When Grandpa Cliff had a train set that dwarfed his RV, and knew the historical details of every engine he modelled, that absolutely was not *autism*, was it?
Meme: scene from Gladiator altered from "are you not entertained?!" to "are you not into trains!?"

Picked up the MCP core set this weekend. Dangit, now I have to create a whole bunch more terrain, since the scale is different.

However will I survive?
Quick knock-together of a MCP-scale building. I built it in my dinding room... with a box of SCRAPS! Seriously though, scrap material from my pile of matboard and foamcore, and a shit ton of double sided tape because I can't find ANY of my PVA.

This part of a doodle I'm working on for a Discord I'm in looks suspiciously like @zoewithasword.bsky.social ... I swear it wasn't on purpose.

So *that* happened.

Fuck.
A car that caught on fire and was extinguished.

In third grade I did a book report on Moon Of Three Rings, by Andre Norton. I haven't read it since; I remember a spacer getting hurt and having his mind moved into a native animal - a barsk? - by a local witchy person.

I also recall writing it using GeOS on my C64 and using really obnoxious fonts.

Found a half finished drawing of my #CityOfHeroes main, Horizon Twilight, and decided to finish it off. Might redo it from scratch later if I can wrestle my ADHD under control... but its the first drawing I've been able to finish in weeks so that's something.
A caucasian female superhero wearing a grey and purple uniform with gold shoulder pads. she has pink spiked hair with a sideshave, and her eyes glow with pink energy.

@dropout.tv My (autistic) daughter caught me watching Game Changer last week and has now made the Rulette episode her fixation; she's been watching it on repeat every. Single. Day. And acting out the rules (though she's editing her language 😀).

Thanks, Sam and crew!

Look what pride did to Lucifer!
A statue of Lucifer, seated, wings half folded around him, nude save for a cloth bunched in his lap. And he's hot.

Wife bought me a display unit from a store going out of business to put my miniatures in...
Still need to get them nicely arranged but super happy with what's happening!

Took the DSLR out to see if I could photograph my arachnid copilot and it turns out there are two of them! #spider #jumpingspider #invertebrate
The spider who lives in the mould line around my windshield. Greyish green jumpiing spider with brown dorsal markings on the abdomen. The other jumping spider I saw while photographing the first! Grey-green jumping spider with brown markings on the abdomen and head.

Ha! I watched it last night! So...

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

I'm in fairly good, if anxious, hands, and we can geek out about serials afterwards.

But...! but...!
Still from the series Angel, a Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff: Amy Acker as Winifred... well, formerly. Now Winifred's body is possessed. It's complicated.

One more @onepagerules.bsky.social pic from this set...
Table view of a staged game of Grimdark Firefight by OnePageRules. A Stormpride Sister has taken a command point (From the Jackals set) on a rooftop. Across the alley is a Plague Brother who has laid down Covering Fire, and another Plague Brother is advancing at street level. In the distance some Plague Zombies mill around in the Plague Disciples deployment zone (They're Slow). A mix of handmade card terrain, GW plastic terrain, resin Warlayer buildings, and resin scatter terrain is all about. The board itself is made of foam tiles in a 48"x48" square.

Stormpride Sisters from DakkaDakka; Plague Marines from GW of course. Printed terrain from Warlayer.

Just had a visitor on my porch. Judging from the droppings nearby it's a popular hangout.
Anole, maybe? A brown lizard with pale spot markings perched on a blue plastic pencil box.

Sargent's 'Lady Agnew of Lochnaw'. His loose style combined with his depiction of beauty is just... Awesome.
An oil painting of a seated brunette woman wearing an iridescent sheer gown over lilac underskirts, with a lilac waist wrap. She is seated comfortably, and gazes at the viewer challengingly.

Tried something with some Necron proxies and they ended up looking like SecUnits.
Eight proxy models of Necrons painted with blue chests, shoulders, and heads with charcoal everywhere else.
