Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

Time to learn about pandemic filming They have really dramatic lighting for this I do wonder why they decided to make this It's cool to see the audition videos Did Denali do a flip in skates??? I feel dumb, but I hadn't thought about how filming must've been so much more stressful for Tamisha because she was so much more vulnerable to COVID It's eerie to see NYC empty Kandy had COVID? Olivia's mom is beautiful Olivia had it too I feel bad for Rosé and her boyfriend having to be apart Digital drag really exploded I'm glad they're also addressing the murder of George Floyd I love all of the impressions A wig shortage! I hope Kahmora's family watches and is proud of her I would've gone nuts quarantining by myself for two weeks Wow the only thing you'd get is a red folder I hadn't noticed that the werkroom got bigger I hadn't thought about how much more exciting it would be to see the other queens after being quarantined for two weeks I wonde...

Last one of the queens separated!  Tamisha's outfit is so stunning Rosé takes up so much of the couch I wonder why they already were thinking no one would get eliminated Kahmora's earrings are gigantic Kahmora wears the clothes, not vice versa Utica is adorable I'm glad the queens are getting something positive out of the Porkchop "You know how to count to eight" Elliott was one of the last queens to appear which was probably also a detriment  I love that Utica got Kahmora's nail for her Oh Kahmora, I wish your parents were more supportive Oh Tamisha, I hope your mom sees you perform now Utica is kind This whole group is adorable It's interesting to hear some of the COVID requirements I didn't think how the pandemic would affect cities differently and thus queens' looks differently It is hard to go without human touch for so long Ha Joey has to shave "Topland" and "bottomland" make me giggle On to the next episode! (Prompt by me...

Still separated queens at this point.  It's fun to be reminded of the outfits earlier in the season LaLa is so beautiful I'm glad no one went home this week "You're unpredictable, just like your test results" I'm glad everyone got some positive comments Oop Elliott called Tina Nina Wait how did Elliott go home three times? I count two I don't want Kandy to cry Ah Gottmik is so strong Olivia is sweet Tina is really learning a lot from this if she's learning patience and how to vulnerable I hadn't thought about how the tops may be the least prepared for this lip sync Symone is a winner, baby But so is Olivia On to the next one!

I've been forgetting Untucked ! It must've been a trip to try and piece together what was going on Rosé doesn't seem bitter Tamisha is such a strong person The Porkchop was such a mean trick I wonder which group felt more bonded at first: the winners or the Porkchopped? It is still so unfair that Denali had to lip sync in ice skates Olivia is so talented It is interesting to see how many times queens have auditioned Has there really never been someone from Phoenix? It is interesting to hear how COVID has affected the world of drag It's reassuring to see the whole crew in masks and shields I want to hug Symone I forgot Tina was in a boy band! LaLa is thirsty but no shame Tina is also thirsty I get being nervous about getting in your own head and not coming across how you want to I forgot that the different groups originally banded together to get rid of the other group Little do you know, Kandy, so many weeks go by where no one goes home I can't believe I didn't ...

I think I'm going to do some D&D parodies. In a great game room, tucked away in bed, is a little halfling. "Goodnight dice, goodnight elementals made of ice." And to all the familiar things in the softly lit room -- to the picture of the three little owlbears sitting in chairs, to the gelatinous cubes and his tinkering tubes, to the magic mittens and the familiar kittens, to everything one by one -- the little halfling says goodnight. In the great game room  there was a gold dragon And a cockatrice And a picture of a bard pouring over the dice. And there were three little owlbears sitting in chairs And two familiar kittens and a pair of magic mittens  And a little toy orc and a weaponized pitchfork.  And a bridge and a troll And a goblin with a gnoll And a quiet wise DM who was whispering, "Roll."  Good night, dice. Good night, elementals made of ice.  Good night, bard pouring over the dice.  Good night, light and the cockatrice.  Good night, owlbe...

The reunion concludes! The death of Jen's dad is clearly still so fresh Wow Justin is clearly still upset about being kicked out of the Mormon church I didn't know Lisa's husband was married before her There are photos of Mary on your knee, Robert Sr. The husbands are all around supportive I feel bad that Heather is the only one without a partner here Oh, Whitney, I'm so sorry I'm glad Seth and Meredith are doing well (if indeed they are) I don't remember Lisa dismissing Heather's divorce Heather, I love ya, but Meredith's relationship isn't about you Jen seems genuinely remorseful  Wait when did Jen say these things about Heather? Ha Mary is falling asleep The hypnotherapy thing was bizarre Heather and Whitney need to listen to Jen about this Ugh Heather...listen I feel so bad for Jen right now Jen is an intelligent woman I wonder if all of the ladies will be back next season Wow they gave them meatballs to toast with (Prompt by me) The Real Housewi...

