the need to believe that pretty much all art is valid - whatever you're making, someone is going to like it and having been told that you're shitty at it is a bad match for all the mistakes you legitimately make as part of process. I look at stuff I'd hate if I made it, but which other people made and therefore it's really cool.

#drawings today, a kyton (chain devil) fighting an adventuring party, and a paladin or fighter rescues her spellcaster companion from fanatical cultists. Also listening to Pearl Jam.

*instinctively tries to light up*
I should probably save this for a special treat I don't usually get like you know, *rain*.

quick, grab the Veruca Salt albums and a copy of the Men Seeking Men section of The Stranger

I’m going to get out of here and just MAYBE not fuck up anything for the next 12+ hours.

This is another one of those days when, if you could cease existing simply by not wanting to exist anymore, I wouldn’t be around this evening. But it’s not that easy of course so I’m stuck.

Gran Stoker’s Dracula. It’s the version by his gran, so it’s basically about Drac and Jonathan Harker and all their friends planning a special party for Renfield, with bug cookies (“biscuits” since they’re British).

Yay, suicidal ideation thanks to work and the staggering lack of future/regret that I didn’t get training and find work in something I find unappealing and which I was told I was too fucking stupid to do. Been a while.

His TETSUBO slams into the base of my SKULL

I’m fighting NINJAS in a CATHEDRAL. Because that is fun to DRAW.

“Hggg”

It’s time for another TOUGH GUY MONOLOGUE.

The WHISPER of a NO DACHI as it’s pulled from its SHEATH

NINJAS. The sort there ALWAYS are in these COMICS.

Right on SCHEDULE. #FrankMiller #dialogue

@chimerror CHIMMY PLEASE GO GET COFFEE ALREADY

The sort of in depth knowledge of Japanese culture that you get from ordering Philadelphia Rolls at your neighborhood sushi place.

high heeled ladies spittin' at the nickerjacks
businessmen with a needle an' a spoon
I'm chewin' on a cigarette
pack of young girls goin' howlin' at the moon
hey darlin'! Sleepin' on the blacktop.
hey darlin'! Runnin' through the trees honey
hey darlin'! Leavin' for the next town
less'n mah sense catches up with me.

The spirits white as lightning all on me travels guide me,
the moon would shake and the stars would quake
whenever they espied me.
Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys
Bedlam boys are bonny
for they all go bare and they live on the air
and they want no drink nor money.

#drawings today, two Imperial Guard officers from WH40K, and two skeletal undead, while listening to various movie soundtrack bits.

also please remember that wild animals are wild. One is not to feed them, approach them, be kind to them, keep one as a pet or do anything at all which might acclimatize them to humans and therefore result in their deaths and, if there is a video of a wild animal that you consider cute, it's probably COMPLETELY HORRIBLE and you are a TERRIBLE PERSON who really shouldn't be in furry fandom, certainly. Crack a mammalogy textbook and a cold one and feel guilty instead.

yes I know mainstream media, I should stop drinking. I also need to stop smoking, eat more vegetables, do yoga, etc to extend my service life as long as possible for the good of the free market. Much the same way that during WWII a Japanese soldier's rifle was the personal property of the emperor and needed to be accorded the appropriate care.

"Harrison Ford is officially joining the MCU." Not *playing* anyone in the MCU mind, Harrison Ford is, himself, a superhero.
