The thing about the D&D movie which is absolutely genius is that the game mechanics basically insulate them against any of the most frustratingly fun sucking movie criticisms. “But why were the guards looking the wrong way?” Failed their perception check. “Why did the spell stop RIGHT before they would have died” Dropped concentration. It gets to be dumb and fun anyone that TRIES to be the plot hole police gets ever increasingly obscure D&D rulebooks thrown down in front of them and called a fake nerd. There's NOTHING those type of guys hate more than being a fake nerd. This movie is untouchable.
showering is such an ordeal. i think it's all the sudden sensations. like you're suddenly wet, then you're suddenly very warm (if you take hot showers like me) then when you step out of the shower, you're suddenly cold. it's too much.

So, out of curiosity and "What can go wrong?" I've been trying to make a map of all the secret passages across campus. There seems to be more everyday. I am afraid of what is in the center.

The lines you draw on your field map (which has been crumpled and smoothed so many times now it’s developed a soft, felted texture) begin to take shape. Or rather something takes shape in the gaps between them, a negative-space portrait of something that you almost, almost recognize.

So I sought out that artisanal pen stall mentioned a while back, bought a pen and I think it will be safer in your hands, considering it’s effects.
It’s a quill pen, lovely green feather, that when you write down enough details about an animal on a single piece of paper causes the paper to fold itself into a little animate origami animal, details do extend to things like stats in a tabletop RPG. On a related note if anyone knows how to defeat and/or tame an origami chimera I’d be very appreciative of you’d let me know I’d like my bathroom back before my housemates realise what’s happened.

Right off the bat, it seems like the bathroom is one of the absolute worst places for paper creature to be. In the bottom five for sure. Worst comes to worst, you can probably just corner it in the shower stall and turn on the water. Or cats, or humane mousetraps - it’s folded from a single piece of paper, it’s barely the size of a rat.
But… have you considered making a second chimera before you pass the pen over, and maybe running a notebook through a shredder and filling a terrarium with the shreddings, and coaxing the pair of chimeras into the little paper desert where they can be dry and safe? It’s probably quite scared right now, and it’s certainly very small and alone.
One of the famous ghosts of Drury Lane theatre, known during his life as Lt. A. Kennedy of the Royal Navy. An interpretation of the Man in Grey inspired by @professorlehnsherr-almashy 's post about Archie Kennedy haunting Drury lane. Specifically, the admiralty box. Ouch
(me, my parents, my sister, and the baby are sitting at the kitchen table eating lunch)
baby, pointing at the light fixture over the table and signing "on": o.*
my sister: we actually can't turn that light on right now, because the lightbulb inside is burnt out! it needs a new one.
baby: ighbu.
sister: yes, lightbulb! granddaddy said after we eat he's going to climb up there on a ladder and change it, and then the light will come on!
baby: gadada! adda, uuu! ighbu o!
sister: exactly!
baby, signing "on" and pointing at the light and then my dad, with increasing urgency: GADADA ADDA UUUU. O.
my sister: we're going to finish eating first though, ok?
baby: nonono. O. gadada adda uuu.
[a split second goes by]
baby, pointing to himself: ba. adda uuu. ighbu.
me: you're going to climb the ladder and change the lightbulb yourself?
baby: dzyeah. *pointing to the buckle where he is buckled into the high chair* ububu.
me: unbuckle you? so you can change the lightbulb?
baby, highly businesslike: dzyeah.
*pronounced like "on" without the n
