I Saw That Coming · 11:04am Jun 29th, 2018
So, a few minutes agao I was playing with my new BB gun (a spring-powered revolver), happily bouncing the little plastic BBs off a piece of paper. A large spider crawls out of the cupboard. Wolf spider, or something similar. Horrible crawling biteyness. Not something you want running up your leg.
Sprayed it, but it was still twitching, and I had a BB already loaded into the revolver. Take aim, have the barrel just a few inches from Twitchy McBiteface, and... have you ever seen A Christmas Story? Yeah.
No real damage, lucky, but my eye is freaking killing me. My dignity was the real casualty.

Ah, sorry about that; glad there was no real damage done. :D

Looks like there might be a bruise, nothing more than that unless I wake up tomorrow and my eye falls out of my head.
Honestly, I've been laughing about it since it happened. It was too stupid not to find funny. Just gotta find a way to work it into one my fics now.

Good. :)

And good! :D
Very useful to be able to laugh at oneself, I've found. :)

Hm. Could be tricky, given the higher lethality in Fallout: Equestria settings. Finding a BB gun, or something like that, probably wouldn't be too difficult to insert (there's already one in the games, for one thing), but it seems like having someone accidentally injure themselves with it might be more difficult due to higher firearms experience, and if such an injury did happen, it might take longer to (in universe) transition to humor, if it did at all, given the usual consequences of shooting oneself with one's own weapon.
I'm a liiiiiiiiiittle late, but I've got a Darwin Award for ya, that's too funny
