Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

Season premiere! That's a lot of parakeets Kris has a lot of red flags Maybe visit Bogota first before committing to moving there Mr. Beef cake is amazing 9 DAYS?!?! Oof Jeymi almost died Okay we get it, NYC is dirty Oh my god that is a huge height difference between Daniele and Yohan Daniele practices Ifa? I feel like that's appropriative Rishi is gorgeous Daw look at that pig Why were you hanging out as friends if you thought he was a douche, Jen? Gabriel is a cutie with a great business Eating mangoes at the beach is not a financial plan Nor manifesting it Oh so we haven't discussed the plan with Yohan Jeymi has a precious doggo Oh no Kris seems like bad news I appreciate this gratuitous shower scene DANIELE IS NOT SENSIBLE Gabriel's sister is a reality check Yes, thank you, it's not your place to judge, Kris's mom (sorry I forgot your name) Have you not told Jeymi that you have narcolepsy, Kris??? Daniele...this should be a conversation not a an order Oh no ...

Which of these tickle your interest or tingle your spine? The bones proved brittle beneath her barred teeth. On an otherwise soundless night, a scream was carried delicately on the gusts of wind. The red door stood starkly in the hallway, having appeared in a silent yet all too sinister way. A baby cried and Elizabeth was halfway down the hall before her sleep-addled brain remembered there was no longer a baby. She tried to open her eyes against the darkness, but it swallowed her whole. She awoke to the sensation of burrowing deep in her ear. And just like that, her body wasn't her own. She could do nothing as she watched the lights one by one dim, flicker, and then go dark. Across the city, the women tried to scream but found that spiders crept out of their mouths instead. The lights in the sky moved and formed an erratic and constantly changing shape, but one thing was certain: they were getting closer. Reaching for his hand in the pitch darkness, she recoiled violently at the se...

Time for a sewing challenge (I think)! Aw sibling love It does seem like the cast is coming together to support each other Oop looks like I need to watch Untucked Oop spice is pissed Saved by the Ru Yes, the library! How old is Sasha? Marshalls, Marshalls, Marshalls is a solid joke Other half of her brain is also a good joke Aha it's not really a home decor challenge Oh they're randomly assigned into groups White people do love horses "Save a horse. Ride a Carson" Spice...you planned on someone else sewing your looks? Why didn't they just provide them all fabric? Oh we're getting a Ru consult Oh dear is Jax going home? We're getting so much backstory "Dompigtop" Mistress looks like Michelle Aura's look is simple but I love it Amethyst looks so much better than I was expecting Spice looks cute and her hair is great Luxx looks fabulous Robin looks fanatastic Jax's look is great but I hate the hair Anetra looks good Salina's look is a bi...

Time for the reunion! Lol they have them arrive in a van So Jen isn't going to be here Oop Lisa felt the need to prove she supported Meredith but it disproved her point Whitney, I love ya, but you do stir the pot So Jen admitted to taking drugs? Wait ketamine does not equal shrooms Does Lisa ever actually cry? Why did Lisa's singing go viral?

I'm potentially starting a new work campaign so I was looking at some videos from this YouTuber Ginny Di and came across some helpful tip-filled videos. I thought I'd use some ( "How to give your D&D character a personality" , "How to Flavor your D&D Spells" , and  "How to design clothes for your D&D character" ) as a basis for more inspiration on my characters. Some of these come from previous posts ( 1 , 2 , 3 ).  Spellcasting Most of the time when I play music, I'm just playing music, but sometimes I'm focusing on the weave of magic that runs through my music, playing with it, learning new ways to harness it to alter reality to your will. (from my DM) Maybe sometimes I'm trying to learn to do something specific and sometimes I'm more just experimenting broadly and happen upon something by luck or instinct. But learning a new spell isn't unlike composing a new song. (from my DM) When verbal, I sing with my lyre I ...

For the record, I won't be typing about Big Ed (you can ask me why if you're curious). Though, this time I may have to a bit as he'll be interacting with others. Angela is not loyal to the core...remember Billy? Oh Michael has a matching necklace to Angela "I'm not from America, lady" TMI ANGELA Fourteen feels too young to think about a boob job Where in Africa? (Ah South Africa) Shaun has a huge stack of notecards I think I agree with Jovi...which is rare Gwen has the best faces Okay yeah Yara is not ready Jovi, being passive aggressive isn't helpful Jovi and Yara could go to therapy and get a lot out of it Bilal, you can't joke about joint accounts Okay Jovi and Yara, you shouldn't have let Gwen make that purchase Yara's friend is named Cymphony? How did I miss this? Yara clapping for Jenny is a mood Yes, Gwen! TLC really wants Jovi and Andrei to be friends Jovi, why don't you put your currenthome in both of your names? I love Yara and Je...

