PM drawings from back in the day, when I was RPing her at a_facility, and I can’t help wondering what they think I was thinking. Because let me tell you a_fac was not about happy fun happy times, not one bit.
(Protip: That collar’s not a fashion statement. That was a tracking/identification collar.)
Yahtzee made an offhand comment in one of his EP columns where he was speculating what Mario and Luigi were doing in the Mushroom Kingdom, and concluded that Princess Peach must also have come from Earth, entered Narnia-style into this strange fantastical world, defeated some evil or other, and became crowned as royalty.
Which seems like a pretty reasonable premise for a game if you ask me.
So here’s a ten/fifteen minute sketch, assuming Peach came from the sixties while the Mario bros were from the eighties. This timeframe was chosen entirely because this Jackie Kennedy outfit is basically Peach’s princess outfit, except not.

I’ve banged my head for days against the walls inside this maze
I’ve never been too good at this damn kind of thing
nonasuch asked: Hey! I'm working on a Discworld fanzine, and looking for contributors. Would you possibly be interested? More details at my tumblr. (This is not the only zine in the works, and I suspect at least one other may be a good fit for you.)
Hmm… I’ll get back to you on this one. I don’t have any fic I could contribute at the moment, but I could do you some art. (For my followers: here is nonasuch’s info post regarding their fanzine project, if y’all have a moment.)
Also I notice one of your zines is focused on people who are/feel othered by their fandom — I suggest checking out tokusatsu (Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, etc). It has a pretty strong female fanbase, yet is predominantly marketed to and consumed by a male audience.
Anonymous asked: Top favorite Terry Pratchett novels, go!
Spoilers: They’re all from the Disc. I have read some of his other work like Nation, and I’ve gotta re-read The Carpet People one of these days, but y’know. Discworld.
Night Watch - every couple of months I have to reread this and Guards! Guards! next to each other. It’s odd and sad, seeing fresh-faced teenaged Vimes and knowing that in a handful of years he’s going to be a fatalistic drunken wreck, and yet in Guards! Guards! you see him waking up to the Vimes he’s going to become in Night Watch.
Monstrous Regiment - This book. It was made for me.
Wee Free Men -Actually the first Discworld book I read — really, I like it much better than the other Tiffany books. I rather feel like in the latter two books, particularly I Shall Wear Midnight, he decided he wanted to include a bunch of characters and themes he didn’t quite nail down in the first two, and it doesn’t quite feel like the same story anymore. Letitia and Amber should really have been introduced circa Wintersmith.
Miss Sanderson and the womanly art of parasol self defence
Although the woman known as “Miss Sanderson” was a prominent fencer and self defence instructor in Edwardian London, regrettably little is known of her life – including her first name. At some point in the early 1900s she married Pierre Vigny, who had begun his own career in London as the chief instructor at the Bartitsu Club. Miss Sanderson, who continued to use what was presumably her maiden name for professional purposes, became Vigny’s assistant instructor when he opened his own school in Berner’s Street during 1903. By 1908 she was teaching her own unique system of women’s self defence, based on Vigny’s method but concentrating on the use of the umbrella and parasol.

waste your summer praying in vain for a saviour to rise from these streets
(The problem of continuing the last post is that most of my ideas for it are pretty firmly rooted in London Below (where they meet Richard, champion and consort of the Lady Door, and get roped into the search for Door’s sister who’s still missing these last twelve years, and then something something about Islington and Aziraphale something something something), and I don’t know anything about modern-day London. There’s an eight-year old part of me who still has this Enid-Blytonesque view of pre-war lashings-of-ginger-beer England, and… that’s a thing.)
(sigh)
(I could just throw them all in the Dreaming and have done with it.)
“This is exactly the kind of place Dad warns me about,” Coraline said.
Bod thought about it. Most of the storefronts they’d passed on the way here had been bright and cheery-looking, and he rather wished they’d had time to stop at the street market, and he quite liked the music coming from a nearby club even if it was far too loud and seemed to rattle his back teeth when they walked past.
On the other hand, he’d looked some of the billboards and certain other storefronts, and he could hear his mother sniffing and saying now you just stay away from that nonsense if you know what’s good for you, Nobody Owens.
Bod decided that this would have been a very nice place to walk around in daylight. Instead, it was three in the morning and they were in a dark alleyway that smelled like a toilet.
The graffiti on the wall read BEWARE OF WOLVES. Underneath it, in a different script, someone else had written I’D LIKE TO MEET HIS TAILOR.
“I’m sorry about your boots,” he offered.
Coraline looked down and shrugged. In another life, they had been bright yellow and resembled rubber duckies. They were probably still duckie-shaped.
(They’d been running from a cloud of… not bats, not bats at all, Bod was very familiar with bats and he could definitely say they were Not Bats, Not One Bit, but they were black and flappy and had enormous teeth and spewed gobs of black filth at them. They’d ducked around a corner and bolted into the first shop that still had its lights on and didn’t have a seminaked mannequin in front, and the middle-aged shopkeeper had given them a scandalized look and nearly threw them back out before he peered out the window and said, “Blast. Very well, you can… stay until they’re gone. I’ll find you two some towels, shall I? Don’t touch anything.”)
She said, “They won’t melt. Tape?”
Bod handed her a roll of sticky tape. She unrolled the thin sheet of paper the circus-girl had given them, spreading it out and sticking it to the alley wall.
It was a narrow, life-size ink drawing of a door. It had a doorknocker shaped like a unsmiling face, wearing a horned mask.
“There,” Coraline said. “Okay. Where did they say the Floating Market was?”
(nb: no, there isn’t more of this, I just have to get this out of my head)
Currently I make resin skull jewelry which I’ve been selling in my etsy shop Skullery for a few years now. I’d like to expand and start producing a line of silver and bronze jewelry. I’ve spent the past 6 months learning how to make them and producing the examples you see here (and there’s more on the Kickstarter page).
Now I need your help! The equipment I need to cast these pieces isn’t cheap, so I need enough people interested in my work in order for me to buy the tools I need and start production.
I’d like to spread this as far as I can, so this post also doubles as a giveaway! Reblog this post to enter, no need to follow me, and when the project ends on June 1st I’ll pick three winners randomly for a bronze crow claw necklace, a bronze fox claw necklace, and a silver mini sparrow necklace (check out the project page to see them!). The first winner will have first choice, and so on. I have these pieces already made so even if the kickstarter isn’t funded you’ll still get them. And if you back the kickstart and win we’ll make sure you don’t get the same thing twice if you don’t want to.
Thanks for taking a look! If you cant back the project but want to help, spread the word! <3
Man, I’d just reblog this for the reference, skull/bone jewelry is awesome.