900th seems like a time to reflect. I appreciate having this hobby I have been having a lot of trouble writing I'm glad that I do write I don't love much of what I write I don't know if I'll ever finish a long piece I don't think many people read this I appreciate those who do read this more than they know My head feels empty I wonder if I just forced myself to write if more would be in there than I know I like writing reactions to things I like sharing more personal poems but I worry about my skill My Hoban posts are the most popular I hope this blog can help me connect I need more prompts I hope I can keep it going (Prompt by me) "? key" by Tomek Niedzwiedz

I've been on a tear lately. It makes me want to be a better DM The found family The crushes within the group The voice acting The sound effects made by the DM How the DM has so much of the world planned out How the characters have both soft and intense moments The vivid imagery The group can laugh at itself both in game and out The music The opening sequence The camaraderie of the players and the characters How the story slowly and intricately unfolds The rich side characters The guest stars (Prompt by me) Critical Role's logo used across official social media handles in 2020. 

Is it time for unplanned pregnancy #2? Oooh Julia is nauseous Brandon thought he was the king of the pull out method Brandon, you shouldn't tell your parents Julia is sick until you know she's pregnant or not WOW Ryan supposedly only pretended to use a condom with Stephanie Stephanie, Ryan does have a job...he doesn't know you pay his salary Wait you never use condoms? Does no one on this show use condoms? "Thank you for not stealing my mother's ring" Wow Stephanie just said "fuck off and die." I really hope they're done Stephanie just talked about getting a cabana boy...yikes Going to therapy alone is a great idea, Natalie I wonder if Mike did cheat Oop he was stoned too? Okay I would think he cheated too Oop Jovi doesn't know it's a big party either Yara is pregnant and having emotions Yara is so overwhelmed and Jovi immediately left her side Wow there are party favors even I'm glad Yara is bonding a little with Jovi's mom I lov...

The reunion continues! Also, I had to purchase this episode because BravoTV.com was being a jerk. Ah never forget that Mary married her grandfather Ah so Mary is actually apologizing? Mary did apologize, Jen Mary, it did seem like you admitted you were scared to go to a 7-11 if Black people were outside it Wait now Mary's taste isn't for Black guys? Mary no one was talking about that Ah so Mary is talking about colorism Mary, you said to Whitney that they're scared of Jen "Spin the truth. Destroy." My god if there was a will that said "marry my husband, granddaughter," I would die Wait Robert Sr. didn't know that he was supposed to marry Mary? Mary's grandmother's sister cleans her house? Robert Sr. is only 18 years older than Mary? Mary was married before, this is true Wow Mary is being really open about her marriage  So Mary did call her congregation poor and stingy? There are rumors that Mary's church is a cult So Mary...how do you buy...

Rusical time! Utica is a little bitter...you didn't really help Olivia I hadn't noticed before that Rosé's look was made out of those materials that you'd heat up to fuse together Love that it's "unverified" instead of "unauthorized" The group was so diplomatic in making role assignments but then it changed Tina voted for Denali to mess with Rosé's head...cool Anne Hathaway! I wonder if Anne's stuff was all pre-recorded Olivia can really sing Utica is getting tongue tied, but she knew this was the role...right? I am enjoying this discussion of the complexity of social media Denali, lots of people have crushes on cartoons. You are not alone! I love this look of Ru's Tuckahoe never dies I think my sound is a little off I love the Chicago  references Utica got it together! This TikTok segment is creepy Gottmik looks phenomenal  Denali and Gottmik have good chemistry This Rusical is long These queens are sweating Well done! I love Tina...

Happy Valentine's Day! Did Mike just call the moon a big ball of fire? Mike, again, why did you bring Natalie here? Natalie likes playing with fire? Is this a thing? Mike, you keep saying you have a lot to work on but not working on it See, Natalie is making a suggestion to work on things and you don't want to do it Mike says they have stuff to work on but then is shocked when Natalie thinks they have stuff to work on... Mike if you have issues beyond talking then you're done Okay Mike, so what is "more than a psychologist"?

Ah yes, let's shame Yara for her clothing choices Jovi's dad...you don't get a say in what Yara wears Jovi just thinks everyone wants to come to the U...

Time for an improv-y challenge! "Learn, grow, and win, bitch" Double t curse I believe that being on a reality show would give you weird dreams The library is open! Whiter than Gottmik and Utica trying to twerk to disco is my favorite Elliott really struggled with that but I have such sympathy I would love to come up with these segments Ruboot Symone's nails are beautiful Symone is struggling to support Kandy Wait it seems like there are lines for them... Wait Utica has done mime work? Oh yay the queens get to watch each other What's the point of having the dog barking? Playing off of an empty chair is hilarious LaLa did okay but the other queens outshone her Olivia is hilarious as a mime and Gottmik is being a great straight man  Utica's character was the hardest to play Symone and Kandy's segment isn't that funny Tina's butt needed to be even bigger It's weird to call NASA a corporation to me Tina and Elliott's segment also isn't that fun...