I've never thrown one before! Find fancy teas Acquire snacks that I think are appropriate for a tea party (who cares what is TECHNICALLY supposed to be at a tea party?) Tidy Hide certain things with blankets Drop off Hoban Pick out a pretty outfit (light pink dress or strawberry dress?) Purchase milk and fake milk Clean the tea cups and tea sets Charge my camera Figure out how to use my teapots Buy an electric kettle Get the card table from my mom Lay out the linens Decide what music to play Choose what to put on the TV (if anything) (Prompt by me) "Tea Party with Lois by Wilson Henry Irvine, 1920" posted by snap713

Time for the Snatch Game! Wait does Salina not like Poppy? (Oh it's more of a general, glad it's not me thing) Oop we don't even get Poppy's message read? So why did Mistress have Spice say her joke? Ru's look is super fun This has to be the earliest Snatch Game I like how we're acting like it's random even though the producers definitely lined them up Never heard of Sugar's person but I'm super not hip Oh god there are so many people I don't know Lol the light went out Oh so we're doing Pit Crew as the contestants OMG Karen Huger Bruno had my answer Mistress isn't as funny to me as she is to Ru (she's funny but Ru is just head over heels) OMG Asaf! He was on AYTO Loosey really sounds like Joan Rivers Jax is funny so far Miley's answer didn't even fit the prompt... Oh this song is rough Sugar and Spice gotta stop it I hope the teachers who made fun of Loosey got fired Ru's look is not my favorite Amandla Stenberg's loo...

I like Marcia's look Amethyst looks fantastic Princess's look is a little boring to me I wanted Spice's toy so bad I loved the color of Aura's look I want Loosey's hair to be different Jax's look is fun Robin Fierce is fierce Mistress's look isn't my favorite Sugar's look doesn't inspire me Malaysia is beautiful I like Sasha's neck snap gag That was pretty good! Over the Rainbow group was fun So the final group gets points for concept but not so much for execution Yep Sasha deserved the win Princess is kicking Amethyst's ass WHAT Next time is The Snatch Game... ...times two? Next time looks pretty funny ...

Maybe one day! A Little Red Riding Hood inspired Paladin with a revenge oath against wolves who is very strong and wields an axe but sucks at intelligence and wisdom A bard who is like an obnoxious radio DJ A warlock whose patron is actually the angel on their shoulder (think the angel saying "Character, no!" and the character saying "Character, yes!") A druid who is a crazy cat lady A barbarian inspired by the ghost of Christmas Present (aggressively bringing cheer to all) A cleric trying to recruit people to definitely a cult where they all marry her An awkward warlock who is desperately in love with her patron who is not interested but is super awkward and regrets making the pact An air genasi monk as inspired by my first ever D&D character Irea Aire (boy am I creative at names) An eladrin warlock whose personality drastically changes with her season whose pact is with a creature of the underworld whom she is in love with (essentially, I'm trying to make ...

For the record, I won't be typing about Big Ed (you can ask me why if you're curious). Though, this time I may have to a bit as he'll be interacting with others. Angela is disappointing me Oop Shaeeda is going to confront Bilal Andrei does not care That's sad that Usman was the love of your life, Kim "Aftermath party" Okay if you knew it was going to be something presented as a two day thing, why couldn't they change clothes? How are Kim and Usman best friends? Usman thinks sex=love? Aw Jamal loves his mom "Sperm faceoff" ...doesn't your liver clean out toxins? Gross, Bilal Please stop this conversation You should have at least one joint bank account and you should know how much he makes, Shaeeda Chris? Who? Fight, friends, fight Okay, to be fair, suggesting skipping birth control is messed up Okay I thought the onesie was going to say, "Do you want to go half on a baby?" which would've been hilarious Yes, Jenny and Sumit are co...

