Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Tuesday, Shrink Day and Other PLNs

I got a telehealth appointment with my brain quack today. And of course I activated the mechanism as soon as I started up the compy. Lest I get distracted by other things.

One of the things I spent my birthday money on is Death Stranding (Director's Cut) and I plan on spending at least a couple of hours on the spooky walking simulator for virtual hiking and chill.

Somewhere along the way, I also have to fill my Patreon with whatever I have got together. Y'all have got a lot of fanfic coming and that might be part of the problem.

Shiny distractions gonna shinily distract. Sigh.

I have only now just begun my entry for the next prompt in the Archive. That's going to be fun to arrange.

The new ankle bracer is working. I wish I knew the same about my knee stretchies. They take time to work, but dang they take a lot of time.

Onwards to do what I can in the time I have with the things available to me. Yaaaayyy...

Challenge #04670-L286: These Humans Are Crazy

How much will a human do for their friends? They will jump off a high cliff with nothing but a cloth on their back, and the secure rope so everyone else can get down more safely. -- Anon Guest

The good news was that Human Stig had some time to think. The bad news was that it might not be enough time to think.

Smoke rising up the hill behind them, toxic plants to the left of them, savage critters to the

Monday, Alternate PLNs

Mayhem's going to work on Wednesday, which means I have extra time to go forth and acquire supplies for the household. Huzzah.

Though walking around with my new, firmer ankle bracer is a bit of a pain in the arse, at least it doesn't require a sock so the velcro doesn't get on my sensory irritations. Part of my supply journey today includes stopping at a new meat place to see if the bargains are anything like Dickies.

Not helped by the

Challenge #04669-L285: Foretold You So

Through the myriad kaleidoscopic futures, I know it cannot be set in stone. However, your fate is destined for tragedy. Whether you walk it alone or with a band of merry men, the infinite possibilities collide into the same point. All you shall meet will meet the same fate by the end of your blade. -- Anon Guest

Curse or doom? Knowing the foretelling can allow one to try to wriggle free of it. "All you shall meet will meet the same

Sunday, Chill Day

Deep Heat has done some magic on my knotted shoulders. I really need a Big Burly Someone to knead the tangles out of my bod. I shall continue to apply Deep Heat and hope for the best until I find someone to pummel the ouch out of me.

There's no twitchcast again this week. The regular host has caught a Lurgi.

So I have more time to think up the story for next week, and I plan on wasting some time today.

Challenge #04668-L284: A-Questing Again

The kobold Anthe.. who became Gikka, found herself reborn again with her former memories, sorta. A love of adventuring, an elven wizard, .. a cat. She met them again around age 15, but she was a part of an adventuring party of her own. She was their rogue, and was deeply loved and protected. Especially by the human, who had a bit of a crush on her, but respected and trusted her fully.

Saturday, Baby Steps Again

Good news - I have an ankle brace with re-enforced sides. Bad news - getting used to it is a palpable learning curve. But I am getting used to it.

I fed my starter after a longer time period than usual. Wilson will be fine. I've done similar shenanigans before. I do try to not do it that often, for the record.

I need my cane again and doing my stretchies has to stop when they start to hurt. It's best to

Challenge #04667-L283: Calculated Retreat

The humans rescue havenworlder colonists from a planet suddenly suffering a massive cooling trend after a super-volcanic incident on the other side of the planet plunged the planet into a sudden ice age. They had no problem with the sub-zero temperatures, but also no problem with the havenworlders needing tropical heat either. One of the rescuers smiled.

Friday, Battery PLNs and Mor Supplies

The batteries I have for our fire alarms are shit, and there's only two places that might have them. If we're lucky. So it's a Leyland's tour to keep the household safe from the threat of flame.

If I find them quickly, I'll pick up a few other things on the way back. If it's a long-ass search then I will drag myself home and get on with the offerings.

I sincerely hope to get my hands on a more rigid ankle

Challenge #04666-L282: Room to Fly

A young human who could tell the gnome Bribrid was actually a dragon asked in a soft whisper. "Could I please have two small scales? I want to make my moms necklaces for their birthdays." He showed several very small pieces of metal already shaped similar to a butterfly's body. "My mom's wife has silver wings." The other necklace was already done, this one was a small blue and yellow agate shaped like a kitten. "And my mom loves cats." -- Anon

Thursday, Tired Bean

I've been waking up early to chatter with maniacs again. Not for D&D but for a writing collaboration. It's... getting out of hand.

And so is my sleep cycle.

Which is why I'm writing this entry at one in the afternoon. Not at all helped by everything and its kid brother's dog waking me up before I got a proper rest in.

Onwards to today's story. Don't be surprised if I end up phoning it in. I'll try not to,

Challenge #04665-L281: Bloodwork Results

The vampiric Count Dragomyr learns to ask first before acting. In this case, by doing so, he saved many lives. Had he rushed in as he so often had done in the desire to care for those he loved, he'd've caused more harm than good. He was grateful this lesson was taught to him.

It wasn't just doctors. Dragomyr encouraged libraries and education programs. For anyone willing to learn, the resources could be

Wednesday, Catching Up on Nonsense

I have begun prepping the pitch kits for A Devil's Tale book one. No point in pitching the rest of the six if I can't flog the other five.

I have some blurbs to brew up and the rest of it is lined up. Having a checksheet really helps get things together. Yay.

In a few hours, I'll have to put on some clothes because I am at last getting my preventer prescription. Hooray. I can also get supplies along the way.

Challenge #04664-L280: Mend the Moon

They found why the moon was stuck like this. An accident, an experiment gone wrong, and the rich {censoreds} that caused it? Were more interested in arguing whose fault it was than fixing it. Fine, then everyone ELSE would fix it, and the moon would be shoved back to its proper orbit again.

Tuesday, Patreon, Headaches, and Remote Tech Support

There's a lot of horseshit happening in my life today that I did not need happening. Starting with the precursor to a truly nasty stress headache that renders me functionally blind. Yay. The good news is that I clued on to what was happening and got myself dosed up with painkillers in time.

The bad news is - I have too much stress going on.

I have my mum panicking about her pension to the point where she's forgotten how to use
