Never asked but I'm sure Vanilla's are unable to understand for me suffering in the dungeon is a way to recharge. It's why I won't bother trying to explain how DIY stuff can be relaxing. It's nice to make something with your own hands. And when your shelf drops of the wall, you can only blame yourself, a far cry from the bla bla many of us post on social media about just how awesome they are. Plus something that initially looks simple easily turns into a complex question. Finally: once you start, you have to finish it. What's not to love about DIY?

In order to fix things, you need tools. Youtube is full of channels promoting the biggest, most bad-ass [unbelievable expensive] tools, you most of the time don't need. But why would you buy them online when you can walk into a hardware store like this? Once inside, for once Dutch doesn't know which door to choose.

Today's image is by Cabroon is a digital artist from Mexico, whose work often features damsels in distress. [Yes Disney Corp, I'm looking at you.] I'm very curious how he came up with the idea.

So why don't we?
