Barely an amateur artist, barely a classically trained musician, definitely not a doctor. Drink your ovaltine.
Thinking about it. Have you drawn a tapir before, or at least horses? Not sure how my character species would look in your style

Is the cut going to be at right angles, or will it be more complex?

I got 3-4 cheap F-clamps and a plastic folding table, clamped the wood hanging off the table by however much I wanted to cut.

If you do opt for hand saw, make it to where the piece you’re cutting is about hip level.

For a technical search term, I’d call this either a lap joint or a rabbet.

I don’t have access to power tools (apartment living) so I use a speed square, pencil, cheap hand saw, and a chisel with a dual-headed rubber + plastic hammer

A tabletop or workbench with vise makes things much easier.

Since you asked for clips
Ben Whishaw youtu.be/j2kxURKKWDM
I guess he plays Paddington in the live action movies?

Ivo Graham youtu.be/U0aGtWoKDX8

Both these guys have a soft quality to their voices and speak rather slowly.
But again, I’m from the U.S. and don’t know the array of English accents.

I always read Thom in my own internal voice, as I started reading before I knew you were British.

The extent of my knowledge on British stuff begins and ends at Taskmaster, so I imagine the voice/timbre of Ivo Graham. Ben Whishaw or Stephen Merchant work too but they have bass in their voices.

He smiles? He can do that?
Preposterous

Do 3 sentence story. No need make sense, make simple make short

“Thom’s energy left him, save for the warm, pulsing cylinder between his hands. Looking down, he wondered whether the bugrito was still alive or if it held a live grenade inside. A throw, followed by a bang…Tears.. no bugrito tonight.”

Is it possible the issue isn’t just something you’re eating, but some sort of vitamin/nutrient deficit?
Maybe something like vitamin D.

No experience buying fursuits but I have tried buying historical fencing stuff (swords, clothes, etc) abroad. Contacted both my state + federal customs offices, and spoke with the makers.

No one had any clue whatsoever how it works. It’s based on materials used I think (woven fabric, faux fur, etc)

About to get a part 2 for your “how to remove rust” video, I see.

Need them even MORE nude! Hold him like a bowling ball, Branson. 🎳

Isn’t that illegal for you Brits to not make every available pun? Instant jail time for cultural erasure.

I feel line there’s 2 types of asmr.
The type with the intentional noises are grating and the kind with craftsmen or other activities being recording with the gain turned up high.

I like the second type, hate the first. Massage/chiropractic vids, Japanese carpentry, etc… me gusta, es muy bueno.

Literally just finished watching House of Dynamite. Super great but the ending was very sudden, which I guess was the point.

I kind of liked it for similar reasons I liked the second Battlestar Galactica show. If you’re on Farscape you must have watched it already, otherwise worth viewing.

Did they ever replace your sword or give some sort of rebate because of the bent blade?
This thing looks absolutely beautiful, I adore the half-wire grip aesthetic

I shant say another nice thing until you take it back. Ripley was perfect in that movie and everything she did was perfect.

But yeah I’m pretty sure it was a dry rag based on rewatching the clip.

Was hoping this would be an instructional video, lol.

Maybe it was like the Roman “De Re Militari” which was like a basic strategy handbook. Based on Wikipedia it seems like an idealized description of past practices.
No idea whether he was a soldier or just a writer, but it seems like medieval European generals liked the book.

If I based it on this app alone, I’d say having a record on most driving lessons canceled in one year

But yeah, I think your character design is pretty good and simple enough a lot of people end up wanting to do fanart of it. The sci fi setting and tone you use for your pieces are engaging as well.

I barked once in public as a joke and this is the face people gave me.
September 28, 2025 at 12:27 PM
But has it mentally prepared you to do other gross stuff as necessary?

Maybe you can find some strength from adversity here.

Was hoping this was a lost sketch of the star spangled series, not sure when I saw the last one of those.

The closest I’ve ever come to harming a child (joking of course…) was when a cousin corrected me when I asked for them to get me chai tea from some coffee shop.

I know it inherently means tea, but in the US I think tea with no modifier is assumed to be black tea. Meanwhile chai implies some spices.

Recently an old lady asked me for some “pickled gaggo” (pointing at the menu, where it said “pico de gallo”).
I cherish such things. Hold these moments close to your heart. May they be a light for you in dark places, when all other lights go out.
