Physical - Part 2: 2/27/19

tw: weight, food, calories, shame.

Seriously, this is boring food/fitness stuff. I do not recommend reading unless you're specifically interested, even if we're friends. This is mostly to help provide me a place to think through all kinds of toxic shit.

League of Legends - Part 4: Annie, the Dark Child

Summary: Checking out the lore/art of my first mage, the pyromancer Annie. Her vicious teddy Tibbers. An amazing origins video.


A hulking beast loomed, silhouetted against the firelight. Thick strands of sinew bound its limbs to its torso like stitching. With a start, Marcin realized the beast itself burned, unharmed by the hungry tongues of flame that danced across its fur. In its claws it held aloft, by the head, the slumped, bloody form of the bounty hunter, a limp rag doll in the massive paws of the monster.

Before it, the little girl stood wreathed in fire.

“You’re right, Tibbers,” she said. “He didn’t like being pulled either."
