This is the “son of a bitch” bolt I was talking about on Sunday and never got round to explaining. 

You’re seeing a coat hook, unscrewed from the wall, with two screws for mounting it. LONG ASS SCREWS. And attached to one of them is the son of a bitch bolt. It’s spring loaded – those two metal fins on the screw fold up around it, and you shove the WHOLE THING into drywall, and then the fins pop open and latch into the drywall. You turn the screw to tighten it, and it threads through the place where the fins meet. 

Now, what this means in the short term is that the screws are more stable and tend to shift around in the wall less, meaning the hook can take more weight and sit in the wall longer without coming loose. But for me, trying to remove them for painting, what it meant was that there was something the screw had to come out of – but that something, the pair of fins, COULD spin around and around and not allow me to unscrew anything. And I couldn’t get at them to fold them up because the drywall was in the way. 

So I had to very carefully tilt each screw so that the drywall blocked the fins from moving but the screw could still come loose, then slide my fingers under the hook to pull with the hook while I pushed with the screwdriver. Two screws per hook times six hooks is like, 45 minutes spent just endlessly running a power drill. THE MOST ANNOYING.

Moral of the story is don’t use hardware you can’t access when you’re hanging anything in your home!

can someone explain the alignment chart for me but in like, the simplest wording possible lmao

lawful good: i want to do the right thing, and following society’s rules is the best way to do that

neutral good: i want to do what’s right, and i’m willing to bend or break the rules as long as no one gets hurt

chaotic good: i’m willing to do whatever it takes as long as it’s to do the right thing

lawful neutral: following the rules of society is the most important thing, and that matters more to me than doing what’s right

true neutral: i just want myself and the people i care about to be happy

chaotic neutral: i want my freedom, and i don’t care what i have to do to keep it

lawful evil: to impede the protagonists (in whatever evil way) is my primary goal, but i follow my own code of morals even when it’s inconvenient

neutral evil: to impede the protagonists (in whatever evil way) is the my primary goal, and while i’ll do what it takes to achieve it, i also won’t go out of my way to do unnecessary damage

chaotic evil: i relish in destruction and want to do as much damage as possible while i try to achieve my primary goal

Here is a handy visual guide I made a while back. Part of my intention was to show the variety of ways that each of the alignments can be represented:

You can see/reblog my original posts here, here, and here.

BEST ALIGNMENT CHARTS EVER.
