So I heard, and because I know how annoying it is to not be attributed and credited for your own work you’ve earned yourself a follow back out of basic principle. It’s not much, but it’s something.
Also, not that I need to tell you this, because I’m sure you know, but you did an amazing job making it.

waanntt latexx :/
The first person who can give me a link to a place where I can buy my ladyfriend this dress will be greatly rewarded.
Why the hell are you still reading this? Get to work, dammit!
This is a story about Amazon being stupid.
Alright, a bit of background first. As some of you might know I recently moved into a new apartment. For the most part the roommate and I are settled in and now we’re just focusing on making some of the walls look less bare. We both decided that for the wall over the television we wanted to find something “Game of Thrones” related, and as of this morning I finally found something that was perfect.
Each one of the above posters are 13x19 inches and have been discounted down to a mere $.99 a piece. Sounds like a bargain, right? Well, apparently not, because Amazon is insisting on trying to charge a full $35 worth of shipping fees for an order of all seven.
Let me repeat that, just in case you don’t quite get it. Amazon is trying to increase the price of my order sixfold by charging a shipping cost for each item. By “item” I mean poster, all of which are coming from the same seller and are going to the same address.
… it’s not just me that doesn’t think this makes any sense, right?
Apparently how Amazon’s system works is that, unlike when you order from them in which all of your items can be bundled together with a single shipping charge,each individual item from a seller is assigned it’s own shipping charge, regardless of how many things you’re buying from that seller. There is no “by shipment” charges, it’s everything gets it’s own price.
It was around the time that I started wondering if they would ship each poster individually (because, after all, I would be paying these people to ship me my posters seven times) that I realized that this was all complete horseshit. Did Amazon just not realize how potentially broken this system of theirs is, or do they just not give a damn and are trying to gouge their customers out of more money as punishment from buying from an independent seller? Perhaps more importantly, why I haven’t I seen anyone yelling about this before?!

Still working on making some of the walls a little less bare. Anyone have any suggestions on other bits of nerdy wall art?
A few pictures of the esoterically named Vi Command Mk II (aka the new apartment). Before you ask, no, Kate the roommate didn’t care what we named this place. Moving on.
Right now Kate and I are still discussing various bits of art to hang on the abundance of empty walls we have. Right now we’re trying to find something Game of Thrones related that’s just the right size to hang over the television. There are also plans to retrieve a bookcase from my old house that we can use to store that pile of books in the living room, but for the most part we’re settled in.
There aren’t any pictures of the roommate’s room in this set because, for starters, it’s not my room. Also, she’s completely blacked out the window, so the place is pitch black. It kind of scares me…
HEY MAX ITS YOUR GIRLFRIEND
No, this is my girlfriend.
…
… I just realized that I don’t have any pictures of you because someone apparently hates having her picture taken and has threatened to throw my camera equipment into a lake if a camera lens is so much as pointed at her.
Still, you get the idea. Picture of you, etc.

Cyanide’s 100% natural, too, as are anthrax spores…
There’s at least on pothead in the world, somewhere, who upon reading this thought “… so what you’re saying is that we should smoke bears?”
Vanguard. Actually a rank among the Knights of the Balance; formidable spiritual warriors tasked with maintaining the balance between good and evil, light and dark, passion and calm. Imagine Avatar: The Last Airbender style bending, but with positive and negative energy instead.
The power to heal or harm, a lightweight suit of armour under the uniform and a pair of really cool swords.
Reblogging this if only to explain the sudden appearance of a new avatar.
Also, something kind of funny? The black-and-white avatar design I use was designed for a character named Vennith in a book I’ve been working on, and somehow from the “face” alone Jester managed to, in broad-strokes, nail the premise of his character. Pretty impressive.
Also, I’m stealing borrowing some elements of this design…
