The peppercorns worked out great! Thanks!

@thekpop.bsky.social and I are in!

Well…I guess I’m doing this today 🤪

A trooper

11:30pm: its lemon pig time. His name is Frank.

this is a good use of alt text. i love it muchly

Like some kind of lemony Pikachu fighting off the bad luck of ages

Dang! I guess I'm glad it's not that I'm doing something wrong. (Thanks for the quick response.)

pig time!!

The third photo he looks so sad. As if he knows.

Learning about this was a great wrap-up to 2024.

I made one.

Oh is that how to get rid of bad luck? I never knew. Will get one for 2025

I think I picked a particularly suitable lemon this year

I hadn't heard of it either.

I don't like the way it sneers at me

O my beloved cookie cake mascot

Imagine how much worse it would've been without the pig! 😉

yeah yeah say the line bart

God the before and after... I had to make my own this year

Light the matches on the old pig. Viking funeral

Who has brought hell crashing down upon the poor lemon pig?

The tears in its eyes (2nd pic) realizing its fate, breaks my heart

📌

What a weird and wonderful set of replies! I love this website

LEMON PIG! I NEED A LEMON

That reminds me of the many @themerl.bsky.social absolute units.

Ah yes, an ~Italian~ year

This just makes me think of a tiny, fat chihuahua. I can see why you like it!

JFC, that alt text... 🤣

Orange pig is all I can rustle up for 2025, with star anise ears and legs. Yes, the eye spots are mould.

I love your descriptive text :)

This is amazing

Lemon pig sphinx from Brazil 🥰

Just made mine. Good luck everybody.

This has got me so riled up and excited for the forthcoming year. I'm going to make a little lemon pig to guide me through.

I had to use plastic sprue from Warhammer as the legs but I was able to make a lemon pig as well! I even had a Canadian penny to use!

Nice bit of ju-ju there 😉

Ho I see! I'll try and find other things then!

Yep, comes from old advertisements for aluminum foil, if I recall correctly. I'll be making mine tomorrow.

📌

I hate to tell you this, but I doubt that your pig is going to last even 3 weeks before turning very nasty.

My little pig had a rough year bsky.app/profile/boni...

I wonder if you could do this with a larger fruit, so that you could make a joke about Durian Grey?

Say happy birthday to my little luck friend.

This gives me a new grotesque fear, thanks

Lemon pig my friends and I made

is the next piglet created on the first day of the new year? (please let it be so; 2025 NEEDS a humpday lemon pig)

How does the lemon pig work? Because last year was non-stop hell.

My minion of bad luck is complete! I feel kind of bad about this chirpy chap getting all the bad luck though... 😵‍💫Which sort of defeats the point! 🤦😂 Anyhoo, yay for Leonard Lemonpig!

📌Oh, I am so doing this for 2025...

I love the idea of using matchsticks! Gives the pig some fashion footwear

Do you toss the coin out with the pig? Is it supposed to be a specific type of coin?

omg CUTE

Lime swine?

YES

Just wanted to write the same :) - that ALT 👌

Um…WHAT??? 🤣🤣🤣

This is amazing and I love it

Look at that fresh faced lil guy 😭 rip in peace shrivelled 2024 pig 🙏

Oh is this a thing? What an amazing idea

This is my first time hearing about a lemon pig! This is so cute and a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

it sat on top of my microwave until matt told me to throw it out so i put it on display in my office instead

does it go through a soft or moldy stage or does it just dry up

Mine is up on a shelf in my kitchen with my bottles of oil and vinegar.

The alt text is the real hero here

I should have you know that because of your reminder post with your lemon pig art, my husband @drskorzy.bsky.social came literally prancing in here like Lord Summerisle to present me with this absolutely perfect specimen for our pyre. So thank you so much for that lol

fantastic

Lolol

🔥🔥🔥

You have an Appointment with the Wicker Man. #summerisle

literal lol switching from one picture to the other tyvm

Lemon pig made it to bluesky!

That tear in the young pig’s eye… they knew… they knew…

What am I looking at?

We were supposed to keep that thing all year??????

And Jacques Pépin has promoted this tradition and describes how to make these in not one, but two of his cookbooks! www.atlasobscura.com/articles/lem...

I just made one!

The 💧 under the eye in pic #2 feels like lemon pig knows what is coming and there’s nothing else to do but bite down harder 😬

Does this…does this actually work?

Happy new year from me and my lemon pig!

End of 2024: Leatherface pig

My lemon pig from last year.

Posts like this are why I came to Bluesky.

Oh gawd. Is that a Drakkari pig?!

omg

Day 6 and Lemon pig has a bloom of white and some green around the eyes. But fear not it is just a Goth phase.

withered golden freddy:

Well of course I need one. Here's Phoebe the pig

the alt...!

Not at the end of his journey, let's be honest. But anyway, all the more reason!

Omg I've never heard of doing this. It's so cute and morbid at the same time. Hahah

cute thread

Ok made one, rather pleased, will find a coin later
