Not only did @fyrkalnasvt.bsky.social being me four containers of the most delicious potato leek soup (feat. Canadian bacon), he also brought me a giant pirate ship to put together on my down time.

I cannot wait to crack into this.
A box for a DIY kit: a ship called the Seahorse Barque. The picture of the plywood ship features black sails with golden seahorses on them, and the box advertises a particularly detailed gun deck with cannons.

Day 6 is a tiefling!! And she looks like a tiefling rogue - just like me!!

I love all tieflings, but I’m absolutely enamored with this design. I might end up painting her to be representative of one of my main NPCs.
A gray miniature of a tiefling/devil-kin woman standing stoically on a rock-like base, holding jagged daggers in each hand. Over her lightweight garb she wears belts with pouches hanging off, and beneath the longer, skirt-like part of her outfit is a curled tail with a spade-like tip. She stands in front of a tiny green holiday box with red, white, and gold mountains, and a gold reindeer illustrated on the front. A white number 6 is in the corner of the box. In the background are more holiday boxes with corresponding numbers printed on them.

Day 5. More kobolds?! Adam really knew his audience when he picked out these figures. I love my little guys.

I now have a veritable hoard of kobolds. Time to plan a neat encounter with them!
A gray, 3-D figure of a kobold. It’s holding a shovel in one hand and rope in another, as if ready to delve deep into a dungeon. Behind it is a small brown holiday themed box illustrated with a gingerbread person wearing a Santa hat. The number 5 is on the box, barely visible behind the lizard-like kobold. In the background are more small holiday boxes with corresponding numbers printed on them.

Calendar catch-up time! Day 4 - what even IS this guy? I’m obsessed!

He looks like he’s going to be really fun to paint.
A gray, 3-D printed creature in armor and holding a shield. It resembles a cross between an orc and a dwarf, with bull-like horns sticking out from the side of its head. Its mouth hangs open in an intimidating grimace, revealing two tusks pointing upwards from its lower jaw. It stands with a weapon on its shoulders, ready to fight. Behind it is a small, holiday themed red box decorated with an illustration of a car driving a Christmas tree tied to its roof through the snow. The number 4 is on the box. Behind it is a stack of similar small holiday boxes with corresponding numbers.

Something about standard, by-the-book palatable rock this morning that’s doing it for me.

Anyway, here’s a cute picture of Me BC (before cancer). I love how I look here.

I’ll get back there someday.
A nice selfie of me sitting on a couch wearing a red flannel shirt layered over a black t-shirt. I’m wearing a black beanie on my head with red devil horns sticking out of it. My hair is shoulder length and beautiful reddish brown. I’m looking at the camera with twinkling green eyes and a soft smile.

Day 3 is a kobold!! Some of you may know that - aside from tieflings and drow - I adore kobolds. I have many kobold figures but I don’t think I have an archer?

This scale is 32mm as opposed to my 28mm kobolds so this guy is going to have so much character towering over his friends 🤣
A gray figure of a kobold - a small dragonlike creature - wearing armor and a quiver and drawing back a bow. It stands in front of a white box with a Christmas tree on it with the number 3, the respective date to be opened. Behind are a number of other small, numbered holiday boxes.

You’re absolutely right! I’ll be hanging onto it.

And here’s the little guy! I knew I pulled it! I just had no idea it was going for so much.

It broke my heart not to put Mega Houndoom on this list but these seem like the most likely suspects based on me as a person.

Day 2! This archer immediately made me think of one of my players’ characters. Perhaps a sentry from where she’s from or a similar area. Lots I can do with this one.
A gray 3D-printed miniature of an elven archer, in body armor and a long fabric skirt, drawing an arrow to notch in a bow. The figure stands in front of a small, festive green gift box that reads “merry Christmas” with the number 2 on it, denoting the day of the month it is to be opened. Shredded brown paper pokes out of the top of the box. In the background are more holiday themed boxes stacked up with corresponding numbers on them.

Everyone: “your hair is going to look so cute when it starts growing back in!”

How my hair grew back in:

Countdown Calendar brought to you by Mr. Adam Barrett. I’m following along with his calendar for the second year in a row and I can’t recommend it enough. The quality of the prints and the wealth of designs are amazing, and it’s not limited to just D&D or high fantasy! He does a ton of sci-fi too!
A business card in black with a yellow xenomorph head and a QR code on the bottom right. It reads “LV426 Designs” “Adam Barrett, Owner” and “3D Printing Services”. An email (adam@lv426designs.co.uk) and a website (lv426designs.etsy.com) are listed.

My revisited childhood tradition starts again! Day 1 of the Miniature Advent Calendar is this super cool hag! Gonna see if I can get her primed up tonight.
A gray, unpainted plastic figure of a hag with curved horns, unnaturally long fingers, and a gnarled staff. She stands next to a small brown box with red mittens on it and the number 1. Behind them is a pyramid of other holiday-themed boxes with corresponding numbers on them.

A gym selfie taken in a mirror. I’m standing in a black t-shirts and sweatpants, holding a can of preworkout. In front of the mirror is a squat rack with two 25 lbs plates ready to be lifted, one on each side of the barbell.

Hair update, six months post-chemo. 🥹
A selfie of me showing off my natural brown hair that’s growing back. It’s somewhat wavy and slightly messy, but it kinda works. I’m smiling at the camera and I’m wearing a dark blue and green flannel shirt that’s slightly open at the top.

Celebrating my first N7 Day by telling every guest at work that “I should go”.
A selfie of me in my office. I’m so wearing a black Mass Effect themed hoodie with the N7 logo on it in white and red. On my head I’m wearing my usual black beanie with red devil horns coming out of it, and a rainbow lanyard tucked into my hoodie.

Leg Day Workout 11/5/2025:

- Inclined walk: 20 mins
- Squats: 45 lbs, 4 sets, 12 reps
- Stiff leg deadlifts: 90 lbs, 4 sets, 10 reps
- Seated calf raises: 90 lbs, 4 sets, 10 reps

I keep forgetting to take new accountability pictures at the gym, so here’s one from the archives.
A picture of me in my late 20s. I’m straddling the seat of a gym bench staring into the camera with the confident look and slight smirk of someone who just bench pressed 200+ lbs but probably realistically lifted 95. I’m wearing black athletic shorts and a black Ramones logo cutoff tee. My long brown hair is pulled back, and I was fairly fit. Gods I wished I still looked this good.

Instagram said I was too horny on main 😬
A screenshot of a video of firewomen posing for a calendar. I’ve captioned it “I’m about to throw myself into a burning building” A screenshot of a safety check-in Instagram sent me that says “you’re not alone” and suggests steps to take to get help, such as calling a hotline.

Seems like a perfect evening to share some recent @tappytoeclaws.bsky.social mail!! That little bat gnawing on the hot dog? That’s just me.

I love New York and antifascist frogs 💙

Have you snuggled your local devil today?

(I feel cozy in this fleece)
A selfie of me at my job. I’m looking softly at the camera. I have a black beanie with devil horns on it, a red flannel shirt, and a brown zip up fleece with a zipped pocket on the chest.

Continued to rally, went out to eat, one thing led to another and turns out I’m VERY skilled at the claw machines.