Season premiere part 2! It seems like group 2 has a distinct disadvantage here Okay...older twin is barely anything You can't say ghetto, twins (sorry I looked away and I don't know which one said it) Making a glass of ice water? The twins are stressing me out Aw Ross is married I always think the choreography is impressive, especially given their time limit Malaysia was fun Spice was great Is anyone going to do something unique? Luxx is beautiful Mistress is funny Is Loosey singing live? I feel like I hear a track I'm enjoying Marcia's act I feel like Robin's track is too quiet Okay I find Irene's shtick funny I'm laughing, Malaysia Okay Anetra sold me on the quacks and I loved the wood chopping Sugar was cute I would've been more impressed with Princess's act if she was actually throwing her voice Salina was okay, but it didn't hold my attention Amethyst was okay, but I wanted her to do something with the wine Aura looked fierce Sasha's per...

Time to plead guilty (I think). Ah yes, lest we forget that Heather's opener is a reference to her book Hey an impulse buy at the airport means Heather is making bank So is Whitney in the choir or not? How many cousins do you have, Heather? Angie (can't remember which one) wants on this show "Barbie scissor kicks" You're not crying, Angie's husband It was personal... Coach Shah is too good...he believes in the good in people too much Oy vey...this is a rough performance of "Amazing Grace" It was a cover reveal party, y'all Wow, Angie K....you want on this show too badly Oh we're at the end? Ah no, we're halfway--we're just spending a lot of time with Jen and her trial (which is fair) Jen's mom is so sweet Foreshadowing for a plea deal Am I wrong? Didn't I hear that Jen's voice was on the autocall? Stuart is protecting himself Are you all really that surprised? I guess that's it? (Prompt by me) The Real Housewives of Sa...

Rest Drink fluids Eat what makes you feel good Dress comfy Watch TV that doesn't require much attention Take a soothing bath Give yourself a massage Take time off work Treat yourself kindly in regards to responsibilities Take medicine if there are meds that will help Cuddle your pets (if you have them) Get cozy or cool depending on what temperature you're feeling Listen to something soothing whether that's the sound of rain or an audiobook Pamper yourself as much as you're able Do anything else that you find soothing (lighting candles, putting on lotion, yoga, etc.) (Prompt by me) "Sick Baby" by Michael Cramer .

Season premiere part 1! I love Irene's makeup I feel like you should have another purpose Luxx looks great Oop it's awkward already I love Aura's outfit Marcia is funny I love Anetra's whole look Malaysia is campy and cute Princess is beautiful, but I don't think I got her entrance Sasha's look is fabulous Ariana Grande's entrance was the best surprise celebrity Ruveal Bless the Pit Crew Irene's photo was okay Luxx's photo was super fun Aura's face in her photo is divine Marcia's photo is the funniest so far, but not a great shot "Swamp witch realness" Anetra's shot wasn't great Malaysia's photo is so joyful Princess's photo is fun Sasha's hair flip was to die for Okay I don't think I would've picked Irene, but fair enough I like Marcia's rubber ducky earrings Lol it's already a fight for the spotlight Salina's name and shoes are the best Amethyst is cute and funnily awkward Is Amethyst really...

For the record, I won't be typing about Big Ed (you can ask me why if you're curious). Though, this time I may have to a bit as he'll be interacting with others. Rose spilling some tea There is so much in this episode about those I'm not typing about Did Angela just spit out plain water? Oop this is awkward Oh Angela is wearing a heart necklace of her and Michael Angela's voice has gotten worse Everyone is disappointed in Michael Michael...you are not just being polite It's hard to believe you, Michael Okay, never forget that Angela came to Michael's place and trashed his car Sure bullying is a strong word, but it's a pretty strong reaction to trash his car Yeah Michael...you should just break up with Angela So Libby is still doing songs I guess Yes, do a copyright-free song C'mon, y'all, let Libby sing if she wants to sing Now...did we try family therapy more than once? Charlie...some people can drink and be fine and some people drink and it...

I've seen this show twice now! Overall, it's great fun and I recommend it However, both times there were some dice rolls that didn't quite make sense I found it inspiring as a DM The actors seem to be having a grand old time Some jokes/bits are reused and don't have the same impact the second time around The whole cast is very charismatic I laughed out loud at times There is enough difference between the shows to make it worth seeing more than once I liked the variety of ways the audience could interact with the plot (games, riddles, voting, even acting) Though, I wish we could've rolled like a group stealth check or something at some point from our phones I really admire the person in charge of all the various queues because there seem to be so many paths we could take I wish at least one of my suggestions had been taken (c'mon, imagine the big bad at the end becoming a squelchy appendix named Aubergine) I wonder if the cast is actually taking shots when they s...
