rooibos and dantalion (belonging to @putrefactions.bsky.social), jesters in emerald and pink and then monochrome respectively. dantalion is like half rooibos's size, and cute as a button. rooibos displays their fellow performer with tadaaaa hands.

what's better than one clown?

Things I revisit when I'm Going Through It:
-The Origin of Love from Hedwig and the Angry Inch
-Dudarai, the Khazakh folk song (i am not ethnically Khazakh I just enjoy the song a lot)
-Tony Leung crying into a tape recorder from Happy Together

Colored pencil drawing of a young man with black hair straddling a dragon and holding the dragon by the horns while the dragon has one hand on the man's tank top and the other on his hip.

New Years resolution to let go of shame so here i am bravely posting art of my OCs from my webnovel even though neither of them has shown up yet. #unchallengedsky #originalart #dragon #tomyirlfriendwhofollowsmeyouseenothing

Shout out to my spouse who doesn't so much match my freak as politely looks on as I wriggle on the ground like a gremlin.

The benefits of having 0 social media presence is that I can curate my stuff to No One But Myself.

The problem is Myself has been masking for 20+ years and feels incredibly nervous sharing personal things that bring joy.

youtu.be/YbKasfNak4U?... I found a new favorite animator. I love how they clearly borrow from modern dance as a language, before everything collapses into nature.

Does my high school French teacher know how deeply she would change my life when she showed my class Cirque du Soleil on a day when she didn't want to teach?

Researching how you do laundry in space and finding out the answer is....you don't. They just jettison stinky clothes off of the ISS.

Goo morning, monsters.

They’ll invent new words for you, none of them sufficient, each a new box to be ripped apart with your teeth and slithered out of. Until they finally learn the lesson.

WHAT THE FUCK THEY COMMODIFIED THE LONG FURBY???

I could be using social media differently as someone with Respectable Job but im too neurodivergent and I worry I'd just be virtually masking instead of being able to yell about monsters and anime.

I want to yell about the current shit state of healthcare but also I want to yell about mothman ass

We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?

On the Rise of ChatGPT and the Industrialization of the Post-Meaning World When you teach children to analyze, or appreciate, poetry, you get used to a certain complaint, that you’re making it up, that the writer did not give that much thought to choosing a colon over a c…

lithub.com/on-the-rise-... this article is great into putting into words how shitty AI is and inspires me to continue screaming my barely coherent words because I am asking to connect and be heard. We're so focused on words without meaning that we can't find meaning without words.

The Third and The Fourth World War, counterinsurgency, and Zionist influence on the state of the world according to Zapatistas.

An amazing drop by Schools for Chiapas. A must read.

-alien ant civil war about a eusocial monarchs ability to determine a species' annihilation
-getting assimilated into a massive bio-organism and needing to get rescued by one of the previously mentioned space ants
-human-alien diplomacy rests on a bunch of young adults and 3 otters in a trenchcoat

Current plots in my space opera:

-polycule struggling with their individual and collective humanity in at the dawn of space exploration
-failed billionaire colony on Europa through the eyes of one of the workers (I had this before the Europa Ice War memes)

Tfw the current story I'm working on is depressing af because its about actively straining against the chains of capitalism and colonialism but I want this story to get done first while its still relevant so I can write about bug reproductive politics in the next book.

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

Context free spoilers for Nezha 2 including Kirby's chef final smash from Super Smash Brothers Brawl, the screaming Marmot meme, "Now you're thinking with portals", Rock Eater from Neverending Story, the shot of Simba yelling as he watches Mufasa fall to his death, and the city of Pompeii

Somebody please talk to me about nezha 2

Tenna from Deltarune with wires exposed in his chest trying to hold it all together, ink and markers.

Don't look at me im using this blorbo to Cope

But then Barber Westchester causes the town to collapse into clay and parrots, and then Take Off the Blindfold further derails the narratives by giving us unsatisfactory endings to the previous arcs. And then all the little guys coming out of the character's eyes...(2/2)

Jonni Pepper's Blindfold series definitely has an evolving theme regarding existence and endings. Wasteland was a series of short films in a desperate, lonely emotional landscape. SaLiaToS was ultimately saying, "there are people" and the strange choices they make (1/2)

still musing over "take off the blindfold, adjust your eyes, look in the mirror, see the face of your mother" and i feel like the barely literate orc weeping about Ulysses. I feel like there's a core theme of alienation/our ability to identify with others but I don't have all the words

peak emotion is "writing a story so wrought with emotion you make yourself sick"