It's a great to see how things affect your writing. Collaboration can really help Worldbuilding can be dynamic Worldbuilding is a great backbone It's okay to improvise You can let fate decide You can figure out different ways to get out of the same problem Make sure your characters have flaws Think about your characters' skills Think about your characters' backgrounds Think about what your character owns Thinks about your characters' values Pace out conflict and main adventure Allow fun side quests Put thought into your background characters Have fun (Prompt by me) "100_3788" by Ade M.

Reunion part 1! They had them travel to NYC instead of having Andy go to Salt Lake? I love that Rihanna DMed Heather How often is Andy going to ask if something is a Mormon thing? Okay...but it was one sweat suit  Wow so it a birthday party for Meredith on Lisa's birthday about Jen Yes, we do need footage rolled Lisa, you're not gonna get me to hate Heather even if she was a little bit rude Lisa, you do think you're better than other people Lisa, are you saying you don't judge? Just because something is designer...doesn't mean it's good Also wow Mary just suggested that the question asker couldn't fit in or work that hideous outfit I'm sorry Heather and Mary lost their fathers Wow so Jen has a formula for putting up ads online...that's very lucrative I don't see why Jen's husband couldn't come to her dad's funeral...like he should've been able to take time off Mary...you were more rude to Jen than anyone else Okay no, they didn...

Can you tell which breeds I'm describing? Wrinkles cover my entire body and my tail curves. I'm from China. I share my name with hunting hare. I have large spots. I am from England. I come in a few different sizes. But all are fluffy, curly. I may speak in French but I have English cousins. Named for a bovine. I am a hot dog. My name isn't spelled how it sounds. I am long and small. (Prompt by me) "Dogs" posted by the National Library of Medicine

I would imagine tumble weeds if only the picture show of my mind had flipped on any film or even short reel. Yet now it sits there off, empty. How do I fill my life when the very core of  me is hollow and bare? Perhaps all there is is this, just wishes of tumble weeds. (Prompt by me) "2019/365/19 Done Tumbling Today..." by Alan Levine

They want your undivided attention They are trying to pet you They have seen a ghost and need some affection They want to let you know a package has arrived They're trying to tell you someone has walked by home They wonder if you too see the widening void spreading from the TV They hope you know how much they love you Their paw itches They're trying to activate your secret mode They want you to get them another dog friend They need to go out They can talk, but aren't ready to Their food or water dish is empty They want a treat for good behavior You are turning into a dog too (Prompt by Kimisha Cassidy) "2013/365/168 All Paws" by Alan Levine

Tis the season! Hot cocoa (or tea or some other warm drink) Baths (nothing warms you up so fully as a bath) Lots of layers Wearing your hair down Blankets on blankets Space heaters Warm food both in terms of temperature and comfort Taking moving breaks Friction Hugs Cuddling Fuzzy pets Fuzzy socks Keeping your head and face covered as much as possible Clothes fresh out of the dryer or warmed on a radiator (Prompt by me) "Image from page 28 of "Favorite recipes save time and money" (1919)" posted by Internet Archive Book Images

Tis the season! More than just Jack's nip, his jagged maw stretches wide and swallows you whole. Ice encases branches, the frozen air convinces you you'll soon join them. Layers deep, sweat begins, trickling into a stream threatening your warmth. How many sweaters equal one coat? How many coats equal enough? Cold creeping into the edges of your being hunching, clenching you. (Prompt by me) "Chasing the Wind" by Crusty Da Klown

 Back at it! I do wonder if Kandy and Joey will be together I do wonder why Tamisha brought up that she didn't like some of the other queens Oh yeah they can't get out of drag until the fight is over, huh? The table is still really crowded Disco time! A wallpaper design challenge does sound fun It's insane what the queens can make in just thirty minutes...like I probably couldn't make these things in two hours Elliott and Tamisha did amazing and boy are we really putting in the Tiger King  references "Easy, cheesy, beautiful" Tamisha and Elliott can both dance so their pair is solid Denali and Rosé are also a solid pair Denali did ice skating on a cruise ship?

Happy finale! Oh right we left off in hypnotherapy Yes to this editing Yes, setting up for a party is a lot of manual labor, Heather The wings and the clouds are different shades of pink and it bugs me "Life is short.  Buy the lips." Oof no one has talked to Jen? Yes, I wouldn't want Jen at my launch given how things were left but the show must make Heather invite Jen Okay so not no one reached out to Jen, just only Lisa did Did Jen just order vodka? Like neat? Sounds like Lisa and Jen did have a good moment in Vegas Jen was absolutely kidding when she said she'd drown Whitney in a lake I want Seth and Meredith to make it Meredith keeps talking about disengaging so I wonder if she'll make it to season 2 What hair salon hired Whitney's dad with his hair like that?
