Awkwardly speaking with a neighbour whose name I’ve forgotten, giving their dog pets, asking its name, hearing and even _repeating it aloud_… while only ever consciously thinking, ‘I’m doing it, I’m correctly having a human interaction’. The dog’s name lost forever along with its owner’s.

@1moremin@mastodon.ie !!! (I already hear the singing)

@madcollector I would have responded quicker, but I was washing my fingers.

@PJPaints@wargamers.social 💪 A Perfectly Normal Human. With wheelie bins and everything.

@senanthic@mstdn.ca Absolute fallback position, just wear the same flippin’ coat.

@senanthic@mstdn.ca If they can’t even make the effort to have an easily readable silhouette in any arbitrary lighting condition, then frankly I don’t even know what more they expect of me.

@senanthic@mstdn.ca “What do you mean, The One Who Wears A Coat, sometimes doesn’t wear that coat?!”

@senanthic@mstdn.ca Instead we have the absurd situation where I need to rotate daily between different colours of the same comfortable t-shirt so that I look sufficiently different any time I’m (horrifyingly) called upon to be on a work video call. /indignant splutter

@senanthic@mstdn.ca Dogs are at least polite enough to be uniquely dog-shaped for future recognition.

@erikcats @madcollector It’s the spoon-resting that cuts particularly deep.

@senanthic@mstdn.ca It’s a basic necessity!

@senanthic@mstdn.ca Some kind of dedicated new knick-knack shelving unit clearly essential 🤔 Best stop work for the day until that’s sorted.

@madcollector I keep watching it. My secret shame.

@1moremin @slashdottir Gotta boop that snoot ❤️

@renegadejade@chaosfem.tw Boop.

@1moremin@mastodon.ie The mythical hyperyellow!

@1moremin@mastodon.ie @moesko 😍 << my cones flopping in appreciation!

@madcollector This has to qualify as a better ‘tism test, surely @Alice ?

@1moremin@mastodon.ie @moesko Especially if your cones are as floppy as a wizard hat.

@1moremin@mastodon.ie @moesko Ooo, I’d never even thought about that (looking at the photo now), that the difference in colour perception might alter the total perception of the image. There's got to be a good short story in that premise too.

@RollleafD@dice.camp Completely agreed. Really freeing, weirdly, to have a set of restrictions added by someone! And we all heard it: you just absolutely committed to a full warband. (Also: huge congrats on the upcoming arrival! The other one, not the minis!)

@RollleafD@dice.camp @Berit@dice.camp Looking absolutely gorgeous, great choice of model for it too!

@paulos@dice.camp I initially read that as ‘two pints of water an hour’, every hour, between now and then. I was imagining it seeping through your pores.

@Shelly@zeppelin.flights I bet that croissant was up to something.

@timecowboy @1moremin I’m sure that’s a sighting of your Puddle Monster 😮

@1moremin@mastodon.ie A hero for our times!

@1moremin@mastodon.ie Your Nettle Lady would be ideal as a Bug Botanist (not a bug)…

@1moremin@mastodon.ie Something wonderfully sci-fi about this one if you look at it the right way… an arboretum with a gossamer protection against the black cold of space.

@PJPaints@wargamers.social Looking amazing, lovely texture and colour variation!

@RollleafD@dice.camp ❤️❤️❤️

@RollleafD@dice.camp Turns out choice-paralysis is very real in mini-painting!

@RollleafD@dice.camp 🤦‍♂️ How did I not realise what I'd written…

@RollleafD@dice.camp Aaah, the wild coincidence, I've been holding on to that Ork nob I'm using for ages because I just loved his big and little metal hands (weirdly now thinking of the Simpson’s, “I'm tired of these jokes about my giant hand, the first such incident…”)! Was scared to touch it in case I never finished it. If you love that palette and enjoy painting with it, I definitely put my vote in for chucking that self restraint into the sea! And thank you 🥰, I was surprised it came out so green!

@PJPaints@wargamers.social @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social I’ll be referencing your drawing when I get as far as forearm detailing…

@PJPaints@wargamers.social @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social Rule of cool all the way!

@johnsundell 🎉 I also see Rust is in your bio these days, any chance of a Rust by Sundell to go alongside it?!

@ShellFish @palmin Oooo

@PJPaints@wargamers.social @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social The whole head is spot-on - those cheek bones!

@Rubelicious@mastodon.ie Perfect 😆

@PJPaints@wargamers.social @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social 🤯🤩🥰

@ShaulaEvans Petitioning for “Niamos! 💃” to become a universally applicable response for the modern era.

@PJPaints@wargamers.social @Eatsbluecrayon@rollenspiel.social I don’t know how I didn’t recognise that face. It’s perfect.
